Just had a thought: we have an article introducing aliens from the Aliens movie to the SF setting so why not a Bugs conversion from Star ship Troopers. <br /><br />Might be a great excuse to locate the unfinished models I have of them and finish that. (one flamer and some warriors IIRC)<br /><br />For the brain bug I'm down with mentalist powers. <br /><br />The flame bomb bug- can either make it the giant category that already exist in the AD game or poach ideas from the titan discussion though my leaning is simply to slot it into the standard AD rules I believe that the Giant creature size stated in the rules matches its size.<br /><br />Warrior bugs would rate as large<br /><br />flyers as medium to large I believe<br /><br />the scarabes that carry the brain as medium but not combatant.<br /><br />oh yeah forgot the big artillery bugs that shoot plasma farts out their arse into space- giant but vullnerable to ground troops.<br /><br />Also think we need a planet tary brief. Does anyone know if these bugs can planetary hop? I never got why they attacked earth and that earth had to go their and waste a lot of good men to kill them. Sure they sent the plasma farts through space at earth which was ridiculous but if they cant planet hop then what danger do they really pose? <br /><br />My leaning is that discovery of bug planet is by a ship misjumping and bad stuff ensues, Space Fleet sends rescue vessel and more bad stuff ensues, a task group responds to emergency calls and more bad stuff ensues, Politicians are paid by mega corps to wave the bloody flag and "we must teach these bugs a lesson to make the planet safe for mega corp exploitation" and more bad stuff ensues when ground fleet units land, discoveries are made and corporations line up to exploit and send in mercenaries and more bad stuff ensues.
