Now that their first major expansion for Aliens vs. Predator: The Hunt Begins has started shipping, Prodos Games have announced their next expansion and it’s some of the new units mentioned in the updated ruleset for Hot Landing Zone! Say hello to the Elite Predators!
Each of the new Hunters come with something new: The Scimitars Predator brings a Shuriken to the game. A throwing, ranged weapon which doesn’t inflict much damage, but ignores all negative modifiers to RS while in use. All of the hidden Aliens on infected tiles and targets on engaged tiles – suddenly become easier to take down. The Glaive Predator comes with a Ceremonial Dagger in his equipment. Think you are safe making a successful armour save against this weapon? Think again and Re-roll please! And last but not least – we introduce a classic Alien Versus Predator weapon, the Speargun, which is wielded by the Whip Predator. This unique weapon provides an ability that hits additional targets while performing a shooting action. Yes, spear projectiles go straight through their targets.
All of the Elite Predators come with the Expert Hunter passive ability. It’s a more advanced version of the Seasoned Hunter skill. Every time the Expert Hunter is revealed, it may move one tile, including towards the enemy. That’s the difference.
And as they so often do, Prodos also has a sweet new pre-order incentive bonus to go along with the Elite Predators!
Your February bonus miniature is a USCM Female Marine with a Flamer, that comes with a very special skill. Cooked well done – once per game, the flamer hits much harder than it usual does. All at the price of loosing a medkit. For the sake of game balance you must swap out any existing Flamer model with the Female flamer model.
The Elite Predators also come with a new mission that continues the story of the Hot Landing Zone storyline. The “Prison Break” scenario is available for download now. The Elite Predators are available for pre-order now and are expected to ship on the 1st of March.
Prodos Games and Alien vs. Predator Galaxy are also teaming up once again to offer our community members a chance to win copies of the Elite Predators and pre-order bonus. So keep an eye out for the upcoming competition!

I'm using TTcombat MDF terrain but I'd also recommend Battle Systems for a start, after that start with objectives like ammo crates.
Heres another w.i.p Predator objectives.

Awesome thank for that very helpful.
I have a specimen to show off, scenery/objective marker for my 3d ship board being put together. Also have a few other scatter terrain being worked on to set the mood.

Great work again.

I received my Predator Elites and female marine at the weekend. As usual, nicely detailed sculpts!
Thanks, and sure. Anything specific you're wanting to see? It's likely the other two unicast berserkers up next.
I'm still 99% sure the whip etc are included in his cost of 63pts like the troop models, rather than buying wargear on top of that, since he can't be altered or take extras. Unless one of the staffers on FB have indicated otherwise?
Finished the Tracker

Other predators have their gear listed or need to but it in their campaign cost section but he doesn't.
Onto your painting he looks great good skin contrast it really pops love the colour choice.

Working on the Tracker, about half done.

Unfortunately that's only for Unleashed not the board game, points costs dont match up as that was my go to first. Thanks though.

My group is planning on doing a Colonial Marines D&D style game using TTcombat MDF zone mortalis terrain and the prodos stuff. Starting to put together the bits to make rooms match the board games counter parts like escape pods etc.
Now we have the basics down I've told the guys they have 200 points for lists and I'll plan the scenarios. Does anyone know if anyone has listed all the card load outs costs? Eg Predator with Smart disc. Looking to see if I can save time also couldn't find the trackers whip cost, unleashed costs dont match the board games.
So far heres what I have using the cards I own. Female Predator was missing so used Elder base points and for now unleashed points for trackers weapons.
HQ choices
.Beserker Elder - 96pts
.Warrior Elder - 80pts
.Female Elder - 70pts
.Tracker - 80pts
Hunting pack choices
.Hunter - 61pts
.Warrior (Combi-Stick) - 56pts
.Warrior (Smartdisc) - 63pts
.Youngbloods 1-3 takes one slot
Y.Blood Wrist Dart & Wristblades -35pts
Optional extras - +1 Y.Blood Wrist Dart & Wristblades - 35pts or/and Y.Blood Wrist Dart & Combi-Stick - 38pts
.Hellhounds 1-6 takes one slot - 9pts each
-TJ88
Both from 1992 so i assume it's based on concept art from Alien 3
Cheers m8
Beautiful work.
Don't want to seem as total dilettante but i wanna know what came earlier: Alien 3 or Kenner toy? I'm curious because Panther Alien looks similair to Runner from 3.
I very much prefer your version to that version.

Great sculpting and painting work on those.
Especially love the white and orange critter.
Is that also a Kenner one?

Totally forgot about the transparent Predators, so that was a nice surprise
Heres my update on the Vanguard Predator armour flows nicely now and upper torso has been bulked up.

While it was still a tougher competition that I’d anticipated, plenty of you still got it right! So congratulations to our three winners: Chris Lowe, Leon (no last name given) and Sean Simonson. Emails have been sent to you requesting shipping addresses.

Predator update I have a model ready for my Vanguard Predator, after alot of searching it was Prodos who had the best fit. I am going to use the torso and shoulder pads from their Space Crusade Calypso model. I also found a cool clear plastic ice blade for the plasma scythe blade.
-TJ88
Aren't they ELITE predators?
Competition is up!
Soilders have a power glove each now and hydra bits picked out.
And finally something for when I set up a display for them. Predator Skull throne inspired by Necas.
-TJ88
I'm definitely digging those
Annoyed that I have a custom Speargun on my tracker and if I waited a month this guy would be available...
On other news I have now received all my Kickstarter stuff from Prodos (Thanks Jarek and Dave). So to go with my 1500 points of Predators for my Extinction Project, I now have another 500+ Predators 500+ Marines and 500+ Xenomorphs that I've outsourced to 3 of my work colleagues.
