Hehehe. Didn't think about that, but you're correct.

the little figurines do look pretty cool. I'll defenantly get the aliens just for display purposes.

There's a bunch more on here: http://deartonyblair.blogspot.co.uk/ Nothing with amazing quality unfortunately.

The stand-out stall for me, however, was Prodos Games - developers of the new Aliens vs Predator board game and war-game. I chatted with some of the team, and they were really open in terms of talking about the new game. There were several finished sculpts available for inspection.

Prodos were also showcasing some updated token sets and the board tiles. They explained that these had been redone, as they were unhappy with the originals. The examples at the show were really amazing; very detailed, very colourful. It's great to see a company listening to customers, and acting on criticism or advice. Overall, I'm really looking forward to the release of this game and feel confident it is in safe hands!

What the hell is with the marine type guy mounted on flying shark tailed dragon thing, at the back right there(between not-queenie and the royal-guard)? Is that a warzone mini which got mixed in?

[Corporal Hicks]

Yeah, that's one of the ones the Warzone people seem excited about.

Jolly good. I was momentarilly concerned aliens weirdness was afoot.

I like the looks of Dutch and his buddy (can't remember her name). The Predator tokens look pretty sweet too. And I'm also liking the looks of the mercs - even I wish they'd have been full-on A3 dog-handlers.

How much will this cost? If it's over $100, I'm not buying. Miniature board games nowadays are so expensive... 

[Tex]

The RRP of it, The box set with rules etc, currently I think is around 75 quid

Colloquial language mixed with exchange rates is going to end up in some major confusion.

In short, we don't really know yet. Thing is, it isn't just a board game. It's essentially a starter set for all three species for a big wargame.

I just really hope we get good tournament support for it!!

[Wey-Yu Xeno]

So what does the starter set include?

They haven't won me over t'ill I see Giger's Alien.

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.

Not to be a downer, but I really don't think they're gunna make the Giger version at all.
