The Predalien looks surprisingly good, while the Drone's head isn't as curvy as those first shots made it seem to be. However, the miniatures all seem to be lacking in the detail which is found in the marines and predators, while the biomechanical look is still missing, which was the core of Gigers design.
Little orphans in the snow
With nowhere to call a home
Start their singing, singing
Waiting through the summertime
To thaw your hearts in wintertime
That's why they're singing, singing

I have to agree that they don't seem on the same technical level as the other races.

LOVE the Predalien! Is that going to come in the Box Set!!?

Being the Tyranid nut that I am it should also come as no surprise that I am stricken with the Alien. In fact I do have- among other things- a complete life sized 2,3 metre version in my man cave.
Moloch, you can't come out of hiding and casually mention a 2.3 meter Alien model without showing us a photo....

Know what, Tim ? In your place i`d insist too. Here`s a quick snapshot:
I have to stress though that there`s a lot of focal distortion at work here: The Alien`s head is not that big, the legs and feet not that small. Oh am also not _that_ small.
You really should know better by now, Mr. Weyland. We're on to you.
Seriously, though, that is fantastic!
Also, sweet! New pictures! Can't wait for the announcement...

Yes, that just pretty much made the decision for me.
I want it NOW!
At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

my wallet is going to hurt so much. I have the old 25MM aliens from '91, but I'm really enthused about getting them in 28 mm.
The only thing I wish is they didn't have all the aliens with their tail posed over their head to strike. My memory may be fuzzy, but I only remember the dog alien and queen using its tail like that. I'd rather if the tail just "followed along" rather that it being posed to strike like a scorpion's tail.
It never ends well

Agreed on the tail bit, but it seems to me that there might be a practical reason, too. If three or four cluster together on a game board, the tails might get in the way if trailing behind. Over the shoulder might look less awkward than straight up... Maybe...?

As you say, the tail is also used as a weapon, so it coming in front of the alien can represent that and look good. So long as there's a nice variety of poses it should all be good, I hope they have it covered. Would rather not need to make stylistic sacrifices for board functionality if possible. I guess a bit of greenstuff and some hacking and chopping could probably fix it anyway.

Its because ordinance is still a word.
However, firing ordinance at someone isn't nearly as threatening as firing ordnance at someone.
Ordinance is a local law, or bill, or other form of legislation.
Ordnance is high caliber explosives.
No 'I' in ordnance.
Don't drown the enemy in legislation, drown them in explosives.

I really like the Aliens and the Colonial Marines are epic.

I'd like to see something like in a campaign, you roll a die for each colonial marine or predator taken out by an alien, and on a 15+ or something you get an extra alien, if they are taken out of action by a facehugger they are on a 10+ or something like that.
Just thinking out loud, I'm sure they'll have a much more elegant solution.
Another KS, crap, I was hoping for a general release with the option to pay with paypal so I don't get stabbed with extra fees and conversion charges associated with NOT being and American or British.
