Book 4: Storm of Shadows has all of the information about the 10 Thunders

About 2/5ths of the model range is available to buy. By the end of the month, 3/5 of the stuff should be out for the most part.
http://wyrd-games.net/shop/TEN-THUNDERS/

Though if you look under the Arcanists sections you'll find the Rail Golem, and Willie the Demolitionsist which were all released in Book 4

The shame of it is lies in that the Ten Thunders faction is made up of some very tasty models indeed! There is a very nice thread on Wyrd's site that has an overview of the several masters (some very nice chibi-esque art too!), including a link to the mind-boggling complexity of Mei Feng's combos;



They have the potential to be a very nice faction, and the people that have posted painted shots of the miniatures (I dunno how they have the Ten Thunders box) looks like the actual sculpts are quite faithful to the digital renders.

It's the rule of the internet that if Firearms or Japanese culture is involved, someone is going to complain that something is inaccurate and flip a kitten.

It's also a rule of the internet that someone will invalidate other peoples opinion by making it appear without merit.
And indeed no one said that they were wrong for misrepresenting JAPAN, there was merely confusion about the apparent lumping together of eastern asian, not only Japan. Confusion that has been answered pretty well.
No need to get pissy.

Not to be flip, but it's just possible that some people value their culture and don't like it when their thousands of years of cultural development are treated as having no more depth then a layer of yellow facepaint.

As a Japanese American who's pretty strongly connected with my roots, I feel that a lot of that stuff is blown out of proportion because of minority status, not because of specific cultural significance.

For instance, a few years back, with a Chinese woman played a Japanese geisha (without any background as a geisha!) and took a bunch of flak for it, she made the very valid point that there aren't many geisha out there at all, and, I don't remember the specific analogy, but the equivalent that Johnny Depp didn't need experience as a candy maker or pirate to play those parts. I doubt that anyone was offended when Ron Perlman played a French strongman, despite knowing essentially no French.


There are certainly tasteless means of ignoring culture or blending them together, which can easily cross the line into racism, but a decently fleshed-out alternative history in which multiple nations form political alliance that, through cross-cultural interaction, results hybrid culture is hardly the same as "Damn [see forum posting rules] names all sound the same!"

edit: thank you, forum filters, for completely obscuring that Apocalypse Now quote :/

Misaki was available on Wyrd's site during GenCon (because they kept telling those of us AT GenCon that she would be there, and she never showed )

But she'll be out to your flgs within the next week or so, and in Wyrd's webstore after the first of the year most likely.

Also again, not to pimp it again, but the Dakka Painting Challenge is offering a Misaki box .

I've got Jakob Lynch, and I love some of the fun things he can do, namely the 2 red jokers, and Dead Man's Hand

Yikes! Totally cold on these releases, if you take out the wyrd, malifaux logos I would assume it was works for other company and game and would stay away from it.
This style does nothing for me.

Alf, I dunno if you have experience with this but how possible is it to remove Mei Feng from the rails that she is posed on?

For reference, she is in a dynamic pose suspended in the air with some point of contact with the framework behind her.


I haven't seen a picture of what that framework look like behind her, so I dunno if she could be moved to a different type of base.

Mei Feng is completely separate from her base. There is a small notch on her foot where you're supposed to attach her to the exploding-wood base; you can choose not to.

Sorry Buzzsaw, I don't play Arcanists outside of Rasputina, so I don't have any experience with Mei Fang, but Absolutionis's pic should help you out more than I can lol.

For reference, Mei Fang's body is A-1 Like the steak sauce and the splintered wood is in the right hand corner (kinda hard to miss )
