  1. I'm planning to paint her using a color scheme similar to the Elderwood Leblanc skin from "League of Legends" to tie her in with the rest of her crew. We'll see how successful that is.
  2. Can confirm, this is the method I used as well, though I came at it separately.
  3. Ah, okay, good to know. Not even all that upsetting, I just like knowing something.
  4. Cool, that's good to know. I was starting to get nervous myself.
  5. I haven't gotten to build that one yet, but I wouldn't doubt it looking at the model. XD
  6. It always used to confuse me when people were blown away by the small parts on these models. Then it occurred to me that not everyone came into this hobby from model building instead of gaming. Try out some Kotobukiya, Tamiya, or Bandai kits, which sometimes have not only small parts, but also decorative metal leaf to be shaped, and actual rubber tubing as thin as some of the gremlin rifles, then we'll talk about a challenge! XD Seriously, though, stick with it, and you'll do fine. After the first few, it will be normal if you've built other minis.
  7. Can someone point me to a more in-depth explanation on this one? I'm sure it's been discussed to death before, but I'd like to know more.
  8. No alt ideas off the top of my head, but I'd love to see a kit centered on the Gremlin train that just keeps going in circles around the swamp.
  9. Oh, absolutely. I have no illusions that I'm doing anything but theorycrafting; I'm just connecting interesting looking dots. @Da Git, I'll give these links a more in-depth look later, but I always approach any discussion of folklore with a healthy amount of salt due to long-term pollution of the folktales by centuries/millennia of "outside influence" (cross-cultural pollination, changes to/introduction of new religions, overt historical retconning, etc). Plus, you were right to mention that other RPGs have touched these subjects as well. I'm in the middle of reading the newest Shadowrun sourcebook (Howling Shadows), and actually just got to the section on the Seelie and Unseelie courts this morning. It's funny how we keep reinterpreting the same things again and again.
  10. I'll start by saying I'm basing this off of Shakespearean lore instead of the longer term cultural tales some others are talking about, in no small part due to the fact that Titania was used and not Mab or another similar goddess. If we work with the connection to "A Midsummer Nights Dream", then the play version of Titania also tried to seduce someone not her husband, the mechanical-turned-ass named Bottom. I don't think this Titania trying to court the Grave Spirit denies the eventual existence of an Oberon in Malifaux. Actually, the fact that there's been no mention lets me make assumptions of my own for the time being, and that's almost a victory in and of itself. We shall see what part Lucius has to play in the future, but I have my hopes.
  11. Haven't read any of the fluff related to Titania yes, but my literary background makes me want to throw something at the wall to see if it sticks. Has there been mention of an Oberon yet? Titania, Queen of the Fae's husband goes by that name in the most commonly available sources (Shakespeare being the most readily available), so it would be safe to assume that he can't be far behind. He's also a bit of a trickster, and plays games with those around him (both mortal and fae), that they often don't even realize are going on. So, is there any chance a certain masked master who likes to control and scheme might be Oberon under a different guise? As I said, I'm just spit-balling, but it's a fun line of thought.
  12. Oh, we should all absolutely support our FLGS as much as possible, but I'm a bit nebbish and like to know these things. Word from on high (I asked through a Henchman and then followed up the chain) is that the $60 price point is MSRP of Wyrd stuff on a purchase for anyone else looking for specifics. I'll second this explanation. Friendly Local Game Stores are how these games really survive, and where we can all get together and play, so do your best to shop through them instead of the Internet whenever possible!
  13. Out of curiosity, is the $60 threshold for these promotions based on the total MSRP of the items purchased, or the total price of a purchase after any taxes and coupons are applied?
