Prodos Games ill fated AvP “Alien vs Predator - The Hunt Begins” Kickstarter finally delivers the pledges.
I pledged and got really frustrated over the years, at some moments I was really angry. But in the end Prodos delivered a superb product. Incredible well proportioned minis in a very user friendly resin (glues like a charm with super glue, nearly indestructible and still keeps the shape).
Even the game rules makes a good impression, not to mention the game components! So after receiving the game 3 days ago I started with some Alien stalkers to try some speed painting techniques, both minis are finished under 25 Mins. Priming, dry brushing and inking, after that a glossy varnish - done.
The bases are 30mm MDF since I still really DISLIKE all round lipped bases...
More to come...
And as always more pics on my site: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/avp.html

Sick! Love the franchise (and predator mostly!). Excellent stuff.

Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless and perfunctory gift nobody ever asked for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down because there's nothing left to drink. Sure once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or a English toffee, but they're gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits of hardened jelly and teeth shattering nuts. If you're desperate enough to eat those all you've got left is a. An empty box, filled with useless brown paper wrappers. |

Well after saying that the minis need around 25 Mins each I really went to town and finished 8 more this week. So two 5 Alien stalker "squads" are finished.
I primed it with FoW British Armour (Desert), after that just a hint of white primer on top.
Then a Citadel Reikland Fleshshade and some Agrax Earthshade here and there.
After drying a very light drybrush in white, then Enamel glossy clear.
The black Aliens are even simpler, black primer, boltgun brushwork, nuln oil wash, very light drybrush in silver, glossy varnish.
And a detail shot to show just how good the minis are sculpted and cast...
(Normally I am not showing minis that close...)

wow. great work. If you were going to start over would you use silver again on the black aliens? Also did you make those bases? I don't like the lipped bases either!

Thanks.
Yes - bolt gun metal again! Works fine for me.
The bases are 3cm MDF bases from http://war-bases.co.uk/
The material on top is stuff from my bits box on sand and milliput.

The Alien I “Infant” is painted. Also the first Colonial Marine.
The 5 “Infants” received the same simple paint treatment as the black Stalkers above. So again black primer, boltgun brushwork, nuln oil wash, very light drybrush in silver. Only difference, before the glossy varnish I gave the minis a thinned layer of Citadels Guilliman Blue Glaze.
The Marine took longer to paint. The mini is again a wonderful sculpt, very realistic proportioned and full of detail.
More - including a detail pic of the Infant - as always on my website:

I was again busy last week.
Another batch of Infant Aliens:
I could not resist and make one stand out, the famous “grid” Alien from the AvP movie.
Grid was a smooth-domed Xenomorph Drone spawned during the ill-fated Weyland Expedition to Bouvetøya. Grid was responsible for killing the Predator Scar's brothers and clanmates Chopper and Celtic, and was able to escape being shot by Scar's plasma caster attacks.
KS exclusive female Predator - again a very good sculpt, IMO a bit thin for a bulky Pred, so I decided to make her look even more gaunt, ripped abs and all.
And while at it I also repainted an old HororClix Predator! Fits good sizewise:
and as always more on my site:

One might conclude you're a fan of that abomination of a movie.
Good work on the colonial marine don't forget to add some graffiti to his armor or helmet!

The so called Warrior Aliens - detail picture below, the minis are as good as the Infant sculpts!
And a comparison shot with a current GW Genestealer. Amazing how undetailed the GW plastic looks!

I started painting the big Aliens, 1st is the Alien Queen from Alien II.
And after receiving countless questions how I painted them all so fast, I also included a small pictured tutorial.

5 more Warriors and ...
the Alien Royal Guard, a creature from the expanded background. Similar size as the Queen mini, so some additional effort was a good idea.
I painted the mini more or less identical as the Warriors, the drybrush and highlights were just applied with that extra bit of care suitable for such an extraordinary mini.
A group shot together with this weeks Warriors.

I finally finished two more Marines, the Smart gunner and the Medic.
The Smart gunner is simply assembled and painted as the Assault Rifle Marine below. The “Fever” decal is from an old Gear Krieg US walker, the skull is from the master of all things skullish, GW!
The Medic looked somehow a bit female to me. The arms are a bit thinner. By sheer accident I stumbled over the female Marine conversion by Freefallrlc ( http://prodosgames.com/community/alien-vs-predator/female-marine) and really liked it. And since I also had some Statuesque female heads around, I converted the mini also. The spare helmet was attached to the belt.
more as always on my website: http://www.adpublishing.de/html/avp.html
And BTW - I also started work on the WY Commandos and I was just BLOWN away by the sheer casting quality.
Just check out the ring on the chest armour. I just could not believe it, the mini is a two part casting, body is one piece and the arms and flame-thrower is the other piece!
Prodos still managed to cast that quality on a one piece body. They may have mishandled the KS, but their minis are simply some of the best around!

OK, I got distracted by Trek, but the first Wayland Yutani Commando is also finished!
Another incredible good sculpt for AvP. It is based on the look of the WYCs from the game Aliens: Colonial Marines. -> http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Weyland-Yutani_PMC
Consequently I tried to do the pic justice with the colors I chose...
