While I have SedWars, I won't be getting this because the monsters just are not working for me.

bharat's comment: "sci fi version of cat dog

"

I think I'll save up for Z: Night of the LIving Dead. I guess I prefer fantasy and horror of established monsters, including Cthulhu and zombies, rather than arbitrary horror.

Too bad that Massive Darkness and SMOG: Rise of Moloch weren't better received. I liked those sculpts very much!

Max on BGG:
> SWARM ALIENS (Alien Soldiers)
>15 of each in the box, compared to 20 of each in the original; stretch goals appear to make this 20 in new version

**Col Hammer**

I like Vicky. And the Matriarch. And the Krogan. And few of the other heroes.

But so far this KS isn't pushing any of my buttons hard enough to getting me back it.

I bet if these heroes/monsters could be used in Z:Invader, that'll be enough for me to jump in.
Since CMON has been adding crossover packs into other of their KS'ers, it is a possibility here too.

So I'm watching.

**Sacredroach**

@Col Hammer, that is a good point. I’m not backing currently as the monsters are just not my thing, but the hero sculpts look great... very SedWars. If they do a crossover, that may be the incentive I need to jump in.

**DaveC**

The only likely crossover is Zombicide Invader and even that’s not gauranteed Sedition Wars is dead there wont be crossover rules for it.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Elite is also somebody elses game so bolting on stuff from one of CMONs games may not be straight forward depending on how the licence they're operating under

**Col Hammer**

If there is no cross-over pack to Z:I , I might still back this in the end. There are some heroes I wouldn't mind having.

I plan to use the Z:I heroes in other sci-fi games, so why not P:E heroes too. At least the sculpting style and the armor design is very similar between these games, so the figures would mix together well (assuming the scale is the same...)

**highlord tamburlaine**

Too many heroes for my taste.

They aren't as necessary as the enemy variety.

I want a countdown app with dramatic music that has increasing tension as the clock strikes down as a stretch goal!

It helps!

**Col Hammer**

the CMON Project elite is now up to 6 player game (the old one was up to 4 players?), so a few more heroes might be ok?

**DaveC**

Better Alien boss there. I also find it funny that they've started putting the artist name on the artwork Bounty is by Saeed Jalabi and Robert is by Karl Kopinski.

**Siygess**

Damn, this must be a CMON KS - the only minis I really like so far have been the exclusives!

**highlord tamburlaine**

Is bounty a sedition war model?

Not one I've ever seen

Zombicide Invader crossover pack they got this out quick P:E seems to get he better end of the crossover.

For $15 this Kickstarter Exclusive Optional Buy not only brings all the Survivors, Workers, Hunters, Tanks, Machines, and the Abomination from Zombicide: Invader to Project: ELITE but also ports all Heroes, the Biter Swarm and 2 Bosses from Project: ELITE into Zombicide: Invader! It contains 60 cards plus 6 cardboard Hero Dashboards! Please note this Crossover Set will not be available on retail.

The Crossover set comes with 6 Survivor ID Cards to bring Project: ELITE Heroes as Survivors for Zombicide: Invader, where they all function as Soldiers:

The Crossover set comes with 18 Xeno Cards to port Biters as a new type of Worker, as well as Thraex and Gutslug as brand-new Abominations:

The Crossover set comes with 6 cardboard Hero dashboards to bring the Survivors from Zombicide: Invader as Heroes for Project: ELITE

Finally, the Crossover set comes with 34 cards to bring Workers, Hunters, and Tanks as Swarms as well as the Abomination as an all-new Boss:

and from the Zc:I update as someone's likely to ask.

You will need a base pledge of Project: ELITE to be able to purchase it.

**BobtheInquisitor**

Bounty and Robert look good. More like them, please.

**PsychoticStorm**

Really underwhelming compared to the previous crossover packs to be entirely honest...

**Barzam**

Hey look, a soldier that's actually posed aiming his weapon and wearing a helmet! Why couldn't more of the Z:I survivors have been like that?

**DaveC**

Next up Sandra this is a redesign of SW Sharro

And the WIP rulebook

http://resources.cmon.com/Project-ELITE-Rulebook-WIP.pdf

**BobtheInquisitor**

That redesign is a big step up from the original.

**Col Hammer**

Z:I crossover pack added. I guess I now need to put my money where my mouth is and back this KS.

At least the heroes and monsters will look right at home with the Z:I heroes and monsters.

**DaveC**

I like the original sculpt and it came with an alternate “Mandalorian” type helmeted head but it was in that super fine scale that SMV used for later SW minis so I’ll be happy to have the alternate as well.

SW minis that have yet to show up

Phaedrus Psiren
Commodore Grist
Tumult
Zorya
Plus any of the originals could get a redesign like Barker has

and then there’s the Firebrand range as well.

Uriah and Gemma would be an odd fit for either side but the Jaggernat Heavy would fit as a boss.

**zedmeister**

Thanks DaveC for posting up the Sedition Wars re-used comparisons

This fella was supposed to be a bounty dog in Sedition Wars.

**DaveC**

Ah I had half a notion I’d seen it before but couldn’t place it thanks.

Do you have any idea if they're re-sizing the Sedition Wars minis they're re-using such as the Retarius?

**DaveC**

No idea sorry but the images from Essen Spiel and in the Dice Tower video they look to be the same size as before all except the Gutslug which increased size and is largely a new sculpt.

You can see the original Gutslug (front row second from left) in this image which also reminds me that the Medusa hasnt appeared yet either.

**DaveC**

New expansion

The Alienship Rescue Expansion comes with:

4 Boss figures
15 Swarm figures
4 Boss cards
1 Swarm Stat card
10 Swarm Spawn cards
7 double-sided Game Tiles
15 tokens
1 Rulebook
Backers who get the Alienship Rescue expansion during this Kickstarter campaign will also get the Kickstarter Exclusive Heroine Sarah Morgan, including her figure and dashboard!

So Cyclops is a close combat Jaggernat posted above
Faun and Worm is a redesigned Phaedrus Psiren

And Sarah was originally a Castellan Medic (Heavier armoured Samaritan)

**Col Hammer**

I like the insect swarms. Something different. So I'll take this add on for those already. Everything else is a nice bonus.

**DaveC**

About $9k away from the next goal

Todays fun SW fact

the Firebrand drones are called Killi drones this must be their big brother they even share the claw arm

Spoiler:

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Marbled Dice add on after the Massive Darkness ones turned out quite poor these are an easy pass

**DaveC**

and there's the Medusa slight redesign again

**BobtheInquisitor**

That left arm looks really bad in the new position. However, if hot water won't fix it, a knife and glue will, so overall a pretty good monster.

Might have to do something about that chest, though. I'd be pretty embarrassed putting that mini in the table with friends or family. They just barely take the hobby seriously as it is.

**DaveC**

Well there's Tumult and Zorya I won't post the originals again scroll up the page to see them. Tumult had some lovely fine detail work but it would never survive the transfer to PVC.
