Prodos’ Alien Vs Predator Miniatures Head To Titan Games
May 5, 2014 by brennon
Prodos Games took their finalised Alien Vs Predator miniatures funded by Kickstarter to Titan Games in Lichfield and we've got a whole bunch of images of them thanks to GMorts Chaotica...
First off we have the Aliens themselves and there are plenty of epic looking xenomorphs for you to enjoy. I particularly like that they have included the Alien Crusher from the latest Colonial Marines game, even if the game itself was terrible the monster was awesome.
On the Predator side of things we not only have this look at the Predator Berserker but also the hybrid from one of the later Predator films, the Predalien. Once again some very cool looking stuff but the Aliens are still the mega-stars at the moment!
Here's where I start to get a little unsure on the miniature front. The Aliens and Predators look awesome but the Marines aren't quite as cool looking for some reason. I think the one holding the flamer and Dutch are awesome but the rest look a bit odd to me. I think it's the stances and their arms.
It wouldn't be an AvP game though without a bit of set dressing and they have also worked on those iconic Sentry Turrets alongside a couple of objective markers showing off a poor human skull and an android whose been torn in half. Bishop anyone?
What do you think?

Superb sculps. I think the troops are the Weyland-Yutani Biological Management commando team that was seen at the end of Aliens 3.
Beautiful sculpts – didn’t pick this one up on kickstarter as details seemed very vague – lots of unanswered questions for me. Looks like I should of has a little more trust shaping up to be a cracking looking mini set – hopefully the rules are to match 🙂
APC please!
Prodos need to start paying attention to how their minis are posed … its like they can have their hands on backwards and they will still pass quality control
Whoever donvoted here obviously didnt back the warzone ks ..
Love the android mini, although not sure how you would use that in a game. His movement rate would be pretty low. 🙂 I just remember the title track for this scene from the Aliens soundtrack CD – “Queen to Bishop.” I never remember chess being this gory, though.
Wait, just answered my own question. I hovered over the Bishop image and saw he was an “objective marker.” That’s a cool idea. Ripley spends half of Alien 3 trying to get to Bishop to get information, after all. I guess the Marines / Humans / Corporate player could be trying to reach a disabled android to download communication codes to call for help, recover company secrets, or get the uplink protocol to call down that drop ship and get us the hell out of here!” :O
Also like the automated gun turrets, I think they only appear in the director’s cut / special edition of the Aliens movie?

I think you could be correct the helmets certainly seam accurate.
I backed the Kickstarter and am pretty happy with the sculpts, though I have to say, the Predators and Aliens steal the show.
This resin version will be followed by hard plastic versions in 2015 and a bigger range (it all depends on licensing approvals from the film company – everything you see has been approved!)
Now all we need is a deck of cards….
The Aliens and Predator sculptors look fantastic. The posing of the ‘commandos’ looks a little awkward. Looks like it will be a good looking game especially with Battle Systems terrain.
