Gale Force 9 recently published a pretty excellent board game based on James Cameron’s iconic action thriller. Surprisingly, the miniatures are high quality muti-part figures. For those of you not interested in trying the board game (which FYI is totally worthwhile in itself), GF9 is selling the figure kits separately for prices not seen in the realm of minis gaming for decades. For example, 16x multipart xenomorphs for MSRP 25 USD and the Alien Queen for MSRP 15 USD. Sculpts for almost every marine character in the movie (only Ferro and Spunkmeyer missing) as well as Ripley, Newt, Burke, and Bishop (even including an alternate Bishop pose, post-being-torn-in-half) are available as well as some useful plastic scenery (e.g., eggs and facehuggers). Not to mention Ripley driving a power loader!

Scale is approx True 32.

The Marines and civilians appear to be manufactured by Victrix while the xenomorphs are from Archon (formerly Prodos). The xenomorph figures are not the same miniatures as previously produced by Prodos.

What a dream come true for many minis gamers!

Now this looks fascinating......something I have tried to do in metal but crashed and burnt - too expensive.....hopefully someone in the UK will stock them soon.....

By Victrix? Brilliant! And in 32mm... mmm... might be using these for a Core Space crossover. Excellent!

The miniatures boxes look to be great value.

I was in the Bearded card gamer shop on Friday and he had-some of these in.Might have to get a box or two.

If anyone already has them, could he or she post a picture with a comparison to the Prodos Marines? I have a large amount of those and it would be ace if they fitted scalewise.

Oh acid-bloody xenohell. Right while I'm putting the finishing touches to a xenostalgic Aliens project using Kryomek stuff.

EDIT: 15$ for the powerloader set? Is that for real, or am I missing some hidden costs?

I've been meaning to get into some bug-hunt type games for a while and haven't committed to an alien enemy model set yet. These would be perfect. Perhaps a little large against standard 28mm, but that wouldn't be bad for such enemies

They all look stunning and that price level is unbelievable!

Hopefully they'll be stocked here in NZ, otherwise I may look on ebay or even UK stockist (cheaper from there than the USA in postage)

What are their shipping costs like to the UK?

Interesting, thanks for the heads-up.

Woah, Shipping is only 6USD to New Zealand? Looks like I know what I'm going to get

Without Ferro and Spunkmeyer it is not a complete set...what are they thinking

Thanks. They don’t look too much off. Probably if they were put on the same bases, they might be similar enough to use next to each other.
