I think you mean "Stay weird Japan". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wany%C5%ABd%C5%8D

Side note, can it would be nice to see TT draw from something OTHER than Japanese mythology. The three kingdoms are actually Japan, China and Vietnam, not that you'd know from their offerings...

Release is in March, apparently.

There's a couple, like the Penanggalan, but its definitely largely from Japan.

Like the Aussie in Rising Sun?

What faux needs are some kyonshi/ jiangshi already for TT and Rezzers. With a Taoist priest with a bell to wrangle them all together.

Yes. Malifaux absolutely needs hopping vampires.

Not really... there's a good number of outside images and sources for this one.

Wow! That town set looks great! I'll be interested to see how much it costs, but I'm definitely intrigued.

$60us. It's on the ad.

No, they said the town set.

Oh, right. In that case I think it's your home and your first born.

Nathan said they wouldn't be charging 'an arm and a leg for it. Maybe a finger and a toe' (his wording). Though they are aware of what they're in competition with - the Realm of Battle Board and Secret Weapon Tablescapes. It's a luxury item in a hobby, so it's going to be a bit pricey.

My guess is the tiles will be roughly on par with Secret Weapon (theirs are $80 for 2x2 or $200 for 4x4, so somewhere in there, maybe $200 since the tiles are a lot chunkier). Buildings, I'm guessing the big one will be by itself with about crew box pricing (about $50us). The smaller modular buildings will be a 2 pack (they said these are modular, so giving enough parts to make 2 singles, a two story, etc). Probably crew box pricing again, maybe higher end Encounter box ($50-$70us, depending on how much is in it - they mentioned alternate roofing).

I want a grave golem.

Wyrd has this as their banner on Facebook. It appears to be the Ten Thunders half, minus the Wanyudo (we already know the Wanyudo is the flaming wheel).

Not been interested in TT, but that looks pretty damn cool.

They showed the Ressurectionist side minus the grave golem as their Monday preview too:



And at GenCon last year they had the grave golem and wanyudo sculpts:

That Grave Golem is taller than Lord Chompy Bits, geez.

Um, the grave golum is a bit.... meh. Hope it was an early test.

That looks like a Marshmallow Golem!

...and a melted one at that.

S'more Golem?

I like the grave golem, even though it doesn’t have much texture on the muddy bit (but I find that with a few of the Wyrd plastics).

I get the feel they're going for with the grave golem, but there's a couple of others on the market already that significantly outshine what they've shown. (Reaper's latest round of Bones and Spinespur's Grave Golem, whenever Rebel Minis brings it back)

Wyrd's stuff is often a lot more textureless than I expect. Posing is great, but a lot of stuff is pretty flat and in need of a superior painter to bring it to life.

Agreed, their stuff has really suffered in general since the move to 3d sculpting and plastic. No scales, cloth texture, etc. But at least a goblin mullet will be in 3 pieces lol.

The grave golem is a weak, bland sculpt. Reaper's bones one looks better, and that's BONES man...

Holy crap that is awesome!

I'll end up getting that boxed set just because the other models look really cool, especially the 10T ones.

Wyrd's larger models have always been more miss than hit for me. I've had to find proxies for the Rail Golem, Arcane Emissary, Ashes&Dust, Blessed of December, and Envy because I absolutely loathe those models. Thankfully their smaller human-sized models have almost always been great.

I'm sure I'll get the box also, but if the grave golem is anything like the image before I think I'll get the Reaper one and sell the original.....unless I can find a suitably large Weeping Angel mini.

There's a Monday preview of the Ten Thunders side of the set.

The Katashiro are origami creations, and are both Construct (drop scrap) and Oni (more fun for Asami). Minako Rei can also summon them, and she herself has a defensive Kharma ability that makes an opponent suffer the same damage she suffers.

Very Kubo and the Two Strings. I LOVE IT!

And now we have Backdraft, Arcanists vs Gremlins. Gremlins include the long awaited Whiskey Gamin.
