ArcticPangolin Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I liked the silent menace of the original, sort of wished they could have built on that. This is alright but would make a damn fine Guilty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocSchlock Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Isn't his story in Crossroads just him gliding around, laughing, and killing people? He's completely, utterly insane and having a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengt Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Isn't his story in Crossroads just him gliding around, laughing, and killing people? He's completely, utterly insane and having a blast. He is described as being drawn to a place where there has been a betrayal, murdering everyone regardless if any one individual has ever betrayed anyone. Then he is drawn to next place, rinse and repeat. As described he completely lacks agency, being more of a force of nature. There certainly isn't any indication that he is "having a blast". A character that lacks agency can have a roll as a side character but as the main (which I expect a Master to be) I find them utterly boring.

Linoosthelost Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Im not a fan of "frozen-mid-action"poses , if you understand what I mean, so this one really doesnt do it for me... and something about the knot on the rope looks wrong, it is like it is to small/thin compared to the rest of the rope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guslado Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I've never had the desire to play Jack Daw before, but I certainly want to paint this model. Keep the beautiful sculpts coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiveCommander Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Stupid wyrd and their pretty models tempting me to yet another master. May as well just get everything eh?! Wyrd are great at doing this in a way that doesn't make you feel like your wallet is bleeding out. As someone in my gaming group said last night; first it was the Viks, then Levi, then everything else in the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpectreEliteGaming Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 It's true - this game more than any other makes you want everything in the whole damn game. Warhammer? I'm cool with my sexy chaos dwarves... I'd only ever look into outlaws/lawmen in WWX (not doing another game though) but this game? I want freaking everything. JD's my favorite master and I had overly high hopes for this one I think. Aside from Mei Feng this might be the worst crew box in the game for me (just my opinion). But then you see something like Ironsides and its... Mother of God! ---- IMO JD is most deserving of a nightmare edition. Pretty please. With sugar on top.

still-young Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I think he looks amazing, can't wait to see the rest of the crew too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowdragon Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I don't see why people favour the original jack daw over this one. If anything this one, with a good paint job, is a lot more menacing and looks a lot better. To me the original just looks like a skinny guy doing the pee pee dance.

Flint Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 First JD was creepy. This one looks... very healthy. A lot of gym visits during this breach shutdown years i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 First JD was creepy. This one looks... very healthy. A lot of gym visits during this breach shutdown years i guess. Hoffman and JD are new gym bro's. They're doing major reps at the new gym in town: Shredtown. Gunslingers have been seen there as well.

moxypoo Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Honestly, it's a rare miss from me, but only because I love the original sculpt so much. I've always pictured Jack as sombre and menacing, although the new story in Crossroads doesn't support this view. This new sculpt definitely supports that story well, but I like the original better. That said, I'm still going to buy the box when it comes out anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowseer Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I know we just had the early release schedule a couple of weeks ago, but seriously when is Jack going to hit my FLGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moxypoo Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 The feel I got from the Crossroads story is Jack doesn't just deal out vengeance, it becomes an elemental force like a riot. Which, being my opinion, I like a lot more than just another menacing figure. This is one of the boxes I am waiting for based just on fluff. That's the impression I got too, and I think it allows for some neat character development. I love the artwork we've seen for the other members of Jack's crew, and I own the new plastic Hanged (which are excellent by the way), so I can't wait for the box to be released. Plastic Jack Daw will find use as something - avatar maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHood Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'm actually a big fan of the Jack Daw render I hope they stick with it. Hopefully not too long before the crew box is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranglelove Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I don't know why everybody is complaining. I'm gonna get two. One for my official Jack Daw crew. And for my second Jack Daw, I'm gonna paint his pants red, his skin white, put an electric guitar in his hands, call him Doof, and play this when I put him on the board: https://youtu.be/tQBnlWAMq_Q?t=3m54s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you can do that to Jack Daw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapthem Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 hoping this guy gets a crew box with some of the necessary tormented, that day, will be a good day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
