Well, my CHAS showed up in the mail, so now I'm planning out a diorama setup that'll have the CHAS firing all weapons on an onrushing horde of bugs, with explosions, bug bodyparts, and debris littering the scene. I'd like to do some "still frame" explosions like those in the Halo3 "Believe"...

So? There's a licensed miniatures game for Star Wars, and that has a very well-defined set of canon. Likewise, there's one for Aliens vs Predator.

Well, I'm planning to do it pretty much in yellow, with black markings similar to how they're done on regular Warriors, and red eyes. Pretty much... color-reversed Warriors. I might fire up the PC FPS demo and see how they did it, because theirs might be a little different. I've got a CHAS...

Wait, why isn't the PC game canon? It's got all kinds of stuff from the movie, and even several bugs from the CGI series, as I understand it. (I hope I'm not opening a huge can of worms by asking this :p)

Well, I know they show up in the first-person-shooter game. I shot a few up in the demo I played several months ago. :p

I just finished priming a sprue of Warrior Bugs in white, and then painting them all yellow, but I realized that I've got no idea what the Tiger Warrior markings are supposed to look like. Google image searches are kinda coming up dry, so I was wondering if any of you folks had any Tiger Warrior...

Well, I got my second box of Warriors in the mail, although I'm still working on the first box. :p The final 4 in the first box are almost done being painted. I also ordered up a CHAS unit off of eBay for about $15 shipped, because I just re-watched the CHAS episode of the CGI series and he was...

Well, I just went ahead and bought up another box of Arachnid Warriors off of eBay for $13 and free shipping. My plan is to finish off my current box of six and make them into "regular" Warriors just so I get a good feel for painting and assembling them, and then the second box will have the...

I'd be very interested in your top jaws and stuff. :)

Haha, those are awesome. Any tips for how to "damaged" them, or the colors you used for the bug blood? Thanks in advance. :)

Oh, another question I thought up: Any tips for making "battle-damaged" bugs? I'm tempted to make either a bug that's been all shot to hell but still (barely) standing and all pissed off, or one that's pretty much dead on the ground with limbs blown off. Does anyone have pictures of models done...

Alrighty, thanks for the tips. I'll keep that stuff in mind when I'm working on the next pair of Warriors. I'm still trying to decide how I want to handle my Tiger bugs; I figure I can spend the money on a can of yellow spraypaint just for two models (sort of a waste of my money), maybe...

Holy crap that's a good idea. The problem is, then I only get one Warrior per sprue, since I'm using both upper jaws for one Warrior. :( A couple other questions on Warrior construction: 1. Are the two halves of the lower body (the part that the legs sit in) supposed to mesh together? I put...

I'm sort of on the fence on a Tanker bug because I loved how they looked in the movie, but the model looks, well, different. It's been a long time since I watched the CGI series (although I've got a copy of it on DVD coming in the mail from Amazon.com right now :D) so I can't remember if the...

Well, I got my first Warrior off the sprue without incident, and I've got the upper body assembled and half of the legs attached to the lower half of the lower body. I need to get more superglue, though, so I'll get some tomorrow along with some yellow spraypaint for the Tigers. I'd love to...
