Slave2Gaming Alien Invasion miniatures and the next venture in Roleplaying

After that last entry on the blog, and those depressing (and appalling) player character obituaries. It's time to return to painting stuff.

A Slave2Gaming Alien Invasion miniature

When our role playing group wound up with all the party members dead or gone insane in the same gaming session, and within the first hour of gaming, it was time for a change. We discussed the next genera of roleplaying the group wanted to explore and arrived at a decision. But more on that in a later blog post. For now here is a teaser of where we may be heading.


So this little blighter (who isn't that small) is from Slave2Gaming's Alien Invasion range. I picked up a few individual aliens at MOAB back in October and have just painted the first one up. He will be playing a supporting cast to the player characters if they play their cards right. A sort of slap stick side kick with an Alien Blaster and plasma grenades.


His jumpsuit was painted in Gun Metal and then camouflaged in white splotches. I figured that as he is an alien his camo was tailored to another environment prior to his crash landing on Earth (spoiler alert and part of his back story).


I still haven't decided on how to do the miniature's base yet. So he still isn't completely finished.


Here is a side by side comparison between the Zetan from Fallout 4 Wasteland Warfare and our lad from Slave2Gaming. These two will end up being mortal enemies (that's another spoiler alert and another part of his backstory).


Here you can see that the Zetan and the Slave2Gaming alien are the same size. The Zetan will eventually get painted also and have green skin as opposed to old mate here with a grey skin.

So that's the side kick done. Next post will start to show off some of the player characters.
