Rathnard Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Hmm, interesting... I keep hearing about these "translucent bases". Anyone know the what or why of these? It's a curious release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's to show a "flying/floating" model? I dunno... until I see it, I can't decide why a translucent base would be appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearLord Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 If I were a betting man, I'd guess at objective markers in various faction colours... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setoth Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I'm wondering what translucent bases do as well. Though if everything else they've teased us with on the road to GenCon is any indication, it will likely have magical money-disappearing powers too.

Nathan Caroland Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 A quick shot ... and basically are exactly what we call them, translucent bases. Colors off due to the camera and the location, but it'll give you an idea. Gotta say on a personal note, look pretty neat when you've got a fully painted piece with a base insert in there.

Nathan Caroland Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Heh, eventually. And that's just all three of them ringed together on top of each other (30mm, 40mm and 50mm), not some odd double base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 They are certainly an interesting idea - would be good for objectives/special terrain and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamPants Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Hello, I'm still a newbie when it comes to Malifaux. All I know, from listening to old podcast episodes is that last year you could order new Malifaux models online at the same time they became available to Gencon attendees. However, if you didn't order during this time, you then had to wait for them to be released later in the year at their "regular" in store release date. Is that how it went? If so, is that happening again this year? How do I take advantage of this opportunity if it comes up again? I would very much like to get a hold of those Ten Thunders minis (plus whatever else that looks cool). Is the link at the top of the thread an actual pre-order? Will those things be shipped at the time they go on sale at Gencon? If I'm not able to get them, then how long do I have to wait before I see them in stores? Thanks for your help.

That is indeed the way it happened last year. My sense is that is the way it will be this year, but there has been no announcement yet. Last year when they announced the full list of releases they also released when they would be available later in the year. They won't be shipped at the same time, most likely. Wyrd is a small shop and a good portion of the employees will be at Gencon and hence can't ship things out until they get back. Last year I believe they worked really hard and got all Gencon shipments out in weeks. I don't recall how long it took, exactly, but it was weeks before the last order was shipped.

Twisted Metal Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hmm I might leave my Levi crew on its normal black bases. If I were to mount the Minis according to faction I would end up using all five colors and my minis would like they were marching in a certain type of parade when on the table top...

Forar Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 ... that is an awesome idea! A Pride Parade themed crew! I may now have a reason to get Soulstone Miners and to revisit my Kaeris crew! At least it'd be blue, purple and yellow. Cut off shorts *everywhere*! That said, all of my figures are already afixed to their bases, so I doubt I'll try to colour coordinate that way, but I could see myself snagging a set of 30mm bases for token markers.

JoeB Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 The blue ones might be perfect for when I start Rasputina and all the winter models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyPerez Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Had these come out when I first started to play malifaux I might consider using them, but all my stuff is already based and I could only see these being usefull if you use the base inserts. But if I ever feel the urge to start a new faction I may give them a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forar Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Anyone else find it weir... strange that the August releases are still in The War Store's "pre-order" section? It catches my eye every time I visit the page. "Damnit, we are past August! Either that stuff is out or that date needs to be revised!" ... maybe that's just me.

MetaphoricDragn Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Seeing those blue bases makes me regret gluing my Ice Gamins down last night. Now I'm wondering if i can pop the bases off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
