I for one want all of it. As someone who has been a table-top war gamer for a long time, this is something that I've wished and wanted for since forever lol.
Someone asked if they'd be pre-painted or not, my guess is that it falls in line with just about every other table-top war game and no, unpainted. But that's my guess. Which is good, then you can paint them how you want them to be. I'm eager to see the price point for some of this stuff though. I just hope to everything that is holy that it won't be like 40k and everything super expensive.
I'm in pretty much the same boat as you, in fact the only reason I ever got into 40k was that Tyranids looked so similar to Aliens, and that kicked off the rest of my gaming.
14 years later, here we are with this and I'm rounding up the majority of my GW stuff to sell off, I'd just much rather have this stuff, regardless of which Aliens we end up with (although with the ongoing confusion around the "Infant Warrior", I am hoping we at least get true-to-source Cameraliens).
As for painting and price: I really,
really hope they come unpainted. Cast in different coloured plastic maybe, but unpainted/un-assembled is going to be the best for me personally, although I do wonder how many people would say to themselves, "wait... you have to build them and paint them? f**k that noise!" and put the box back on the shelf.
Pricing is difficult, but I kinda see this being on-par with GW starter box pricing. That's not as bad as you'd think though - if you compare 40k/fantasy to most other wargames, the individual models (apart from heroes) aren't any more expensive than other games, and can sometimes be much cheaper than say, Infinity or Malifaux. It's the fact that you need over 9000 models and several hardcover rulebooks to play a game that's the issue. Since this seems to be based around cards, I assume the startup cost to get into this will be comparatively low, hopefully with the core rules included in the "big box".
