The Wanyudo is also shown there, cant say i like it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Do we know - will the box be normal Wyrd plastic or pre-assembled PVC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grave Golem in that pic seems to be pre-assembled. I could be wrong though if we just can't see the connection points on that angle.

I hope they’re the usual HIPS, not PVC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this supposed to be a katashiro picture? Sounds like origami oni?! This is all I see, too. Edit: Solved it, I told Ghostery to trust this website, then I could see it. So if you use Ghostery, do that, otherwise check any other addblockers you may be using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip, I use Ghostery as well, but it didn't work for me. Tried all my other addblockers as well and no-dice. I'll just have to wait for the real thing to see what they look like *le sigh*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickienogger Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Here's my speculation of Wyrd's reference for Manos the Risen. Notice the curly pattern on his hat, and the spikey top? it takes a Thai guy to recognise an ancient Thai (Siamese) Warrior's hat. I reckon these are design queues taken from medieval Thai or Burmese warrior uniforms see the Naresuan films for reference Manos is also a potential spin on a common Thai name in that time. มานัส or มานพ are common male names which are pronounced manus or manop respectiely. Regardless of whether I'm even vaguely right on this or not, i'm still glad that Wyrd has gone all out to represent every culture possible and absolutely love them for it. (We've got roughly 100 malifaux players in 4-5 gaming shops across Bangkok, come find us if you drop by!) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonewall78 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I think we can all agree that all medieval type design queues are awesome. I am a personal fan of a lot of the asian historical movies. It is great to see suck diversity and research thrown into all these models.

I feel you on this. Manos has the helmet, and his 'lantern' is somewhat an ancient container for ceremonial purposes .... but is used upside down. And his big necklace, spear, and uniform makes him look like a mish-mash of shaolin monk and ninja with Thai warrior. For the local culture's perspective things might seem abit about of place - but for the rest of the world, the design really clicks and appeals to audience of Wyrd. I actually absolutely adore the Demador de cadavres design very much. I want them to look like mexicans celebrating dia de los muertos dressed with bullfighter suits. - might appear naive of me coming from a different culture - but it works for me - and probably appeals to the crowd. same can be said for Mr. Manos as well.

Da Git Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 I'm really curious about how the Resser models are linked together. On the 10T side, you've got Minako, who makes the Katashiro and the Wanyudo (guessing from the TTB book entry) is the tortured head of some poor evil sod (possibles a member of the evil sorcerer club that turned Manos). But what about the Ressers? You got a non-Asain (but loves to Cosplay) corrupted, traitor Assassin from the Order of Balance. How does he connect to the mourners with their Victorian aesthetic and the Grave Golem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoylentRobot Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 i always figured Ressers are a "use whatever you can find" kind of faction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird (Wyrd?) that it’d be the Monday Preview, then not be released and the Backdraft encounter box released before it. I’ve seen the distributors listing March too. Maybe it’s just a mistake and missed off the March release list. Any word @Aaron? It’s confusing peoples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
