Whoops, never mind. From website that was the focus of the original thread I answered my own question: "The FreiKorp Aliens are big 15mm, and work equally well as opponents for 25mm troops." Thanks to everyone who WOULD had answered! *grin* > On Monday 15 September 2003 9:46 am, FlakMagnet72 wrote:

From website that was the focus of the original No problem - I take it you saw the photo on the new Gallery page of GZG 25mm & 15mm figures posing with a FreiKorp bug? I haven't watched any of the Aliens movies in a while, but I recall them as smaller than humans, while in 15mm the FreiKorp critters are a fair bit taller than a human. So they might work better as 25mm targets! Brian http://wind.prohosting.com/~warbard/games.html > On Monday 15 September 2003 9:46 am, FlakMagnet72 wrote:

However, they often had really bad posture, and when slinking might be seen as shorter. The_Beast

In the first "Alien" movie, the alien was huge compared to humans... > From what I've read, I seem to recall that the Xenomorphs grow larger cousins in larger hives. When a book has bothered to mention the Aliens' heights at all, 8 feet is the height usually mentioned. > On Monday 15 September 2003 12:58 pm, Brian Burger wrote: Yup, sure did. > I haven't watched any of the Aliens movies in a while, but I recall They're certainly big enough for dual use, though at 8 feet, I don't think they're out of scale.
