\"Invader<\/a>
Invader wearing Alien "armor." Why is it that everyone sees a dead Alien as a badge of honor? Since there was an Alien skull on the interior of a space ship in the second Predator movie, this seems to be iconic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I recently received these alien invader figures from Slave2Gaming<\/a>, which is an Australian outfit. \u00a0Their service was excellent, by the way. \u00a0I had a limited amount of painting time this weekend, so I was looking for something I could knock out quickly.<\/p>\n

I primed them black and then sprayed them silver. \u00a0Then I applied a Citadel Nuln Oil wash. \u00a0I still have no idea what the heck a Nuln is or why it needs to be oiled, but is a pretty good black wash.<\/p>\n

\"Invader<\/a>

From many of my earlier blob posts you can see that I typically avoid the temptation to make all aliens green, but these guys were just crying to have green skin. \u00a0Though they had nice big eyes that would allow easy painting of pupils, I decided that the figures looked much more alien without them.<\/p>\n

\"Invader<\/a>

I have enough of these to make a full squad for Combat Patrol(TM)<\/a> or GASLIGHT<\/a> plus a heavy weapon team, and an overall leader. \u00a0I suspect that the overlords of whatever planet they came from feel that that is a large enough invasion force to take over Hoboken, Fitchburg, or Cucamonga.<\/p>\n
