Da Git Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Holy Crap!! Ten Thunders at last! They look amazing... are the riding Yoga balls? (I'm assuming they're lanterns, but Yoga balls are much cooler!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrflamme Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Well, ah...I wasn't expecting lanterns (and does that mean they got flying since the last public beta iteration...? ) But they look very distinctive and cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retnab Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Those are freaking amazing! Not at all what I was expecting but holy crap that art is good I can't remember if they were still Mercs at the end, but I hope so so that I'm not buying them just to paint haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necroon Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Yeah these are absolutely not what I was expecting. I actually don't know what I was expecting by my possibly non-existent expectations have been blown out of the water. I feel like I really adore the sculpts for factions I previously had no interest in... so stop that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoylentRobot Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 they look like magic space hoppers to me, sorry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomezilla Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 @necroon said it all already. Ok maybe not. I appreciate that these have a very distinctive stance and pose and you won't make any mistake in identifying them on the table. The individual monks' sculpts are excellent but a little too united thematically, so facing Ten Thunders can be confusing. And spellcasters can often be equally confusing visually. 16 minutes ago, SoylentRobot said: they look like magic space hoppers to me, sorry Vanessa has the same spell casting gesture on one hand, if you want to proxy before its release--but given what I said above, please at least give it an oversized lantern somewhere? And a dynamic body which her still stance absolutely does not provide? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomstick Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 I come to Malifaux expexting some crazy gremlin to ride a paper lantetn like a rocket. But no, SURPRISE! Thunders. If nothing else has proven to me that they are infiltrating everyone, this has. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's okay. Just don't accept more favors than you can handle. 32 minutes ago, Boomstick said: I come to Malifaux expexting some crazy gremlin to ride a paper lantetn like a rocket. But no, SURPRISE!

Hey, the tech trade has to go both ways You might ask them if they had some of the Brewmaster's special stuff. You know, the stuff they used to interrogate Von Schill?

Tokapondora Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 I just hope those spacehoppers are designed to be optional pieces. Unless they're somehow given flight I'm really not seeing the point of them. Upper body poses are cool though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordZombie Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 They look amazing, but also with a terrible point of contact for the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipp does Ok with his smoke trail contact point. Those who were planning to leave off the lanterns might have an interesting time. The bottom half of Kudra's model is skirted and stands on its base just fine, in case the warders* don't. *I'm having the worst time not typing "wardens". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amdor Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Hmm, I was expecting something close to a Shinto monk, not lantern-riding ninja-mages. I'm glad to be surprised, these are definitely more wyrd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Next year we will be having burning skull riding zombies! I'm looking forward for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehouse Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Models itself are cool, but I dont like the lanterns. Maybe if they had been dragon-shaped. Now they look as if they had eaten way too much gum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Not at all what I was expecting.... Interesting though - I can't decide how I feel about them. I think I need to see the actual models to see what it looks like in plastic. Definitely Wyrd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeysword Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Do Charm Warders mean "式神(shikikami)" in Japanese? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik1978 Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 They're yoga balls which also mean those guys have really well trained and powerful thighs. Expect Van Damme kicks for everyone! Ml 7 Rg 2" Rst Df. Dmg: 2/3/12 (Severe damage automatically gives a head marker regardles of Strategy.) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
