They'd have to hire for 5 sculpts instead of 3, leading to cost
increases. It might be worth the investment if they expected you
to buy 5 of any given unit, but really it seems they plan around
a player getting 1-3. Most players buy just 1 unit.
And I feel they have raised the bar over the years. They've
gotten better at distinguishing the character unit sculpts and
making it clearer which ones are which (or making it so that
it doesn't matter which models are which)., they're slowly
moving into plastics, and their resculpts of various character
warbeast/warjacks have been impressive.
Maybe someday we'll have 5 unique sculpts. Or maybe someday
they'll think to at least swap the goats that the druid riders
are riding so that they don't look completely identical at first

The one that bugs me are three man units where both grunts get the same sculpt.

Yeah, I hope we can swap the riders around. That way, even if the riders still have twins they at least could be on differently-posed mounts.

They're displayed, but they're locked. Like the Mercs section in War Room 1. Just checked and they were available with just the Cygnar deeck in WR1,
The bug report button says 'for bugs and inventory errors' so I emailed them on the chance this is just an oversight.
And just checked and Blaze and the Precursors are now unlocked. Looks like that bug report button works

I think PP consider duplicate poses a feature rather than a bug: it allows you to single out the leader more easily.
I say this is terrible and terrible and I wish this idea to die a short yet painful death and posable mini so that we can go wild!

It's not a feature for any aesthetic reasons, it's simple to keep costs down. Less poses means less time sculpting. Less molds to keep on hand. Less space storing the parts and products. It's annoying to me, but it is very much a cost saving issue.

Damn, well it looks like I will be waiting till August to update. At least it gives me time to save up....
Unless the release stuff my FLGS gets in includes one or two of the two player sets.

What I meant is that the new 2 player starter includes stormguard but they're not available in the app without buying the cygnar deck.

Durant looks cool.
Then again, Menoth has always had a lot of swag when it comes to their equipment.
Maybe Skrone can step up to their game?

These look great! I hope it doesn't mean that we can't use their 'lesser Warcaster' versions in the same game as them. I wish all the factions got generic 'Lesser casters/warlocks', so they didn't run into problems like that.
I also wish they'd do some more of the lesser warlock solo characters. The 4 we have are amazing, but more with even wierder custom creatures would be great. I'd also love it if they did the same with solo lesser warcasters. Some new people with a weird new jack or two, with the option of taking more merc jacks would rock! Right now, I think Magnus is the only one with an exclusive merc jack.

It will mean you can't use the journemen versions in the same game because they're the same character, unfortunately.

These are the Epic versions of the Journeymen so they can't be used together. Same with any Epic character. I don't think they're using the Epic title anymore though.
The Merc one won't be at GenCon though for some reason.

Hm. Something about that Aiakos sculpt just isn't doing it for me. It seems like the details are chunky (chain links, over-sized arms and hands) and generally too busy with the different types of armor he is wearing.
Are there background reasons he is outfitted the way he is? Seems like he is wearing different types of Cryxian armor from a War-witch's helmet to a Bane Warrior cod piece and then Bane Knight chain mail.

Does anyone have an idea when(date and time) the webstore will have the new stuff for those of us unable to attend? I really want the exclusive Skarre, and new Aiakos with the exclusive stuff, so don't want to miss out

They said they'd say a bit nearer the time.

Boob armour? Doesn't GW get flack over that? PP is indeed following the steps of GW.

I don't think boob armour is just a GW thing... Most companies female models sometimes have boob armour.

Yeah... I don't get the weird tension between hardcore GW and PP fans.
If it's a criticism, just criticize- you don't need to compare it to another line or fanbase. For instance, I think all of the new warcaster poses look stiff and/or awkward (period).
