Saracenar Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'm not sure who was in charge of doing the boxes, but they got the models for Captain Dashel and the Guard Sergeant mixed up. It is clearly the Guard Sergeant in that box, since Dashel's card lists him as having a Baton and the Sergeant's card lists him as having a Breaching Axe. So...that's a little awkward. I hope the art on the stat cards isn't switched around as well! Has no one else noticed this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 You mean that big baton he has tucked in his belt? (Oo-err) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 It's honestly pretty strange that he tucks away that huge axe and brings out his baton when the fight comes around though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Do we actually have a confirmation of the contents of the box? The Dashel/ Guard Sergent debate is probably going to run for another 6 days. Either could be in the Lucius box quite legitimately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saracenar Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 This was on the A Wyrd Place Facebook page, not sure where the original came from. It's clearly meant to be the Sergeant; why would Dashel use a Baton instead of an Axe, especially when the cards say one has a Baton and the other has an Axe?

Arli Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Well, there is a baton in his belt, unless he is just happy to see Lucius. Conceivably, he could be played as either model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 While I'm not saying I think it's odd or that its not, 'meant to be' is something only wyrd can really know. Maybe they decided this way worked better, or they wanted the drill sergeant to look different to his old variant. He got promoted to captain during beta after all...

Dirial Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 So they made him look more like a stereotypical sergeant? And? The sergeant may look totally different. I like Dashel. May be weird that he doesn't use his axe in battle, but it's still not as weird as Seamus turning Killjoy into a Rotten Belle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saracenar Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Well, I have the old metal crew and I'm certainly not going to use the fat guy with only an axe and a pistol as Dashel and the guy with a baton as the Sergeant. I thought it was pretty clear during the beta that the old Drill Sergeant model became Dashel and the old Guild Guard Captain became the Guard Sergeant. Seems odd they'd decide to make Dashel fat considering the original model with the baton was not in the slightest bit overweight. Yes, I see the Baton under his belt but it just seems silly to me. It's pretty clear that the model with the Axe should be the Sergeant, the model whose stat card clearly states he has an axe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, that's not very nice. I don't see him as "fat", more built like a bank safe. Seriously, he doesn't look that fat to me. Also, since I don't have the old models, I have no problem with the new ones looking different. I like the model. Maybe the Sergeant will have an axe, too?

Saracenar Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 The old metal model is definitely fat. His gut is hanging out from under his shirt. That's what I was referring to. Don't get me wrong, I like the model. I just don't like that they are clearly selling the Guard Sergeant model with "Dashel" taped to his forehead (or rather, tucked into his belt).

Vorschlag Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Completely agree, will be converting the model or using the original, voiced this when the art work was initially released, the model looks more like a thug than a disciplined Guild officer (that doesn't appeal to me). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike3838 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I agree that this certainly *feels* like a switch has taken place. That art bears every resemblance to the old Guard Captain (and his rules), so it's very odd. That being said, many of us with the old metal Captain model suddenly find us with a very reasonably proxy for Dashel.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengt Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 And? The sergeant may look totally different. How is that important? This guy will still look like a stereotypical sergeant, he has simple clothes, he is shouting and pointing (though he points with his index finger like a little girl), and he definitely has a gut, it may be more of a strongman gut, but still a gut.

Ah. I wasn't aware of such a stereotype. He looks every bit like a captain to me, as well. Giving commands an all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The German equivalent would be an "under officer", I think. Having just heard the story in Crossroads from Nathan, who did story time, that is definitely Captain Dashel. Awesome!
