The Yautja have landed!

Been mostly doing work on the buildings spent an evening gingerly filing off some of the markings from the tops of the buildings and then another starting a small Yautja shuttle/space ship. (Yautja being the proper name for Predator Species).

The body comes from an old computer mouse you may of seen these before as they where going to be a two man grav vehicle for my spy fi stuff that never got finished. I may dismantle the second one and do it up as a second vehicle being as I have quite a few Yautja that will need a ride. Its needs some more detailing at the moment its not based as I will paint it up and do that after it will sort of be tilting forward slightly. The stones will be sort of sensors but they'll be painted over as well. The wings at the rear have come from the packaging that come with most kids toys I've filed them down then pinned them to the body.

The back and the part where the buttons join in the middle need finishing off as there is a hole where there wheel button was and I'm in two minds whether to add some sort of burner/thruster to the back of it.

Also my package from Finland arrived on Friday with some more figures for this project. I already had the 3 single vacation Aliens (Yautja) from Khurasan but wanted to add in some Khurasan Huntarr (More Yautja) to increase the numbers and so I could play some games where I have Yautja Hunters trying to capture an Alien Queen for egg laying purposes.

There are four packs of Huntarr which strangely have disappeared of the Khursan site recently so I was a bit disappointed but a random browse of the Lead Adventure Forum's bazaar I spotted a pack of each for sale! Huzzah!

I can't tell you what the specific packs are called one is obviously a leader pack and one they heavy plasma burners and there are two packs here that have the typical Yautja weapons and one pack with the retractable spears and one of just wrist blades. These all come with the shoulder burners as well which need glueing on. As a bonus I have recieved 9 spear armed Yautja instead of 8 so happy days. Most of these all have 2 of each sculpt per pack apart from the heavy burner pack which you get 3. I plan on converting some anyhow. I quite fancy having some discs, net launchers and perhaps a whip theres quite a variety of weapons in the various movies. 

The Pack of Leader's

The Wrist blade armed pack.

Spear and wrist blade armed pack 9 figures with 5 individual sculpts

The Shoulder burners for the two packs above.

The boys with the heavy artillery. These will be Blooded Warriors that usually over see hunting parts and carry the heavy weapons.

This next pic is what I intend to make the Yautja  Hounds from the Predators movie from they are going to need a bit of putty work mainly to add spines I intend on adding around 5 spines to each one to give the impression of the movie ones. They are wearing sort of body armour which I don't mind as again there's a large variety with equipment. These originally come from Micro Panzer a Vaethaka Hound unit. These where bought from the same guy who I got the Huntarr from so it was like it was meant to be as I'd earmarked these a year ago for the role! The main thing that held me back was the overseas shipping and only wanting this single pack which in my mind pushes the cost up of the figures.
