I've only noticed stock slowly trickling into Sydney despite the game being released officially about a month ago? I have yet to see anybody playing it in my corner of things and haven't heard that much hype about it. What I have seen is a lot of Americans complaining about how overpriced the starter box is (boardgamegeek.com), so perhaps that is the reason why you are seeing reduced prices? I bought my copy during GENCON and I have to admit, I've largely ignored it. Not entirely because I haven't wanted to give it a go. I just haven't had time so whenever I do have spare time, I spend it board gaming (don't have to paint anything). To add to this, I'm more attracted to the miniatures than I am to the game.

Okay...so those clear plastic tokens are terrain...SIGH! I could have saved myself 30 minutes of heart attack regarding missing terrain tiles ;p if I had thought to check here first. Board gamers like an inventory on the first page of the rule book! EDIT: Of course I didn't bother to check the back of the box >.< Ha! I still intend on stitching together pieces of felt to form flattish 2D terrain. Can't wait!

Order # 8448 has arrived safe and sound in Sydney, Australia. USPS website still hasn't got a location displayed, only that the parcel shipping info was electronically received. Waiting for the better half to come home before I tear into the boosters. *Fingers crossed for teddy*

How...cute.

Shame about the box...but board gamers are also prone to pimping out their games so I'm guessing we'll see what awesome ideas people have in the way of transportation soon.

OoOoo so creepy.

Fantastic Can't wait to see it.

I own paints from Reaper, P3, Vallejo Game & Model and the now defunct Derivan range. I recently had to throw out all my GW paints because they'd all dried out over the course of 3 years. I'm currently loving P3 paints but each have their positives and negatives. Reaper triads make it easy for lazy painters to achieve a highlighted look without having to mix paints. I would literally paint from the darkest to lightest colour and maybe add some white in at the very end if I was bothered. Unfortunately, I have found that some of the colours are thick and some are incredibly thin. P3 paints are incredibly opaque which makes it easier to paint armies quickly. White and yellow go over black undercoats with no problem whatsoever and you can thin the paints down with water without the pigments clinging to the edge. I personally dislike the P3 metallics range. It's very prone to splitting, it's thick and dries out quickly (as in the entire pot is dry, even when it was new and sealed). Vallejo Game colour offers a one to one colour correspondence with GW colours. When I first ditched GW these were the paints that I was using but I quickly became frustrated by their watery-ness (which is actually quite good for particular methods of painting). Vallejo Model colour is thicker than Game colour and offers an unbeatable range of colours, particularly colours that are true to WWI-II. Technically speaking, I should be in love with Model colour but I'm not sure why, I just don't...My first paint in this range was a flesh colour and it took so long to dry...I'd go to lay on a second layer and the first layer would peel off. And then there were the annoying blockages in the squeeze bottles...the amount of times I've exploded paint onto myself ...

/swoon I love your idea...and I'm going to steal it .

Ahoyhoy, Not sure if anyone else feels this way or if you guys lost your website developer or whatever but anyway... I have a suggestion for the Wyrd Miniatures home page. I think it is a little lackluster and seems to be very rarely updated. When people navigate to the page, there's nothing juicy to look at think 'Wow, this is totally cool and I want to see more'. There's no picture of some painted miniatures, no picture of a game in process, no jaw dropping concept art, no sneak peak previews of some greens, pictures of upcoming releases. The 'Wyrd News' section is not even updated properly, with some news being posted on the forums and some on the home page. In essence, the main page doesn't properly convey the flavour of Malifaux nor does it properly inform. People can't be counted upon to access the forums for more information, particularly if they are shopping around for a new game and aren't sure about whether or not Malifaux is for them. Also, during the GENCON online sales period, people at my LGS weren't even aware of the limited edition specials. There was nowhere on the main page or shop front that stated or announced the specials (not that this seemed to hinder sales ;p from what I'm seeing of people's receipt numbers). In fact, a few weeks before the sales I was trying to convince my fiance to extend the budget because I had noticed some GM postings regarding exclusives and bonus minis but then I had to trawl through pages and pages of people's posts to relocate exactly where I had read about the exclusives! Such important GM posts should have their own thread and be posted on the main page. You could also have pages with photos of and information about the various factions and their associated figures that is separate from the online store. In that way, you could also have photos of your old limited edition minis and maybe some boxes with some player tips or hints or flavour text etc.

Super Dungeon Explore minis came in the post (hooray it's my birthday) . Having a horrendous time assembling. Paper thin weapons, tiny contact areas, very soft metal :'(. Super, sad panda.

If I'm not losing my beans, I seem to recall Vallejo (even Reaper and Derivan) making a pearlescent medium...but I'm not sure if that's the finish you're after.

Not bad for $10! I was thinking about making a grave yard too...and have somehow already racked up well over $50 from just buying tombstones from various companies...and then of course GW had to announce that very pretty graveyard set!

Loving the fluoro flames. It's a shame the other coffins don't have sculpted flames, those colours would have carried greatly over the entire crew.

Only managed to paint one CR but at least the hideous rat catcher has colours on it now ;p. It obviously still needs more touching up but at least it won't be a black mini on the battlefield.
