Alien Warriors Work In Progress

 Scale comparison between William Killian (Crooked Dice) and an Alien Warrior.



Frostgrave Cultists II

 So after four odd years, Frostgrave Cults go Co-Ed!

Like the male Frostgrave Cultists, the female Cultists II box contains four identical sprues, each containing five cultist bodies, an assortment of melee and ranged weapons plus components for making female zombies.




The great thing about them is their compatibility with the other Frostgrave and Stargrave figures.
This cultist for Stargrave or Five Parsecs From Home uses one of the cultist bodies with the machine gun arms and a hooded and masked head from the Stargrave Scavengers II set



I now have to build some "out of the box" to reinforce my Necromancer's army.

Aliens: Alien Warriors 2

 So, having bought the Five Parsecs From Home Compendium (which contains the stand-alone game Bug Hunt) I had looked around for some suitable Alien opposition.

Having looked at what was available (and having the original Aliens: Alien Warriors box to hand) I thought that the classic Xenomorph would be an option.

Of course, that was only twelve figures, and experience of Space Hulk made me think I would need some more.

The current box contains two of the Alien Warrior sprues and the new Alien 2 sprue.

These are slightly different (the slightness reinforced by the presence of an identifying label on the base) to the general Alien Warrior.


The figures comprise two body halves, each figure has a choice of two different heads.
The arms and tails are interchangeable within the sprue and with the original figures.
