Higgybeans Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Do we think Melissa Kore will be available separately when the new Hoffman box is released? It's the only model I need from that box to complete my collection of guildies. Higgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belorey Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Yes for limited time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theamazingmrg Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 You'll be able to get it via the Special Order programme for a year after release. Otherwise she'll only be available vis teh Hoffman box. I'm still getting her via the box as I've already got the two previous Hoffmans so I feel obligated to get the new sculpt too!

Higgybeans Posted October 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Haha fair. I'm currently trying to avoid duplicates though. I don't have enough shelf space! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
explorator Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Why did they include 3 Hunters? That kills the box for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannydb Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Because all you can get 3 in a crew and someone might want all 3 and not want to buy multiple boxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antipodean Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Plan to use a Miss Guided as KORE so I don't have all the duplicates. Once mounted on a 40mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antipodean Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Yes but shipping to the bottom of the world is prohibitively expensive. When I already have a badass with a machine gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those three Hunters were coming together in a box bundled with something else you would want for a crew anyway. Whether they came with Hoffman or a Peacekeeper, it doesn't really matter. It's a ridiculous complaint really, especially when Hunters are better than a lot of people give them credit for (they are expensive though!)

I have a metal hunter, which I RARELY use, so buying THREE more is just throwing money away. I don't hate Wyrd because they choose odd combos in some boxes, but it certainly influences what I buy.

And sorry, but my answer to that is *Boo-hoo-hoo!* How many death marshals do you see on the table? Ruffians? Witchling Stalkers? Belles? Monks? And the list goes on... Dry your eyes, you’re not alone. Quite a few of the crew-box minions get rejected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Witchling Stalkers ALL THE TIME....same with BELLES. I don't play 10T. AGAIN! I never said I hate Wyrd over this, just that is seems like an odd choice.

Because Wardens got used to bulk out the Executioner box for the Guard Keyword. And they're Minion (2) so they were probably never going in a Core Box anyway.

Yore Huckleberry Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 I like hunters just fine, particularly if Catch and Release is in the pool and I want fewer hench'es but decent tanky firepower. And a Hunter with Fast from Hoffman can charge something a full 20" away in round one and use one or more tokens for crit strike on a stat 6 attack. Plus if I buy the new core box, I can complete my set of Voltron-themed Hunters after painting the 2e box versions yellow and blue for the legs ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
