Uncharacteristically good weather plus an even more uncharacteristic busy social life has meant that my hobby time has been curtailed of late. As a result todays post is a bit half-assed. It does show that at least I am making some progress with my Aliens re-theme of Space Hulk.
Alien Queen Basing
Mikko at Dawn of the Lead has been making a lot more progress on his identical project here. His latest addition of a very nice looking Alien Queen that came from a gashapon toy is in need of a base. As I recently made a basic but functional base for getting my large Horrorclix Queen on the Space Hulk board, I decided to put up a quick photo.
Grid Markings
After removing the model from its clix base I stuck some styrene with a treadplate pattern on it to a 60mm plywood base. I then added some styrene strips in a sort of tic-tac-toe pattern that matches the size of the squares in a game of Space Hulk.
While obviously using such a large figure will make some parts of the game feel a little cramped, the grid marked on the base should make it apparent where the Queen is standing in rules terms. Adjacent figures will have to stand on small parts of the queens base but I dont foresee that being a big problem.
