Alien Anarchy!

"Oh, shi...!" A hapless scout finds himself trapped
between Predator and prey.

Nearing the end of unpacking the various boxes under and around my newly erected games table, I rediscovered my wonderful, pre-painted Aliens Vs Predator Horrorclix figures... and immediately wondered how they would measure up against the AT-43 figures I already had displayed on the table.

I pictured a scenario where the UNA had set up camp around a deserted town that happened to be an alien queen's nest.

The UNA have been ambushed by the xenomorphs, but a gang of Predators are also on the way through the surrounding forests to wipe out the alien nest; but will they assist the UNA troopers or just count them as additional trophies?

More pictures can be found below.


I've thought about trying to rebase the Horrorclix, but then again I might be able to persuade Nick to join me in a game "by the book" - I imagine it's pretty staright forward to translate the games' grid-based rules into tabletop measurements, by simply substituting one inch for each square.
