thanks for the pictures ...Amazing!

They do look pretty interesting. Thinking that they will lean more towards the RedBlok type larger unit more shhoty types but meh accuracy.

8000AP of this is going to make my wallet suffer, but it must be done.

Makes you re think how much admech would cost if this was FW , or even normal GW huh?
all hail O.N.I

Well if it was Forgeworld I wouldnt buy. As for regular Games Workshop, normally I get their stuff by means other than retail.

Still as a full retail army, it will be an expensive one. Though I will be including a minimum of two army boxes, and possibly three under the circumstances. If we cont subsequent army boxes as being worth 1500AP after the repeat hero is taken off I will have a 5000AP army.

If and when I need to cheat I will cheat. I might convert up some WW! minitures for the stock infantry to take the edge off the cost. It all depends on what is in the list.

Think all army boxes are roughly 2000 AP...
Hopin for some kind of whacked out ninja type hero too
BTW nice Mentat reference Orlanth

Ahh dreams, honestly I dunno the heroes of Oni, but one is called Baron Samedi, that makes me drool

The zombie master himself, why not.

Rackham probably know better than to try and TM it.

They spelled different SAmedy or such and such

They dont need to play switcheroo with the name either, its 'traditional' and noone can claim exclusive use of it.

But if its Samedy rather than Samedi, well whatever.

I wonder if he has a Limo.

Im no lawyer so i have no clue if someone may or may not have TM it but let me try to think were I read it....

The name is part of Voodoo culture, and is folklore/religion. Baron Samedi is as public domain as Noah and Robin Hood.

There are plenty of examples of Baron Samedi in popular culture, the one that springs most to mind in the popular media is the depiction in Live and Let Die.

Now this doesn't stop games companies triying to add a TM to a traditional icon, but as with GW trying to trademark Baal and Abaddon (both names from the Bible) they fall down flat when they do. Such trademarks are indefensible unless the characterisation is also copied from an original. So you can have an Abaddon demon, or a wizard, in your game and GW can do nothing about it. But an Abaddon possessed power armoured super soldier might be suspect.
This is why GW dropped many odf its trademark claims, a good example being Avatar. they can defend Avatar of Khaine, but not Avatar. Hinduism got there first.

Yeah, i understood before you wrote it, I was trying to remember where i read Rackham's Baron Samedi to check spelling

double post

Byron Samedi.

And someone else gets the limo, Samedi rides the Saturday Night Fever.

However Luna might have linked from a thread with typos.

No actually thats it.... thats right

Also, Samedi isn't the Zombie Master.

Zombie Masters are a Unit Specialist for Zombies that give the unit Corruption to all their weapons.

In the game rules perhaps, but Samedi is the zombie master in voodoo from where the name is obviously taken.

Is the minature a fat black man?

Yes, I know. I'm FROM New Orleans.

No, it's a Zombie TacArm.

The new Game Trade Magazine, #115, Sept '09, has a two pictures of Oni unit box contents. Sorry, I don't have a scanner to share them, but most local US game shops should have a copy or two by now.

The pics are of the Virus Zombie Detonator unit box, which look like the guys in the army box with bombs for hands, and Daimyo John Priest and Limo. The limo is the Army box AFV with the Grazer, but painted dark gray. John Priest appears to be wearing a black trenchcoat and armed with what looks like a sonic pistol or rifle in one hand and something else in the other; the picture is too small to make out much detail.

There is also a write-in contest in this issue with prizes consisting of a Cogs, Red Blok, and Oni army box.

Regards,

V

hmm, maybe that is him. Platuan does John Priest look like a Commissar with a P-90?

Its actually... Neil Patrick Harris!

Yes, that is Priest on the box/book cover, even though you can't see his head. Also, the shirtless Zombie with the gun arms(standing next to Priest) is Samedi.

Soooo .... are they an evil corperation ...... or some kinda zombied up cobra-ish army bent on world/universal domination???

Personally I like the armored cars.... they'd be good transports.

Seriously were's my APC's. I'm gett'n killed out here.

Hey! I'm Canadian! What the.

Heh, interesting cover. All these techno-zombies, then a hot redhead.

Eh, she's probably another zombie, a pretty one, but hyped up on super zombie juice granting a buxom body and completely insanity.
