Popular Post MattM Posted May 13, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hey Wyrdos! This week Waldo decided he’d cozy up with some popcorn, a cask of orange soda, some minty-fresh toothpaste, and his favorite steel wool blanket. What was the occasion? A true crimes show marathon, of course! Not everyone in the office was a fan, but Waldo said that the only thing better than a good murder mystery is a good party. We’re not quite sure how those two connect in his mind, but we’re keeping an eye out all the same. While we’re avoiding Waldo’s plans for what he’s calling “murder brunch”, we thought it would be fitting to show off one of the latest Explorer’s Society models with a background equally excessive and mysterious! The man who helped found Winston Dirigibles and survived the Massacre at the Star Theater (after returning under mysterious circumstances): Winston Finnigan himself! Winston is a showstopper and utterly charming man, brought out when his employers need someone to handle the more delicate social side of things. As you can see by his card, he’s quite good at doing so. He’s also very lucky… after all, there was a reason Fate put him at the Star Theater that night… Who hasn’t dreamt about rubbing shoulders with the rich and powerful? Just make sure you’re up to the job; Celebrity, Don’t Mind Me, and Luck Thief make it difficult to get Winston’s attention and pin him down. Escape boring conversationalists with Fortune’s Favor (even better: send them off on a Dirigible Ride!), or admonish them with Sharp Wit. Best be careful, though. Finnigan is a man of incredible luck, and he’s got his ways of making sure things go his way. That’s all for this week, Wyrdos. Waldo may think he’s the life of the party, but he’s too engrossed in his documentaries to start any trouble. We think. We’re counting on Waldo’s natural laziness to kick in and last until at least next week! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueskies_overhead Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Is it just me, or does this guy seem a bit overpowered? Maybe should be 9 points or more? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pallas4 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Red and Black... will he be able to do bonus shares? Or an action that list a model by name or attaching upgrade? Summoning? The last point may seem stupid but it can allow to have models to kill for public enemies... or reach the limitation of summoning upgrades.

Stonewall78 Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 I find the wording on "Don't Mind Me" awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's better just to fail the summoning, so the summoner can't summon that turn (since it's one per turn) 1 hour ago, blueskies_overhead said: Is it just me, or does this guy seem a bit overpowered?

Seems definitely over the top for 8ss, but I think we should wait until we see the whole keyword. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I so much want to paint this model - now! Awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJay Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 This dude looks incredibly powerful. Considerably more potent than any other 8-stone models I know of. Taking damage to add any suit you like is a good trade off, but when combined with Luck Thief and Winston's high defensive stats, it's likely that he's going to be gaining that health back at a reasonable rate. Fortune's Favor would be potent if it just let you look at, discard and replace the top 4 cards as you choose for 1AP and no target number. But add the option for free movement on top of that... Basically, my 2 scrip is that Winston doesn't seem to have any down-sides to him and would probably be an auto-include in any Explorer's Society crew, even OOK. I like the fluff and the character design is awesome, but currently Winston Finnigan feels unbalanced compared to everything else in 3rd Ed.

Vangerdahast Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 The bottom of the card says "subject to change". Perhaps it is a WIP card and the final release won't be this good. But I like the Performer vibe of this model (perhaps he should share this Keyword). Will look at Syndicate Keyword at the release of Explorer's Society.

Tryant of death Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 This is really over powered you could do well with bomb mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGrandpa Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Man, this guy just further disprove my fanfiction about Bayou being supported by some sort of Luck-based Tyrant. My 2nd theory however, with them being a supported by a Booze-Tyrant seems to flourish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
