Looks like you added a ton of cards for old M1E metal models. I really appreciate this as it shows you still value customers that have older models and not just those with all the shiny new stuff. Though I didn't see any of the old metal witchling stalker cards but that is ok as I don't think they have any digital artwork. Still a couple old models that have yet to have their fate decided by cards (rest of dead justice and The wild ones) but I am ok to wait on those.

Did you use GW contrast paints? Looks good. I don't think the pose is all the wrong. Only looks like she is leaning a little too far back.

After seeing the new scuplts for all angles I like the new lady J better than the M2E version. https://reclusestudio.art/projects/Vd43b4

I can't wait. It seems like I really like signing Wyrd NDA's lol

There are a couple youtube videos that are likely worth looking into. I know Guerilla Miniature Games has one and I am sure there are others. Most of all, just ask questions, lots of helpful people around.

I forget where I saw the picture but there has been some comparisons already. The corners are more rounded and it doesn't have the gloss coat. Nothing that is the end of the world and it is to be expected from different manufactures. There where similar issues with M2E cards but the wyrd ones never had the high gloss that they do now.

Well maybe if we are lucky when they are done doing all the alt cards they will do a print run of the better quality cards. Not holding my breath or bashing Wargame Vault but they just don't make the same quality (or even shape) of the new cards.

I would be fine with playing on a table like that. Sure it could use a bit more but not much. Sometimes theme and setting are more important than having a perfect 1/3rd table of terrain.

Its nice to see people admit when they are wrong. I had scene the leaked pics of them from last years gencon so I had an idea what they are going for. Now with the back of the box pics it shows it clear as day. Sometimes we just have to give the artist the benefit of the doubt till we see the whole picture. I don't think they would have ever been green lit if they where as bad as everyone was making them out to be.

When I looked it seemed like they didn't have all the faction sets. Same thing with my other plastic crack dealer. He didn't get everything that he preordered. So a definite fail by the distributor yet again.

Bet they are packing it in by moose.

I am going to go with blame customs for delaying my plastic crack habit.

I now picture Smaug laying on a pile of M3E goodies. So no chance caught in customs or some other silly reason? I can only imagine the headaches distributors have caused you with this release.

Anyone know whats up with Canadian distributors and not having M3E stuff yet? My regular plastic crack dealer has said multiple distributors still don't have anything. Either they where the only ones not in the world to not order anything or they are not telling the whole story. Time to fire up the printer I guess. Big thanks to Wyrd for making all the cards available already.

Aaaaaaannd now I know what I am spending my store credit from the iron painter on. More plastic crack sir? why yes please serve me up. Ohh I just noticed! Now my Dwead Pwite Robinson will have a family!

Pics or it didn't happen 😛

I would also check the list wyrd posted a while back, you would see they have said what boxes are changing or getting new sculpts (no specifics though). For example we know Perditas new box has no new models but now includes cute ole granny rather than her be in a second box (from the release listings). So we know there is a lot of amalgamation of current sculpt boxes. As for the rest of the releases I wouldn't be surprised if any are delayed. We have all seen what the political climate is with anything Chinese manufactured these days. I am thinking that it is causing some premature greying for a lot at wyrd. https://www.wyrd-games.net/news/2018/12/12/waldos-weekly-i-am-the-keyword-master

Man I always rated Wyrd as a C maybe C+ company 🤷‍♂️ I give Nathan a D- though 😛(just kidding he has always been a straight shooter and I like it) Kimberly gets an A+ for great customer service and the design teams gets an F for not making 19 versions of Sonnia for me to buy...

I don't think you should blame whyrd for you lack of knowledge on a very popular file sharing site. You are easily able to navigate the factions and the cards are well organized within their folders. Since you are on an ipad though who knows what could be up as Apple seeme to refuse to do things like everyone else does. That said you are the only person I have heard of that has had to download the whole thing just to view cards. As to the box releases well no one knows what is in them because they haven't openly released that info, nor when they would come out. You may have found it otherwise so I am not sure why you are coming here in a huff asking where your plastic toys are. PS if you had done some actual digging you would have seen that both the crew boxes in question have been leaked from Gencon and other convention pictures. You would be able to put 2 and 2 together to see what comes in each box.

*Twiddling fingers* A fine addition to my collection.

So lets just lay all the cards on the table. You created an account yesterday. You are a game designer. You read new rules made by a competitor. You didn't think they where an improvement yet provided no examples of how said models where cuddled (if that can even be a thing when EVERYTHING got new rules). You said you are disappointed by what you have read but not anything about playing the new game. You then came to said competitors forums to throw shade. Not sure what type of reply you are looking for but most of them are going to be negative by the people who have actually played the new edition.

chihuahua Warmahordes whole grimpkin line has been said to be a complete wyrd ripoff. There are other companies that are starting to use the software wyrd must use for their mold designs as I have seen some with the same sprew tree design. I don't look at anything on models as unnecessary. If that is what the designer envisioned then that is how it is made. Who am I to tell someone who designs in said world what is necessary or not. Maybe they where given a story to go with the art work that defines how it is made (as is often the case on lots of wyrd minis). Styles and trends change, maybe pauldrons have become all the rage on earth side of the breach so now everyone wears them. Or maybe around that time Malifaux became a much more dangerous place so people started carrying more supplies on them. Maybe the new artist likes to have more trinkets for people to carry Again necessary is a very subjective thing, if you don't like it because it doesn't fit your vision then that's fine, again it is your view. Newer models have definitely moved to a less finicky and assembly nightmare than a lot of old models. The yields have likely increased as well as a result. The new models have had less cry's of damn Yan lo's beard and 6 piece zombie chihuahua's. Some sacrifices in thin parts likely had to be made to cover the skill level of all people. To me malifaux still stands apart from anyone out there in level of detail as well as storytelling with each model.

Great now I have to walk around looking over my shoulder all the time 😛

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw these cards sooner than later, wyrd is pretty good about listening to people. Give them some time to get their house back in order and see what happens.

Ugg this has been done to death already (more so on the facebook page). Art is subjective and not everyone is going to like the same thing as someone else. You may be seeing digital sculpts that look much better in person for one thing. Or maybe you just don't like the new models, nothing wrong with that and they don't invalidate your old models (some models of which have 3-4 versions already). If anything the competitors are copying wyrd (looking at you warmahordes). Styles are going to slightly change as artists come and go. Malifaux models have always have had tons of detail so I will disagree with you on that but in the end it is ok to disagree. At least you didn't start on the whole all the new models are static posed train.
