OK, I'll bite...

What are they supposed to look like?

If you look in the OP and through the thread, there've already been a few colonial marine teasers.

And on top of that, there's this:

Cheers Alpharius
Was hoping for sqwishable civvies too, like from AVP2.
Will need to get the rules & see if I can intro some Hasselfree zombie fighter minis.
Those preds look awesome - the best I've seen.
Need this game!!

I want some marines so badly now..

Really want to start this game now (and kinda hope it is not KS) I hope they do more marine stuff and keep them as the same pace as the preds and the Ailens..

Wow this game looks very sharp.

There would be Colonial marines... my poor wallet hasn't recovered from the last KS yet...

...Oh god. This is going to be worse than your X-Wing addiction, isn't it?

Hey wallet, look into my eye;









Seriously, this looks fantastic----scale looks perfect and love the predator activating his arm console.

MajorTom.. not going to be happy until you produce a scale replica of the inside of the Sulaco, in order to re-create the final scene of Aliens

This is why we can't have nice things you know...

Or nice feet at least, apparently!

I am amused that we're bashing GW's models and not some of Mantic's stuff

its probably because mantic doesnt seem to be anywhere near as arrogant as GW.

Before the KOW KS, I'd have agreed with you. The more common sense reason is that the AVP figs are compared with a GW fig in the picture. I'm sure if they put a gorilla hands

i heard "gorilla hands"!

I hope this is not a kickstarter and makes general release. If its a KS i`ll need to wait before its officially out as i`d rather keep my money guaranteed than taking a chance

I hope it is a KS as with the funds they raise from it they can make the box set better, fund more tooling for more miniatures, more of a deal for backers which will also make people on the fence buy in and take the financial responsibility away from them by getting the buyers to vote with there wallets!

Wow. Those look great.

Does anyone know the street date of ANY of Prodos' products? I want to hear user reviews of their plastic/resin.

From earlier in this very thread:

and yes if I have the money when this launches I'm impressed enough to be in

Wow those look good! I have a 100+ Cadian infantry I want to trade in now. Of course, the aliens draw my attention as I eagerly wait for the new nids codex. Lol

This is (apparently) what the alien foot should look like



and this is the leg (and foot) of the Alien Queen from Aliens

In the immortal words of Glen Quagmire.

Giggity.

Just found out about this but I AM SOLD!!!

My first thoughts when I saw this were;

"OH SWEET JESUS YES OH GAK YES HOW UTTERLY PURE!"

Now that I see the Alien sculpts are based off the terri-bad Alien 4 and AVP designs, I've really got not interest in picking this up. The Xenomorph's look terrible, nothing compared to the designs of Giger or Cameron.



God if they'd made these in 28mm form I'd of sold my kidneys to fund the Kickstarter.

These are really nice.

But I wonder if we're reaching the point where the limiting factor in miniature design, but the ability of the medium to carry the details we're now able to load up on these minis now that they're being designed by computer.

I really want to see how these minis look close up. They are very good as they are, but the test to see whether they are phenomenal or just "very good" will be how well final production pieces carry the ultra-fine details it looks like they're trying to put on these. I can easily imagine the Predators' mesh clothing to basically disappear.

Not that even if they do find a way to make the detail carry through to the final product, most of us will be able to paint it....

I some what agree. The predators and marines are great but the aliens leave a little bit to desire. I will give them the benefit of the doubt and hope they release aliens spanning all the movies.

They are labelled infant warrior (the standing xenomorph) which would explain the smooth head and stalker which is a form of runner xenomorph they will probably reveal adult warriors which have the ridged heads (the ridges develop later as they age) later on I,d say there will be a few classes of xenomorph in this.

Just take my paycheck... awesome!

See, what we have here is a snap judgement based on little information. Personally, I'm quite excited by this, and really quite like what I've seen so far, but I'm certainly not so totally committed that I'll buy this regardless, neither am I "out"

Let's just see how this pans out a little huh?

I can confirm ;]

Thanks for the confirmation

Can you confirm a Kickstarter or straight to retail?

That sounds a lot better, as those aliens look a little weedy right now.

@Alph - Typically in the original design the feet were human-like with small toes and a jutting bone spur off the back of the ankle. I would have even accepted the 4 toe version of similar symetry to the hands. The 3 toe thing has no continuity with the rest of the design... just seems like a lazy mistake.

*Caveat - Like I said, I acknowledge it's a picky comment nearly to the point of pointlessness for 95% of the audience. Like I said, I am a bit psycho for Aliens of the Giger and Winston/Cameron varieties.

All in all though I will not be picking this up, I just don't have a whole lot of passion for new stuff at the moment, my 40k love is at a very low point... x-wing was a fun and quick project and the only game I actually play, that being said I haven't played in like 3 months now or something.

Plus at the end of the day I already scratched this itch with Space Hulk

That being said, the models do look pretty nice despite my foot fetish. My concern would be lack of variety, as the unit options are pretty limited all told. However, if they scale it right, and get the core gameplay for a short, compact and simple game going they should do ok!

It's almost sad to admit that the fervor for this would have been higher if the last 5 movies in the respective universes had simply not happened lol... Like Terminator, StarWars and Matrix, I can't help but be a bit bitter about what happened after the initial classics lol!
