Saw this one on Muse on Minis fb

Is that Resin or Restic I wander, details look nice and krisp.

Probably a resin prototype

Looks like their new material that they used with Anson Durst. It's way better than the stuff they used before.

Anson Durst is resin and metal. They've definitely used resin before.

Yeah, they've had resin/metal hybrids for a while. The Colossals were all hybrids.

I'm guessing Doomy3 will be resin and metal too when he comes out proper. That photo is just the prototype test print.

There's also ABS (LEGO plastic). Wrath of Kings models are partially ABS (probably an ABS/PVC mix, really) and some recasters use it with good results. It's firmer and holds an edge better than PVC types, but can't be heat-bent.

Is that on a sprue, or does it come like PVC models?

My complaint for the Soul Trappers is the blister coming with two identical models, for something that a lot of people will want a full three blisters of. I think they definitely should have put two unique poses in there.

Denny3 being HIPS plastic seems weird because of how fast she's coming out. We've not seen most of the new Warjack kits from the book from last year reportedly because they're being made in the new HIPS, so for Denny to be coming out already from this book feels wrong and makes me doubt she's in the same stuff.

I honestly can't tell from the parts I have. Seems to have more in common with injection molding than spin casting, but I'm no expert.

Any idea if/when the Shredder plushy is going to be for sale online?

Anyone else loving the cosplay gator exclusive?

It'll still be available later, but it'll be on their usual limited thing where it's only at conventions or on their site during conventions. I do want a gatorlady but I've no funding at the moment so I'll have to get it later.

Yeah most limited stuff is available during GenCon, Lock and Load, and TempleCon. There may be a few others, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

Picked up the female Brute Thrall along with Gatorlady online

I don't know if they hit the website for it but they bring the figs to sell at Warmachine Weekend.

May actually be where I get my gatorlady come to think of it since I've got my ticket for that event already.

No spoilers of zaal2,the ex toller advocate and the glacier king?

That's a pretty nifty animus on that beast. That's the kind of thing that can catch you unawares if you're not careful with disastrous effect. Freeze on it's fists is also pretty awesome. ROF 3 at mat 3 with thunderbolt, yeah that's useful for messing up attack runs, and the crit effect is something to be wary of.


All in all a nice beast i think.

Oh neat! That feels a bit like the gator battle engine area denial effect, except 3" out... pretty sweet. I like that one quite a bit better than the mountain king. Given that trolls have knockdown possibilities (like eGrissel's gun) and the Impaler animus (+4" range) that is one scary gun, too -- 3 guaranteed shots with 16" range after the animus at POW 14, and boostable.

Basically feels like what the Mountain King should have been. Too late for me since I moved on from trolls, but still love it (and not overpowered or auto-include level, either, which is good)

Edit: Whoa, he's got a few interesting special rules, too. Pushing the enemy model d3" away with each ranged hit could be a bummer for keeping it in range for all the shots (but very nice for pushing another scary beast back a bit, several times even). And providing concealment to friendly models within 3"... that's really good, although was already previously provided by the Stone Scribe Chronicler.

Sideways pics Malfred?

For shame!

If you click it it will show properly, it's just one of those weird Dakka things.

Fair enough!

Malfred - shame partially removed/withdrawn!

Oh the wonders of cell phone photography
