AVP: The Hunt Begins arrived a day of ahead of schedule. It's gorgeous. The map tiles are moody and evocative, and they fit together perfectly to make all sorts of labyrinthine corridors. The images below depict only a fraction of the tiles included in the base set, and they also don't show the doors that stand upright and add a bit of three-dimensionality to the game board. As for the minis, they're beautiful, combat-posed sculpts with awesome terrain elements built right in. The plastic is a bit brittle -- one poor alien had the end of his tail snap off, but I remedied the situation easily with some Citadel glue. Helpfully, the box includes a foam storage area with cutouts for each model; it's a snug fit, however, so there's a risk of breakage any time you're removing minis from the foam. I may want to think differently about long-term storage for these guys.
I haven't had a chance to delve into the rules, cards, or other components yet -- this box is packed! -- but I wanted to share some preliminary photos of the amazing miniatures and tiles.
