Prodos Games Show Off What’s Coming To Gen Con
August 12, 2017 by brennon
Prodos Games has shown off what new goodies are going to be at Gen Con this year. They have a distinctly Alien Vs Predator theme to them...
As well as new releases for Warzone it's also looking to be the first place you can actually pick up the M577 Armoured Personnel Carrier which we previewed a few weeks ago.
This is a rather nifty looking kit and something that fans of AvP will most likely enjoy as a collectable as much as a piece for gaming on the tabletop.
Oohrah!
As well as the vehicle above you can also get yourself the Event Exclusive miniature which is this USCM Sergeant here.
As a fan of Halo I have to say I'm thinking more of Sergeant Johnson than I am of anything from AvP but that's a good thing in my books. Just change the base for a Covenant Elite and you're cooking with gas!
Will you be checking them out at Gen Con?

Those two look really good but those being at Gen Con means that some one from Prodos is there giving all they KS backers chance to ask what is going on on person and hopefully get some answers.
Yeah…. expect to be fobbed off with empty promises as those at Salute got
Why did they colour the APC so bright? The toned down colour palette is so important for the films’ style and atmosphere.
Coming soon from Prodos, empty silence to KS backers…. oh no we have that already
Prodos are such a bunch of ……
Lies and bull….t are all their good for.
Never Forget !
Prodos… *spit
Really like the APC and the Sarge, sad that he is a show only item.
@brennon
You do that Sergeant Johnson was heavily inspired by Gunnery Sergeant Al Apone (which this show exclusive Sarge looks like) from the movie Aliens? Which just shows once more how much the Halo team liked Aliens, the whole UNSC is heavily inspired by the USCM from Aliens.
Should of course be: “You do know that….”
If you preorder the APC from their web store they are including the Sgt for free. I have never had any problems with Prodos’s web store, with the three orders I have submitted, before anyone asks.
Interesting. I know if you preorder the APC you get those 2 Alien roadkill markers also.
I just can’t get over the fact that BoW are still promoting these theiving arseholes.
As a longtime member you will have seen my long posts on how we try to protect the neutrality and independence of the news team and news output. So my question is simple (at least in the surface) … Who else do we censor and under what circumstances, and what evidence is considered enough? (Because when we go down this road of censorship, we have to have a credible set of guidelines and rules against which every company has to be measured and anyone who has any grievance with a company then feels they have a right to potentially have… Read more »
Thank you for taking the time to answer. I do understand that you have to try to be neutral in most cases and have chosen a set of (relatively) simple guidelines to work within. But when your guidlines alow the active promotion of someone who has a proven track record of being lieing, dishonest and all around abusive towards people who have paid them good money for items that they still haven’t sent out, then those guidelines may need to be reconsidered. If a company can be unethical and underhanded without any form of repercussion then what incentive is there… Read more »
‘Also. It could be said that when you keep actively promoting someone like this despite knowing how unethical they are and how strongly it will effect a chunk of your subscribers, then you could be classed as no longer being neutral.’
Are you stating that?
Just seen this article In my opinion as a backstager, anyone who rips off gamers should not get further free advertising or promotional space from BoW. You guys are seen by the community as a service that caters and looks after gamers, giving us news and views on companies and upcoming products and events Personally, i dont want you guys to give credence to people like Prodos who basically stole money from backers by not fulfilling the Kickstarter campaign, and are now asking people to order extra items from their website and they will then send what the person is… Read more »
They expand the range so slowly but the models are really good.
Anyone played AvP: Unleashed? We’ve had a couple of small games and it’s fun. I’m curious to try it out against some of the Warzone armies. Prodos claims both games are fully compatible.
I cant believe some people will fall for the Prodisser’s “Pre-order” (give us your money and we will eventually give you your stuff, tho it will be 3 years late and a bag of shite) style of managment.
With the exception of their Space Crusade game (where pre-orders were refunded because Prodos decided it needed more development), I don’t believe there have been any problems with pre-ordering product from Prodos or buying anything from them that is in their webstore. As always, speculative negativity is always a lot more popular than the boring truth. The truth is that Prodos are still awful at communication, KS fulfilment IS still happening and if you are waiting for some or all of a pledge and any part of that pledge is not ‘done’ and at Prodos yet, you will not get… Read more »
Also, there were shenanigans regarding the KS page. That can’t be disputed although we will probably never know the real reason it happened.
Please BOW, while at Gen con, try and find out from Prodos when (if ever) those KS backers will receive their Pledges.
This is now well beyond acceptable.
Folks there are various ways to receive some of your pledge and, if you are willing to exchange out items that are not ready or approved, you can get alternative items to the value of your pledge. There are a number of Facebook groups that can happily link you to where you can find out all the information. Not passing judgement on anyone, Just checking that you are aware that there are options out there for you if you don’t want to wait.
The only problem with that is if you ask on these Facebook groups multiple people have tried to do the exchange program but have never got a reply on multiple emails and addresses
I have successfully used the exchange program to swap out items alongside a new order. I didn’t receive any emails or confirmation but the items were swapped. Their comes is poor but it does work as long as you swap everything out or place a new order.
I do love the APC.
I’m not a fan of the trend to digital enhancement of supposedly painted miniatures (as I *think* these are). I get that it is a slippery slope given that photographs will always be touched up but there’s a line that keeps getting crossed.
When my minis end up looking crap compared to the promotional image I want to know that it is because I am much, much worse than a professional painter, and not because of Photoshop trickery!
