Tadow2 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I see all the GenCon alternate sculpts and I have no clue what they are for? Are they the same character with the same stats and just a different sculpt or does it come with different stats? They look awesome, I just want to know if they do more than just look awesome for game play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Just awesome for game play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purgatorio Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Probably (amd I said probably due I still don't have access to the alt sculpt) are only miniatures with a new sculpt. This probably is donde because the old ones are "not good enough" or simply due a renovation in the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redben Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Like they name says, they're alternate sculptures of the master models. It gives Wyrd something else to sell, painters/modellers something else to paint/convert and gamers an option for which one they prefer to see on the gaming table.

96p Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 And they seem to better fit the Avatar Modells (Clothing, Face,...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vonvilkee Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 While they are permanent additions to the line, some won't be ablative outside of this gencon selling for over a year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yazza Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 yep, the new alternates are new models to fit better to the new masters, and better in fluff, and to update quality of the sculpts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 The only thing I find strange is that alternative sculpts like Seamus seem to show him after his Avatar transformation, even though he can't do it in game. But I'm still very grateful for these sculpts and hope it continues with other non-unique models. I imagine them doing sidekicks (Sybelle, Myranda, etc) then the major minions (Belles, Gremlins, etc) and possibly popular rare models (Flesh Construct, Mature Nephilim, etc). I say it bring it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nilus Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Yeah I have a feeling we will see more alt-sculpts in the future. I seem to recall at least one Ortega that Eric really really wants to see a resculpt of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Wall Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Any word or rumors of an Alternate McMourning? Id love a new sculpt for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alviaran Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I believe that all of the original masters are likely to get resculpts in time. Most if not all of them have new artwork and the alternates we have seen so far match the new artwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Love the new Ramos, might actually get me to buy one. Love his rules and playstyle absolutely hated the late for the metro pose of the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castlereagh Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 I have to admit, I prefer the old wavy auburn Sonnia. I don't like her as a straight haired ginger one bit. I wonder if there's anything I can do to her avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alviaran Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 The only thing I find strange is that alternative sculpts like Seamus seem to show him after his Avatar transformation, even though he can't do it in game. Actually, I believe it is a reference to a very certain movie poster. And if you don't know which one I'm talking about, Dr. Alv is prescribing you a night of Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 and capping it off with the incredibly awesome Army of Darkness. If you still can't figure out what I'm talking about, there is no help for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayBarlekamp Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Actually, I believe it is a reference to a very certain movie poster. Which happens to pay homage to a movie poster from a certain space opera. you know, the one with the laser swords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darios Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 actually i've been musing over the lasst release schemes and the quantity of m iniatures released per month and i came up with something quite interesting: - every month since October we've been getting 2 alternate MAster sculpts with the according Avatars. makes a 10 months release period as we have 20 masters in the game. - Book 3 gives us 30 new minios: according to the release plans they will come in alternating 2 and 3 Packs... so one Month is 2 of them, the next 3 and then the naex 2 again and so on... makes a time Period of 12 months. - The alternate sculpting of "old" minions... we'll they seem to come as a "boost" in the months when the "new" minios are consigned to 2... makes 6 alternate minios in the next 12 months... altogehter as long as the masters "last" this gives us a solid 7 minis per month.... what do you guys say...? just pushing numbers or might there be some truth in it... btw. 12 month would mean perhaps there is a 4th book in the making....

diehard Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I can't say how happy I am to see Wyrd releasing alternate sculpts. I like doing conversions and such, but but this is something I'd always hoped to see some other companies do in the past, but very rarely saw. It gives Wyrd more product to sell without glutting the game with an overabundance of minion types which too often leads to a lot of OP combos popping up. A couple new choices per book for Masters is just fine. And most players I know really dislike having two (or more) of the same model on the table, so are either converting models or looking elsewhere for suitable models' So I see alternate sculpts as a win/win situation for everybody.
