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.
Clinic completed
Inspired to do different colony buildings now Lv427-designs do outer walls I wanted to finish my medical facility. I wanted a less industrial look so used padded corridors from the Nostromo and added a green accent colour. The truck is from papsikels and I thought it made a good ambulance 
Some extra rooms
Clinic entrance. It's a print used for the entrance to operations but painted up to natch my clinic in green
Toilet block. Lv427-designs asked their community for any small room ideas and I said toilets. They did a bathroom but what about communal loos. Where do people go on these space stations and colonies? You need toilets. I was glad they listened 
More marines
I felt I had enough marines but I saw this lot from skullforge and printed them off. You can get the files for all these chaps and the dead and Wounded for about £8. I thought that was a bargain considering ghe price of other stls out there for marines
Sgt GerryReactor expansion 2
Now I've printed some outer walls I thought I'd see if they work around this large room. I've also added eggs and other extras to yhe build.
Painting up some details
Bit of weathering and posters
I've gone for a green to represent the medical centre 
Outer colony walls
Lv427-designs have released outer walls for their 3D prints. I've just gotten an fdm printer so I thought I'd test it on these editions go my colony. I'm starting with a medical block.
These pieces are very customisable so you can mix and match and anyone whose played the dark descent aliens video game will get good vibes from this.
Adding some posters
I've searched the Internet for some Alien univers posters ho add to my colony walls. The best thing to search for was images from the Alien isolation video game 
A look at some Alien blueprints
Another video this time looking at the very useful blueprints book, a must for any fan but very handy for gamersDigging outvthe Aliens Adventure Game
The original rpg from 1991 by Leading Edge Games. Little video taking a look at this old system Playing the violent dark
Solo play of violent dark. My crew had to find and kill a specimen and bring back a sample
My crew included a synthetic, one officer a security agent and a specialist 
The morgue and operations were in darkness and my plan B mission was to enter the ops centre and repair a unit but I decided it was too far to go
The first port of call was a computer and with a successful interaction I uncovered one threat and removed it so I had less to deal with
The rest of the crew try and tackle the xenos
After a struggle a flame unit finally takes out a xeno
Grabbing the sample the crew head for the exit while the synthetic holds back the xenosWe don't leave our people behind
Some 3d prints by ravenx that fill in the gaps of colonial marine collections. Medics and the dead and dying. If you want to fill your table with body parts this is it. Nice for objective markers. I like the guy carrying his Wounded buddy to safety
Colonist conversions
Using the multi part blacksite studios prints I raided my bits box for dead man's hand western parts and wargames Atlantic. I wanted to create some pioneers and ranchers based on the original AvP comic so I could have a manager in a pith helmet 
Security team using cannon fodder bodies from wargames Atlantic Special weapon marines
A selection of 3D prints from Ravenx which adds some nice options of weapons beyond the usual pulse rifles. We getvtwo other types of machine gun that I recognise from the rpg along with rocket launcher and sniper.
I painted two squads today the first in traditional colours
The second I thought it would be interesting to do a desert camo scheme 3D printing Colonists
Black site studios have just released their game violent dark which is heavily alien influenced and with it a host of minis. Being based in the UK it's expensive yo get their minis but they have some great stl files. They do a multipart colonists kit which comes with lots of options from motion trackers, electric prods, lamps, flamers pistol and rifles. A great edition for anyone who wants to populate a colony bulld. I used the Alien isolation art book for inspiration for colours 
Ravenx do a nice working joe file in its charging station. I plan to print these again so I can represent empty stations and Joe's on the prowl 
Adapting Mars Code Aurora
Available from studio tomahawk, mars code aurora is a Sci fi skirmish game that is quite adaptable. It has numerous army lists you can tweak for your favourite force from in my case Aliens. Using the Equality faction list I ended up with this little force. The game operates with card activation and each model is individually moved.
Sll the marines had to do was escort a colonist off the board. Shame all those aliens got in the way
We did forget the burst rule allowing the marines more shots at close range but the use of orders allowed the aliens to activate more than one and break the marines line. The game relied heavily on an overwatch standby system creating kill corridors as soon as a critter emerged. This didn't stop the aliens wiping out the marines. 
Vac suits
3D prints from papsikels. Nostromo era vac suits. I went for some poppy colours because they were in the original film but due to lighting it's hard to notice
Reactor expansion
After I did a video on the reactor room for use with the classic board game Lv427-designs reached out to me when I mentioned that I felt the room was too inclosed. They are very good at listening to feedback and came back with a couple of large door designs to expand the use of the set
