the tick

WTH? Isn't he Height 3? I know games are about abstraction but that has to be an error. Scaling was occasionally funky in 2E but this seems worse now. Are other factions having this issue or is Bayou just getting hosed here?

The Kythera focused angle would be a cool theme. My personal opinion, the transition to Keywords in M3E has left a few Bayou Masters with poor cohesion in their visual themes. Thinking Mah Tucket and Zipp here. So my hope would be that if Wyrd does another GREMLIN master they have a clear visual theme that isn't so pastiche.

Thanks for posting the pic. Man that's extremely disappointing. Hard pass. I really wish they got the same treatment as the Nightmare Hamelin crew.

Thanks. Not what I was hoping, but I prefer metal over pre-assembled I suppose.

What material are the Sparkle Steed and Minicorns? Couldn't find that info on the original promo flyer. Hoping for plastic and not pre-assembled?

Anybody have a picture of the sparkle steed compared to the M2E war pig?

Wait what?! Those things are barely bigger than the Squealers! Yeah that must be a scaling error. Very bummed out to see that photo. Ulix got me into the game several years ago and I haven't been able to touch it since the closed beta. Was hoping to pick it back up with Ulix and this is a little disappointing.

Model looks great! But maybe put that bad boy on at least an 80 mm base?

Blast resistant can't lower the damage to 0, the same way as Armor or Bullet-proof. 

 

 

Gotcha. I don't know why I didn't catch that. Somehow forgot that damage reduction worked like that. Thanks!

This might be a question more suitable for the rules forum. Because most of the crew is blast resistant, and that ability doesn't say "may", how do you damage your own crew with Wong's shockwaves?

There's still a community of players in the Puget Sound area as well. I and a few of the other locals are STILL waiting on the pre-order stuff from June....which is frustrating to no end. But having said that, at least up here people are returning to the game. And this is strongly Warmahordes Country, so I suppose that says something.

Also curiously watching what happens with the Rollin's box. Some things that seem weird to me if they were to re-package as an Explorer's Society collection:

- I remember it being pretty expensive? Like almost $100? Seems like a simple fix would be to just break up the box into several boxes, but still odd.

- The models seem a little anachronistic from an aesthetic standpoint, but that argument is maybe a little neck beardy.

- Those models were legitimately the most challenging and frustrating things to put together. Even the slightest alignment error would leave a huge gap between parts of the rider and their mount. I had to replace the handlebars of one of the Ramone's with brass rod because of this. Also, the fiddlyness of the parts seems way over the top (even by Wyrd standards) for a general release. Maybe they'll redesign the sculpts so they're more manageable?

Glad to hear the digital books are still going to be made available to people that bought hard copies. My store still hasn't gotten any of my pre-order stuff in because their distributor is hot garbage. Not sure I'm ever going to get third edition stuff at this rate.

What if they made Collodi an Explorer's Society Master? Isn't he supposed be "searching" for his creator? Pretty far-fetched I'm sure, but then again...that'd be one less master they needed to create.

Yeah any model with Pig keyword essentially counts as being in his keyword. This includes swine cursed!

But unfortunately not Nekima's Totem. *sad trombone*

Alps, Chompy, Coppelius and Dreamer . Classic six model box

His previous iteration had 9 models though right? I know its a new edition and that's like comparing apples and oranges. Maybe I don't know enough about Dreamer I suppose, I thought the Daydreams were so integral to how he functioned they'd be in the crew box.

Edit: HUGE fan of the new Hungering Darkness. Love the new artwork. Kinda reminds me of the creatures from the first Tremors movie.

Curious what's going to be included in the Dreamer core box if the Daydreams are in Deep Sleep?

The Bayou finally gets a "Horseman"! The 'Shine Rider!

Awesome! Thanks for posting. Super happy to see this published. Hopefully my local meta starts playing again.

Still absolutely hate the new card design/dimensions, but otherwise love the work that went into everything.

Only thing I dislike about the game is the pre-assembled nature of the product. I strongly STRONGLY prefer to put my own models together. Removing mold lines from Hordes models has been do-able but an absolute nightmare on models like the Alpha Crawler (almost an inexcusable nightmare). Otherwise I like the product, just wish I could play more!

Does anyone know if the alt nico is the amelia bathory mini or just a different nico?

Yup, Bathory = Alt Nico

Also excited for these mysterious "surprises". Glad to see there's a huge quantity of alts, LEs, and Nightmares available.

Question:

Will the spelling of Ricinante be fixed on the card? I think my card is missing the second 'n', so its spelled Rocinate.

Thanks for the response! I think I was over analyzing the wording on this rule.

Dark Carnival and translucent Lynch crewbox.

Question on how many models to add when a squad with "Reserves (x)" Reinforces. For example the Speckled Crawlers have Reserves (3).
