Aliens triggering these mines will be splattered with a quick-freezing liquid agent. Not cold enough to stop the lifeform entirely, the cold causes alien core temperatures to drastically decrease. Immensely reducing metabolism rates for 5-7 seconds. (Reduces energy regen to 0). -Mines trigger instantly and apply to all aliens in a small radius.
Lets marines defend singular locations (bases/strongholds/chokepoints) from fades, without introducing any nerfs, or overwhelming counter mechanics. Leaving fades to prey on silly marines that run off alone (as they should) while encouraging more thought before attacking groups of marines. The energy Regen-prevention is also a soft counter, encouraging teamwork and intelligent placement to actively deter fades from attacking marine strongholds alone, while allowing skilled fades to work around the mechanic and compensate when necessary.

flamers and shotgun tear down any fade
besides, fades are so fast that they are long gone when any mine goes off...
saw plenty of fades clear a base of mines without taking a scratch

AND YOU CALL YOURSELF SOLDIERS?!
UNTANGLE YOUR PANTYS AND MAN UP, PRINCESS!
<b>THIS IS AN ORDER!</b>
...somehow, images are broken here...
I say nice idea to the OP, just need to figure out how to implement it properly.
Although it would be interesting I see the mines knock fades out of blink
