cautiously optimistic that this will be badass.
everything ive seen so far is indeed very pleasing.

A game company with a game not developed by kickstarter? Wtf? And it looks amazing

Hmm, so it turns out those French sculpts that showed up a while back were for this!

This looks great. Prodos by all accounts seems to have done a great job with Warzone, and this looks to be more of the same high quality fare. They have a good sculptor, and it really shows in their final product.

hows about some repostage for folks who hate facebook?

The pics are basically it.

I'm not seeing any other information, but I need coffee and will admit in advance it might be staring me in the face.

Look up!

The minis look great. The only suggestion I have is to include normal full bases and not ones with slots if the minis won't have tabs to put into them.

Just need to change my pants...

If you look in the OP and through the thread, there've already been a few colonial marine teasers.

I'd further suggest not to cast minis with tabs or if it is impractical to still supply full rather than slotted bases. I'd also prefer the regular (e.g., GW) rather than framed (e.g., PP) bases for this franchise.

And on top of that, there's this:

LOL that Necron looks so dumb next to Prodos's models.

Those preds are awesome!

This has made my friday.CAN NOT WAIT.

Oh, that's a nice shot.

Good to see that the predators are suitably larger than the marines.

Like... that's an imposing figure right there.

it really does look dumb doesnt it...?

sorry if its a repost but any idea on a timeline for the kickstarter?

Well, we don't know if there'll even be one.

... but hopefully there is one and we hear about it soon. >.>

I hope there isn't a Kickstarter and the game goes straight into production. If they've got official backing from Fox, I doubt they'll need Kickstarter as anything more than a storefront.

I can't wait to see some closer shots of the Marines!

I could not tell you how long I have waited for something like this. We've had smaller, individual efforts that are nice miniatures (the Heresy Miniatures 'Head Taker) but never such a unified collection!

Looks like they've got the scaling right, the design & variety of aliens right, and the Predator checking his wrist computer is just too cool for words..

So far - extremely promising!

Wow... a year ago no one had ever heard of these guys and now they are a absolutely to notch producer of miniatures.

I doubt it. KS is a method for the manufacturer to get 92%+ of the purchase price which for prodos games is almost full retail judging from the Warzone KS. I simply don't see them giving up that percentage cut to instead do the large initial splash via the traditional route where they instead get 40-50% of the retail price. Having someone else prefund (although I'm not sure where you're getting that info... usually you PAY the people who own the license... they don't pay YOU) doesn't somehow lessen the lure of an almost double profit from the initial release (along with the almost free marketing that a kickstarter gives you).

That bowlegged Necron really does look silly...

Anyway, this one makes me glad (almost) that I missed out on the Warzone KS!

This makes me even happier I funded the KS for Warzone!! What happens when Aliens and Predators invade the Warzone universe? I dunno... but I will find out when my Capitol troops face down some Aliens

Have to say, a rule do not swear, but logged in and saw the Pics with the AvP and just blurted 'F**k me thats seriously cool'
Proberbly not the best time to swear while stood in middle of care home family members at.

Still they do look great.

I am amused that we're bashing GW's models and not some of Mantic's stuff

Catty asides...er...aside.. I like what I'm seeing so far. If that is the quality of the production figures then I can see both of the clubs I frequent joining in on this.

I hope you're happy, Prodos.

You broke Matthew's brain.

its probably because mantic doesnt seem to be anywhere near as arrogant as GW.

Before the KOW KS, I'd have agreed with you. The more common sense reason is that the AVP figs are compared with a GW fig in the picture. I'm sure if they put a gorilla hands battle nun from KOW in there instead of a necron that the comparison would be even less favorable. There is no reason though for two middle tier UK minis manufacturers to start scratching at each other in something so simple as a scale comparison. The necron is most likely there simply because most people would end up substituting AVP figs into 40k armies compared with Mantic offerings.

They didn't really pay much attention to Xeno foot design... looks more like Disney Gargoyles feet... But I am a psychotic Aliens fan so....
