W-Y appears to be more mundane stuff like objective markers and whatnot.

I'd really like to see a mini of Herk Mondo now, complete with a six pack of piss.

Weyland-Yutani goals are game-related. We know 1 is a hardcover rulebook, but as for the other that is yet to be seen...

Well, if I stick with my plan of 6 PredAliens and 6 Hounds for a project I have in mind... that would run me $14 a mini. I wish there was more than one pose on these models... are you guys planning to bend them up in hot water, and will that be useful for more than just the tails?

Better pics! From Titan Games' facebook page, gotta say these help put my mind a lot more at ease, quality looks great on those predators in particular:

Edit: I've copied these into the Dakka gallery (and updated the pics above) for those who might not be able to view facebook, but I've left the link to Titan Games' facebook page above if you want to give them a shout and say thanks for posting these

Yeah the quality is quite clear from those pics. Although I do think the female marine with the flamer is quite awkward looking.

Aye, she's got an awkward running pose all the while trying to carry a satchel of sorts.

The motion tracker marine appears to be missing his right arm.

Prodos said that there will be multiple versions of the Alien, all linked by background story on how Aliens develop and mutate, younger Aliens with smooth heads, older Aliens with ripped heads, other variants depending on the host.

Still time to insult the producer once you have actually seen those versions.

Too many Hudsons here and not enough Ripleys.

I have a feeling folks who didn't like the aliens from the box will really like the warriors that unlocked; hopefully Prodos will get on that and show a render! The pics above didn't come from them, but I'm guessing they sent the models to Titan Games to show off, so at least they got the word out somehow

Seems like the money has stalled. I think prodos need to show us concept art and things. Information for this is very light on the ground, I fear that it won't get to the Queen...

I cancelled my pledge this afternoon, partially because I have too many irons in the fire, partly because I have little people to buy presents for and partly because I just wasn't excited for it in the same way as I was when it was announced.

As much as I hate CMON, I want the game. Is there a way to get 2 hallway sets, along with the pledge or is there a limit on add ons?

How do these figures size up with the Batman Arkham ones?

I think we've punched through quite a few walls in just two days. Maybe I'm overly optimistic, but I'm sure this will turn out just fine.

We'll get plenty of stuff sooner or later, including a rundown of how the game plays.

In the meantime, must plan a Jeri conversion..

Update 6 - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/513277403/alien-vs-predator-the-miniatures-game/posts/657235

Invite a friend and both get an AVP model of your choice* for free!

*So if you get a friend to pledge £75 or more and then post your KS name below, you will both get a model on 40mm base or less of your choice for free.

Will you go for a Alien Warrior, colonial medic, the sergeant or a predator

Will they have a predator hellhound, the female pred or maybe facehugger?

Get more friends to pledge and shout you, you get more free models!

The last pledger was number 873, the new person has to have a higher number than that! New pledgers, you can be the inviter too!

Hang on, Colonial Medic?!

The Predalien looks rather nice when painted:

Wow, I love that! Definitely using most of my add-ons for those.

Anyone want to shout out to me, I'll love you forever (have to be a new pledger, of course). My KS name is the same as here

I haven't pledged yet, but probably will soon - so how exactly do I do that AND hook RiTides up?

I think RiTides has to comment on update #6 that he got you to back probably best if tides mentions your KS backer name as well.

Not sure if this will help or harm them - why would you pledge now without getting a "friend" to hook you up so both of you get freebies. This thread could end up full of people looking to get the bring a friend offer.

EDIT sorry reread it looks like the new backer mentions the current backer "friend" in the comments.

This is...annoying, mostly. And yeah, it's going to mostly inspire requestspamming while not incentivising actual promotion of the project *at all*. Their party, I guess.

I think Alpharius has to post my name in the comments section of Update 6, I'll post confirming it. Best part, we Both get a free model for it!

That will actually get me to up my pledge by 5 pounds to get the right ratio of models, so even Prodos wins

Yep having reread it that sounds right RiTides.

Someone mentioned this in the KS comments but what's to stop a current backer dropping out entirely and then getting another backer to invite them back - I assume KS gives you new backer number if you entirely drop a pledge then re peldge later so you appear to be a new backer - this could be messy.

If some wants to say 'On The Lamb Games' sent hem, I'd appreciate it

Bolognesus- Maybe, but it did get us talking about the project again! I'll PM you Alph, if you don't end up joining in I have a friend who may at some point

The Predalien is pretty impressive, and seems to have more alien features blended into it which I really like.

The project creator sees who drops out so while you could in theory bail out with your current ID and then rejoin with a different one to avoid being spotted it's probably more than many will bother to do

like you can in theory run 2 accounts to get extra 'one per backer' freebies some will split a big pledge up to do this, most just can't be bothered

I had actually drop/added this morning, but for an unrelated reason (was changing payment methods and chose to do it that way for whatever reason). Well before this update, though, so my number is definitely below the line they posted.

I really like the predators and predalien, but the more I look at the other aliens an marines I think 'meh, there not great'.

"All publicity..."? I dunno. Maybe. You're right I don't have to like it for it to be effective

Edit: Agreed Bolognesus . This got Alpharius in, and I've got another friend about to join too because of this! Although I know this only works once, of course

It was enough to push from "I don't know if I want..." to "Why not? And get me and a friend an extra free mini too!" so...

I'm also going to watch a bunch if movies again too...

It also looks like it's caused them to lose 62 or so backers since it was posted.

Including me. Dropped my "Game Over, Man" $600 pledge since the "extras" were the same as the lower level unlimited pledges anyway, give or take a couple of facehuggers. While I can handle EB levels, I'm not a fan of time-limited rewards that penalise people who back a campaign earlier or later, and this kind of manipulation pisses me off. Back to the sidelines for the next three weeks for me.

Pointing out lying and being critical is insulting and panicking? Great logic.
Prodos said that there will be multiple versions of the Alien, all linked by background story on how Aliens develop and mutate, younger Aliens with smooth heads, older Aliens with ripped heads, other variants depending on the host.

Cause that's like what I totally did.

Too many Hudsons here and not enough Ripleys.

Hypocrisy, it's a party.

2/10 Kroothawk.

They had 804 active backers when it was posted but they had 873 backers in total, 69 backers had pledged and then dropped out before the update KS doesn't reallocate a pledge number when a backer drops out it keeps allocating new numbers.
