I have to admit I'm a fan of the black look, to me Xenomorphs are the things that lurk in the shadows.
The issue is how boring that would look on all the Aliens.
So bar Brown skinned Aliens like Stalkers I tried a scheme of base coated black with drybrushing of very dark grey and a few grey highlights. After this ink your colour on like Blue and your done with a simple scheme. I'll be using blue on infants and green on Warriors (A:R style look) to make it easier to distinguish between units.

Hi guys :)
Hi guys :)
The points are admittedly out of balance. You would be pleased to know that we have formulated a new calculation mechanic which will attribute more acurately the points to the system, to be released as the new version of the rulebook.
Keep on gaming, and soon enough we will have matching forces.

Some great work there, the egg laying Queen looks awesome if not just for displaying your hive scenically.

By the way, while working on the next model yesterday, I tried both head scales pulp and fine. But the fine scale looks too small. Pulp it is

@PredatorYoungBlood yeah it's
@PredatorYoungBlood yeah it's a shame so many issues have plagued the KS backers. Wave releases I expected I always find something I really want from a KS is on a later or the last Wave.
@Freefallrlc I can see that my test runs showed me Marines and Predators have alot of little details that a brush is going to be needed for.
I plan to document it all!
A good tip for those looking for basesif, I could decide on base themes for my minis I would go for Seceret Weapon Bases as they fit perfectly and are great quality.
My stuff should arrive in the next day or so, expect some opening and size comparison stuff soon.

Ah, yes the long and rocky
Ah, yes the long and rocky road of KS delivery is finaly coming to an end sooner or later. So many bumps along the way! I can't wait for the final approval of Wargame Rules :)
So, I started as well with my Core Aliens. I don't use Spraygun, and mostly apply paint with brush. I got a White Spray Can (citadel) and followed a nice technique I spotted online. You whiten them up, then you use brown wash. Once dry, you use the color of choice mixed with same color wash and water. Then you just wash the mix, and ta-dah! Aliens!
I followed the same path with my Marines, although later on I added jungle camo.
For the Preds I did alot more highlighting work, because the models are so good I could not help it.
As for the bases, since I am a Wargamer throught and through, I simply made them Rocky Jungle. I will use them on the Wargame for open ground, and even got some nice buildings that fit the "jungle hidden lab" description.
So, about your "partially sent", when I receive my notifications it usually takes a couple of days or so till I get a notification from "Allekurier" saying it has been picked up. Then sometime later on that page there is the extra code for the company that does the moving around (for me it is UPS). But there have been some comments of people just receiving stuff without notification, however that is rare.
