Prodos Games Show Off Predators & Commandos For AvP
May 14, 2014 by brennon
Over on Bell of Lost Souls Prodos Games have shown off a few of the upcoming miniatures for the Alien Vs Predator line-up. See what you think of these xenomorphs, hunters and hapless humans...
As you can see they have some of the basic Alien Warriors that will be hunting you through tight starships floating through space. The hunted take the form of some Weyland Commandos but I wouldn't put it past them to be able to hold their own.

I emailed them personally and their reply was basically would you rather have us spend time writing rules or updating the kickstarter!!! Erm, I would have liked the rules to be well in hand before kickstarting occurred actually!
If the game’s there I might well pick some bits up on release though.
I pledged for the Hunt Begins board game. KS backers get an exclusive version of the game with high quality multi part models. There will be an unlimited edition retail version released later in the year. The rules are d20 based, I wonder if the rules could be similar to Warzone Resurrection. Not sure if the board game rules will be the same as the tabletop game, but I think they will be. I did get an update recently showing previews of the markers to be used in game. Prodos look to be aiming to deliver to backers during the… Read more »
The title for this article mentioned predators… are they cloaked? 😛
I had a look at the Kickstarter website, and apparently they are selling clear plastic versions of the different Predator sculpts to represent cloaked Predators.
