I don't think they're going to go Raging Heroes on us, so far they've shown far more model-wise than RH has during their run, who aside from flustered posts about how blown away they were with the first day of running their campaign showed us diddly, squat and gak. edit. During their KS I mean, sure they're coming with stuff now..

Ehhhhh, the eggs are iconic because of what they do more than because of what they look like closed lined up in rows. (Compare to the much less successful jar image in Prometheus.) I grant that the egg chamber, especially regarding Ripley's threat and the Queen's understanding, is important. It conveys a grotesque, menacing sense of scale. Like I said, great for a diorama but not too sensible in a wargame.

Yeah, especially since in a meta sort of way, we know what the eggs do, removing a lot of the suspense, so they pose less of a threat really. Though they could make for fine objective markers in game, or something the Marines need to torch and the Preds need to secure for their future hunts.

Could also be hostile terrain for the non-xenomorphs. I'm really keen to see what kind of "hidden" type mechanics this game has.

Overall, I am really enjoying this Kickstarter and the day to day posts in this thread.
For his family's sake, I hope that his wife isn't delivering the baby in Gunnison, Colorado.

Are you talking about the scene near the end of Aliens, or another scene (perhaps in Aliens 3)? That scene in Aliens was by far my favorite of the first 2 movies . Newer movies could take a lesson... sometimes an absolute lack of dialogue in a well done scene can convey more than words are capable of.

The scene from Aliens. It's tremendous. Just another reason that is my favorite film of all time.

From what I remember after looking into them for the Warzone campaign there were three major players in the company but based on their names a couple were Polish (?) so depending on their language skills may not be ideally placed to be doing KS updates (they may have added more staff since then, but whether they'd be in a position to step in?)

Gotcha Manchu, and totally agreed!
Regarding this:
richred_uk wrote:May already have been answered, but is there a way to get an extra Predator Berserker yet? I was looking at getting the 2 boxed set pledge (the £210 one - I forget the name) and splitting with a mate, but unsure as we'd both want the KS exclusive figure.
Would anyone (preferably in the US) like to work out a trade ahead of time for my 2 Predator Berserkers for 2 PredAliens? I'm hoping there's someone like richred looking for more of the Predator Berserkers (particularly because they're a KS exclusive, they might be more valuable later) and I'm looking for more PredAliens without having to use my add-on value. Win-win
After all, Predator Berserkers hunt in 3's right, so someone needs 3
Let me know! Edit: Swap worked out with jason2250

RiTides, you might want to ask on AVPGalaxy, too. There's at least one guy over there who wants nothing to do with Berserkers.
http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=49242.0
It's a few pages to go through so might want to just post something like the above.

Apparently the Praetorian wasn't a poor photoshop, but was in fact a custom figure. Seriously, can't we at least get a sketch or mock up render?

That's a pretty good rule. I am really looking forward to a gameplay vid. I suspect they may have already made one but it entails sculpts that have not yet been unlocked (or maybe the wargame book).

Well I'm hoping to find someone who wants more of them (i.e. who wants to run a group of 3) but I will give it a shot!

Also, wow I had to know all of this to register over there
What was 'the company' known as in the Alien franchise? (Hint: W??????-Y?????):
What is the planet known as in Alien? (Hint: LV-???):
What were the tall humanoid creatures known as in Prometheus? (Hint: E????????):
Edit: Imposter, maybe we will! I'm certainly pledging for more "Alien Warriors" hoping they'll be more like that (and as they're an early goal, we should see an actual WIP model before the end, I think)

Edit - Ninja'd Have they shown the warriors yet? I don't recall seeing them.
Thought I'd missed it in all the excitement.
Did anybody ask Prodos, or did the respond, about the whole multipart thing? How easy will it be to get variation etc?

Not yet, Medium of Death. But they said they got the sculptor working on them as soon as the stretch was going to be met, so I hope we'll get to see something on them.

Cheers guys, just noticed you had answered before I'd posted, and again after.
Registering to that AVP Galaxy is a pain in the arse. It's having a problem with the word Engineer... and i'm getting less inclined to continue, in saying that I won't be beaten!
