I'm hardly an ace sculptor, but I think it actually looks really cool, and gives the model at least *something* to stick to...

Thinking about it, extending the wisps of smoke down the legs and into the base would work perfectly, and remove a need for the pin in the middle at all. Great suggestion.

Actually, that's a great idea, thanks. I think that would work perfectly.

Good idea, thanks. I did consider this, though unfortunately my Ivan crew is based on "Lucius" Office bases, so a rock won't cut it. Perhaps I could manufacture a crate or small piece of furniture or similar though...

After assembling the insect Nocturne, I have no idea how to affix it to a base by just the spindly legs... there doesn't seem to be enough surface area for either gluing or pinning. I thought about basing via a pin through the middle... but that would look kinda ugly. So, how have you guys done it?

I noticed the same thing and came here to ask. Any word from Wyrd as to which is correct? As you say, no real issue from a gameplay perspective, but pretty jarring when compared to background and models...

I'm not going to make it this year (due to a clash with a trip home to NZ), but Bonescon was great last year and I hope everyone enjoys it this year!

In some cases this isn't true. I had bent (twisted would be more correct) weapons due to the miniatures arms being stuck on at incorrect angles. They couldn't be straightened without removing and re-gluing the arms.

I've had similar issues with models that have arms glued in incorrect positions, resulting in guns being twisted and not being able to correct the twist without disassembling and reassembling (which I refuse to do for preassembled minis, so will be raising a support ticket). Also a few parts fell off in shipping (while disappointing this isn't unreasonable and I'm happy to fix these myself), and some parts are missing (one of my skulkers is entirely missing his arms). This has me worried and I have to find time to go back through everything and double check before I raise my support ticket.

Ah... apparently I'm a week ahead of myself. Still, the point stands - unless/until you get an explicit yes from Wyrd, you should assume no (and obviously an explicit yes from Wyrd would have more weight than my "assume no"). Wyrd have chosen a specific date for the Open Beta to start, and for others to be able to start playing. I understand the enthusiasm to start sooner, but if they really wanted people to start playing sooner, they would have released the files themselves.

I would assume not, unless Wyrd explicitly say otherwise. Typically playtesting materials remain property of Wyrd (and subject to standard copyright provisions, meaning you're not able to distribute them without the rights holder's permission). Lifting the NDA just means you can talk about it, not that you can distribute playtest material. Weds is only 36 hours away... there will be all new Beta files available then. Note: this would also cover copying/pasting from the materials.

While I can't say I'm thrilled about the scale issues in general (Lord of Steel is also apparently a midget, and several of the minis just don't look right next to each other), I think "tiny, overpriced and ridiculous" is going a bit far. Either way, I wouldn't expect Wyrd to do anything about it. At this stage, with it in retail, they'd need to do a mass recall, re-print and replacement... which is probably beyond them for what is not really that big a deal (pun intended).

We'll miss you Mason, but all the best for whatever the future holds!

Not that extreme, but a couple of my models were missing parts. Not like they fell off, but just completely missing. I have to find time to go through everything with a fine toothed comb to verify what's missing, and send a replacement parts request.

If we purchased the bundle the first time it was on BoH, do we go in the raffle too? 🤞
