mythicFOX Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yeah I think it looks sweet, not as sweet as the Mech rider but then I'm biased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Shine Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Uh, it has a blade for a unicorn horn, thats fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collodi_puppet Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I have to say the artwork for the three riders so far is just supreme and now I cannot wait to see what they do with the pale rider. I was never a big fan of the old dead rider, but this dude with the bent scythe made out of bone, the Skeletor hood and of course those thick fur boots, just make him so awesome. Certainly enough to push me to start collecting rezzers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeleteAccount Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Well, what I can't deny is that they all have a very strong "ye olde viking theme", I'm just not really feeling it with them completely, so I'll justs take it as a "not my thing" situation. Pale sounds to be more Marshalesque according to the fluff in the Wyrd blog which would break this choesion though (and maybe make him even more redundunat with the Lone Marshal).

daemonkin Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 The other new rider artwork is fantastic but there was just something menacing about hooded rider's mount with the evil look and the snakes everywhere. The rider did leave a lot to be desired in the final sculpt but the old Dead Rider art was awesome IMHO. Looking forward to being proved wrong with the new plastic sculpts. D.

jonahmaul Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Don't like the silly blade for a horn on the horse's head but that's easily enough removed but otherwise it's ok. There's a really good Confrontation miniature I was thinking of using as a Dead Rider though so I may just end up using that (when I can remember what it's called and where I found it!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonkin Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 @Jonahmaul - I have that model (the undead guy with the wavy cloak) if you want it it's yours. He was my proxy dead rider but I kinda prefer the Wyrd one D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Math Mathonwy Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 There are actually several possibilities. Asura de Sarlath or one of the Scavengers are the most likely. Check here:http://underthemountainblog.com/athenaeum/aarklash-archive/factions/limbo-of-acheron/But I suppose one of the Horned Riders of the Drune is also possible.

MightyGodzilla Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Just a point of clarification. I'm *fairly* certain I'm the only Wyrd employee who posts on Dakka, and I made no such statement (I avoid any questions about shipping like the plague - because it's not my place). That said, there is info on that in a KS update: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1334239018/through-the-breach-a-malifaux-roleplaying-game/posts/918475 Update: "You should be getting one of these soon! (well, one appropriate to your pledge level). Fully packed this box is just about 10 lbs! Our goal is to see all the boxes shipped by the end of the month, miniatures included. As a thank you for your patience your box will include some additional miniatures (up to a full Malifaux box set at random), to give you supplies to get your TTB campaign going. Thanks all! Eric" That's the post from Dakka Justin. Page 51 of their TtB Kickstarter thread in the Malifaux section, A guy named Eric posted it. I don't remember his last name, but I've seen his posts on "A Wyrd Place" as well. Edit: -It's the same post as he made in your Kickstarter link.

MightyGodzilla Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Soooo many amazing models. Confrontation has been dead for a long time now. I cherish every Rackham model I got prior to its demise. Like you said, "Soooo many amazing models."!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowfane Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Quick question - as I understand it, models available at gencon will also be available on the webstore - are customers from, say, the UK alright to order from wyrds webstore? Obviously the postage will be a bit of a bitch, but needs must when models must be bought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the postage will be a bit of a bitch, but needs must when models must be bought! Yeah, like every year, you should be able to order without a problem (shipping costs allowing of course). Just accept that it will take a while for your order to get shipped and personal recommendation, don't pick up books, they increase the shipping costs by a TON.

Forar Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yeah, between the weight and the increased box size, when I was looking at S&H a couple years back, it doubled when I tried adding a book. It's a pretty hefty jump. I assume you already know, but it's also worth noting that sales will be at full MSRP. Now, many justify this by supporting Wyrd, paying a premium to get things possibly months before retail, and the 'value' found in the Miss ______ model, assuming they spend enough to qualify, but it's worth doing the mental math and determining where the cutoff point is for you. After S&H, MSRP and exchange, $100 in items during the sale might cost me $130+ US, but be bought at local shops for $80-90 or less. Getting them early, getting a Miss (that might cost $20-40+ on her own) and whatnot can make it a solid buy all the same (hell, some people will gleefully order 3-4+ times to qualify for multiple Misses, extra shipping and all), but for those of us on slightly more limited disposable income, I found it a tough call to make at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the postage will be a bit of a bitch, but needs must when models must be bought! I ordered for 250 $ at Black Friday (strange concept - I never even heard of it before the Wyrd sale) and paid around 30 $ for shipping by FedEx. Included were 5 Rules Manuals. Taxes not included, obviously. It took about a week to get to Germany after Wyrd notified me that it was on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengt Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I ordered for 250 $ at Black Friday (strange concept - I never even heard of it before the Wyrd sale) You don't get news stories in Germany about Americans actually killing each other trying to get first to the sales? Remember Shadow, HMRC like to take their share too. It stung me last year when I ordered for Black Friday. I haven't ordered from Wyrd but from other American places and if you are unlucky customs plucks your package out of the bin and adds 25% tax and a fee (and tax on the fee). Doesn't happen that frequently in Sweden though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyGodzilla Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 You know, someone may have simply copied and pasted this from the Kickstarter update to Dakka? Not being privy to the Kickstarter link that Justin put up prior to today, I hadn't thought of that. But regardless of who posted it on Dakka, the original post was from Eric. And he's a Wyrd guy isn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
