The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

 Post subject: USCM miniature conversion set help?

A few months ago some set of model figure torso parts from some website were mentioned on this forum I'm sure... Anyway, they were about the same scale as warhammer 40k figs and looked strikingly similar to a USCM body armour piece for something labelled as 'space marine armour set' or something similar. If anyone has any idea what I'm on about then that would be great, just to know that im not going nuts or anything.
I think I remember them coming as a pack of eight resin parts qnd costing about $25 if that helps.
Thanks

I think it was these guys, the mid-tech assault team are suspiciously Colonial Marine-y :http://www.denizenminiatures.co.uk/ if you look through their gallery you should find pics of them

Ja! their 'not-whoever' minis are some of my favourites, i've got a whoooole bunch. Great sculpting too :D Their motoko from ghost in the shell and their Shaun from shaun of the dead are some of the nicest minis i've ever worked on. :P

Cadian parts (with some modification/added plates if you're up to it), or even catachan command squad arms with sleeves sculpted on above the bicep, then the Madrobot torsos/heads, and hasslefree pulse rifles, seem the way to go for multipart marines :D

Now i just have to get a squad thrown together, and have a go of Imp Guard Space Hulk with them. ;D
