Prodos Games

I think I figured the Razor Claw model out. I'm thinking we start with a Praetorian, then do a head swap. I'm actually eyeballing the minimates aliens as a possible model for the head swap and am going to see about getting my hands on one to see how it scales before committing to doing one up.

In light of this latest sale, I opted to order up some more items. In addition to the above, I've got Dutch and Lynn coming, a second Officer, two more sets of the Speed Bumps, and another Hot Landing box set which will add five more Prisoners and another synthetic. Also the "One Last Mission" model, but that doesn't look like it's an actual game piece, but a display piece instead.

Last night I created a custom miniature. I got my hands on some guns that can pass as the Pulse Rifle. With a set of five, I figure a couple can be used for bases or similar, but one I decided to use to create Jeri. https://avp.fandom.com/wiki/Jeri I took a Alien Warrior, put a pulse rifle in one of it's hands (Had to take part of the trigger finger off so it would fit in the hand right), then drilled a tiny hole in it's mouth and slipped a short bit of wire into it (The stuff I use for pinning) that I'll be painting up as a cigar. Not sure when I'll get around to painting it, but when it happens I'll try to remember to post pictures.

No new predators coming, but got some more Aliens on the way. I still intend to get those pictured up in a new thread when the last of them arrive (Still waiting on a couple of items from Miniatures Market in addition to the items I just ordered up here).

Still wet, but this is what they look like:

Received my final order from Prodos today. Was happy to see it arrive, but saddened to know this would be the last order I would receive for this game.

The eggs look fantastic. And both models of Machiko look really good.

When I had made the order, I accidentally added a special edition Machiko to the order without realizing I was getting a free one already. When I realized the mistake, it was too late to do anything about it, and my knee jerk reaction was that I was going to get another of the regular edition so I could put one of each into my kids' collection since that was the only way I expected to be getting the extra card for it. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the Predator edition came with a card of it's own while the regular edition had both cards included.

In addition to all of that, I found two more copies of the Hot Landing box pretty cheap along with a few other items that should be coming in over the next few days. I want to get everything assembled (Got a bunch of hell hounds that I still need to build, some alien Warriors, and a couple of custom jobs to do still.) then I'll be taking some pictures of my completed armies. When that happens, I'll be sure to share.

Ok, completed models, still need to do some filler in some gaps, and want to do a repose of the second model's arm, but otherwise they're mostly complete, just need to find the time to paint them.

First two images are of the claw variant. This one was almost spot on. Really happy with it.

Second one, the arm didn't line up so well, I need to go back and repose it so things line up better, but it will have to wait for another day.

Well, I managed to find two more of the expansion box on ebay which put me at 20 Spitters. Got the last two and at a pretty fair price, so that pleases me to no end.

Picked up a box of the Purple Shark models from Prodos' discontinued Mutant Chronicles line and plan to convert them into Predator Bikes. It looks like the pilots are part of the main portion of the model, but I think I can cut them off at the waist and replace them with a predator without too much trouble (I have several sets of the starter box, so I'm going to see what I can do with one set of those models.)

I also managed to find some Alien Eggs over on Miniature Market pretty cheap, so snagged some more of those.

I still need to find a copy of Dutch and Linn, and a couple of Berserker models, but I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't just head over to HeroForge and see if I can't create proxies for the first two, and the Berserkers I may end up just having to make due with some subtle repaints.

There was a Predator Gunship over on ebay the other day, I've seen one posted a couple of times now. I think I'll need to squirrel away a bit of money and try to snag one of those when I see it again so I can field a gunship on the table.

Other than that, I've got a ton of custom models I want to put together. It's starting to look like this game is going to turn into a labor of love to get everything I hope to add to the collection.

Also, if no one else noticed, there's a new Aliens miniature game coming out (Wont say more than that since I don't know what Prodos' stance on sharing that kind of information is, but head over to Game Board Geek and search for Aliens and it should be pretty easy to find.) that looks like it's going to be pretty close in size. I'll be picking that one up when it comes out and giving it a try. I really like the Prodos game, so unless the new one blows me away, I'll likely convert models as needed to work with this game rather than the other way around.

And while I'm at it: Thank you to everyone who has shared images of their models around here over the last couple of years. I've enjoyed seeing them, and in several cases, I've drawn inspiration from them. I still hope to get some pictures of my stuff eventually to share, there's quite a bit, but I need to finish building a few items before I can get complete army pictures. I'll likely post them as one last Hurrah before signing out for a final time around here.
