the tick Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 A picture of the ES Starter Box on Noble Knight's webpage (https://www.nobleknight.com/P/2147859034/Explorers-Society-Starter-Box) says the models are pre-assembled? Maybe I missed it in the smattering of news that come out on the starter boxes, but that's news to me. Has anybody heard whether the contents of these boxes will be offered in just regular plastic not pre-assembled kits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also for people like me who suck at assembling xD I know that is a disappointment for a lot of people, though. This is the first I've heard of it, but I'd be really surprised if they did it both ways. Thatd be so expensive for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you're most likely right, and the cost wouldn't let them do both options. I'm more than a little disappointed about the pre-assembled nature personally, it will absolutely be a non-starter for me buying the box. You're certainly not the only one who dislikes the assembly though and I get that stance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniacal_cackle Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 It also seems super weird for Hopeful Prospects to be included in a keyword-free crew so they can't transform. I guess they really wanted it to be 29 stones and there are sprue logistics. But what a weird mix of models. Botanists would have been cool, but what do I know. I wasn't involved with testing them xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohhhh, right, so it is only 25 stones. Yeah, that makes it tricky to balance the boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so we got Jedza, Sophie, Mikhail and the lamplighters. I would guess the rest of the seeker boxes would be : 1 box with grave goo, austera & twigge, and the moorwraiths 1 box with the damned (hopefully, since he's savage too it would be nice to have him alone) Since the surveyors are in Anya's box and Tannenbaum is in the starter box, that would be all seeker models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomelessOne Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Wyrd's newsletter went out about half an hour ago and they've experienced further release delays.

The longer they take to release the sand worm, the longer until my next order, and the more time I have to paint up what I already have of ES xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomelessOne Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Haha, I felt a bit similar. "Oh, now I have the hobby funds to pick up Anya when she releases instead of putting the box off". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maogrim Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 And if you live in Europe and your retailer ordered his stocks from the UK, like many did, you can maybe add another month due to unclear border regulations. Still haven't received the Apex boxes I ordered just after Christmas. Brexit was such a good and thought-out idea... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the tick Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 https://www.nobleknight.com/P/2147859031/Outcast-Starter-Box And apparently Syndicate is getting something with an Outcast starter box. And again with the pre-assembled. Even if I'm the only guy beating the drum on this, I'll keep saying the pre-assembled stuff is a massive turn off Wyrd. Please make these things available in the normal Malifaux plastic. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of a shame but guess it makes sense for a starter. Is easier to say you can open + play it (as aren't they also supposed to come with decks?) That said the pandora set was pretty nice. So I'll stay optimistic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maogrim Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 I'm kinda fine with the pre-assembled as some of the more delicate sculpts take a lot of tools and skill to put together in a way that everything looks precisely right and with no gaps showing. On the other hand I guess there are those who enjoy the assembling almost as much as painting or playing, so of course it's bad news for them.

I'm one of the people, my favorite set to put together so far was the wild ones. Playing the game is best, then building, then painting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
