Alternative Armies - 15mm Laserburn Aliens

Alternative Armies is a great place for some Old School miniatures for skirmish games.   I painted these guys ages ago, aliens from the Laserburn range.  These are 40 year old miniatures.  I think they still hold up well.

First up, the Mrurz.  These guys are obviously a take on the Kzinti.  Large cat-like warriors...what's not to love.  Sadly there are only 3 sculpts, a leader, warrior and a special weapon.  I plan on doing more of these guys though.  They make great "Feral" in Clash on the Fringe.

Second, the Thulg, large lizard like aliens.  These guys are big.  Bigger than the Khurasan Garn actually.  Again, there are only 3 sculpts, one of which is a power armor leader.  Asia these guys need that.

The Vroof are strange beings, large aliens with vestigial wings.  There are only 2 sculpts.

The Giant Snave is a large cyborg giant.  No clue what is underneath all that gear.

Finally, the Giant Kron, a large giant of a alien.  Armed with a large energy cannon, he obviously means business.

There are more that I have not photographed, the Space Demons, Froog, Szithk and the Shantek.  Perhaps another day.  

Anyway, all of these are great for skirmish games like Clash on the Fringe, Rogue Scout and Five Parsecs from Home.  They fit perfectly for those who want some nostalgia on their table.
