Did you just make a Brexit Joke? Too soon man, too soon.
It is a very cool design. I like this part from Antenocitis website

wink, wink.
And it is currently 10:30am in the UK. Where is today's video, BoW guys? Burning daylight. C'mon.
Am I the only one who was hoping that the playmat with Red Veil would be 2'x4', or a set of 2 2'x2' mats, instead of the 2'x3' mat?

Which is hilarious...because GenCon is August.
"July" releases will pretty much become available to the general public in the middle of the next month anyways. That's usually the case.
GenCon is August 4th, the beginning of August. GenCon people will still get their stuff earlier than anyone else.
Automatically Appended Next Post: New videos from BoW. Seems to be tutorials on stuff most of us already know.

Sure, it's great that people at GenCon and Interplanetario(August 25th) get their Red Veil and Musashis early.
But that shouldn't come at the expense of a month's(possibly two month's) worth of releases just for some dumb "exclusivity" for a pair of conventions.

Eh... on the other hand, remember how much GenCon / Icestorm screwed with the release schedule when that happened?
They're probably just trying to avoid that.
So many games, so little time.
So many models, even less time.
Screw it, Netflix and chill.

They've had years to deal with that issue. It wasn't GenCon that caused the issue; it was Icestorm and Infinity week on BoW.
Turns out when you have a big blogsite like BoW plugging your hot new release...people actually will buy it!

2 boxes and 3 blisters, and those 2 boxes are starters, so 12 models. That's 15 models, one of which is an S5 heavy. That's more than they do in any given month.

July releases are the GenCon stuff? usually July releases would be available in August anyway. I don't see a problem, at least if everyone else gets the pre-orders of Red Veil in August as well-- unlikely as that may well be. It'll be 3 releases instead of 5, but Red Veil is quite a mega-release.
Yeah, I think this is a lesson learned from Icestorm. I hear they have been careful about growing too fast, and suspect that their production capacity is larger than in 2014, but not that much larger. I wonder how many pre-orders they are expecting?
Those Dire Foes would be a nice release for August (Sept. availability), as a follow up to Red Veil. Will they get a BoW video this week?
The Pan-O and Nomad starters were released individually in Jan 2015, 4 months after Icestorm. Maybe we'll see the Yu Jing and Haqq starters in Jan 2017?
And you a member of the Commonwealth. What would your Queen say?

I however, am.
Warstore says normal retail is $107.94 (USD) and charging $86.99. Icestorm is the same retail price, but Wartsore is charging $89.99 for it, $3 more. Wonder why?

If you think that they're producing them in July; you're out of your mind.
They need to have a number of them produced before the last week of July to attend GenCon. Then they need to ensure that they have more stock for Interplanetario.
And THEN they need to ensure they had stock for the actual release in September.

This is curious, since Red Veil has that Al Fasid, which ought to increase the price. I'm not reallly warming up to that mini though, but those Yu Jing figures ares starting to look interesting to paint... That Ninja, the pose reminds me of a bronze cast from the ancient world... or a hood ornament.
I thought it interesting that there is a short painting guide in the Red Veil book. A nice touch. In the photo the mini was primed black though. Boo! (Yes, I know, Angel will use black primer. His eyes are still young. He needs to get off my lawn. Now.)
MM's Deal of the Day for Icestorm was $60. That was 11 May this year. Noted as a reference point For those (in the US) thinking to wait and grab Red Veil at a deep discount.

2'x3', same size as the icestorm mat, to judge from the videos we've seen.

Not an insomniac then? Lucky you.
Pre-order it and think of the price difference as the cost of that Yuan-Yuan. (About ~$26-$30 it seems. For a mini that would normally sell for ~$12 at the MM)
I'm trying to use the cost as an excuse not to get the box. Not sure I'll pass the WIP check on this one though.

Good thing I saw your post on this because I never would have realized I bought N3:Human Sphere instead of N3, 5 days ago. Thankfully I got to correct that with the deal of the day...WOOT!
