What about aliens in FF?

[robur]

I was wandering about a alien scenario for FF, something like an alien team that has to kidnap some innocent civilians and some "good people" (fbi? mib? police? teenager alien hunter?) trying to stop them.

What do you think about? What profiles can have the aliens?

hi
Are your aliens going to be Greys , Little Green Men ? Strange Alien Drones or something scarier?
If they are abducting humans Transfix or Entangle would be a must

The Greys have my favor for now.

I was in doubt if giving them weapons such as assault rifle, or give them just special rules.

Agree for entangle, thanks!

Here's a sample GREY
Q4 C1 60pts
Entangle Short Move Teleport Transform Machine Pistol (maybe Minion)

Q 4 is about average if you want them Q3 its 80ts
C1 They are little guys ,scrawny looking ,not great in H-T-H but have superior technology

SHORT MOVE ,
they are little guys can't move fast.
TELEPORT,
high tech gizmo beams therm around the board and back to the mothership.
Entangle
A device used for capturing human specemins and taking them back
Machine pistol
A ray gun that has the characteristics of the machine pistol but much smaller
Transform
These Greys use some device to make them look like kids at long range ,but at medium they can be spotted (use an spotters activation characteristic to roll to see if they see the alien or a strange kid ) At close range it doesnt work and the TRANSFORMATION power is used to represent their strange alien look , the big glowing eyes etc.

Minions
This is an option to use cheap mind controlled/converted humans or maybe animals to help the aliens integrate and find their prey.

An alternative would be to give them the witch power that way they can transfix use ranged attacks as alien ray gun and have familiars which could be flying alien cybernetic devices with the stats of the raven familiar

How about this for the Greys...

Grey Alien Superior
Pts: 70 Quality: 3+ Combat: 1
Special Rules: Alien Probe; Leader; Short Move; Stealth; Teleport

Grey Alien Insurgent
Pts: 40 Quality: 3+ Combat: 1
Special Rules: Alien Probe; Short Move; Stealth; Teleport

The of course you'll need to know what a probe does...

Alien Probe [+5pts]
This model is armed with a nasty alien probe. This weapon adds +1 to combat rolls and can be used in hand-to-hand or at a Short range (this cannot be doubled or tripled). In addition, when a model armed with an alien probe scores a kill (or gruesome kill) result against a living target, all friendly models, armed with alien probes, gain a +1 bonus to combat rolls against that type of creature until the end of the battle. This bonus is not cumulative.

Enjoy! ;D

If you want to give them weapons ,say they are ray guns or whatever and give it the stats of an assault rifle or smg or whatever you want.

Thanks to all but I don't want to put new rules.

I suggested teleport to give the greys some mobility so they dont get pinned down by the MIB and with a Combat of 1 they will be weak compared to the Mib, Feds or Cops.

Perhaps limit the teleport to two uses or have it work every other turn
If its just two use then allow the greys to teleort onto the board at any point , giving them an element of surprise and the second use teleport out with the captured humans
Or Perhaps you can have a fixed area on the board where the greys teleport in and out from .
