That's fair, though I might counter that it depends on the scheme - sometimes you just want to zip them off to a location and camp them with PoM and Df. Don't know if it actually counts as a "scheme runner" if it's not actually doing much running, but I've used them quite successfully as "scheme dash-and-campers."

Metal Gamin are "potentially fast" scheme runners. If the enemy crew has constructs, they're quick little buggers using their (0) Magnetism. If the enemy crew doesn't have constructs, however... well, that's where the "potentially" part comes into play.

That's an interesting point, Laika. It makes this statement: ​ Puzzling and inconsistent with the precedents set in previous releases. I find it far more likely that the card in question was forgotten (either on Wyrd's end or the printer's) and that rather than further delay Ironsides' release while it was sussed out (for a kit that was already delayed for problems getting cards) they decided to ship them as-is, and have Aaron come play damage control by spinning an obvious oversight into a sales pitch for a new product.

I love Wyrd, but that's some pretty asinine logic.

How is an upgrade that can only be equipped to a specific named character something you decided would be a "general" upgrade, rather than an upgrade that came with that character?

I suspect Bengt is posting here rather than go through the regular mispack service because it's kind of strange for a large number of people to receive the same mispack. Perhaps there's something wrong with the lot, perhaps it's an intentional loss. If it's intentional, it's not precisely a "mispack," so I think it's worth posting.

I... I did not realize this was a one and a half year old thread. It came up when I was searching for something, and because I'm not very good at the Internet I thought I was participating in an active conversation. Sorry, mates, for not checking the date - but I'll make a gallery for you when they get painted up.

I just chopped the nubs off of all my spider legs and glued them wherever. Came up with six or eight poses just from the plastic kit that way, after I got up the moxy to cut and switch some of the legs that are moulded on.

Well, then it looks like I'm supporting my Friendly Internet Retailer instead, because my FLGS never has $60 worth of Malifaux stuff I want in stock at the same time anyway.

All one receipt? Or just "spend $60 or more across the month of June?" Because I'm waiting for Ironsides, but I want Metal Gamin yesterday.

Aye, fair enough. I was just hoping that there might be some kind of update ("we talked to our printers/distributors and should have Troubleshooters boxes ready to roll out mid-June") to tide me over. I'm not mad that there's not, or anything, just making sure I hadn't missed anything.

So... Ironsides? Johan? It's absolutely not May anymore.

The Serenity Role Playing Game is worth a look, too, if that's your kind of thing.

I like Taelor's "Welcome to Malifaux" ability, it always reminds me of Will Smith in Independence Day: "Welcome to Urf!" *whack*
