The first image you have under Malifauxis actually from The Other Side. It’s a Stalking Portal.

Second last under Malifaux is an old model - Hannah from the TTB Kickstarter. Last is from their upcoming board game, Bayou Bash.

**Absolutionis**

EDITED. Not familiar with TOS; looked unfamiliar to me with regards to Malifaux.
Also the site noted two of the Giraldez painted figures were from TOS.

It's interesting to note that Kickstarter Hannah is being showcased at GAMA. Perhaps we'll finally have her available as an alt sculpt along the lines of Nekima and such. No more need for Hulk-Smash Hannah?

The Wyrdscapes terrain looks like it has a lot of unnecessary interior plastic parts. Textures are fine, but I worry for the cost.

**-Loki-**

They said during the Kickstarter that the sculpt t was exclusive to the Kickstarter. I don’t see them going back on it.

They generally take a grab bag of random unpainted models anyway.

**Absolutionis**

But why are they showcasing Hannah when it's clearly no longer available? It's not like they're bringing a studio model or anything because she's missing her book and there's a lot of ugly plastic shards all over the place. Someone seems to have hurriedly constructed this model and lost the book.

**-Loki-**

Because, again, they usually bring a bunch of random unpainted minis, new and old.

**Breotan**

I wonder how closely this new plastic terrain matches the old Warhammer Fantasy chapel/tower terrain? I'd love to see how well this works for a Mordheim table.

**Mysterio**

I...want all the terrain - wow!

**Hanksingle**

Wow, the terrain is gorgeous...but I also feel like I'm looking at a minimum of a $1000.00 for that board and those buildings, and part of me thinks I might even be a little naive.

**malfred**

If the prices are right, I'll buy the terrain.

Given the gak show that the KS was, and how it let so many down, I don't see what one more broken promise is lol. The existing Hanna model sucks. They can re-release the KS one in colored plastic if they want to skirt the issue.

**porkuslime**

Terrain looks ripped right out of Nightmare Before Christmas, which is a good thing for me..

**Mysterio**

Do Wyrd miniatures tend to be more towards the 32mm side of things, or closer to the 28mm side of things?

**spiralingcadaver**

The newer the kits are, the larger. A lot of the first couple waves of plastic are much thinner and smaller than most of their line.

Also, if you're trying to match something to another game, their kneeling or otherwise not standing models tend to be vastly oversized: there's at least a couple that are probably in the 40-45mm range when others in the same unit type are around 30.

**Mysterio**

Ah, thanks!

I'm just thinking about using this new terrain for other game systems.

It will fit Steampunk games perfectly, and will (hopefully) be on the 'affordable' side.

And not being MDF-type stuff is a plus too, of course.

**spiralingcadaver**

I think for your purposes the terrain should work very well; hopefully the price will be right.

Oh, and FWIW Wyrd bases are 30/40/50mm, so presumably their terrain will be designed around those sizes.

The large house looks gorgeous; I'd be all over that kit if it's a reasonable price.

**Mysterio**

Good point - those bases look great too!

Wyrd Easter Sale
https://www.wyrd-games.net/news/2018/3/20/march-newsletter

Easter Alt Viktorias

Bob Ross Alt Slop Hauler

Plus Alt Lazarus for $100 or more.

---

I kinda wish Vik of Ashes had her gun in some manner.

**-Loki-**

Bob Ross Slop Hauler is great.

**highlord tamburlaine**

I'm surprised those Easter models are going to be in metal. That seems like a step backwards.

I'd have preferred plastic, or maybe even the board game PVC they keep toying with.

Why metal? And they aren't exactly cheap for what they're asking!

Still want that new Lazarus despite all that...and yeah, I'm annoyed the Viks don't have any guns between them.

**Nostromodamus**

Terrain looks perfect for Twisted

Nathan answered this on the Wyrd forum.

Because I like getting my toes dipped back in the early days to play around.

Because I could.

Because I was curious again about metal and some other things I'm messing with.

And because even more bluntly, I've got my plastic people up to their eyeballs between finishing up TOS, continuing with Malifaux, knocking out the new Wyrdscape - and I don't need to add on top of it at the moment.

It was a bit nostalgic to go through the process of cuts and having metal in hand again - and the damn slivers of little metal everywhere.

**insaniak**

I have absolutely no use for that terrain, but I want it all.

Support your fellow Australians and get into Twisted! - 'problem' solved!

Well, metal molds are cheaper, and can handle undercuts better. Not that we see any discount from the cheaper mold... or an increase in texture or detail to take advantage of the material.

Hopefully they wont be needlessly complex in assembling at least.

The resin they used for the Festivus tree would have been great. The PVC is roughly on par w early seasons of zombicide, so would have been a step down from all choices.

**Boss Salvage**

Tempted by the Viks + quasi-release of proper Lazarus. Need to figure out what else to flesh that gang out with. Luckily have a week to figure out what to spend $65 on for ready-for-bunnification Outcasts ...

I'm not sure how much effort it would take, but Marlena Webster is awesome with the Viks and could probably be mounted on the wabbit.

**Boss Salvage**

Ah! And she's just about in theme as is

Wonder if her release will make it into the sale window, would happily pick up.

Also having never built Vik lists, I'm finding a lot less fits in there than I expected. So many upgrades, so few soul stones

EDIT:

Ashes - Fury, Spirit, Synchro
Blood - Mark, (1SS)
Lazarus - (1SS)
Marlena - (1SS)
Ronin

5SS

Bam? So many delicious 1SS upgrades in Outcasts <3

**Desubot**

My body is ready for those Easter models.

**LunarSol**

Yeah the Viks are very spendy, but then again, your opponent generally only gets to play with about 30 SS after the first turn, so I guess it balances out.
