Geiger Aliens
This is a cheap set of (licensed!) H. R. Geiger Alien figures. Fifteen dollars
for thirty five figures - 17 aliens and 18 space marines. In general, that
is a very alien friendly ratio.
They are to plastic army men scale. So the space marines don't do much for me,
but the aliens are a good size for 28mm gaming. They're a bit chunky with
respect to the "real" aliens (yes, I said that), but that just really makes
them more menacing.
Here are the different sculpts. It's a reasonable spread. For most skirmish
games, ten of these dudes are probably a lot. Even if you just throw away
the space marines, they are still less than one dollar per figure.
I little bit of 22 gauge insulated copper wire later, and a few of them have
that second mouth sticking out.
If we add the second mouths, then we need to also add slime trails from the
mouths. For this, pour some streams of fabric glue on to wax paper. Once it
dries, you can peel it off and get translucent slime. Running over it with
green ink makes them green slime vice clear slime. This is a great technique
for lots of drippy slime things.
This is a horrible picture for showing off the aliens, but I thought it came
out pretty coll looking.
This is a decent view with single and double mouths, and shows off some slime.
And this is how the humans usually end up in this type of encounter.
