GREMLINS GREMLINS GREMLINS!

Factions which aren't gremlins are simply referred to as "moving targets"

In some cases the gremlins are targets themselves though...

I ended up reasoning it away as it was the hanged wriggling about

Not a fan of the legs myself but it was the best of a bad bunch

Managed to fit ten minutes here and there in nd managed ths one in about 90 minutes whlst eating lunch.

Quite happy with it considering I usually take 4x as long per mini

Once again I've been slow in uploading stuff

#2 son had wanted a crew to run with the only model he owned, Willie, and I managed to pick these guys up cheap from grumhelden.

Finished them in September though so it's been a while since I touched my paint brushes

How did I miss these posts?

Good work Bobzilla. Are the Gremlins for your kids still, or have you fallen in love with them too?

Still for #1 son although I'm tempted to bring them along the next time I actually maker it to a tournament

Ooo absolutely love how you've done up bishop; The whole Viks set turned out awesome.

And the colours on the Gremlin are super vibrant. Looking really really nice.

Cheers Really liked doing the viks set at the time

After seeing the photos and all the chat I'm really annoyed I couldn't make it through to visit never mind play.

NEXT TIME!

I guess I'm just not understanding how this affects anything in the game??

When its aesthetics that draw you to the game in the first place it's a big issue

(my local group thinks I'm mad!)

That has nothing to do with your feelings with regards to the viks box set...

Ooo Gremlins before the bases were finished

I'd forgotten all about this thread

Old Sybelle - Not my favourite model to paint.

My Hanged proxy - Not the best painted model out there but it works.

I've got a few rotton belles and a bunch of bayou grems painted as well recently but I can't for the life of me find the photos anywhere

The heads look completely off scale even considering age gap

I won't know availability until college starts back next month

I wouldnt say less than 1/3. Buildings look about 9" wide so line them up along one board edge and add the tree bases on as well and your almost at the magic 33%.

Where it differs is that most of that is taken up by big bulky buildings instead of walls, rocks, cliffs, bushes and all the other detritus that makes up most other boards. You end up with a really open board rather than one with very tight lines of sight and lots of things to hinder movement

They look like gw trees to me

Barring anything to do with college or NUS Scotland getting in the way I'll take whatever date is going. Won't know what's happening for a few months though.

Are you still thinking of working single day players into it? Even if I can't make it along as a player I'll no doubt drop by at some point anyway.

I don't care if you don't like the game. It is too late to make changes. The book and the cards are at the printer. Expressing distaste in these forums is unproductive at best and damaging to the game and the community at worst.

So all those threads about how this is broken or that model is OP over the last two years are out of place? Just because something is set in stone right now doesn't mean it won't can't be errataed at a later date. If people are basically being told "If you haven't anything nice to say then don't say anything at all" what's the point in this place?

Critisism has it's place at all stages of the game. Not just in the development stages. It has to be backed up though just as over the top enthusism has to be based on something that can be explained and discussed.

Of the folk complaining about piece counts...have you ever put together plastic models from other game ranges? GW boxes are similar in piece count but maybe not in size but Bolt Action models generally hit around the 10-12 piece per model mark with 25-40 in a box. The pieces are just as small if not smaller as well!

Yes Wyrds models can be fiddly at times but we've actually got it good compared to other systems.

From eric's twitter :

Just because the sky has fallen, and I need to put it back up...Flaming heads might just be optional, and represent an active upgrade #maybe

Which goes against what we'd been hearing about upgrades not being wysiwyg

Pleasing if true though and options for model builds is always welcomed

I read through the thread and only saw one person reference it and nobody quote it. So here's the likely justification for the flaming skulls. Taken from the Dead of Winter pdf.

Granted, that was Hansen, a named Death Marshall. But we've already been told the story will continue to evolve with 2E. So it would seem Death Marshals will gain the ability to power up for a short time, possibly weakening themselves for future rounds.

So that was one spell effect and they've chosen to include it on ll three death marshal models? What's next...All Witchlings have a spell effect for dispel moulded out of plastic? One DM I can see, and possibly like, having the firey skull effect but all of them? Not a fan.

Been a while. Between a busy life and my laptop blowing up not much has really happened on my end.

Finished off Ophelia's crew and Sonnia and lost the photos in the great hard drive crash of '13.

Picked up some Bolt Action British Infantry to paint for my birthday though.

I also decided at the beginning of the year to diversify into Ressers. Needed to do it on a budget though so a lot of proxying is going to be involved to get it playable until I can pick up the actual models I need. So far I've proxied crooked men, drowned and mindless zombies. Everything else I have are the wyrd models but I've only painted a few of them so far.

As far as I'm aware it means you don't pay the additional 'out of faction' costs for those models. For example if you played Yan Lo as 10T you wouldnt pay the extra ss cost for taking punk zombies as they are resser models.

I've scoured the papercraft places for these sort of things and as they almost all seem to be made in scrapbooking heaven otherwise known as the USA they are almost all in imperial sizes.

There is a fancy cutter you can get that looks like one of those fancy glasscutters catburglers use in old movies but I think the smallest it goes is 40mm

subtle creepiness

Are we looking at the same model? The original sculpt looks like a fat guy playing about with Freddy claws. Nothing creepy about it :S
