Does anyone know what postage times for the KS are to the UK?

I'm currently on 10 days and counting since the shipping notice.

Still can't believe that it is actually on its way.. like a dream..

I'd give it another few days...

Hello my Dear Fellowes ^^

Here is a little review about the Wave 2 that I have in my pledge... Brought to me by a friend of mine at Crisis (Belgium) :


http://letempledemorikun.blogspot.fr/2015/11/early-backer-jai-enfin-recu-la-vague-2.html

The minis are really awesome et very well detailed !!

For the predalien and pred tiles missing, I've emailed JArek and Michal... one more time...

I hope you'll receive your pledge very soon... It takes too much time !!!

Serviteur,

Morikun

Thanks for the review, morikun.
I was planning to do some reviews and guides on the oficial prodos forum, but got too frustrated because they don't enable new accounts. I am trying to get access to the prodos forum (i.e. The AvP section), and wrote countless emails to michal, jared and the general service and help mail adresses, but never received any response.
I could at least showcase my finished queen and cruscher, and my custom milliput-bases (i am the low-cost hobbyist type ;-))

That is a fantastically painted miniature.

Love the background with the smashed up pieces of equipment, fits very well!

Thanks. The background is the battlesystems scifi-terrain which was already mentioned in a previous post as alternative to the boardgame tiles.It's a lot of fun playing AvP with this 3D terrain.

As the Kinks sang:

I'm so tired, Tired of waiting, Tired of waiting for you...

And here is the Alien Crusher. "If it bleeds, we can kill it." ;-)
(the lights make it look kinda odd; I'll try to make a better shot tomorrow, with actual daylight)

Thanks for the review, morikun.

My pleasure my Dear Shadowtyrant ^^

Why am I not surprised ? I must write Michal 3 times (in the 3rd mail I recalled him that I was in the french translate team to put his light on) before getting my confirmation... I could tell you "keep going on dude"... But when I see that they don't put even an eye on the bad comments on the official FB page, they really don't mind having good comments on a forum they obviously gave up since decades...

I could at least showcase my finished queen and cruscher, and my custom milliput-bases (i am the low-cost hobbyist type ;-))

This is exactly my way of hobbyist life !!! It's more intersting according to me... Personnally I really love the Oyumaru stuff (I pledged for 2 battle systems strongolds with lot of medical and alien walls in the view to play with AVP minis... When you are very lucky to get all, it's very cool indeed)


Your Queen Alien and your Crusher are very very fantastic !! Can you give me your Queen Alien blue scheme recipe please ? I'm very curious !! Have you got a blog ?

Thank you very much,

Serviteur,

With the aliens, I always thought that if it bleeds it kills you!

Fantastic job again though! I like the more browny colour, gives it an 'iron' look and makes you think it probably weighs a lot!

I do love the Battlesystems terrain and have thought about creating a big board setup a number of times, could use it for this and Infinity (any number of games actually!)
Do the AvP rules work on anything other than the official tiles do you know?

@ Pacific : Hum, I really don't know but I think you could adapt it... On the other side, there is a possibility to play like a wargame... AFAIC, I'll use the AVP minis to play at In Her Majesty's Name : My Imperial Japanese Army will meet very soon the xenomorphs and the predators far far away in the Amazonia Jungle ^^


@ prodos/jarek/warzone/other... : Come on !! Would you be kind enough to give us some explanations ? Or must we understand that your "hey, we will speak to each other truly" behaviour was only to avoid some berserker punches in your face at Crisis ?

No answer about my missing minis you forgot to give at Crisis, nothing on your forum (without granting access to new subscribers like Shadowtyrant), nothing on your blog (since october 8th), nothing (aka no answer to the 89 angry posts) on your FB page... Excuse me but it deserves a stand ovation !!!

What would be the excuse this time ? The stairs are late ? Locust invasion ? Obiwan Kenobi ? 42 ?

Please, let us know

Everyone is in the same boat .

At least you have something to show for it lots of us haven't.

At least you have something to show for it lots of us haven't.

Absolutely right. That's why I wrote few post ago here and many times in french there that I'll not complain a lot due to the fact that many other backers didn't received anything...

But I represent some french backers who are still waiting without information, no answer from prodos and don't speak english.

A user told me one day that HeroQuest 25th project was the worst of all... I answered that AVP was even worst : for HQ, we don't know anything but for AVP, we know that minis are ready... but not for backers

And I never changed my opinion.

I have a feeling that the November 2nd shipping emails some of us received were untrue. Been 21 days and nothing has shown. There was a guy on the FB page that received an assurance from Jarek that his stuff would be shipped after giving Jarek quite a bit of grief. He received a notification on the 19th his order was shipped and received his box in the US today. So 4 days from Poland to the US. I'm at 21 days. So I have to guess the emails on the 2nd were just that. An email. And nothing was actually shipped.






Soon.

I'm pretty sure that despite multiple checks, we'll all have see our kickstarter aliases instead of our real names....
And as for avoiding 3 waves of shipping, they seem to also avoiding 2.

Has the origianl backers all got their stuff now? I see new minis coming out, and was wondering if anyone was left behind....

I have not gotten a fething thing.

Wow... had to close my pledge AGAIN....
I suppose thats their excuse for not shipping. Pretty crooked to keep opening it to use as an excuse IMO.

ROTFLMAO.

Its getting cold outside, but I doubt its gone far enough to freeze hell!

Just incase anybody is keeping a tally, add me to the 'have received diddly-squat' column.

If Big Jim's post from a couple of pages back is anything to go by, there are over 300 accounts in the pledge manager that haven't received anything.

At the moment Prodos haven't so much left somebody behind, as lost an entire troop transporter. Probably known as the Good Ship Farcical.

In France, about 10 backers (to be very optimistic) have received their boxes...

About 2 of them get their 2nd wave add-ons...

Voilà voilà...

Yes, I have received absolutely nothing to date, and have not heard back ONCE from my emails to Prodos! Does anyone know a more direct channel to contact them than their "Customer Service" email (service@prodos.co.uk)?

This is Michal's email:

michal.pawlaczyk@prodos.co.uk

Just because I haven't recieved a reply from it, or their customer service one, doesn't mean that you won't... it probably does, but not definitely...

Yep nothing for me ether .

Original backer here (UK), just confirming I've received diddly squat.

Ok so they say its 6inch long . That would make the apc around 1:56th scale ie 28mm ish so we may have a usable apc coming out soon .

Would be nice to have some marines to go with it


Real apc was 28ft long if 28mm = 6ft this one should between 26 and 28ft

The Khurasan 'Caiman' works well for 28mm:



They also have it in 15mm, as well as Marines, Hive Warriors and Alien Hunters. Can get enough 15mm figures to easily play any AvP scenario you want really.

I'm thinking when my Prodos crap eventually shows up (see, I can be optimistic!) I am going to sell it off and use different rules and go the 15mm route at this point.
