Would of been nice if it was something more in the vein of John of Arc/Sisters of battle/Saber, with a sort of female night vibe. The chain mail bikini look is prety uninspired at best, and cringe worthy at worst. I feel these hit both thows marks.
They look like charaters from a bad Heavy Metal Comic, trying to rip off 40k.

Edit:
Are they fighting Chaos Space Whores on the box art cover? Way to double dip on the cringe.

I'm not sure what to make of the fact that they chose a Nurgle aesthetic over Slaanesh for the Chaos Space Whores

I think what this new version of Space Crusade really needs is more exposure. With the right distribution partner, Prodos could get copies of Space Crusade in toy stores, even adverts for it on TV! Just think, it will be the gateway for kids to get immersed in the rich universe behind Space Crusade and be hooked on the greater Prodos hobby. A partner like, say... Milton Bradley?

More likely a porn site......
Actually are we missing it and this Game is a game about a porn parody of classic space crusade?

The saddest thing about these is that could have been great if PG hadn't felt the need to cheesecake the feth out of them. The mechanical parts of the Not-SM bikes, Terminators and Dreadnaught all look quite excellent, and better than GW's ageing efforts IMO.

I think one of the more annoying things with this, if you actually go through and put them in fully armour with the female heads, some of these would be quite nice, the chaos oblits for example have great heads based on the paintwork as shown, but they just look ridiculous as they are.
Dark Eldar and Daemon counts as, there would at least be some kind of acceptable part to the models, but when its supposed to be representing power armour or better, it just looks pants on the head daft, and I'm not a stranger to having the odd scantly clad female fig in my collection.
Although on saying all of that, with some of the talk of their previous Kickstarter, I doubt I would trust them anyway even if they did go back to the drawing board.

You forgot the missing-for-some-reason buttplates. It's like a neverending facepalm, like watching videos of idiots doing stupid gak and knowing within seconds it's going to end with a groin injury.

Yep. A lot of wasted effort IMO.
The design seems pretty cool on some of the stuff but it's just too ridiculous.
If you have to go cheescake (since no one has ever done models like that right, big opportunities there guys, right?),
then do models that's at least internally consistent. Having babes in bulky armour but just remove some pieces to expose their bikinis... in a way it's kinda insulting to have these things being marketed towards me.
I guess this might still just be a elaborate trolljob by Prodos. It would be a pretty epic one if true.

Ahahaha, thank you for this marvelous information. I really had a good laugh.
Seriously, these miniatures are awesome. I nearly want to buy some of those, telling my friend I'm going back to play Space Marines in W40k and show up with an army of Tit Marines.
Come on, it's totally sexist and silly, but the parody is just too good. "What could we add to Space Marines so that they sell more? BOOBS OF COURSE!"
I'm particularly fond of the "variants"; Space Marine, Assault Marine, Bike Marine, Dreadnought Marine, Terminator Marines...god, it just shows how boring and uninspiring the GW Space Marines are as miniatures. Prodos may crash with those, but that was totally worth it.

There is no version for Centurians because their absurdity is already at 11
Oblits?! Would'nt have minded havoc or chaos termie megaboob squads, for feths sake! I want to see their not-Abaddon, poorly sculpted metal boobs constantly falling off
I love the Warzone and AvP stuff. Love it to death, will probably buy tons of 'em whenever I get around to finishing the ninety million other things I have to do.
Won't touch this suff with a ten-foot pole. Yeesh. The female Totally-Not-A-Great-Unclean-One is pretty cool, other than that.... no. No.

Spot on! I suspect this is a naive attempt to move away from the Prodos name (Archon is the name of the Polish set up) after the AVP debacle ...(Prodos is also defunct..as they have pulled out o the UK now I left and the rest of the UK operation was culled or quit)
Also for the record...even though I was a co-owner of Prodos previously I would like to state publicly I have absolutely nothing to do with any aspect of this 'Space Rusade' (Yes Rusade look at the logo) monstrosity...

I just wanted to say I love the Mamoona reference. It's nice to see Poles acknowledging their ancestry instead of expressing out-and-out contempt for the beliefs, customs, and language of their forefathers (*cough*sapkowski*cough*).
They could be digitally coloured renders but colour me unimpressed.
Either way, consider me unimpressed. They all look like something someone with no skill making a fem marine army would look like. A fairly bog standard figure with green stuff sculpted spheres attached to their chests.
Prodos certainly know what they are doing though. They can't complete on their other projects so have decided to go for more nostalgia and tits to hide their shortcomings.
in a way it's kinda insulting to have these things being marketed towards me.
