How is this POSSIBLE?. Plastic models are cheaper?? Then why are plastic GW models more expensive? I sense a disturbance in the force.

They've got Kirai and her spirits, which are obviously asian themed, and like Kroothawk said there are the Ten Thunder Brothers.

I don't think we're going to see a "anime" influenced faction, if Wyrd does an asian themed faction, I think it'll be more rooted in the realm of reality and history with a few gubbins added to it to make it fit. The 10T Brothers are a perfect example of this.

**Grot 6**

That uh... flesh golum is laughable, compared to Mr Chomps, or Killjoy.

That Set of the city stuff keeps getting better and better.

What exactly are those miners, uh... mining?

All in all there are a few turds in the wheat, but other then a couple, the range is shaping up great. Impressed with the story line, and how the miniatures enhance the story.

Need to get back in on this one before I miss the helltrain.

Great range and keeps getting better. I'm really interested in Molly getting her own crew.

Cool!

**Kroothawk**

I added a pic of Lenny to the latest release post. BTW Lenny is a reference to the John Steinbeck novella "Of Mice and Men".

**spiralingcadaver**

Hmm, not sure about the face, but, otherwise, that looks really nice. A little curious why they went with a regular pig instead of the malifaux look for pigs...

**Alfndrate**

Yeah, the addition of the regular pig seems odd... I was really surprised they didn't give him a giant bunny instead.

Malifaux wise it makes sense because Gremlins go hand in hand with pigs, but Lenny wants a whole farm of bunnies George

I rather like the miners. They are haracterful enough to be appealing yet generic enough to be just "Miners". They're the grunts of the MS&U (Miners and Steamfitters Union) that is so heavily focused in the Arcanists Faction and that Ramos is the leader of and that Collette and Kaeris are influential members of.

Either way, I'm a huge fan of non-master specific units, and the Miners fit perfectly.

My one gripe against Malifaux is that you don't really play "Factions", but you play "Masters". The forced synergy for masters and their affiliated minions is so strong that it's rare that you'll ever use a model otherwise unless it's amazingly good such as Deperate Mercenaries, Freikorps Trappers, Gunsmiths, etc.

**The Fragile Breath**

August is the strangest combination of "can't come soon enough" and "needs to be farther away", very much looking forward to these new Terraclips sets!

speaking of which, a correction from Wyrd:

WYR5072 - Lazarus (Plastic) - $18.00

**Absolutionis**

Hamelin has his Pied Piper Hat!

WYR5065 Avatar Hamelin $35.00

Not sure why his Avatar form comes with a chunk of rock forcing the base to be that much bigger, but it's a very nice model regardless.

**Garzini**

Stop showing me Dungeon rise stuff. i've just emptied my wallet on 40k....

**Kroothawk**

Seems like we get another Japanese themed undead faction. Wyrd just posted this wallpaper:

**Ozymandias**

Yeah! Ten Thunders Samurai Skeletons!

**Absolutionis**

And the cover of the next book courtesy of BOLS:

Models' art from LostBoysRadio:

Here's for hoping those Geisha-Assassins count as "Showgirls" and can be taken alongside my Collette!

I'm confused how this new faction will fit into the Four-Suits Four-Factions system of Malifaux, but I'm looking forward to it.

**Kroothawk**

Good thing I just stacked up my Japanese themed terrain:

http://www.johnjenkinsdesigns.com/japan.htm

**Absolutionis**

Well, thankfully it's not all Japanese.
New Wallpaper from Facebook:

It seems to be some Reptilian-blooded Martial Artist and a Giga-Bender of sorts alongside an already known Union Miner.

It's both a new faction as well as a new master for each existing faction. So my guess is that each faction will get new toys, and those new toys can also work with each other.

**spiralingcadaver**

Yep, the earlier one was clearly Resser themed, and this one's got tomes (arcanists) and clearly works in industry (M&SU).

I'm most curious about what the Guild and Outcast ones will look like-- Neverborn would probably be some sort of basic asian-influenced scary X,Y, or Z

**Absolutionis**

That makes a tremendous amount of sense. On second glance, that Union Miner has Asian-looking pants and footwear.

**Kroothawk**

Absolutionis wrote:On second glance, that Union Miner has Asian-looking pants and footwear.

What do you mean with second glance, when we are discussing all the Japanese themed new miniatures?

**Absolutionis**

I simply thought it was the current Union Miners which lack a full-colored illustration simply shoe-horned into that wallpaper. After all, the Wyrd Miniatures site background has the old "Hanged" illustration alongside a new Executioner art now.

**spiralingcadaver**

Mali's next wallpaper teaser. Not sure about the toothy thing, but like the rest.

Is that supposed to be the same purple as Hamelin's stuff? That's what it looks like (though it doesn't make a ton of sense), to me...

**Absolutionis**

Purple is usually associated with the Neverborn, and that thing on the right is likely a Neverborn.

The rest look like Arcanist Showgirls and some Resurrectionist?

Just stating the obvious here.

It's good to see the new book won't contain ONLY models/units/characters of Asian influence.

**spiralingcadaver**

I agree, it's just that pale purple is very distinct...

And yeah, I was also a little worried it would all be asian-themed

Wyrd has traditionally done all of our models the old fashion way, sculpt, mold, metal .. good to go! And it hasn't been bad for us at all. Unfortunately these last few years we've had to deal with rising metal costs as well as a horde of other issues that have for one reason or another caused us a bit of trouble that necessitated our move to plastic.

We found a fix to that and in doing so, we feel that we have seriously upped our game when it comes to quality, product and model options.

If you like our artwork, then odds are you're going to love the miniatures, as we've moved from traditional sculpting to digital sculpting and from metal to high detail hard plastic (this isn't your bendy stuff!). Below we've got a couple of shots to show you the progress from art to finished plastic product.

Oh, and the best part ... we're not raising our prices to do so. Better quality, more model options (heads, arms, weapons) at a better price.

WYR4056 - $40 - Dark Debts Box Set
WYR4057 - $11 - Mr. Graves
WYR4058 - $11 - Mr. Tannen
WYR4059 - $21 - The Depleted (3 pack)
WYR4060 - $16 - Beckoners (2 pack)

WYR5072 - $18 - Lazarus (this guy is more an action figure than a model I tell ya!)

Just a few of the things that'll be making their way to Gencon with us next month. More to show off next week!

**kenshin620**

The plastic goodness is pushing me over the edge, I should really get into this game

**porkuslime**

I really like Mr. Graves and Mr. Tannen...

**SagesStone**

More goodness to come, hadn't seen this up yet so apologies if it is.
