I'm thoroughly confused by your asterisk. I'm referring to the plastic that many miniatures / board game companies use.

Hey guys there is still somebody alive in Prodos Space Crusade team, look, they just updated their cover photo today 7 February 2017 14:23 of their Facebook https://www.facebook.com/prodosgamesltd for a new Space Crusade illustration

it will be also the new box cover picture ( http://prodosgames.com/blog/space-crusade-major-update )
Their previous FB was from 20 September 2016!
They got 2 likes in less than 10 min so I'm not the only one peeping, I mean lurking at them
Glory to the Space Crusaders!

Still feel like Sedition Wars was largely a factor of people (both SMV and customers) not being used to PVC. And then for whatever bizarre reason (honestly can't remember what it was or if it sounded reasonable at the time), they rushed the 1.1/1.5/whatever rules reprint while there was still a lot of open testing etc. Either way, the rules eventually were pretty solid (and began stronger than a lot of other KS projects), but people were already pissed off.

All I know Sedition Wars is that my flat mate keeps leaving the packaging out, cluttering up my flat!

I'miei waiting for it too...

Prodos is a real company? wow.

WoW like World of Warcraft?
Look at their blog http://prodosgames.com/blog/space-crusade-major-update for
"Items graphics
In "Space Crusade" you will be able to pick up various items and artifacts and obvously - each one will be hand drawn picture. Preview of few is below."


Don't you thnik its a WoW graphic style?

Meanwhile, I have finished my own version of 3D board
http://prodosgames.com/community/space-crusade/1st-mission
using MB/GW rules with a more cyberpunk style cards

So one of the treasues is that the women actually get to put some clothes on?

Indeed. Actually to compensate I made an event to strip down respectively full armor clad Imperial or Chaotic Space Marine into a Space Crusader or Mara LOL

Space Crusade and the quest for the eternal clothes shop!

Yes, as mentioned in my previous posts, we had a tons of emails asking to make this game accessible for kids as well, So version PG13+ is the one that will have more armour plates (Heroes) and eventually same will go for every add-on model.



One more questions:

What Dakkadakkars think about his miniature , a future add-on for the SC game (or may be included in the main box as a free gift)

And Crusaders Hero reinforcement concepts

What became of the female android concept?

They've basically stopped talking about Space Crusade entirely at this point. :( They wont respond to inquiries on their community forum or through email. Prodos being Prodos I guess.

Have they refunded the pre-orders? Are they still taking pre-orders?

No. Yes. Shocking.

Whoa. This is the first time I've seen this game. The armor suits without chest and mid-section armor are hilarious. Are there boob-force fields emanating from their chests?

At Adepticon I was surprised to see the Prodos booth manned by only one guy on the Friday. How did they ever acquire the Aliens/Predator and WarZone licenses?

As to the name Space Crusade, it seems like it might be trademarked but could be untrademarkeable due to the descriptiveness scale. It would be safe to avoid the name altogether regardless considering how protective GW is with its IP.

Hey, I got a sorta response!

"yes game is in develpment and wil hit the shelvs anytime soon.

AvP 2nd editon is ready for order, more compact.

Some more models will be issued for SC after game release."

Speaking of Prodos...I'm still secretly in belief that Kevin Siembeda from Robotech RPG Tactics is going to hook up with Prodos for the never-going-to-appear 2nd wave of Robotech products...and there will be a kind of black hole created in the world and that will be it. A singularity which will wipe mankind from existence.

I just ordered a whole bunch of Prodos' stuff!

From an indy retailer.
From their clearance section.

That's still legit, right?

Only an iota of the money goes towards them now, so shaaaaaaame! Shaaaaaaaaaame!

How does a company as terrible as Prodos get so many great licences?

Unlike copyrights, trademarks do expire if unused. GW has not made a product called Heroes Quest, Space Crusade or Oy Dats Me Leg in over 25 years.

Now in the end GW can still try and defend their trademarks in which case one must ask if it's worth the trouble and expense. And honestly I don't know enough about trademark law to predict who would have the stronger claim.

Maybe is not a terrible as you think.

It's a bit hard to look past how they are treating their customers these days.

Trademarks last for 10 year periods before renewal. A quick search on the UKIPO shows that Hasbro owned the mark until it was allowed to lapse in 1996. Protos registered it in 2015 (as well as Space Crusaders).

Also the rules for descriptiveness would not apply here, as the mark isn't strictly describing the product (which are models).

Care to share the name? Since the indy guy already bough them...its worth helping him out right?

Yeah, we need details Azazelx. For scientific research purposes only.

I really liked my big Space Crusade demon too. I wish they'd at least release a few more models into distribution for their vaporware game though.

So this got emailed out from Ninja Division:

"Garden City, ID (May 22, 2017)

Ninja Division Publishing is pleased to announce that Prodos Games will now be handling all trade and direct sales of their products Aliens v Predator: The Hunt Begins 2nd Edition and LOAD throughout North America. These, and other Prodos games can now be found at www.prodosgames.com/games.

Err, what?

Edit: Ah, NM. I wasn't aware ND was associated with the AVP product at all. Looks like they're just washing their hands of Prodos entirely.

Ninja DIvision associated with Prodos?!
Great!
This means that the http://sodapopminiatures.com/soda-pop-girls/ like Marie-Claude Bourbonnais

will be soon able to promote SC like Relic Knight
http://si-animation.com/mcboutique/mcb_boutique/image/cache/data/Prints/500%20X%20500%20Candy-900x900.jpg
or Super Dungeon Explore
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DAsgZzYXYAEjYBy.jpg

They were associated for a while, that statement actually says ND will NOT be handling those products any more.

Too bad, I would love a not MC for Warzone

So I saw that Prodos were at the UK Games Expo at the weekend. I walked past their stand a few times on Saturday, their rather large and relatively extravagant stand.

I've got to say, I was rather confused, I didn't see, or smell, a single rotten egg that had been thrown at them. Not a single sign of one.

Are Prodos actually starting to act like a legitimate company, now?
