Popular Post MattM Posted July 1, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Hey Wyrdos! Waldo decided he’d try and become an inventor this week. He grabbed a bunch of random odds (scissors, yogurt lids) and ends (shoelaces, sticky notes) from everyone in the office. Then he stole the office microwave before anyone could stop him. We didn’t see him for a few (wonderfully) quiet days, but that was the calm before the storm. Waldo burst from his laboratory this afternoon chased by a furious machine (simultaneously cooking a chicken pot pie and destroying everything) that looked suspiciously like it was once a microwave. While we hide from Waldo’s creation (which he swears he has under control…), let’s show off another solitary inventor who is far more successful. This is Gibson DeWalt, a new member of the Explorer’s Society with some shady ties. It’s been a while since the inventor has used his light-bending technology, but now he’s been called out of retirement. DeWalt brings those pieces of tech to the battlefield. Take a look at his stat card: Pretty neat, right? If nothing else, it’s worth taking Gibson DeWalt so you can say all the cool names of his abilities while you use them. That’s all for this week, Wyrdos. Stay tuned, as we’ll soon be revealing more exciting things that usually start happening around this time of the year. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muraki Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Oh! Was wondering if we were going to get a weekly today with the other post. Glad to see we got something. Coming out of retirement huh? Maybe I need to go back through my old edition lore books... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffaluffacus Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 So...He is Dua key word? But works with Umbra models? Unless there is a messup somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be similar to how Lucius has Elite and Mimic, and most of his models only have one of those keywords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchdown Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Or it could be like Sandeep where he is academic but can hire elemental models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Lucius, Sandeep, Marcus, Yan lo, Sonnia, Ulix all have some mulit keyword thing going on to some extent, so quite how its going to work we'll just have to see. But yes, we expect the Explorers society to end with 8 masters all with new keywords. Waldo has spoiled a few names and keywords already, and Wyrd have announced a few more (at GAMA I think). Its not the first time we've seen Umbra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inefficiency_Expert Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Just realized that the thing in his hands is the Mechanical Firefly. It's bigger than I would have expected. Also, it took me a bit to wrap my head around what all those parts were. Very excited for this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss models + nightmare sets should be coming soon! Any thoughts/hopes? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts/hopes? Guild and Neverborn, if I remember it right, have no Nightmare box yet so a Nightmare Lucius crew would excite both Faction.

Guild did have a nightmare box. It was even a reward for winning a global campaign. Poor Guild, they really got shafted this edition. 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Git Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Wasn't nightmare maybe... (I can't remember). But Guild did get the Dead Justice set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't Nightmare, just that single model. And Neverborn have also had that with Miss Ery. Both Factions could do with a proper Nightmare box!

Maybe some reporters that aren't led by the biggest Jerky McJerkface either sides of the breach??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Factions could do with a proper Nightmare box! That year there was 2 limited release boxes, Dead Justice, and the dreamer Crew (which I will grant was just a better Chompy in the end). (I think if you wanted to be picky,. the Gencon Specials that year were Dead Justice and Nightmare Dreamer, and the following year they carried on using the nightmare name for that special release). There was also Nightmare Teddy the following year (Which is not Miss Ery, that's a different teddy entirely). I think the "Nightmare" list was - Dead Justice (G/R), Nightmare Chompy (N), Nightmare Teddy (N), Hanging Trees(R), Nightmare Tara(O/R), Nightmare Whiskey Golem (B), dark carnival(A), Wild ones (G/TT), The crazy Cat lady (O), Unicorns and Pixie dust (B) and Brine and Brimstones (R). Its possibly time for something Arcanist, (although I've just remembered the Carnival so they have had one) I would be quite interested in a more train based rail crew for Mei feng (Although I largely wanted the rail golem to be a train, and hes not even a rail golem any more, but it is the 75th Birthday of Thomas the tank engine this year...), or A winnie the pooh Marcus Crew. Hoffman could be a good crew (Keep the guild crowd happy after they lost Wild ones) but I'm not quite sure what you would do with it. My guess is that they are enjoying the alternative named Master Box, and so the nightmare crew is going to follow that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muraki Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 I'd be happy with any master who has kept the same box with minimal changes since M2e. Guild / Neverborn would be nice, but I wouldn't say no to anything provided it looks cool... which I'm sure it will ha.

Since I always liked Miss Fire's aesthetic, it'd be fun to have a mei feng crew where they're bike messengers/couriers. Kinda a steampunk postal service vibe, ha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Given a (hopefully) high probability of Neverborn, the announcement last year around Halloween that the shamble men for the Halloween game would get M3E playable models, and that they would fit nicely with Carver's aesthetic, I'm going to bet/hope for a Pandora nightmare crew (she also hasn't gotten a new sculpt this edition, while Dreamer, the other master with one of Carver's keywords, has). For a Miss model, I'd therefore think something Guild...maybe the Steward? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazlord_Prime Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 So, how much unreleased Explorer's Society stuff has been teased now? I saw that other guy with the Syndicate keyword. Seems to reference TOS? But I'm liking the look of this guy (Gibson), and interested in the potential of the Umbra keyword. What else is out there?

Before gen con there was just cards for Gibson, Winston, a surveyor and most of a spell eater. I've now seen Vernon and wells, the effigy and emissary, several Apex models, and Ivan, who is the umbra master. But I've not seen all the gen con things, so am going on what's been added to the forum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spelleater looks like a PITA for an opponent (stealing suits during opposed duels? Urgh!), and it's a Witch Hunter - at least - so that'll go with the Sonnia crew I've never actually used, but keep meaning to 😉 Looks like the Explorer's Society might be the shiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
