dancater Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Well folks for those who have not already seen it the Chronicles is stating GenCon will be a ridiculous smorgasbord of Malifaux goodness. Towards the last pages it has a coming to GenCon page which lists (with box pictures and some renders) the following crews. Nightmare Whiskey Golem (Justin's tweak ) Dreamer The Kin Von Schill Zorida Kirai (I think) Lucius If this is all made available for the coming weekend after next I'll be going online store berserk, several crews there which I have been waiting on and it finishes all the Wave 1 crews except for the Brewmaster which I hope will be real, real soon given the Golem. Also contained within the Chronicle is art and pre-release adverts for.... The Arcane Fate Deck's, in light and dark which appear to be a fairly standard fate deck though with sweet art and it appears very nice on card reference. The Strats and Scheme deck including a contents breakdown and some images. All round got to say if this is the GenCon releases (and more.... ???) then I will be satisfied and yet frustrated because I wants, I wants now and the courier dolphins to Australia are so very slow. Rathnard I believe you are a fellow Aussie and I envy you damn it all. Looking forward now to an announcement, come Wyrd fulfil this promise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Made a slight tweak to that for you. ^ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 The Kin are a little static looking for me, but I'm very excited about zoraida and am tempted to get lucius and/or kirai though I have a set already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Ooh, lots of nice stuff spoiled so far. Unfortunately I already have painted versions of all of those crews (I shouldn't really be surprised...). I might just pick up Zoraida anyway - it's probably time I updated some of her models. Hmm, maybe Lucius too so I can do up a Neverborn version of him. I'm still hanging out for some of the crews without models though (Shenlong, Toni, half the Gremlin Masters, etc). Otherwise I'll be searching for some proxies before the year is out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Shine Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Oooo, multiple bases for multiple Lucius... stop talking me into buying kits for people I already own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoi Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Well I'm pretty sure I will be picking up Z from this list an dwho knows ... I have been wanting to do some earthy natural painting for a while and Z combined with Marcus looks to be my ticket on that train. Big fan of the render for Bad Juju Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the plastic versions of your crews and paint them....not....pink? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zFiend Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Um.. So the Nightmare is just the Whiskey Golem from the book? That's disappointing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Has there been any confirmation as to if the new decks are that plastic couted thingy or regular paper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrouchingMoose Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Um.. So the Nightmare is just the Whiskey Golem from the book? That's disappointing. It's been pointed out that there is also art of the whiskey golem without the gremlins, which some people think will be the normal version (I'm inclined to agree with this, plus I have a feeling the Nightmare one will be larger in general). I'm willing to bet that the nightmare one will be the size of Nightmare LCB and Hoffman's Avatar (so MASSIVE compared to everything else) and the non nightmare will be the size of the ice golem at most.

DeleteAccount Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Sooooo, anyone want to buy some PRO PAINTED Kirai models?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Get the plastic versions of your crews and paint them....not....pink? Better Idea: Get plastic versions of my non-pink crews, and paint them pink. Hmm, Kirai's sounding a little more appealing now. Although a pink skinned Ophelia crew does have a certain appeal... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Um.. So the Nightmare is just the Whiskey Golem from the book? That's disappointing.I'm guessing they got Whiskey Golems but they were again upscaled by about 50% or so. This probably happened around the same time they got the deficient Brewie and Ophelia boxes. "When life hands you lemons you make lemonade" and so they decided that the golem was a good Nightmare release since it's so big. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"When life hands you lemons you make lemonade" and so they decided that the golem was a good Nightmare release since it's so big. Certainly a possibility. I suspect batch size would be an issue though - I doubt they'd have ordered enough Golems in the initial batch (that went wrong) to satisfy the additional demand caused by him being a Nightmare Ltd Ed. They could of course have just ordered another batch of over-sized Golems. All speculation of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dryzen Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Um.. So the Nightmare is just the Whiskey Golem from the book? That's disappointing. Eric Johns was talking about this on Facebook in A Wyrd Place. He said something along the lines of "Sometimes we love a model's LE art so much that it Kinda becomes the standard art even tho it's not the standard model" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypoking Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Still, the big exclusive surprise model for this convention is something we've known about since before last year's convention. Think we're allowed to be mildly disappointed about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adran Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 They wil be on the website during Gencon, so starting sometime Wednesday 13th and be taken off Sunday 17th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 The thing people need to note with the Whiskey Golem. If you take the original artwork and scale it for the Gremlins (so they are the correct size compared to other gremlins), you end up with something approximately the size of a Sherman Tank, this thing is huge. And it only becomes apparent when you get it on the Scaling grid and try to work out what size it should be... IT'S FRICKING HUGE. It can pat the Nightmare Chompy on the head, and go "who's a cute ickle thing" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
