I was extremely polite, but you seemed offended that I wouldn't sell. If my idea of his value is above what anyone is willing to pay I'll happily hang onto him and continue to use him myself. I wish you all the very best in finding one for your collection.

You responded passive-aggressive, then when I stated a fact you accused me of being aggressive.

As already explained, you are within your right to fish for offers, but most Buy,Swap,Sell threads require an asking price or at least some form of numerical limits.

I posted to provide such an example.

Hey, Avatarform why do always call out someone when you don't get what you want? Le LCb go for as much as $300 on ebay.......so if you want it pony up.

Don't take it personal, I had the same problem with him.

I was posting here to give individuals a starting price so they had some idea.

The OPs post is very ambiguous, without an asking price or pictures. In fact, the OP isnt sure if he wishes to sell. The OP is calling for offers, similar to an auction.

Other forums would lock/delete threads like this.

Just for the information of those interested.

I offered AUD$120, double the RRP on this model, and was knocked back.

This is the collector's value on an opened/damaged condition of this sculpt.

I love the impish wings.

I took the wings off a young neph and used them on Lilith...

I really wish Wyrd had a bits service... like PP

Lilith is about growth and such... why destruction?

She creates illusory forests, but she also growths terror tots into mature nephs...

Nice!

Nathan confirmed... all nightmares will be METAL

Oooh!

It's out?

Is it all metal, or part resin?

Kindly provided by Turelio on OzPainters...

Is it true that the GenCon Nightmare will be Dead Justice boxed set?

@Sandwich so how does getting another melee master make the other useless, neverborn have LCB and Lilith, neather are useless

Isnt this just a Nightmare Edition boxed set which can be played as either?

If so, Im buying them all!

They look nice.

In all fairness, the pictures in the store do not do the models justice. Some are in old photo-booth format, some are just scans of the labels... and we all know not all the models look as good as they should on the labels.

I think the Malifaux line has grown big enough to warrant a full color catalogue. Make it a publication and sell it for a price that'd cover the cost and some. Should be even easier to sell than Rules Manual and such, because it will appeal to wider circle of hobbyists.

Exactly.

Also, similar to the GW Annual, the exploded view of the model and its components would assist greatly.

#Please do not turn this thread into a discussion of the quality of the Online Store pics. We know not all of the paintjobs or angles do the models justice. You need to hold them in your hands.

I love the sculpt. I'm disappointed that anyone would state those sorts of opinions as facts, and then act butt hurt when not everyone else agrees with them.

Butt hurt? Words of a troll, not a Henchman.

The only posters defending the Wyrd sculpt are Henchmen, whose opinions are skewed due to their unique position as minions of Wyrd.

Expecting any Henchmen to criticise Wyrd is like asking a GW Red Shirt to come clean about Fineca$t. White Knight it all you want, the proportions are out.

Furthermore, please do not pretend that a warhorse ever was bred to have short legs. Unless you can provide a record that proves that mounted cavalry wished to move slower over short distances, I take any of your so-called horse knowledge with a large pile of salt. I also grew up with horses and your claims are as good as someone claiming academia on the Interwebs.

I realize this isn't what you're looking for, but my suggestion is to go back and play 2nd Edition

Played it.

Played ADnD2.5 for 5 years at Uni.

As for this thread, the members on Dakka have suggested some very interesting builds.

At present I am deciding between my Drunken Monk and a Half-Elf Swordmage.

Will we ever see one?

The hobbyist in me wants to see the various components of models before buying them. This is due to conversion ideas.

In addition, this may also enable others to make decisions pre-purchase regarding assembly.

You may also consider including a "glossy" gallery in it, similar to other ranges as a further selling tool.

@Avatar: Have you ever thought that maybe that is half the point of this model? It is Neverborn, they don't have to and often don't obey the generic rules of anatomy. The Hooded Rider is an excellent miniature for what it is supposed to be. It's not supposed to be the perfectly proportioned human on a horse that your comparing it to. It's an unknown horrific construct of Malifaux born and created by who knows what.

Personally I think your just judging it under the wrong criteria, like judging an apple in an orange contest. It's not meant to be those things which you would place against it. It is the weird, it is the ab-normal, it is the larger than life.

For a moment I ask you to consider this, which has time and again been compared to this model and I wouldn't be at all surprised if the sculptor had been inspired even a bit by this particular piece OR something like it. It is a definite art style that basically... doesn't conform to what you rules you wish to place upon it.

Simply I ask that you open your view a bit more before you go slamming a model like this. You seem to be viewing this model through a very narrow scope which truthfully.. should not be used on something such as this. If they wanted perfect realism do you really think they would have selected this sculpt to use?

But I will admit there are 2 parts of what you knock against it which I agree. The Armor Platting does not seem to blend correctly with the model giving the impression of floating some how. And yes, the arm angle is strange in the pictures. But once you have the model in handle, it actually is much closer to the correct angle. Simply, the pictures of this model do not do it true justice and you must hold it in your hands to get the real sense for it.

While I can understand your point of view, I still disagree with everything you have said.

I have held the model and it is no better in person. Your comparison with Darksiders is not accurate. I own the official Concept Art book for that game and it is superior to the hooded rider. Further, I am not judging an apple in an orange contest, I am judging a sculpt for its merits and it has not passed inspection.

Also, you can white knight all you wish, the fact remains that it is an amateurish sculpt. The points you have raised are weak defences. Please do not insult the intelligence of myself or other members by attempting to convince us using such transparent nonsense. I expect better from you, you do not work for GW.

actually in the Discworld series Mort was Death's apprentice. He acted as Death in one book but they are different characters

I must re-read the series if my recollection is slipping.

Thanks for the update.

No, this is Death.

Also, the Hooded Rider is far from rubbish...

In the Discworld series, Death's name is Mort.

As to your comment on the Hooded Rider model:

It was apparently a rush job:

Pro's:

-It looks like the concept art

-It is on the appropriately-sized base

Cons:

-Mount proportions are inaccurate, resulting in a daschund-esque appearance. These include, too-short legs; overly-large head; ridiculously long head-tendrils/snakes; and armour plating that appears to be floating on the mount rather than attached to it.

-Rider is similarly out of proportion. Appears too large for the mount. No neck/muddled head sculpt.

-Rider's anatomy is all wrong. Arms at wrong angles.

Overall, it comes off as amateur.

These are very nice.

They remind me of Space Marine scout paint schemes.

I think this would make a great proxy for the dead or hooded rider:

Is that "Mort" from the Discworld range?

I think MicroArt or Heresy do those... very cool!

I'm guessing for the Resser Rider? (Is it Dead Rider?) At any rate, it doesn't have a scythe. I was looking at a Darragh Wrathe for mine.

Hooded. Cos the present sculpt is rubbish.

Also, this latest from McVey may end up coming with a helmed head and alternate weapon.

Here is the latest from Studio McVey

Hello from North QLD.

There is a particular poster on these forums who is big in Perth also...

He posts in PINK!

When is GenCon?

Im saving already
