Unboxing: AVP – Alien Queen & Facehuggers
May 12, 2016 by dignity
Are you ready for trauma? How about some creepy questionable creatures diving into your own bodies? Well you're in luck, today we're unboxing the Alien Queen followed with her beautiful babies, the Facehuggers from Prodos Games for Alien vs Predator.
For being essentially tokens, the Facehuggers are amazingly sculpted and work really well in the game, watch out for if you die, they'll spawn more!
Plus if that's not terrifying enough, the big momma herself can only take one hit per round, oh baby...
How would you use these in a game?

Great unboxing. Now I’m just waiting for the android “Bishop” figure. I can see the unboxing now:
“Hmm … looks like the Bishop miniature comes in two halves. Let me take a look here to see where you glue them together.”
“That’s weird. I can’t find a place where they glue together.”
“Oh wait … I don’t think they’re supposed to glue together … (glance to the Alien Queen – shiver of horror) … poor Bishop.”
Oddly enough, that sequence when the Alien Queen rips poor Bishop in two was one of the moments in the first two Alien movies that really conveyed an important point about the Xenomorphs; they aren’t just predatory extra-planetary animals looking to survive and propagate, driven by simple basic impulses to feed and procreate and nothing more. Instead, they are actively malign, not just killing because they have too, but killing sadistically because that is what they are, and thus what they are driven to do even when it isn’t necessary for, or even compatible with, with their own survival.

@badula, yeah I’d like to see it.
Please
Still in 2 minds what to do with my stuff…
Please post your method.
I have a small issue with my alien queen. I had a hell of a time building her and when I finally succeeded, her leg was bowed. I have fixed it once all ready. It has been sitting awaiting more work and it has managed to bow in the leg again. Is anyone else have this issue or am I just a noob.
the drop ship is in development only £150
I would not put 2 huggers on the bases…. I would rather go for very small (20mm?) and _clear_ bases for thoose to enhance the ambush-factor 🙂
You don’t have a choice that’s how they are sculpted and it’s not how they were sold to us as KS backers they were meant to be individual.
The sculpted bases are less than useless if you are on a jungle board.
A lot has changed since the KS and none of it for the better.
Still waiting for my Kickstarter and now they are demanding extra money for delivery or it might be delayed even longer
And yet again, being a Backer, I will add it’s nice to see the top quality of the miniatures I helped get produced…. I’d just like to have any or preferably all of my beautiful looking stuff now. Thank you very much.
ok sorry for being late the method is utterly simple:
Prime in black
drybrush of a bright metal (like necron compund)
wash it black (nuln oil)
AND IT’S DONE
i’ve dedicated the extra time to go a little fancier with the base adding the light effect
with and airbrush use a dark blue then a light blue (i’ve used 71089 vj air) and a little spot of white
I know it sounds way too simple but….. it works!^^
the alternative is a loooong work using different greys
Why are BoW still promoting Prodos?
How they have treated their backers is appalling and this kind of behaviour should not be condoned or promoted.
Shame on you
Have you heard the interview where they explained how it went?
it was pretty straightforward why they opened sales b4 completing ks deliveries…
remember that Ks is NOT a shop but a way to help develop a product!^^
This is cool, thank you! I’ve included a link to your video in our articles about the models:
