GETTING A LITTLE SPACEY - PAINTED ALTERNATIVE ARMIES 28MM SCIFI MINIS

 

A while back, I was gifted these three cool scifi minis from the Alternative Armies "Alternate Stars" range. From left to right they are AS008 Fomor Space Raider with Laser Rifle, AS003 CPU4016 Cyborg Enslaver, and AS011 Uhul Warrior with Laser Cannon (40mm Tall). I am mparticularly fond of AS011 as it is inspired by some of my very first miniatures sculpts, a fantasy race of owl men called the Uhul. Gavin told me that he had to have one in this range which is quite the honor for me to have created such a memorable race of imaginary creatures. the entire Alternate Stars range is a wonderful collection of scifi characters that all have the perfect balance of detail and simplicity that make for great game pieces. 

I have painted them using a combination of speed paints and regular acrylic miniatures paint with simple color schemes and not too much work. I tend to paint to a tabletop standard. For the Fomor Space Raider, I went with a red so as to break away from a more gobliny look. The Uhul is purple because I felt like doing something different than a regular owl color scheme.
