Aliens v. Predator - The Hunt Begins Miniatures Game

[Tex]

Found this photo of the minature prototypes! Doesn't seem like this was shared yet but.. here you go!

Anyone know where they sell the Prodos brand games in the States? Normally, I don't collect these things or play them but considering that this is essentially something AvP related, I am willing to get into something like this.

Is the first Pred already blowing himself up?

No that would be him using his shoulder mounted plasma caster

Love the detail level of them. The Preds, Runners and Marines are all fantastic, but I gotta say, I really don't like the Warrior Alien. The awkward AvP feet combined with the f**khueg tail segments are really off-putting.

[Xenomrph]

To be fair there's likely design limitations given the scale they're working in. The old AvP Horrorclix minis had similar problems with the Alien tails, because if you make them too skinny they'd be mega-fragile, and it's also hard to capture good details on something that tiny.

I dunno, the Runner tails look nice. It's more the size of the fins than anything in regards to the tail. Rumour has it that that figure is called the "infant warrior", so fingers crossed for some more traditional Alien/Aliens style figures too.

Oh god no, I got obsessed with the Star Wars miniatures from Wizards. DON'T MAKE ANOTHER SET FOR A SERIES or I'll be forced to spend ungodly sums of cash on them ;_;

Spoiler

Funfact: Spent 70 dollars on Boba Fett, my nephew stole it and lost it.

Did... did you kill him?

I mean I'm pretty sure any court of law would rule in your favor if you did.

No but that little guy learned how to make 70 bucks back in an hour at age 9

Hoping to bring you some more info soon guys.

70 bucks for one model? f**king WotC.

Warhammer is even worse from what I understand.

It's bad, but nowhere near that. $70 with Games Workshop will get you a large kit, such as a tank or monster the size of an action figure, or a large-ish number of infantrymen. That's still stupendously expensive for what you're actually getting, but $70 for one normal sized figure (I'm assuming they were 28-35mm) is actually just mind-boggling to me.

FINALLY! I'm so excited to see a table-top AvP miniatures game. I'll finally have actual Alien, Predator and Marine miniatures to use for my RPG games I run with friends.

Judging from the round-lip bases, the scale is in line with Warmachine/Hordes, Malifaux style wargaming. I hope the game play will be good at least. The minis look great so far. Loving them. Ready to see a Queen on a 120mm base or some vehicles like the APC and Dropship.

I'm guessing 30mm true-scale. There's a pic floating around comparing some of the models to a GW Necron for size comparison, and the marines are slightly taller.

What did you make him do?

Games Workshop is a pretty awful company with awful pricing, but their intellectual properties are completely awesome and have a ton of really, really righteous artwork associated with them, so I can't completely hate them.

Agreed. Tried out any of the FFG role-playing games? I haven't played them myself, but I've heard nothing but good things.
