jdomin2 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Here are pics from frp: Big spider- http://www.frpgames.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=76656 raptor- http://www.frpgames.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=75682 miner- http://www.frpgames.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=76657 Key takeaways- 50mm on big spider (i know its been confirmed at gencon) and 30mm on raptors (hopefully they improved some stat on the card like night terrors, snow storm, etc) Looks like Kaeris might be pushed back a month? http://www.frpgames.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=76655 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I really like these new models. Hard to see the Raptors to really judge, but the paint jobs on the Miner and Spider are Saaa-weeet! Too bad about Kaeris, I guess they're still working out getting the Fire Gamin in there. I have plenty to keep me busy anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangustheix Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 shame about kaeris, but a large spider on 50mm base? yes please. three scrap counters is worth it just on its own. and from what i hear about avatar ramos, he is going to be loving them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoi Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I do like the look of these, pity I dont play any Arcanists (although maybe a Raptor or two might be handy with my Guild, not sure yet though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamwyrd Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Aww I'm gonna cry if kaeris is pushed back a month. That means Molly will too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Kaeris needs to be out in time (and to paint her and the Gamin up) for the UK GT!...come on October release!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Ok just saw the Spider!..I hate spiders, proper freak me out and that mechanical spider is too good! I cant play with that model :paralyzedpuppet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boardgameguy Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Can't wait to get the Spider and the Miner. I think the gunsmith comes out September as well which will be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CannonFodder Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Can't wait to get the Spider and the Miner. I think the gunsmith comes out September as well which will be good. The gunsmiths are in the Kaeris box, so that mean if the Kaeris box is late, so will the gunsmiths. They always come out a month later.

FearLord Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Can't wait to get the Spider and the Miner. I think the gunsmith comes out September as well which will be good. Presumably the Gunsmith(s) will come out one month after the Kaeris box set, which according to this site is now going to be October... So that means a November release for the Male and female Gunsmiths... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboStele Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Yeah, they had the Spider and Miner on display in the case at GenCon. They look sweet up close. Pity about Kaeris' box, but that's OK, as it's not like I don't have plenty of other stuff to paint instead, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I don't know that if Kaeris gets pushed back, that means Molly gets pushed back. Molly's box figures and painting seems to be done, granted there are marketing forces behind the scenes I'm not aware of, but I Kaeris gets pushed back they might just have a simultaneous release. They seemed to have slated October to be heavily Resser release heavy (gee I wonder why) and doubt that if there were issues with Kaeris that they would just scrap that.

edonil Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 My only sadness about Kaeris being pushed back to October is that is yet another box set for me to pick up and paint during November... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearLord Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 shame about kaeris, but a large spider on 50mm base? yes please. three scrap counters is worth it just on its own. and from what i hear about avatar ramos, he is going to be loving them Might make summoning with Ramos a more viable option - if Ramos can walk twice a turn and still summon an electrical creation and a Steampunk aracnid, his mobility issues will be a lot less noticeable - 5 ss for 9 ss worth of summoned models (over 3 turns) isn't half bad - but what is the best model to kill the Large aracnid with on turn 1?

LoboStele Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 but what is the best model to kill the Large aracnid with on turn 1? Just use Ramos' Combat Mechanic spell. It does "kill target Construct". :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRC Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Just use Ramos' Combat Mechanic spell. It does "kill target Construct". :thumb: Requires casting with a Ram. You're better of just detonating it. No test, always successful. Just keep the LSPA over 2" away from others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jty3 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 The spider looks great. Looks mechanical and organic at the same time. Bad news about Kaeris! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRC Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I actually think this is a really interesting question. Is it worth spending 5ss to save Ramos 6 AP? I think it's a good deal. I've heard many people say (usually in a Resurrectionist context) that AP are more valuable than SS. Opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard many people say (usually in a Resurrectionist context) that AP are more valuable than SS. Opinions? I think it will depend on your strategy and how you want to play Ramos. Most of the time I don't mind him just sitting on the back end of the table for 3 rounds anyways. But if I'm planning to go Avatar form, I think I would almost certainly do it this way. Start with the LSA, use Controlled Detonate to kill it, and summon a single Spider. Then Manifest on Turn 2 or 3, and immediately use the remaining 2 Scrap Counters to summon another LSA instead. You only end up losing 2 Wds in the process because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wodschow Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 For all we know the LSPA could have an ability saying it only drops two counters when it's killed.. Would be reasonable as 2½SS/Scrap Counter is already the cheapest ones available (other than the Brass Arachnid). If it doesn't then I'd certainly say that including one or two LSPAs from the beginning just to kill them off for the Scrap would be worth it. Especially if you're going for a turn 2-3 manifest (which I believe will be popular with Ramos). Hell.. I think it'd be worth to include one even if it was on a 40mm base or had an ability saying it only drops two counters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
