Pyrflamme Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 It might be that Wyrd considered that a lot of masters could make use of Ryle outside of Hoffman (I believe Levi can take Ryle with an upgrade, and the last iteration of Ramos' Avatar upgrade let him take Guild constructs?), and decided to split Ryle off to a separate kit for those that want Ryle but not at the expense of buying a crew box for a faction they might not be interested in at that time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poko Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I dig the Levi and Lucious boxes. Not sure about Hoff's box, it seems a bit sparse with only hunter, guardian and flyer, but i guess they're pretty big models so it'll balance out.

Isn't much of the same true for Joss, though? As in, can't Levi and Hoffman both hire him in some way? I'd say it's more a matter of "Okay, sprue's full, guess Ryle will be alone" than any purchasing considerations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniello_s Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Leveticus box comes without Desolation Engine... Cool I have old metal one why would I need other? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapten Vendetta Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 "Okay, sprue's full, guess Ryle will be alone" Well...not to, you know, step on any toes or anything, but...isn't Ryle, you know, Socially Repressed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork_Fish Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 The box art for Hoffman looks...odd? I don't think that's the finished box art, and I can't imagine that they could justify a box with that little in it. Even the Kirai boxset (which is nominally playable right out of the box) had more than this. Levi's box set is brilliant, and I can't deny that I've been waiting for it since they first revealed the art back in the first beta. He's gone from a weird, generic old man into the evil bastard lovechild of Peter Cushing and Peter Capaldi. Him and Alyce make a nice set. The creepy new abominations and the bimbonies are just gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocSchlock Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Hoffman's box, just from the cover (and knowing the totem is in there), comes out to 21 stones with no upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticPangolin Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I wonder how/if any of Hoff's bots will be available seperately... I would like 2 of each of them and already have the metal crew. It would make sense and there's precedent (eg Death Marshalls, Punk Zombies) but those are for identically-statted models.

StormLordXIII Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Really excited for the new Leveticus box - the renders look like the minis will do the new art justice, which is impressive considering that the new Leveticus art is so great. I'm particularly thrilled to see the new Alyce mini, I think her new concept is fantastic! All I can say is "Boom, headshot!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zFiend Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Those models are likely to be huge. So that's why the plastic boxes are more expensive. Because of the totems? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I saw Brewie's crew on the WarStore's page too... Any chance we'll see him soon?It has been there for ages (since the original release announcement of Brewie's box) but then the box was recalled and it has been in limbo ever since. Might come out this year or next year but it being on the page doesn't mean anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those might not appear on the box art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linus Mcmold Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I've seen the same pre-orders on Elementgames (except for the Brewmaster). Might be significant for the gamers who live in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertmac Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 If there is a duplicate of anything i'd expect it to be a hunter as they are rare 2. Otherwise they'll need to release a single model box. Again that element games preorder box only shows the front frustratingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreepingDeath Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 The Hoffman box is the only box without the back of said box shown while the rest are. Seems awfully strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been pretty good about Rare models getting unique sculpts whenever possible, though the Trapper broke this trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticPangolin Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I'd hope that there WEREN'T 2 Hunters in Hoffman's box as they are rare 2; if you wanted duplicates of the others you'd end up with unwanted extra robot harpoon alleycats.

zFiend Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Good for Leveticus players that Ryle is sold separately. But it sure is becoming a trend not to include Henchmen in the boxes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
