The only problem I see with the rooms is that they all have one entry/exit point so unless they have a air duct connected to them they are dead ends, it would have been nice if one or two of the room had a 2 or 3 entry/exit points. Their are 5 more sheets of card in the box 3 of which contain “room” tiles (4 square and 2 round) and some other floor tiles,as well as a number of counters. Their are 8 sheets, 2 of which are “hive” tiles and the other 6 are “plain”, they are a few millimetres thinner than the ones found in Space Hulk. The “red” side has no rules attached to them at the moment, but it has been mention that at a later date rules will appear for them. Next we have the floor tiles and air ducts the sheets are double sided (pictures above show both sides) but the tiles cannot be “mixed” together. The lack of “painted” models in the book (and on the box itself) may lead to new players not knowing where to start, as not everybody knows about the AvP “universe”.
It does feature some nice art work but my main gripe is the lack of pictures of the actual models in the set (4 to be exact) one of which is the KS exclusive predator berserker. Next we have the rule book, weighing in at 64 pages and printed on thick glossy paper. Each card measures 64 x 83mm and has the corners rounded the same as a deck of playing cards. Bottom row left to right Marine (5), Predator (3), Alien (2) stat cards. Top row from left to right Mission cards (20), Marine Cards (20), Alien cards (20), Event Cards (20) and Predator Cards (20). The 3 packs of cards brake down into the following. Underneath are the card floor plans and counters. Inside are 3 packs of cards, the rule book and a card box with the models in. So it’s been a long wait, but AvP has finally turned up! its has taken 12 days to get to me from Poland after being stuck in Calais for 4 days! But has it been worth the wait? well they say a picture is better than a thousand words, so lets have a look.įirst up we have the box, now its a nice heavy weight box, its not the thin card that GW use for their boxes, it is however the same quality as the Space Hulk and Execution Force games from GW.
