I heard the scale might also be a bit different for the board games, highlord?

But yeah, as a minions player I'll certainly be keeping an eye on it

I would think the scale would be the same? Since many of the Undercity sculpt built off of existing WM/H sculpts. I was put off by all the repeat sculpts in UC too. I wish they had kickstarted that and got new sculpts and less repeats.

**highlord tamburlaine**

Drat.

I was bummed to see on PP's own forum that they're sticking to "industry standard" plastics like they used in Undercity.

Since when in bendy rubber stuff standard?

That's a bit of a damper. Guess we'll have to see what kind of price point they want to put this thing at.

Hell, maybe a stretch goal will be to put the stuff into harder plastic. I'd take their PVC over bendy guys any day, and as a troll player, the amount of work I've already put into those big blue guys... that's saying something.

Have to say I'm dissapointed with all the whining trollblood players. I've been on ebay, BSS forums and facebook groups all day and have only seen one troll set put up.

Come on guys, I want some cheap trolls!

I know, right? I have half an eye out as I have wanted to play Calendra out of tier for a long time. Like a blue eMorvhana, right? But sadly, I am not seeing cheap armies for sale :( Hell, I would take a significant percent of retail if they were just pre-cleaned to a good standard

*Innocently wanders into the PP Troll forum* You know..... I heard they were thinking of getting rid of one random fell call....

*Runs off to ebay*

Meh. If I'm interested in it I'll wait until it's 75% off on a MM clearence sale like the rest of their board games.

Nailed it.

**Henshini**

PP needs to hire someone to add a preorder section to their website. PP certainly doesn't need to give 10% of their sales to KS for no reason.

**malfred**

The bendy miniatures are there for the pure boardgame
players who aren't going to foam their minis. Or that's how I
understand it. Your typical plastic miniature breaks when
tossed in a box.

**highlord tamburlaine**

How well do bendy board game figures take to paint?

Better/ worse than Bones?

I'd imagine it would be of similar quality.

I've been wanting to paint up my Unleashed stuff as it is...

I shall remain hopeful for some metal or resin add ons.

Tactics at least offered metal figures as add ons, right?

**Nostromodamus**

Tactics had metal minis, yes.

**anab0lic**

Damn, these are some nice looking minis. I find a lot of the old PP minis very hit and miss, but as of late I really like nearly everything they are putting out.... seems like PP have really stepped up their game... do they have new sculptors in the company? Definitely will be picking up some of these later in the year.

I don't like quite a lot of the older models but the new ones I like pretty much everything... It makes it really difficult for me to pick factions because I don't like whole factions, I like all the new models for every faction -.-

**highlord tamburlaine**

That's why I end up buying all the new models with no regards to factions.

They're just cool models and a lot of fun to paint.

Eventually something will get used in one game or another...

Bendy figures paint up fine. You just risk cracking the paint because the figures bend.

This is a big reason why I've never been able to get into Warma/Hordes. But I will say quite a few of their most recent things are quite good.

I got into it, I just have far too many models from different factions haha. I've barely even played the game yet! I'm a sucker for a pretty model.

**Sining**

I've gotten quite a few of PPs attempts at boardgames. Level 7, high command, undercity and they're all lacking something that makes them enjoyable boardgames imo. As such, I won't be backing their latest KS.

**highlord tamburlaine**

I'm in agreement over Privateer's board game quality.

Conceptually, they are all very sound, but they all end up just missing the mark. It always seems to be one or two things that drag it down from being a serious contender.

I'll give them credit for keep trying new things at least.

The kiss of death for me will be whether or not they decide to put in some sort of random scenario generator a la Warhammer Quest.

What a great way that would be to get me to use all my Warmahordes models!

We have yet to see a real contender to WHQ's system of randomness, and it still seems to be something that a lot of KS backers are clamoring for.

Not sure if PP wants to travel down that road though.

I'd love that. Plus it would open up a new market of sales of their war gaming minis to boardgame players. Might be best to wait until they've moved past their restic though. If we hate that stuff can't imagine the boardgame enthusiasts reaction.

Someone did a comparison video of the PP boardgame models and FFG models.

Not bad, but generally not quite as well (and i'd undercoat them when I don't undercoat bones)

I think I ll get those and do some minor conversions to use them as wyrdvane psykers for my IG. Really nice models.

**novaspike**

Whoever was asking about Cryx: Mobius is a character bloat thrall solo coming out. Rules are up in war room.

**jonolikespie**

So plenty of new stuff discussed on the recent Primecast, copying and pasting a write up I saw:

Malachus, the Burning Truth
PoM Warcaster, Priest of the Incindium
Feora's left-hand minister of propaganda
Inspired by Cleansers and Kingpin from Daredevil

Broadside Bart-like influences his BG and gets more flames out of his warjacks

Ragnar Skysplitter
Trollkin Runeshaper warlock
One of the largest trollkin warlocks
2-handed maul made from a shattered krielstone
Scrolls on his back, gesturing up to the air
Makes explosive earthquakes
Rival to Doomshaper

Major Maddix, female warcaster
Stormknight warcaster
Small-based, BIG sword
Can shoot lightning from her sword as well
Protectorate POW, captured during invasion of Sul, released later

Bane Witch Agathea
Bane caster, buffs herself?
Spent time in the void
Grim Reaper as a hot woman, floating up on a skirt of souls, scythe/pole-axe
Angel-wings for her turbine
Gaspy-tall, but narrow.
Kaya2-like feat: yo-yo for battlegroup.

Tannith the Feralsong
Circle Warlock, Disciple of Wyrmwood
Staff weapon made of blades and the roots of Wyrmwood
Looks more like a blackclad, flowing cloak
Antithesis of Kaya - not nice to her beasts
"Circle Enforcer"
Cryx-like offensive magic

Magister Helena

Some Vyre Force-manipulation techniques

Beastmaster Zakaar

2016: "The Year of the Gunmage"
Satyxis Gunsligners
Thorn Gunmages (Amethyst Rose) - assassins of the Llaelese resistance
Caine3 - connected to the B13 (late 2016 release)

You may begin your speculating, whining, celebrating, etc.

**plastictrees**

Stormknight caster could be fun. Are all the 'storm' infantry still outclassed by merc options?

**novaspike**

Satyxis pistoleers. I fanboy peed a little.

**Nostromodamus**

Caine3 Warlock Character Unit with the B13 in tow?

**highlord tamburlaine**

Does that mean the B13 finally get resculpted, or is Caine into conscripting children to do his shooting for him?

**jonolikespie**

I was thinking that might just mean connected fluff wise.

Also has anyone else noticed the Bloat Thrall Overseer Mobius preview in No Quarter 64 has a quote under it's name from Litch Lord Mortenebra.

Sounds like someone got a promotion, and I'm wondering if that will come with a new model.

**novaspike**

My friends and I were wildly speculating about that.

It almost seems like they'll be 2 casters each in the next book, so why not Morty2 qnd the Bane Witch?

Is he really worth it? I guess not.
