Orboros Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Didn't expect the wheel to be this broad. Looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yool1981 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Now this is everything I like. Original, elegant, creepy/funny and well sculpted. I love this mini. Still my everlasting remark, how doest it fit on a 50mm base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengt Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Looks as bad as the art implied. Two thumbs down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if all the Emissaries weren't out at Gencon. This isn't based on anything, mind, no insider information or anything, I just think that it would make sense. As for the render, I like it for the most part. It looks like this might be the first Wyrd mini that I need to paint in pieces, though... And I really hope that you can pin that bait Gremlin to something. The pig looks excellent! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the front view, it appears the bait gremlin is trying to save himself and has a finger on the wheel. Not great, but its something.

I'm kinda hoping they release everything from book 2 before the Emissaries but I could total see them dropping all of them at Gencon along with the new book. Book 3 did not have too many models in it so if book 4 has similar amount then they will catch up with them selves. All of book 3 models might not be out by book 4 but I bet all of book 4 models will be out by book 5. Trying not to veer to far off topic but does anyone know what book 4 will be like? Back to the render, I like how they put in little details that makes it look like that wheel could function mechanically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaphoricDragn Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 ... Is that pig wearing at least one shoe? why gremlins, why?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uruk Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Damn Wyrd! I'm throwing money at the screen but nothing happens!!! AAAAARGH!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_acolyte Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 So the real question, how many parts is it and how many of those are just for different heads.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Head? Feh! You see those nails in all the boards? Every one will be a separate piece, You are probably going to have to build this sucker as if you were really building it! Yan Lo's beard will have nothing on this!

Pyrflamme Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Love the model...makes me that much more tempted to expand my Gremlins from Brewmaster alone to Zoraida/Ulix. The Lucky Emissary must be very good at balancing to keep that platform upright, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solkan Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Curse you, Wyrd, for making me want to buy more Gremlins! I look at the model and my heart is filled with fear. Is that plastic rope going to be strong enough to hold Carrot (the gremlin tied up) in position like that without a contact point between the frame and Carrot? It's a great visual, but it would have a lot more structural integrity (and move around less during painting) if one of Carrot's hands smacked against the frame or something, instead of just floating at the end of the rope.

Breath, you are better than that. You are stronger than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I'm wondering the same for all of them, unless they're smaller than I think they are. They do look gorgeous though... I really love this sculpt, it just has so much character to it! Having the three different bodies all doing such radically different things is brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpectreEliteGaming Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Sold. Not a very good model for gameplay but will look great warming the tray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidd Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 How does their platform stay up as the wheel rotates? Have to agree with Bengt here. The characters look pretty good but the model as a whole looks pretty bulky and has a lot of material devoted to just chunks of wood. The Carrion, Brutal and Mysterious emissaries by contrast are all much more imposing and dynamic models without much cruft. I feel like the Lucky Emissary was a bit of a waste compared to the others, anyway, since it was basically the Lucky Effigy on a vehicle. Ho hum.

D6Damager Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Love the model...just wish it had better support for the various masters and less random rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
