Do you want other weapons than just the Smart Gun? I.e. flame-thrower, shotgun, pistol, etc. Also, if the alien head is a spawn point, what about an open egg? Or some alien covered ground?

No, the Alien head is not a spawn point, the red cross is. And it's not a spawn point in the sense that Aliens hatch there but that Aliens enter the game area at such points (from other sections, through the roof etc). For hatching Facehuggers there are Egg Clutches (miniatures, not tokens). The Alien head is just a marker for the Alien tactic.
If you really want to spend more time for this, you can make tokens for the following weapons: Smart Gun, Flame Thrower, Pulse Rifle, Grenade Launcher (attached to Pulse Rilfe), Hand Grenades. Pistols don't need one because they have unlimited ammo (doesn't matter much because they suck) and the Shotgun isn't included (it's not a standard weapon).
More details when I have finished the Miniatures and translated the rules from German to English (I plan a simultaneous release in both languages). Don't hold your breath though, I still need some time.
If only just read this sector idea Schnar, but it is really cool! A defending scenario, what a different flavour to what we are used to! I think the dodge idea will be just right, but playtesting will show that.
Carry on...

Just trying to assist with my comment. I like your work.
But Hicks had a shotgun!!!

Redsimon, is this what you're looking for?
if it's looking right, I can move on to the other images...
-shnar
Yes, it's fine.

True. But this game will take part after the movie with other Marines. Marines who know they are facing Aliens.
Well, if Hicks /had/ a shotgun, doesn't that mean it's standard issue to some?
So refresh my memory, what other images do you need? Just alien-ized Dodge/Guard/Aim orders?

It's not really clear in the movie if the shotgun is a weapon of the Marines. For me it was always obvious it's Hicks' private property, both a good luck charm and a weapon.
Yes, I need those orders and also a spawn point token (red X on metal floor).
EDIT:
And an image like the one with the alien you posted (blue background), but with a marine silhouette instead of the alien silhouette.
@ shnar: For some reason I cannot send you a PM (error message). So I ask you here if you have completed the missing pictures for my Doom "Aliens" mod?
Here's the X:
I'm having a hard time with the Order tokens though, can find anything good to represent Aim/Dodge/Guard
-shnar
Simple symbols are enough.
