  1. That market is fairly saturated. There's over half a dozen well known manufacturers, and some lesser known, making a variety of different designs over multiple materials, single and double sided, with or without overpinted objective markings, at reasonable prices because they're all in competition with each other. Wyrd would have a lot of reasonably priced competition who already do what they would be offering. HIPS tiles? They're in competition with GW's Realm of Battle Board, which is insanely expensive and just rolling hills, and Secret Weapon Tablescapes, which are pretty hard to get a hold of (at least in Australia) and are mostly Sci Fi plus an old temple type board and basic rolling hills. Coming into this market with a cobblestone tile system and matching modular buildings? I've already seen people say they want it for LotR, Warmachine, Mordheim, Twisted and Frostgrave. There's more games with settings that include cobblestone paved cities as well. They just have to price it right and this will be a very high in demand product.
  2. No, gave them Ice Walls. There’s a big difference - Walls are placed in base contact with the Cyclops while Pillars have (IIRC) a 12” range. The limitation of base contact while not touching models or markers means they have a much smaller impact on the game than Pillars since they’re harder to position well.
  3. I'm actually hoping for a Malifaux Sewers set next.
  4. Not sure why people are seeing it as a potential TOS board. 100mm plug bases, which seem to be the most common, would have almost nowhere to be placed on that table. TOS is designed around a small amount of terrain. Bases alone make dense terrain extremely difficult.
  5. Curious about the price. I'm expecting around $500au in Australia, though I could be way off either way. It's a hard product to price though. Too high and you don't sell enough to justify doing them in hard plastic, too cheap and you don't make as much money.
  6. If your only experience with Lilith is Grow lists, no wonder you don’t rank her high.
  7. As much as I love Pandora, Lilith is better. Pandora is great in her little niche, but outside of that - or if someone knows how to build or play around it - she really struggles.
  8. It's a common mistake. I learned that the same way - someone mentioned it here.
  9. This is one of the functions of errata. Not just to rebalance units, but also to clean up wording. For example, the Brewmaster in the January 2017 errata. Nothing changed, but his Drinking Contest ability was reworded to read clearer. Your suggestion of how to make it work in the app seems redundant. If they're going to have a separate document and link to it, why make a database when they already have a FAQ for this? The app makes it very easy to reword a skill and push out an update so people just see the new wording when they use the skill. Obviously, have patch notes here and in the app stores so people know what's changed so they can go look for it. The only thing keeping them from doing this more regularly is they are obviously pushing for an all-inclusive way of playing, which means keeping the cards around. If they push out errata, people who want to use cards need to buy them. If they push out too many errata, people are buying new cards regularly. So this is why they also have the FAQ.
  10. I stopped using Wings of Darkness on Pandora once I realised that she doesn't get Flight on her Fading Memory pushes. Hampered the utility a lot.
  11. We're getting tide pool markers, so I'm not bothered making any. As for general terrain, it seems that Malifaux terrain should suffice. Basically what you'd have as your tables worth of Malifaux terrain, spread out, should work for TOS, so I'll probably just do that.
  12. I didn’t bring up Oxfordian Mages either. I just said they could give Teddy an upgrade that doesn’t count to the limit.
  13. When did I bring up the Executioner?
  14. They could always just state on the upgrade that it doesn’t count towards the upgrade limit. Upgrades like that already exist.
  15. I like the suggestion of making the Matures Wing Buffet a 0. That might go a ways to making it more playable. That way it has a way to disengage itself to make another charge or just to get somewhere else without hampering its AP. Teddy needs more help now. I still don't agree with an ss reduction, as he's fine as a summon. A 0ss upgrade to buff him keeps him the same as a summon but more attractive as a hire.
  16. ... I never even thought to do that. What's the usual Doll Factory setup?
  17. Why 2 Wisps? I get using one to bring out the Voodoo Doll, but is the second a backup?
  18. A few models with only foil cards have been errata'd and their cards have been added. I think the only cards they haven't added are the Vintage cards.
  19. Will we get the alternate 'foil' cards on there for things like alternate Bishop or Miss Deeds? I see the non-foil alternate cards like Johana are already up.
  20. Picked that up automatically for me. Youll have to redo your model list though.
  21. I had to delete and redownlad it.
  22. Someone in charge of the app might want to send the new version and errata update off to the iOS app store. edit - app store just updated
  23. Depends what you want them to do for that 7ss. They're scheme runners, not beaters. The 7ss range doesn't have other scheme runners for Neverborn, and the other scheme runners have their own issues (Tots are dependant on having masks in hand that you can afford to throw away and Insidious Madnesses have an extreme weakness to Ca actions). Silurids are a tougher scheme runner than both, and with Leap they can drop a scheme marker while moving almost as far as a double move from a Madness or further without dropping a scheme. They could probably drop to 6ss but they're not hurting that much at 7ss. They have a role that others in the points bracket don't do better, which is hard to say for some other models in the 7ss bracket.
  24. If you don't consider Francois and Burt worthy of a 1ss bump I think we're playing different games. Those two are absurd, and Burt is frequently taken as a mercenary because of how much better he is than many 8ss beaters. Also, it's pretty widely accepted that Gremlins as a whole are the least consistently internally balanced faction, especially the first 2 books, which would stem from them being the newest faction with almost no released models and smallest player group at the time the books were done. Burt, McTavish and Francois bumping 1ss is not going to break the faction at all.
  25. We've known that story was coming since gencon where they let people vote on who will win.
