068 - Storm of Shadows GenCon Releases Compilation

Just wanted to throw up all the GenCon preview pictures in one place, split by faction.


Guild

Only available as a free addition to every individual order over $100 made at GenCon or from the Wyrd webstore during GenCon (August 16th - 19th).
Likely to: Be the go-to first Death Marshall model hired in every Guild crew in the future.

Even rarer - good luck getting hold of this if you're not a Henchman! Only available to some Henchman who've done a specified amount of events to support the summer Dead Heat campaign.
Likely to: Cost the GDP of a small country to buy on eBay


Arcanists

A kindred spirit to Papa Loco and Pere Ravage, who definitely wins the prize for bringing the most explosives
Likely to: Survive very few games

 

The latest species Gamin, and an unexpected one - it's great that they're all individuals too. Now taking bets for Book5... Stone Gamin? Feather Gamin? Cheese Gamin?

Likely to: Combine into the Rail Golem at the first sign of trouble

One stonking great big Metal Gamin. Basically he's a walking train, and he seems deadly.

Likely to: Be able to look Nightmare Teddy eye to eye. Then headbutt him.

Until we find out what these guys can do, they seem a little generic. Hopefully Mei Feng has some unique tricks up her sleeve. The scenic base she comes with is incredible. Yay for plastic!

Likely to: Be everyone's second choice crew after Dark Debts

Neverborn

 

Dapper Master + Gigantic Totem + Gribbly Minions = Absolutely Sublime.

Likely to: Be the crew *every* opponent uses in *every* game you play for the next few months

Ever wondered what happens when a Mindless Zombie and a squid get it on?
Likely to: Leave a slimy mess trail.

A big bouncer type, so I'm expecting him to have some bodyguard type abilities. Looks nice and beefy.
Likely to: Have synergy with Mr Tannen

If I wrote his rules, the coin rolling on the back of his hand would mean I'd design some sort of ability involving 50/50 chance. Someone else wrote his rules though, so who knows.
Likely to: Have an ability involving 50/50 probability

Could these be the first models with (1) Lure that you could actually imagine yourself being lured by?
Likely to: Provoke a discussion on gender stereotyping on the Wyrd forums.


Outcasts

The second to last model to be released from Twisting Fates, and a very long anticipated release.
Likely to: Become Hoffman's new best buddy


Other

 

It's massive. It's very very cool. But will it get enough use for people to want to buy it at $80?

Likely to: Be used as two very expensive Alt Hanged models

066 - Fully Automatic

After languishing in my figure case half-finished for a couple of months, I've found some time to put the finishing touches to Ryle.

I only have a handful of Guild models at the moment, expanding the faction slowly to try and keep it 100% painted. Ryle gives my already very shooty Ortega crew even more in the way of ranged attack. I'm thinking something with a bit of melee punch is needed next. Executioner maybe...?

059 - Ortegas Assemble

Yesterday I put the finishing touches to my 5th complete starter box, adding Perdita to the list of Pandora, Seamus, Dreamer and Ophelia. Here's the gunslinging gal herself:

I'm especially pleased with the skin and face (unfortunately obscured by her hat) and the speed at which I got her painted - only 3 short sessions. You couldn't tell by looking, but her hat is actually cast from Greenstuff after I lost the original, from a mould kindly donated by Demonn Agram from the Wyrd boards (thanks mate!).

Here's the crew in full:

I have a few additions to paint up to get me to 35ss, including an Austringer and some Guild Guard. I'm also looking at the new Latigo Pistoleros for additional bodies and I'm looking forward to giving the crew some table time.
