It's...a decent model...but it sure doesn't look like Lazarus...

Just what I was looking for: thanks! Still not psyched (I 'payed that tax' on the C. Hoffman crew because the Avatar was so bloody excellent), but I can understand. It just means players in my group will be playing the campaign a lot more (and still can't wait for the drop-in 50mm surrounds to come out for the other masters that never got a mini...Von Schill...looking your way...).

Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this, but I've done a lot of searching, and have yet to turn up straight answers. What's up with the Avatars?! Are they really, really gone for good (not just 'as proxies for' Emissaries)? Are they campaign only? Why were they gotten rid of? And, most importantly, if you have answers, where did you get those answers from? I've read a lot of "I've heard this here..." kinda stuff, but can't find a single dedicated thread to Avatars! And, of course, if there IS a dedicated thread, please be so kind as to link it here so I can read it!

So, I wasn't able to acquire a Dark Carnival set during GenCon, but I like the look and feel of them so much that I'm starting to hunt for a set to get (+The Crossroads 7 organ player...of course :D). A question I have: I keep seeing pics here and there of a 'Black Friday' Corphyee for Dark Carnival. Does that mean that that box will come out on... Black Friday? I don't know. And help you could give would be awesome. I'm also assuming (since I haven't seen them yet) that there aren't any pics of the CADs anywhere. Also, if anyone has a link to pics of basing ideas, or assembled painted DC, that'd be awesome!

Thought I'd throw my 2p into the discussion of card size. My Miss Anne Thrope card was SIGNIFICANTLY larger then any other stat or upgrade I'd gotten befor, and when comparing to other cards it looked as though both the dimensions were larger, and the die cut was moved a bit from 'normal.' as said above, none of this is really bad-bad, but yeah, it was noticeable.

I...did not know that! I thought Miss Pack was the only metal Miss! Who's the other one??

So, ever since Miss Pack, I adore the concept of a limited "Miss" model every so often: it's just neat, and fun! However, I'm continually disappointed by the absence of a "Miss Demeaner" in the gallery.so, here's my suggestion: Miss D. Meaner. Outcast multipart, able to be made into either a Desperate Merc or a Convict Gunslinger.

As a kind of "anti-update:" I pledged Game Room level, and have received nothing yet. I live in California.

Ummmmm... yeah. What's up with Von Schill and plastics?

@Mako: cool for you and other like-minded individuals, but I got tired of "beta" after "beta," so HAVE been waiting this whole time to try to get a campaign off the ground. Now, seems like TtB will more then likely arrive around (or maybe even after) GenCon, or at least mine which are hard bound. So... It comes across as being late, and I'm being penalized for pledging more. Just...wholly unimpressed. I'll be at GenCon, and I'll be darn unhappy if people there are able to buy TtB before mine even arrives... This. QFT. It's been how long since the last update with the packed box? Over a week? 10 days? And no one (at least on here has posted that they've gotten one, or heard even a PEEP that one has shipped and is on its way? This is VERY frustrating. It's like over the past year and a half: I think it's a light at the end of the tunnel, but it turns out to be a train. After previous posts on here and the (ABANDONED) TtB forums, I've tried to keep the vitriol off the web (though my poor group gets to hear about it...sorry Nick & Co!), but come on, guys... another peep would be greatly appreciated!

@Star: sorry, I stand corrected.

No, you didn't. To the best of my knowledge we haven't seen so much as a CAD pic of these (the main reason that I backed to the extent I did), nor have been told if they're in production, or any ballpark estimate for shipping them. I'm supposed to get 2 male and 2 female, but the closest I've gotten is sketches from over a year ago.

Wow... yep, the Ronin and at least the Vik of Ashes is, for me, distractingly off from the rest. I mean, I have the Hired Swords in hand, and I don't think they're unplayable with the other minis in the new ranges of plastics... but yep, it's obvious. I REALLY hope that 38mm render from TtB we saw gets sized down. I don't want my males and females to be, well, the size of Space Marines... (maybe Von Schill) Anyone have a shot of Rasputina next to Lady J and Tara they could put up?

So, no pic of the 2nd Vik next to Vanessa?

Got a pic of Vanessa next to the other Vik?
