I have the game but haven't played it yet. From what I've read it's a bit more difficult than Space Hulk and many people get it for the miniatures and not so much the board game. You can read more about it on Boardgamegeek: link |

I picked it up because I'm a sucker for all things Alien, Predator, or Terminator. Haven't played it yet, but I have mixed feelings about the minis. The sculpts are wonderful, but the plastic is insanely fragile. I've managed to break 5 of the 12 alien tails trying to glue them, or trim the flash from them. Once assembled and based, they should be ok as long as you move them by the base. For some reason it basically comes in a Monopoly box, so I'm not sure how they thought you were going to transport the assembled minis. |

rotscheck,the figures are resin, one reviewer did say as much that they seem fragile, this the kind of feedback I wanted. |

Miniatures are lovely, well sculpted and excellent representations of the film creatures but you must handle carefully like any resin. The Aliens and predators work with any 28mm as they were big in the films. The Prodos humans look like a basketball squad against normal humans as they're 32-35mm. |

Only the KS backers got resin. The mass production figures including the ones that come with the board game are all plastic. The plastics are not all that fragile. |
