Popular Post Nef Posted February 2, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Happy Monday Wyrdos! Today we take a look at an upcoming Story Encounter & Adventure Box, The Undying. It contains thrills and chills for Through the Breach as well as some amazing new models for Malifaux. Let's take a look! The Undying details two forces that have come into contact with each other: the Resurrectionists and the Ten Thunders. Today, we'll be looking at the leader of the Resurrectionist forces, Manos the Risen, and his two Mourners. Manos is an immortal assassin who once belonged to the Order of Balance, a group of priests, warriors, and assassins who brought an end to those who had fallen from the kharmic wheel. The Order were mortal enemies of the Jiangshi, terrible sorcerers who fed on the souls of helpless peasants to extend their own, unnatural lives. The immortal sorcerers corrupted Manos and taught him how to feed on the souls of the fallen, and he used that knowledge to grant himself a perverse form of immortality. Bolstered with forbidden knowledge, he returned to the Order and murdered all of his former friends... all save for one, Minako Rei. After he takes an assignment, nothing - not even death - can stop Manos from completing his mission. On the table, he harvests the Chi of those who die around him and expends it to increase his own capabilities, becoming Fast, more resistant, or empowering his powerful Celestial Strike attack, which ignores Hard to Kill. Accompanying Manos are his Mourners. These undead women are defensive Belles; with Disguised and Manipulative, they're difficult to target, and their Funeral Shroud action prevents enemy models in their engagement range from targeting anyone not in base contact with them. The Mourners aren't entirely defensive, though. They also possess the Feed off Grief attack, a ranged attack that heals them if it kills the target. Better yet, the attack is resisted by Willpower. Perhaps it's time for Seamus to swing by the local cemetery to pick up some new friends! 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manos uses the same mechanics as Yan, but how does he synergizes with him? Perhaps he's an Ancestor. Honestly, I was hoping for someone who would boost Yan's chi on turn one and replace her squishiness Datsue Ba in my crew. And why the heck he does not bear an Asian name? or is it one? i'm confused.

Probably because he's not Asian. Not everyone that plays for the Eagles is from Philly. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tris Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Do we have a release date for the box? And any chance for a deeper rules preview, as these models are completely new and in no book yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSpinebuster Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 So he's not Asian, just a Pang Tong cosplayer who went a little too far? I'm mainly staring at the box image because there appears to be a gravedirt golem of some sort and that is HELLA exciting to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrflamme Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 I preordered this as soon as I could after hearing about it I enjoy both 10T and Rezzers so it's all for me! All of it! Although with difficulties in getting December and January releases to my local store from the distributor, I hope I can get it in March proper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nunorod Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Will it have solo play? In my city I don't have players and I really miss Malifaux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelich Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Also, it says "Posted Friday at 01:13 PM", and it is a Monday preview. #triggered Why would you put up info and hide it from us until after the weekend? Why do you make us wait? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordZombie Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 They are not going to share everything at once, got to keep the fans wanting more. If Manos does not get an enforcer or minion named Torgo, I have lost all faith in Wyrd's abilities to reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guslado Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Of course, there is only one acceptable paint scheme in which to paint Manos: 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 1 minute ago, Guslado said: Of course, there is only one acceptable paint scheme in which to paint Manos: He does have very large sleeves. That's probably a coincidence. Probably. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
