DangerousBeans Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 I just noticed on Pandora's card there's no option to change to "avatar" form, as I assumed she might. Will the Avatar Form have a place in the game or is it just there to be pretty? Or is could it be some form of "epic" Pandora? Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere. Quote
WEiRD sKeTCH Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 That's coming soon. Not in this release but in a future release. And it's awesome. Quote
EricJ Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 There are a number of things we've already designed, but decided to hold of on until future expansions. We figured people would need a little time to get used to the card mechanics of Malifaux before we dropped Henchmen, Avatars, custom card decks, etc... We've kept all that stuff and they will show up in future books along with new masters, new models, and other new little game additions. (we wanted to be sure to have a bunch of content to add to a skirmish level game, instead of future books basically scaling game size up) Quote
AoM Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 That's right, folks. The next expansion will feature Eric and Nathan as models, and Avatar Pandora. Err... wait. something's not quite right there. Of course, Eric probably would end up as a Neverborn. Quote
TheBugKing Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Thankfully the system is robust enough to support quite a few expansions (As in new mechanics and twists. Not growing the game in size) well beyond the stuff we already have worked out. I think you will see for yourself the many areas that are just beginning to be explored with the initial release. Of all the games I've played this one feels like it has the most potential to grow. We have also built in very well defined limits on how big a game can get so it will remain a skirmish game and not grow into a full blown army game. (That being said, there is nothing stopping you from playing an army like game or two. You just have to step outside the rules a bit) One of the things the playtesters were very adamant about was that the game stay a skirmish game unlike a bunch of the other ones on the market. We listened. Quote
TheBugKing Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Of course, Eric probably would end up as a Neverborn. What are you talking about? Eric IS a Neverborn. Or didn't you know that? Quote
DangerousBeans Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Posted July 24, 2009 Cool, I had an inkling as such. I only ask because I wants her, but then again I'll probably just get her when I get Pandora anyway, 'cos she's pure cool an' that. Judging by what little I know of the game and after looking at Pandora's card I'm imagining her to be a bit of a lone wolf, with her crew basically being extensions of her own powers. She bogs down the opponents by messing with their minds before picking them off one by one. Or maybe those creepy kids of hers go up and slit the enemy's throats while they're cowering in a corner. I really like the whole persycological warfare thing she's got going. I'm driving myself crazy thinking about this game by the way, expect my medical bill if i get too far gone! So when 's the expansion due out then? Quote
TheBugKing Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Some time later. We are all trying to recover from getting the base rules out. (I for one am on a forced vacation for 1 month by my wife. ) Quote

You might have something there, sir. And I knew Eric Johns is a Neverborn. I was just hinting that his miniature form would probably be there as well. Nathan's probably got some amazing powers, but it would cost you a fair few stones to hire him. Quote
Caligula Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 At my LGS we are dicussing avatars, trying to figure if it's a Pandora only bump or if at least one from every faction will have an avatar form. I know it's early, but are seperate faction books a possibility? Collect everything from past book(s) and put them into one volume. Or are expansions going to have a little for everyone in them? I'm a huge Warmachine/Hordes player, I absolutely love the game, but I dislike how they do expansions. They bring a very big book out with only a few entries for each army. I would prefer if they "saved them up" for one, good sized expansion. Now they are going to go with army books after the rulebook, and I can't decide if I like that or not. That's what GW does, and it works for them but dunno about WM/H. What I'm getting at is I hope the expansions are real EXPANSIONS. Not just one extra rule and a couple of models and errata, but a slew of new stuff. I hope the new book(s) has plenty of new models for each faction, and there are new scenarios, new rules to certain things (like a new type of terrain for example) and not half the book dedicated to FAQs and errata. Just my thoughts, doesn't matter because I am buying and will continue to buy anything Wyrd comes out with, just mentioning what bothers me with other games. I'm sure you guys have a great plan, and I dig how you guys are keeping a lid on it. Showing us the Pandora avatar and not saying anything about it gets ups curious and inquisitive, where we can't wait to see what she's about. Thank you for making a truly amazing game! People are in a frenzy about it at my LGS, the owner can't keep anything on the shelves, people are buying up everything as quickly as possible. It's awesome to see us get so excited about a game, has been forever since we've been this excited about something. Thank you very much for a great game, I love it! Quote
Isoulle Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Some time later. We are all trying to recover from getting the base rules out. (I for one am on a forced vacation for 1 month by my wife. ) Vacation! Get back to work slave. Go back to the stat mines! Quote
Angus Khan Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Is there a Resurrectionist afoot?... there seems to be some thread-necromancy going on around here... :dead: I might have to call the Death Marshals. Quote

Werecat Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Well, I'm actually happy with this one. Alot of info here that I hadn't heard before. Quote
Flikfutch87 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I just picked up the Avatar Pandora model and it didn't come with a card. That's to be expected, then? Quote
karn987 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I just picked up the Avatar Pandora model and it didn't come with a card. That's to be expected, then? She actually doesn't exist in the game yet. Only regular Pandora exists right now. Avatar Pandora is just a cool model at the moment though Avatar versions of some Masters are still planned last time I heard about it. Quote
Sliver Chocobo Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 I like the idea that the masters transform into the avatar, when certin conditons are met, rather than doing somthing like the epic warcasters in warmachine Quote
Vladka Posted August 7, 2010 Report Posted August 7, 2010 She actually doesn't exist in the game yet. Only regular Pandora exists right now. Avatar Pandora is just a cool model at the moment though Avatar versions of some Masters are still planned last time I heard about it. So is she a legal model to play with right now(using the avatar Form instead of regular model). I'm asking this becuse of the diffrent base sizes. And is the avatar gonna get her own card eventally and how do we get that card when(crossing fingers) it comes out? Quote

She is not legal yet since she doesn't have her own card, yet and the rules for Avatar have not yet been shown Quote
karn987 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Posted August 8, 2010 They will be coming eventually though. Maybe the next book or the book after that, but they will be coming from what I last heard. =D Plus she is a gorgeous model. Quote
darthnoir Posted September 27, 2010 Report Posted September 27, 2010 For those of us who purchased the Pandora Avatar before she had her card, will there be a way of acquiring her card when the rules become available? Quote
Wodschow Posted September 27, 2010 Report Posted September 27, 2010 You can buy cards individually already. I see no reason why they would stop this in the future when the Avatars are released. So I certainly assume so. Quote
nilus Posted September 27, 2010 Report Posted September 27, 2010 For those of us who purchased the Pandora Avatar before she had her card, will there be a way of acquiring her card when the rules become available? I am sure there will be. A lot of Wyrd models were released before Malifaux came out and they put ways in place to get those cards. So when the Avatar rules finally popup(I wouldn't expect them in the next book, but maybe the one after that), I am sure all those people with Avatar Pandora will get a card somehow. Quote
AvatarForm Posted September 29, 2010 Report Posted September 29, 2010 What are you talking about? Eric IS a Neverborn. Or didn't you know that? What relation to Eric is Big Z? Wife? Mother? Quote
