Guild lineup. Reports of the tall, dark haired lady being Allison Dade from Through the Breach: In Defense of Innocence. Looks like new Guild/Death Marshalls and some sort of slave/captured.

Yeah, I've cooled a lot on these. They're not really doing much for me. Nice to see a character cross over from TtB.

They are very cute is what they are!

I like the "Death Marshal Recruiter" (The Guild needs YOU!) on the left, and the "Witchling Thralls" seem like they could be some kind of inhumane human bomb/sacrifice thing for Criid.

Not sure on the aged Death Marshall on the right though. Could be other other in a pair of Recruiters though. Got a bit long in the tooth for active duty so he has to recruit now?

Outcasts



Seems like the new things are the Swordsmen (Ten Thunders? Misaki's Final Blossom units?) and the Zombie pistoliers.

I'm hoping those zombie pistoleros are more Tormented for Jack Daw. He needs a more conventional ranged Tormented unit. Also, as someone on the official board said, it would tie in with his Curses,

Drowning Injustice - the Drowned.
Suffocating Injustice - the Hanged.
Firing Line Injustice - nothing yet. Pistoleros would fit.

Hoping the kneeling blonde is another "Sister" and need a couple of the journalist girls but not keen on the master (mistress?)

Arcanists,


I keep getting more and more interested in Sandeep (I hear he can hire the transmortis academics)

Oohhh... the Arcanists just got a lot more interesting. LXG (movie) Nemo interesting, to be precise.

The kneeling blonde is one of the 3 Bandidos that comes in Parkers starter. Likely not a sister. No minions have it, even Ronin, because of how powerful it is.

It's interesting to note that both the Guild and the Arcanists seem to have a similar woman writing something down. Perhaps they're related somehow?

Perhaps an Academic/Journalist cross-faction between Arcanists and Guild?

---

Other than that, looks like Guild has Deathmarshal-ish characters for Lady Justice and imprisioned spellcaster-ish characters likely for Sonnia.

Outcasts have swordsmen probably for Misaki and undead pistolers for maybe for Jack Daw?

Arcanists have Sikh warriors unmistakably for Sandeep and the previously revealed Carlos Vasquez perhaps for Kaeris. I'm really really hoping he's a Showgirl.

As someonewith a bunch of Guild stuff the only thing interesting there for me is the Death Marshal.

The pistol wielders on the left of the Outcasts pic are cool too.

Ten Thunders

Ten thunders stuff looks muy tempting

Are these just "new models in that book" compilation, or are these whole new sets? I know about new crew boxes.. Is it them + some other minis in-a-box?

It's just showing the new models for each faction in the book.

This Ten Thunders one is the coolest so far.

I really like the terracotta warriors, the sage, and the swordsman on kirin(?) I don't really play 10T but I might have to pick some of them up anyways.

I'll say this about the Ten Thunders- It certainly is nice to see something besides the typical Japanese influence on the figure choices.

I wish more companies would do more with Chinese fantasy.

Kind of surprised we haven't ever seen any wild and free Wudang swordsmen.

I guess I'm the only one not impressed with the Ten Thunders stuff. Oh, well. I'm glad they're connecting with other TT players at least. More time to spend with my piggies then.

Really like the Kirin. Not enough to start Thunders though.

But yeah, this one seems to be more mythological Asian stuff. If you wanted more samurai and ninjas and monks, then this book isn't going to be your jam.

I like the kirin too, but have a hard time seeing how its theme of defending the righteous/vengeance on the wicked sort of super-justice thing fits in with the faction of mobsters, evil monsters, and backstabbers.

Yeah, those Ten Thunders aren't inspiring me at all.

Like the terra cotta soldiers. Glad we at least see something not Japanese in 10 Thunders. I wish the influence was a little more spread out, as I feel its all ninjas/samurai/oni all the time... Sort of like how Yan-Lo, a Chinese master, has an all Japanese crew.

I thought all the various Ten Thunder "monks" were based on Chinese styling. Are they not?

Yeah, there's Chinese stuff floating about. Japanese mythology and history has definitely been mined more than Chinese and Korean though. Would be nice if Japan took a back seat for a book or two to let those shine.

Looking at how much is left to release in the upcoming year, and that the next book is adding 7 releases per faction, it seems Wyrd are gearing back on Malifaux releases. Even with some one off stuff like a story encounter or a Twised Alternates, we're not going to be seeing as many Malifaux releases each month.

Maybe The Other Side is coming sooner than expected? Also be nice to see some more miniature releases for Through the Breach. Nathan seems to have 'leaked' that they've done a Gremlin multipart kit. Would be nice to see the same for a Neverborn book (I know there's some Nephilim heads in the current human kits, but some full on Neverborn multiparts would be amazing) and a Thunders kit for their book, though those are obviously quite a long time coming.

Like the ones in the Outcast preview?

Sigh :( the resurrectionists seem to get the most boring release...

Look great to me. Probably my second favorite behind 10T.

The masked thing with the sword and spirits all over it could be an interesting model. Don't remember seeing that before. Looks rather large too.
