Oh wow. That's a lot.

Seems like a mixed bag of whether I personally like it or not. If anything, I enjoy the stoic metal Von Shill and the ominous metal Kirai better than the action poses they're showing here.

Regardless, the previews give us enough time to get the mtal model before the plastics replace them.

Zoraida looks very very different. She almost looks gremlin-like over there.

That's exactly why I went out and got as much of the metal Kirai stuff as possible when the artwork was shown. it really doesn't do it for me, action pose killer gardner isn't really how I see her, but each their own I guess. Sadly some of the metal stuff, including kirai as far as I've seen, have been difficult to get by for some time now.

I'm wondering what the other 16 kits will be, this might hurt if there's lots of rezzer and or TT stuff in it. I hope they will have Molly up for gencon aswell, the last Rezzer master I'm waiting for to finish that collection. Is there any definitive news on what the miss will be by the way? I'm glad the Nightmare edition is the Golem as it saves me some money

With the dreamer out aswell though, itš going to be hard to resist plunging into neverborn aswell, must ... resist...

Hoooray, Lucius in plastic! Time to set aside some cash.

Out of interest, how long do these generally take from preview to release?

Some sets that were available at Gencon 2013 were not available at retail until 3/4 months after the event. So it can take some time.

Yeah, but how long is YOUR paint queue? I know mine is technically much longer (3-4 years of back log at least lol). I've always seen little reason to buy anything beyond the nightmare + whatever X amount required to get me to the $100 threshold for the "Miss" figure since you pay more than you can get elsewhere and get gouged for shipping too.

Golem looks good, as does the new Chompy, who appears to be similar to the Nightmare one. Can't stand the new hyper Kirai or Molly, and the new Collette art is just fething terrible. Lets take a showy stage magician/showgirl and put her in a boring, no frills dress! Get the metal ones while you can... in general the plastic masters all kind of suck. Almost no personality in their faces since they went to a more true scale style.

@Bossk_Hogg: Yup, my painting queue is a hell of a lot longer than that. Myself, Paradigm and other UK fans also have to consider the postage cost, possible import tax and additional post Gencon waiting time as Wyrd are still relatively small and take a fair time to get their orders sent out given the volume that they will receive.

I'm certain I'll be waiting until I can get it from Wayland at 20% off. One for Christmas, maybe

I have plenty more to paint in the mean time...

From one of the earlier posts, we have the art for a Performer and a Fire Gamin. Maybe Kaeris and Collette will be there. Also, Nekima's 3D sculpt was shown.

If anything the rest of the kits may just be the 3-ofs with Freikorpsmen, Gremlins, etc.

**-Loki-**

Looks like the rest of the 16 are finishing off wave 1.

**Mathieu Raymond**

If the rest of the Kirai box are cool, I'll get it, but I am not digging her new pose at all. I'll be keeping the old one as my master.

**cincydooley**

No Colette makes me a bit sad.

I'm actually pretty disappointed in the Miss for this year. I like the teddy model, but he doesn't really seem to fit with the previous Misses.

If you go to the Wyrd page in guardpiper's post, you can click on the name of the box and see both front and back, which shows you all the models in it.

**Mathieu Raymond**

Thanks, I'd skipped that bit. Ermagerd I gotta have that new Ikiryo. More seishin. It's more seishin.

That chick is getting a hand swap and she'll be used for something else. Lost Love too. I'm not too keen on the new sculpt. I think the old one held more horror.

**Breotan**

I like the Wiskey Golem even though I don't collect goblins. The teddy as a Miss is disappointing though. Haven't all the previous Miss(es) been alt sculpts of Santanna?

**cincydooley**

We had a steambot chick, an alt nurse, an alt.....mercenary swordsman? And then Santana.

No, not at all. The first Miss was a Nurse for the REsurrectionists. The second a Death Marshal (looks like Santana) for the Guild. The third an Executioner for the Arcanists. This one being a Neverborn flows well.

**-Loki-**

Except for not being noticeably female. It's a big teddy bear.

Yeah. You're missing the mercenary one.

I guess it's a girl teddy bear.

**Gertjan**

Miss Demeanor, wasn't she the 2nd miss model after miss pack? I can remember being a bit dissapointed when she wasn't randomly added to box sets like miss pack.

Indeed, she's who I want to jump into arcanists with.

**ImAGeek**

Yeah I'm gonna buy the Dreamer crew

he's Neverborn right? I quite like Zoraida too, which faction is she?

**Dheneb**

She's dual-faction Outcasts/Gremlins. Personally I was hoping the redhead nurse would be a miss McMourning instead of the nth teddy, but what can you do?

There may be some changes due to last minute production and shipment -
if there are, we'll do our best to inform you as quickly as possible.

Woot! Hmmm... I could drop $135 on Storm Claw or Wyrd releases... Yeah... Wyrd is getting some money from me next weekend! Probably gonna get Lucius, Von Shill, and maybe the new book. Probably route the rest of my spending through my FLGS.

Plus I'm liking the new Miss. Didn't really like the stock Teddy , but this one I do!

Valete,

JohnS

**spiralingcadaver**

Hmm, not the most excited.

The samurai look really nice, and I'd probably be interested in the rules and the golem, but...

None of the crews wowed me, though I might get Zoraida since her new crew is pretty good (OTOH, I really wanted Ophelia's crew, but the whole thing together looks pretty static so I'll probably skip it now).

The teddy is disappointing for a few reasons, adding to problem with it not appearing female so bucking the trend, teddy's already gotten a LE sculpt that even came with a head swap and arm swap, so there are already 3.5 sculpts that without converting or reposing could make 6 unique versions of an already expensive (point cost) mini.

I'd really suggest getting the old Collette while you can. They drained all style and flair out of her. Now she just looks like a regular chick in a plain dress as opposed to a showgirl/stage magician.
