Mason Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Rat Catchers are the Outcast's source of Don't Mind Me, which is pretty amazing even if you're not messing around with other rat shenanigans. Then again, bringing even one Rat Catcher more or less means that rat shenanigans are going to happen, so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CannibalBob Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 My metal Hamelin crew is one of the only metal crews I have that I was not considering replacing with plastic. While there are a few metal models I prefer that I have kept here and there, for the most part I prefer the new plastics and I have replaced most of my crews with the new models. This preview has me rethinking that (I will probably keep my metal Hamelin model though since I use the Avatar model with the hat and flute). This box set looks really cool, but I think I want to see more of what is in the Hamelin box set before I decide about picking this one up. I don't mind a billion extra rats, but I don't want too many extra rat catchers that I cannot use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 This is all fine and dandy, but the REAL secret behind this information is thus: June 25th pictures of several books were released, including Brotherhood of the Rat. Next to it, in an identical style of book, is The Crossroads Seven. They'll be a similar release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silencer Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Rat King looks AWESOME ! I would just buy it for him only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 A really clever packaging - the existing Hamelin players will want the Rat Kings so they need to get eight rats and the Catchers as well. If these had been released in the regular way, I'm sure that many people would've just gotten the Kings.I do like the (tiny) renders for these. Rat King looks especially great. At least as much as I can make out. Bigger pics would be much appreciated.The Catcher with the sack is obviously a munchkin fighter playing D&D 3.0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatsInTheWalls Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 These models are excellent indeed. I have a small request regarding it though. Would you please make sure we at least have access to what is in the Hamlin box before this becomes purchasable? It would be potentially disappointing to end up with reasonably unusable models because of redundancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniello_s Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'm not taken by Hamelin's play-style... Feck it, I'm gonna get this box anyway (and Hamelin's box later) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pallas4 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 hum What will be in the hamelin's box? Something of the wave3 ? Except it, it seems to be a realy good box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniello_s Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I presume: Hamelin himself, Nix, Obedient Wretch and 3 Stolen. Pretty standard amount models for the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengt Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I presume: Hamelin himself, Nix, Obedient Wretch and 3 Stolen. Pretty standard amount models for the box. This is what I also assume. It's a bit below average on plastic volume, but it's more than the Brewmaster box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunarSol Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I could see a set of Rats and the King in Hamelin's box as well. Without them, he'd have a lot of non functional things after all. Plus, there has to be another means of getting rats and kings, since the Catcher's are Rare 2. Could just be a single box, but its an interesting situation.

DaddyDarkling Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I had to create myself a forum account just to say my darkest thanks for this 2nd Story Encounter Box and I truly hope there will be more like this to come. With a busy life and difficulties in finding an opponent to play with in this Northern Neverborn land where I live, these special scenarios offer fun challenges for some tactical solo play fun and to lure (pun intended as a Ressers player) in the occassional non-gamer friend who wants to see what these strange figures are all about, but don't want to get into any deeper than one quick scenario of story telling infused fun. So thank you Wyrd for another must buy for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowdragon Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 i really hope this means Hamelin's crew is finally close to being released. I've been waiting since 2e was first announced for plastic Hamelin and his rats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nathan Caroland Posted July 13, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Hamelin will be at Gencon - you'll see an announcement here soon on everything. It's quite a bit actually as we've been working some overtime to make things happen. Some we planned on, others were supposed to be out by now but due to one slip up or another, and some were a nice little extra that wasn't planned on but somehow got shotgunned through unexpectedly. We'll be doing more Story Encounter/Scenario boxes. Right now we have two additional ones finished and another two in the works at the moment. We'll see what the future brings. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker Barrows Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I think this is an awesome idea. I was wondering to myself about how much of a pain it will be to get all the extra stuff to run Hamelin. Putting most of it one box seems like an awesome idea. And the Through the Breach adventure is all about helping them get in. (Not really, but wouldn't that be awesome?) If only you knew a guy who could write a TtB Adventure..... I could see a set of Rats and the King in Hamelin's box as well. Without them, he'd have a lot of non functional things after all. Plus, there has to be another means of getting rats and kings, since the Catcher's are Rare 2. Could just be a single box, but its an interesting situation. I presume we will get Enforcer Boxes with rats and rat kings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freman Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 This is awesome. I'm sure I requested something like this on the forum, but obviously you must have had it planned long before I mentioned it. Well done Wyrd. If I request Sue now, will he pop up soon? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
