Necrokamo Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 A new miniature for the Ten Thunders has been announced in this week's Waldo's Weekly and also a new Keyword: STORY. At the moment his skills look interesting, what do you think? Raijin Waldo's Weekly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinn Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Love the theme so far. Well-Versed looks like it's the keyword ability, which seems basically like a worse version of getting ato one flip a turn, which is pretty minor power wise, but maybe the leader has a way to amp the ability.

Math Mathonwy Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Him having Middle of the Storm and Maddening Drums kinda feels a bit like stealing the thunder (hah!) from some other models as those have been very defining abilities for The Captain and Gluttony. That said, I'm not sure that re-using abilities is all that bad since it is one way of lowering the complexity of the game a bit and naturally this guy is from a different Faction than Captain or Gluttony. About the model himself, he seems like a very good tech pick for many situations. Sound of Thunder seems potentially quite frustrating for the opponent. Luckily he is a bit squishy so the opponent likely can deal with him if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Sound of Thunder is the keyword ability and Wyrd have finally figured out how to make the Yasunori playable without errataing it again 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemiMurgos Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 I am actually excited about what the rest of the STORY will bring, the first model looks really promising. I haven't been playing for long but I main TT Lucas and I feel that this faction is the closest to my playstyle. Raijin would be pretty good for scheme themed games and his ranged-dmg reducing ability is something to calculate with (so far I either annoy everyone on the matches with Lucas & Co. showering bullets all the time, or my crew just dies because they out-range me and my team is made of wet cardboard XD). From a painter's perspective, I already have color schemes in mind for this guy. Can't wait until he drops in Europe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Wind Golem - I don't think I've ever even properly looked at what he does... 4 hours ago, Jinn said: Maybe Sound of Thunder is the keyword ability and Wyrd have finally figured out how to make the Yasunori playable without errataing it again 😆 Now that's a terrifying thought!

Da Git Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 I wonder if Arthur Van Stoker will make an appearance? The legends of the Four Dragons would make a super cool model... although potentially insane to put together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a little better when you can discard that Black Joker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also a lot worse because it doesn't do one of the best things thatflips do, cancel outflips to allow you to cheat. It can be used on damage flips though, but I'm not exactly sure how much that improves your odds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necrokamo Posted June 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 It look like STORY will be the Starter Box's keyword for Ten Thunders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that the models in the Neverborn starter box are Grim AND Versatile (and Mimic for one). This guy is just Story. It would probably be a bad idea to put models in the Ten Thunders starter box which would have to be taken OOK (thus costing 1ss more) in any of the existing keywords. So unless there is some kind of rule that Story can be hired OOK without costing more, I don't see them being in the starter box. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
