Absolution Black

I started malifaux way back in 1st but hardly played in 2nd.

Decided to jump back in now 3rd is out so ordered the rulebook and the Youko starter set as though I concentrated on Guild previously I thought new edition, new faction.

Youko I haven't heard much about but I liked the look of he models so took the plunge.

So, after the testing does anyone have any thoughts about her, play style, model synergies etc?

I have been out of the loop for a while but I thought Bass was a Guild master?

Or am I getting confused with someone else, but I vaguely recall an article when M3E was announced and I could swear that a Cornelius Bass was listed in the Guild section?

Absolution Black is the main character in my malifaux fiction...probably can still be found in the writing section.

Also the name of my chaplain in my Raven Guard, warrior priest in Warhammer etc...

Avatar? Well, I'm Welsh and obviously love the sheep.....

That's a joke by the way.

Have to say I agree with Darkblack and Ludvig.

They pretty much said everything I would! 

I've seen it go for anything between £40 and £80 recently.

Good hunting!

Sold! 

Ok, I have three complete gremlin crew boxes for grabs... Somer, Ophelia and Wong so a good selection of core gremlin models for anyone interested in starting the faction. All cards and bases included as still nib.

I am happy to sell all three for £50 Inc postage to the UK.

PayPal preferred.

PM if interested!

I was going to comment, but words escape me...

I'm with Ludvig.  I'm sure in the past Wyrd have stated that they don't want to have too many boxes around so it allows stores to stock their product without taking over too much shelf space.

Plus releasing separate models isn't probably a good business idea in that the player will just buy a master model, ignoring the respective crew box.  You would probably have to sell five or six individual models to make up that shortfall and I don't think each master will be that popular.

Coupled with more design costs, production costs for the models it probably wouldn't make much sense.

Alt models for events such as Gencon, tourney wins etc or Guilder exchange is probably the best way to go.

Plus if you release a wave of Alt masters, where does it end?  Everyone will then expect  Henchmen etc to be released separately ...and so on.

Only a couple of things left now...

Now splitting..BUMP

They do not have the original boxes but are all new on the sprue and will come with the relevant cards. 

I prefer UK buyers but if someone abroad wanted them and they were willing to pay the postage I could consider posting abroad.

I have had several trades on here and my ebay identity is refreshmentboy so check that out if you want to!

Anyway, the list of models available:

1 x Hunter  £4

3 x Pistolero de Latigo   £9

Cheers

Also top marks to Torsul for being an excellent buyer. Great communication, swift payments and a pleasure to do business with.

Recommended buyer!

Will leave these on here until Thursday night then they can go on eBay.

If interested let me know by PM. I answer as soon as i can, and will probably post one or two times a week.

Thanks for looking

I don't think alt versions of models should be exclusive to guilders as this will exclude a large player base that may want those models but don't or can't earn the guilders.

Plus, the flip side is,  if those alt models are available to everyone else via sales etc, what is the point of making them rewards for guilders.

I vote stick with plastic resculpts of original metal models or other rewards or merchandise.

Just my two pence worth.

Hmmm.. wasn't a fan of the original.  But I actually prefer it to this version. Its too organic for my taste.

Yikes, didn't want to ruffle any feathers...I'm backer #173 and am pretty close to all in. Although, for one who doesn't like implications your comment on why people want LE miniatures is a pretty heavy one. I don't know all the rules though - I don't live in a glass house. 

Without delving too deeply into our offline lives and knowing that everyone online is a Dr. Astronaut-Ninja-Knows-it-All, I can only assume you were also aware that there is a fundamental difference in WHEN Wyrd gets the money...while they will certainly still be solvent if someone buys at a discount from a retailer and I would never want to paint the people who purchase Wyrd products that way in a negative light, it kind of misses the point when they are trying to crowd source funding to create the project. Again, I am likely completely wrong here...if nobody backed it, surely all the options would be available in early August for sale at a retailer, right?

My question on which type of person should be rewarded merely reflects that - crowd sourcing is a grey area between investor and consumer. Consumers receive goods and services in exchange for capital. Investors receive options and control in exchange for capital. Despite what people believe it to be, Kickstarter is not a "pre-order website." And nowhere did I mention them "hav[ing]" to have LEs. I merely hoped. You'll note that "hoping for LEs" is the binary to "hoping for no LEs." Do you take umbrage with my hope or is it simply that, based on your decision to not participate, you don't want to miss out on something unique? 

Again, you can tell by my post count I don't know all the rules. If the entire community believes that "hoping for some small token of regard in return for passive investment of an untested property" is intrinsically wrong, it's the first I've heard of it. 

Ok, I'm glad you explained your stance more as when I first read your original post it came across as a 'gimmee' post demanding LEs for being a 'loyal' supporter.

I can see that obviously how things look on the internet is not always what is meant.

I still disagree on some points, however, but I don't want to derail a thread unnecessarily.  I still don't see LE as rewards but more an enticement to back or spend more, and that's fine as it makes business sense to get as much money or funding as possible.

I like a lot of the LE models and have managed thankfully to get mine through friends or clubbing together to meet a target in the various sales wyrd has.

I don't like the obvious scalping that goes on when these LEs suddenly appear hours after release at extortionate prices, but I am not tarring every gamer or backer with the same brush. 

Thankfully wyrd have funded without the 'lure' of cheesecake extras etc , it's entirely up to them whether they release any LE models for pledges now.

As for buying later at retail, wyrd are big supporters of brick and mortar stores so I can't see them having a problem with people holding off. And my understanding is that wyrd were going ahead with the project anyway, the extra funds from the kick-starter might speed up the process and get more stuff available quicker? I could be wrong.

And wyrd have enough supporters that I didn't doubt it would fund. It's the smaller, solo designers etc where kick-starter really helps. Then I can understand it being an investment. With wyrd, CMON etc I think kick-starters just help a project along that little bit more, and aren't necessarily needed.

Anyway, sorry if I misinterpreted your stance, and don't worry, apart from not being a douches, there  are no real rules on here!

I'm hoping you guys provide some Limited Edition miniatures for the people willing to back your vision now...while I've seen some complaints about LEs on the Kickstarter comments, there also seems to be a proportion of "supporters" stating that they will wait to buy at a discount from retailers in the future. I guess it comes down to the type of person you want to reward...?

There is no reason wyrd have to provide LE models in the kick-starter. If you are going to back the game you will back it, I get the impression that people who want the LE stuff before they back are in it simply for the sell on value later. I know this isn't always true but to be fair to wyrd, they have funded without the lure of LE.

Personally I'm not backing it as it's not for me and I will wait until I see it played before deciding whether to change my mind.

I also don't like the way you imply that those who will wait and buy from retailers after release aren't supporting wyrd. Wyrd still get the money whenever you buy it. 

And what kind of person should wyrd reward then?

As far as I know, she has always been plastic.

Mine certainly is.

Hope you find one but be prepared to pay a lot....

Hope you get it sorted Cinnamon,

Managed to get all I wanted though would have preferred an original plastic Wild Ones but will be ok with the translucent one.

I like the pointy one.  Not so keen on the "get off my leg!" one.
