A collection of Hordes of the Future Aliens from Alternative Armies. 3 Aquafins, a Calamite, a Felite and a Corpulati.
Here is a pack of Ikwen Militia from the Loud Ninja Games range of Alternative Armies. They scale nicely with the rest of my 15mm minis, as they’re on the larger end of the scale.
For the skin tone I used turquoise blue undercoat glazed with lemon yellow and ultramarine blue for the spikes.
I recently got my shipment from Ground Zero Games. I was curious as to how they scaled in 15mm and it seems that they are in the larger end of 15mm, aka heroic 15mm, 1:100 or 18mm. Which is great, as they’ll fit right in with my Alternative Armies Ion Age and HOF range miniatures. The sculpts are nice and crisp. So to start with, I painted a pack of Free Trader Crew and half a pack (only one pose of each) of Ravagers (Generic Space Pirates/Ravagers/Bad Guys).
I went with an earth and cool colour palette. Black or Brown coats and boots, blue jeans and overalls and green trousers. I desaturated the blue and greens by mixing some warm gray. I also painted some white shirts but the soft tone wash muddied them up a lot.
I also went a bit overboard on the bases. Big brown sand spots, rocks and fine sand overall with spots of brown grass. It was more work than usual but I like how they look.
The number 80 of this series of blog posts includes … what else, Octopods! These aliens are from Alternative Armies Hordes of Future range. On hindsight I should have painted the eyes a different colour, as they’re big enough to make them stand out. I might return and touch them up with a purple colour in the future.
I think they’ll make perfect pirates or other enemies for my Five Parsecs campaign or other similar sci fi games.
Here’s a bunch of sci fi miniatures from Alternative Armies HOF and Ion Age range.
This is the set of a handful Rad Zombies from the Alternative Armies Loud Ninja Games range. I painted them in more conventional flesh and bone colours, so that they can double as some sort of flesh abominations in typical fantasy, and they won’t be limited at Sci-fi tables.
Here are some more sci-fi miniatures that I painted back in 2021, from the Alternative Armies 15mm Ion Age range. A couple of Prangs, Beotans and a Grim Reaperbot.
The pile is unending. Here are 7 Pioneers from the Ion Age range of Alternative Armies.
A handful more Sci-Fi miniatures from the Ion Age and HOF ranges of Alternative Armies, covering different aspects. They will easily fit with existing enemy squads as specialists or leaders, or as party members.
