Ironmonger Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I wasn't sure where the best place was for this thread, as it's both my first on the forums and such a crew-specific inquiry, but has anyone gained any insight as to when we're going to see this model? It's one of the few Avatars not yet released, correct? I love C. Hoffman, his concept and playstyle, and I'd really like to use this mini and not proxy. Anyone? Oh, and mods, please feel free to move and/or chastise if this is not the appropriate location to post this in.:1_Happy_Puppet2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadilon Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I don't think anyone outside of Wyrd knows. It doesn't appear in the release list through August, as you've probably noticed. Would be nice if it were at Gencon, but wouldn't be surprised if it isn't. I've heard people who speculate about such things say that perhaps there was a production issue. Maybe they are holding back on it so they can produce it in plastic. But who knows? Guess we'll just have to be patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironmonger Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I as well was thinking production issues. At PP there was definitely an issue with one of their recent large miniatures, and it was unannounced and unpreveiwed for months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonkin Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 An alternate model or basis for it could be this: ISC from Eden miniatures. Around £10 ish D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironmonger Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) Three more months and still nothing, huh? EDIT: Huh. Just saw this was moved to Miniature Matters? This enquiry about a mini's release is related to painting and conversion... how again? I'm just trying to get some info if any exists about one of the last Avatars to not see the light of day...

omnivision6 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Ever time you ask the date gets pushed back another 3 months Its in one of the stickies. I forget which one. But seriously, we have no idea. One good source is thewarstore.com They put up pre order dates for all releases to all games. It shows when they get the stock in. Its a good guesstimation.

cybogoblin Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Maybe Avatar Hoffman was hanging out with the Squats when the 'Nids came through and ate them. But seriously, has anyone tried proxying him yet? If so, how well does he play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easternheretic Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Avatar Hoffman was tentatively slated for November as indicated in the link below, but the TBA (to be announced) is a pretty good indicator that it may be delayed. http://www.wyrd-games.net/content.php?203-Fall-Release-Schedule Cheers.

Yes, I'd seen that page more then a month ago now. That isn't a tentative list: definitive, I'd call it. It was always TBA, as well. I've posted the last of my thoughts and feelings about the subject in the General Discussion thread for Fall Releases, as have everyone else (which, BTW, is where this thread STARTED in, before it was moved here???). Everything else in the list has hit the shelves like clockwork. I'mma gonna go out on a limb and say that the release issues are the same as happened to some other minis in some other companies. I'd say we're looking at a small box, all plastic, and the delay comes from the first molds being screwed up in some way? Maybe obscuring detail/contributing to a smooth look? Sound about right? Anyways, thread's done. Just eagerly awaiting the mini at this point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
