Popular Post Kyle Posted March 6, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hey Wyrdos, This week, we found Waldo rummaging through the M3E rulebook. At first, we got excited because we thought he was trying to learn the game, but as it turns out, the amount of ink each visual example requires makes the pages an impish delicacy. Maybe our Henchmen are brave enough to teach him how to play, but we’re not. We like our hands right where they are, thank you very much. Before he ate all of the pages, we couldn’t help but notice the stealth reveal of a Master’s new look in one of those examples. We figured that showing off what the rest of her art looks like is probably the right thing to do. So let’s take a look at the Ten Thunders’ new Oyabun, Misaki! When building a Misaki Crew, players will be focusing on dancing in the dark by utilizing stealth and movement Abilities that make Last Blossom models hard to see and hard to hit. The combination of Misaki’s Into Shadow and From Shadow Abilities allow her to hide from her opponent by Burying while simultaneously placing Destructible Concealing Shadow Markers on the table that (generally) only the other members of her Crew have the experience to see through. Other Last Blossom models are going to be utilizing those Shadow Markers in special ways, too. For example, not only can Ototo drop them, but if he’s also in line of sight of Misaki, he can create a pulse to hand out Slow (from his Action, The Storm is Coming), which will help to keep the enemies he wants nearby to stick around for a while. In addition, Minako Rei can summon Katashiro by discarding Shadow Markers (with her Create Katashiro Action), Yamaziko can draw cards and Pass Tokens on her Unworthy of Her Attention Trigger, Torakage can teleport to Shadow Markers and turn them into Scheme Markers (with the Ninja Vanish Action), and the Thunder Archers can bring the pain by handing out more damage to models that are lingering too close to those Shadow Markers (via their Shadow Pin Trigger). And that’s just the beginning of the synergies involved with Misaki and her Last Blossom Crew. To celebrate her new rank as Oyabun, we’ll be providing a wallpaper of Misaki Katanaka’s glorious new look, too! Next week, we’re letting Waldo rest a bit while we’re in Reno, visiting the fine folks at GAMA. Hopefully the office isn’t burned to the ground before we get back. 8 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yool1981 Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 The artwork is very nice, please keep on that trend ! I don’t get what the 3 spikes on her back are supposed to be though. I am also not convinced about the practicality of her weapon (the pick axe part seems too much). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a Wyrd miniature without some form of delicate feature that breaks off the first time you take it out of your case. Without them there would be no tears to power Wyrd HQ. 😉 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're getting none from me. Unless silent, internal screams work. In that case; you're welcome. Edit: Also, I've got some Goryo ordered so if you have any high energy use process you need to run, you can start that up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAYNE Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 I must have powered you guys throughout much of the last month solely on the Iron Skeeters. "What do you MEAN the handle goes through the body first?!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saduhem Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Gorgeous art! And @matt's comment truly explains the truth behind Goryo assembly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So separate feet will continue to be a Thing? Great! :D I love the Art btw. I think it Looks like Misaki is done with playing games and down to Business!

Da Git Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 As often is the case, This one took a bit to grow on me, but now I love it! I think I might have to add a 4th Misaki to my collection... I think her Bisento is growing spikes... Metal version had none, M2E had 1 set, M3E has 2 sets... If we end up at M30E it'll look like a porcupine! Also wondering if there was any historical inspiration to the back spikey thing? While it looks cool, it must be pretty impractical with her ponytail...

If we end up at M30E it'll look like a porcupine! If a Bisento is anything like a Bo, many moves would be very hurtful imho. She has to use soulstones to heal the damages of the pick axe to her fingers during her fighting moves... Same for the spikes on the back.
