TheEmptyRoad Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Called it. Instead of Dual-Faction shenanigans, ES is showcasing dual-keyword shenanigans. Between the Malasaurus Rex and these new Spelleater guys, we’re seeing a pattern begin to emerge as the Explorer’s Society also reinforces other keywords. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CustosUmbra Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Yeah, that's awesome. Hope I'll get something for my Freikorps/Obliteration 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theamazingmrg Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Yeah. It was the most logical way to approach the new releases given the current Master balance across Factions. I'm still not convinced that all the new releases will be Explorer's Faction though. There's still plenty of room for existing Faction models that share Explorer Keywords as well.

Ming Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Well, keyword feature allows to introduce Explorer only models with second keywords for other factions. We already have T-rex and these spiders confirmed. Even some other announced models from Apex boxes can be dual keyword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that not ALL will be Explorer's but I'm betting it'll only be a handful that aren't, if they aren't. For one simple reason, faction balance. The existing Factions have 70-75 models in each faction. That's a lot of models that every one not innately Explorer's, will increase that disparity. The other issue is that as it stands, the two existing Masters are already quite flush. While Wastrel is literally the least diverse and least plentiful Master in the game (excepting Master/Totem, 4 unique models, 8 total models, 50SS options), with Ophelia being the only one close (7U, 9T, 58SS), if you doubled Wastrel's options in Explorer's, he'd only be behind Misaki, Shen and Asami for options. Basse is already in second place for Guild. Meaning that I doubt either of these are going to have more than some token Explorer's Guild options. Meaning that the other crews will need to provide sufficient options to make the Faction as a whole at least look proper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchdown Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Zipp is dual faction and only has 3 models in Outcasts, himself, Earl, and Johan. So it's something they've already done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesy Blue Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 The difference is Zipp existed as Bayou only in 2nd edition so never had any reason to have other out of faction models; we're lucky we have Johan(a) at all. Where as Jack Daw already had access to all those Resser models when he was just Outcast, so making him dual faction was almost a no brainer.

Adran Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 And Basse didn't exist at all, so I imagine its possible they had a rough idea of the full frontier crew, and then worked out how to split it between the two. Other Masters (Hoffman and Marcus spring to mind) that became duel faction still don't have as little cross over as Zipp. Wastrel almost certainly needs something extra from the explorers, and I would expect something Frontier, but its not guaranteed. If I remember the beta right Infamous varied from 0 outcast only models to up to 3, depending on what stage we were at, ending at 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Git Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Just discovered this from the Through The Breach Augments... Look at those sexy legs! Can't wait to get my hands on these gals! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesy Blue Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 ..... ew. Maybe I'm not so excited about Spelleaters anymore. Those legs are gonna be hella tough to base. How long ago did this come out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomelessOne Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 The same Waldo’s Weekly where the Soelleaters were unveiled to begin with. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those legs are gonna be hella tough to base. I felt the same way when I saw the art (from the card) then the legs. I'm hoping there's enough contact that I can pin em (as I was able to even pin Kitty / new misaki without too much heartache). That said, part of me wants to just hit up my bits box / ToS male mutipiece sets and give em some darned legs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesy Blue Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Maybe if they're gonna be spiders we can get more legs, like Jorogumo? I have no problem drydering them out for the sake of balance.... but they'll probably be on 30mm bases, which will be hard. I shouldn't have sold all my Tyranids bits!

HomelessOne Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 On the bright side, the Spelleater’s feet look like they might actually make contact inside the base unlike the Jorogumo. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Git Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 So I guess I'm the only one who likes dem sexy legs! Although the released card saying they have 30mm base is slightly scary... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageGatsby Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Kind of looks like the cloak might make contact with the base in that picture, in which case the tripod wouldn't be that difficult to keep upright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
