Unless you want to gamble on it being available later on down the road...as a general release.
You shouldn't have to buy a bust just to get the mini. Not impressed. :(
And I'm a guy who ONLY wants the busts. Shape up Corvus.
This is something where they should follow the RPG Kickstarter. Initially you had to pledge at least for PDFs of the core book to be able to add on the miniatures. Eventually they did a miniatures only pledge.
They should do a level where you just get the 32mm O-Yoroi pilot. Can't hurt - might get a bunch of extra people pledge to get it.
Personally, I'll be pledging for one bust, probably Tarik, to get the 32mm pilot. I've got no interest really in painting up the bust, but I like the pilot model enough to pledge to get it. And if I'm getting a bust, I might as well get one for my faction.

It's also not the first to cross over. The ITS2017 Joe Turner is the same as the Joe Turner in the Bootleg Damaged Scarface, just in a different pose.

Okay so loads of people seem to be thinking about pledging just to get the 32mm O-Yoroi. I've looked into it and I may be able to buy them and redistribute.
As far as I can tell there aren't any customs charges but I'm guessing my package will cost more to ship. Apart from that it boils down to the price of the mini, postage and packaging.
I'm doing a bit of guess work right now but it seems like I can do each one for the following, if your location isn't listed or if you want a price for more than one just ask. UK: £15 US: £25 AU: £25
If there is some interest I'll look into it more closely and get hard prices. Thread here.

I think you might be right! I also think I can probably get it cheaper but I'm worried about the cost of postage from Luxumbra if I have to buy a bunch of them so I've left some slack. Tracking kicks the cost up a chunk too but I reckon that's just good practice.

Good to see progress on Outrage. Hopefully it's a fun read. Also it's good to see more game universes start to get fleshed out to the point where they can write fiction in them. One of the best parts of a new Chronicles every month is some new stories in the Malifaux world. Hopefully this keeps rolling and we get some more.

The $200 deal for airbrush and paints looks enticing.
I've been looking to get into airbrushing etc... been paining with bristles like a caveman for too long.
Can anybody in the states weigh in to say if this is a worthwhile deal?
I'm really only interested in the 32mm tag pilot, so I'd primarily be buying for the paint set.
Obviously I need a compressor sold separately...

Well the airbrush in the set sells for $90 on it's own. The hose is probably $8-$10 depending on the length (EDIT: some sites are selling a hose for this with a quick connect at $25, if it's the same hose then the deal is much better). Cleaner is probably $5 (the cleaner will be cheaper in larger volumes so I'm estimating the price based off of that). Paints are $87 at $3 dollars a bottle (though I'm sure you can find them cheaper). so that's $188 if you bought them outside of the bundle. Not too bad to be honest, so the question is how much is the case worth to you?
I don't know if it's a good brush though. I've personally found the sub $100 brushes not really to be worth it outside of terrain base coating. But the Ultra supposed to have a .2mm nozzle which is around the size you want for miniatures.

Anyone know when the English version release is likely to be?
Thinking if getting the Tiger Soldier and then painting up in the colours of my Yu Jing, would be cool to go to town with weathering and things like that. Then make a display with the rest of the 28mm force.
In comparison to the old moderators, I'm not sure I prefer these. The quality is obviously better but they're so bulky and the proportions seem off in places.
Also...

Totally not a fan of the "new age" Bakunin they have released. It's extremely tame looking and nothing radical about them tbh. However I will say that the new design on the combi-rifle & pitcher and the spitfire is really good looking!
Also, the Moderators especially disappoints me, because they were suppose to be wacky, furry, mutant and nonsensical in appearance, while these look like bulky soldiers with a cyborg hacker. Honestly, my main beef is that the Moderators are quite 'moderate' looking.

Iconic bunny girl moderator remains in the starter pack. The old SWC blisters for moderators were a bit tame anyway - was basically wolverine with a spitfire and combi-pitcher was anime hair with lolipop. This is an improvement.
So many games, so little time.
So many models, even less time.
Screw it, Netflix and chill.

No lollipop moderator? Bummer. As CB goes resculpting, it seems that some of the 'character' of the minis is disappearing ( the ASA regulars are no longer a 'Lost' Reference, for example)
These are nice enough minis, but not one of them is particularly 'characterful' to my eyes.

So we lose a Lost reference and gain a Guardians of the Galaxy reference for a net loss of character?
Poor CB, just can't win.
I like this new set, though would not be able to the that white hair justice in the slightest.

Maybe it's a Wildcat SAR vehicle? They're supposed to be the "heroic" public face of the Nomads, so I don't see them tooling aroind in flying junk heaps or retrofitted surplus vehicles like the merc arm of Corregidor probably does.

There, fixed that sentence for you.
As for the gunship, I think it looks really interesting but I wonder if CB will permit them to actually be sculpted with weapons this time. I dunno why but for some weird reason the didn't allow the Azure Dragon to actually get sculpted with the guns on them due to legal issues, whatever that means...

The 'legal issue' was that Antenoctitis license is to make non-military vehicles. Faction dropships was pushing it, but CB allowed it if they removed weapons.
So it's unlikely this one will have weapons unless Antenocitis have a new license.
