One page rules recon force
Papsikels have a link to xeno wars one page rules army lists covering aliens, predators,marines, engineers and the corporation. This is my 1000 point marine recon force. It includes an officer. A command unit with adjutant. Two recon squads with heavy sniper rifles, the ARC carrier and a special weapons squad with plasma rifles. The army lists allow you to give them all sorts of special weapons and abilities. This small force is designed to be a scout force. If I add more points it could be a standard marine platoon with apc and smart guns but I thought I'd theme it slightly different from the norm.
ARC
Ron cobbs original apc design for Aliens reimagined in the dark descent video game as the advanced recon carrier. A scout version of the apc
3d print from papsikels 
Winter marines
Something that pops up in the rpg is cold weather marines. It makes sense for operating on cold worlds. Skullforge have created stls for them. They could equally be good mercs.
Medical extras
I found these prints available from David Sheff models. Giles only £3 and give some nice scatter terrain for my clinic. Some thing I really wanted was body bags. Entering a facility and finding lots of body bags is never a good sign. Also nice beds and gurneys 
I can swap out terrain and give my Lv427-designs prints more options
Colony board
I've been printing Sci fi tiles for my 2000ad judge dredd project but I thought I'd sling my alien terrain on it and see how it looks force built up style colony
More Union of progressive people
3D prints from papsikels that add some reinforcements to my space communist forces. Something different to go up against the colonial marines. Papsikels prints are a bit too large so I reduced the size slightly to match my collection 
Some missile lanchers and special weapons. I need to get some upp version of smart guns as well. Playing fate of the Nostromo
I managed to convince the wife that the Alien board game isn't one of those complicated games with lots of rules that only I know a lots of minis all over the place and doesn't take 5 hours to play 
We managed to set the self destruct but only I got to the escape shuttle which means we lost but I like to think I got away and she was left to explode. She wasn't happy about it.Playing in the violent dark
Using blacksitestudios violent dark game we played three scenarios which are all rolled up randomly following the crew of four. I used my marines as two military personnel one officer and a specialist 
They had to enter to complex and investigate an anomaly and as a side mission bring the power back on at three switches while avoiding what ever random horror appears. The crew discovered the anomaly to be an alien egg. That didn't look good. Setting up a sentry gun they got to work bringing the power back on only to be stalked by a couple of xenos. Covering each other the crew survived to head into the medlab.
Once in the medlab they had a new mission to take down any xenos they found. With sentry guns and flame units they succeeded. 
The final mission is where it all went wrong. The op centre was filled with noxious fumes which gad to be turned off. However it was occupied by some rogue synthetics. With a polite request to tell us all about their safety protocols the working Joe's batterd down doors and heads. The specialist put on his environment protection suit and got to work but between the killer fumes and the Joe's the marines soon succumbed. Mission failure. Better send in some more grunts.
