Neat.

Will make a nice addition to the horroclix minis. Maybe encourage me to tinker with a miniatures rules system idea...

Kickstarter

[doctordolemite]

I gave my pledge. It looks like if they hit their quota they add items to the add-ons.

[Axlotl]

I wonder if the kickstarter rewards will be exclusive to kickstarter (even if its only those particular model variations).

[doctordolemite]

I was wondering that myself. I hope that as the goal goes up we gain more free add-ons. I still don't know which one to choose out of the free one we get for the goal hitting 100k. It's either gonna be the Female Predator or the Predalien. The tough choices in life...

[Axlotl]

I really hate how the female Pred has breasts. Way to human. Totally uninspired.

[doctordolemite]

At first I thought it was a Machiko Nagouchi but then I saw her reptile feet. As far as breasts go, as silly as it is for a reptilian to have earth mammalian genitalia, I will say that in AvP: PREY the females were described to have similar genitalia to earth women. However, Predator females were much larger and stronger than their male counterparts and were much more aggressive. Especially with breeding. I'm not sure what her scale size is compared to the male Predators?

Also, Kickstarter is almost at 120k! If they hit that, we get a free add-on, free facehugger pack, and a free Predator Berserker!

[Axlotl]

Yeah, think I'll have to scrape together some funds to nab those bonuses. I love the dice. Super broke right now, though. More broke then I've been since forever. Still got some time though.

As of this post, they have a pledge goal of 128,678 BP. So, we now have the Exclusive Berserker Predator too. That makes my free add-on decision definitely lean towards to the female Predator. My mind was almost made up to go with the Predalien or Alien Warriors because we get the free face huggers but now that we get an exclusive Predator I think I am definitely going for the Female Predator. This way I would have gotten the starter game with 2 good Predator additions which I would think would make a good start. I'm not really sure how tabletop games work. I'm under the impression it's a rock, paper, scissors type deal with the species then figure specifics modify rules and dice odds. I was hoping to get the .pdf of the rules when pledging and just waiting until the release for the hardback of it. I don't think they're doing that though. What do you think of the Predator heavy strategy?

[Axlotl]

well, if you're going to play with other people that have bought it, then focusing on a preferred faction would be good, otherwise, if you'll only play other people who are using your miniatures balancing the factions might be preferable.

[doctordolemite]

That's true. I definitely have to take that into consideration especially since I am getting dodgy answers as to whether or not they are buying it. It would be 3 of us playing too if they did so your point holds strong. It's a shame too, I would love to have a strong Predator team. I have a few days to try and persuade them.

[Axlotl]

yep, I'm in the same boat. I'd prefer nabbing every alien, cuz, well, aliens. But I'll probably be the only one with the game locally.

[doctordolemite]

Just a reminder, the kickstarter is ending soon if you are going to purchase it. 47 hours as of this post.

[Axlotl]

I'll trade or buy the Berserker kickstarter exclusive someday if anyone isn't interested in theirs or has an extra. Can't buy into kickstarter right now. Had to borrow money to make my rent. Bad month.

I'm looking forward to these showing up in the post! I went to the Open Day and really enjoyed it down there.
