Those Cyphers look like a good substitute for generic humanoid aliens for various games like 5 Parsecs etc.

Looks like there will be a new firefight starter of nightstalkers vs. asterians, and some new resin Asterians too.

I'm interested in both armies and already have some nightstalkers, being able to dual-use them for KoW too is quite appealing.

New plastic ones are not a revolution but welcomed.

I am waiting to test in some ways new Nightstalkers for Firefight, this game is great.

Funny. So they'll be better to model with (everyone hates resin...) but are essentially very similar looking. Kind of a silly example to show off!

I'd say that models being redone in a better material without looking out of place with the models already in peoples' collection is a really good example to show off, honestly.

I was really hoping they'd redesign these things to fit more with the marionettes. The lens heads are a much better look.

On the other hand, if they are HIPS, swapping the weapons onto Marionettes shouldn't be too challenging.

or just using other heads for the Cypher, as most of the 3rd party alternative heads out there fit the Mantic models

also good chance this kit will have melee and ranged weapons so there should be enough left for conversion trades
