This weekend the miniature wargames convention known as Salute 2014 is taking place in South London. Prodos Games, the company behind the upcoming Alien vs. Predator – The Miniatures Game, was there to show off their prototypes:

I can't wait to get these in the post. I'm hopeful I'll have a place to play it now at Titan.
On Saturday the 3rd of May Prodos Games was celebrating the release of their new Mutant Chronicles Warzone models with Titan Games and they also brought their finalized models from the upcoming Aliens vs Predator The Miniatures Game:
The Queen and the Power-Loader square up.
Gmorts Chaotica and Farsight Blogger were on hand to get us our best pictures of the final models from Prodos Games’ first wave for the game. A recent post of Prodos Games’ Facebook reveals that the game will soon be available for pre-order. Hopefully this means those of us who pledged to the Kickstarter will recieve our models soon.

Glad they went with plastic for the figures. More durable then diecast and and the paint doesn't rub and chip off as easily. Plus the figures can easily be reformed or corrected using hot water.
Our best pictures yet IMHO. They're from today at Titan Games.

The last Kickstarter update was full of awesome looking pictures too.
FEAR!!!
Thanks for answering that one Arterial Spray. For the reason you point out, I doubt we'll see a Giger Alien, although I've been thinking about making one based around the Warrior figure with a head-swap.
They already described their AvP style drone as Gigers Alien in one of the interviews. That model may well have been aproved by Fox under that description.
Given everything to come out of the franchise lately has had digitigrade legs and no back horn, I strongly suspect that the official Fox standpoint is now that the AvP [movie] designs are official and the former arangement was purely a tec limitation.
Finally, in miniature form (its only a little taller than 28mm) the Giger alien would not be significantly different from the 'infant warrior' other than the tail, horn and lower legs, and as such might not be deemed cost effective to produce. You could always custom it.
Edit: In review I actually just realised that many of the minis (as opposed to the concept art) for the most part have plantigrade legs in dynamic posing, which is nice.
Not to be a downer, but I really don't think they're gunna make the Giger version at all.

I just really hope we get good tournament support for it!!
Colloquial language mixed with exchange rates is going to end up in some major confusion.
Jolly good. I was momentarilly concerned aliens weirdness was afoot.

And brown'n'slimy will be easier to paint too.
But everything looks pretty fantastic otherwise.
I think I'll just pretend the AVP Aliens are A:R Clones as are any eventual AVP:R designed Warriors can be the Warrior-Clone equivalent.
