Hateful Darkblack Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I got it in the mail yesterday and was super excited. Last night I put it all together. Here are my thoughts so far: 1. It feels like a lot of the gotchyas have gone away -- no necks that look like they might be sprue. All the pieces have their parts close together, and labelled on the sprue, which is perfect. Big improvement over last year's batch of unlabeled or number-and-letter labelled parts! 2. The instructions are super-handy! I'm glad they're doing this. 3. The closest thing I have to a complaint: I don't like Tara's mutant left arm. The style doesn't seem right. It reminds me of times when I was drawing as a teenager and would add a monster arm because I wasn't good at drawing real arms yet. The rest looks amazing, but that monster arm doesn't look as good as the rest of the monster parts in the set. 4. Karina looks amazing! I love her wary yet sassy pose, and the boots coming out the bottom of the skirt are perfect. 5. The Nothing Beast is awesome. And totally ftaghn. 6. My favorites, though, are the Void Wretches. They're ADORABLE! Who's a misbegotten little three-legged Qlippothic entity? Who's a good little misbegotten Qlippothic entity? YOU ARE, VOID WRETCH. Such a good little blasphemy against reality. Yes you are! 7. I based everything on the Graveyard metal insert bases, which worked well. The Void Wretches look especially awesome crawling up and around the tombstones and whatnot. I love the way their feet twist in every which direction -- somehow though I found a surface for each of them to crawl on. Void Wretches definitely look better when they're scuttling across something. 8. The Nightmare Nothing Beast didn't need a metal insert base, and in fact couldn't possibly use a metal insert base. The Nothing Beast is pretty much its own base insert. 9. I still like the heft of metal pieces. So I used metal inserts for most of them. Then I filled the Nothing Beast's hollow center with pennies. What lurks within the heart of the Nothing Beast, you ask? Copper and Abraham Lincoln. The weight feels perfect on it that way. 10. Really glad I purchased them. I'm very much looking forward to playing them! (And thanks to last year's Gen Con reward, I already have some Miss Terious Death Marshalls to use with them!) Thanks, Wyrd! Super big kudos! (And especially for such fast delivery!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pride365 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I am trying to get my hands on this box set now and this makes me really excited about maybe getting one. (would have gotten one but didn't know she was a Rezzer until it was 2 late.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hateful Darkblack Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Good luck, Pride365! They sometimes have contests and offers and things later on. It really is a good set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zomnambulist Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Ooh, I never would have thought to fill the models with metal! I like the satisfying weight of pewter minis too. Your idea: I am stealing it. Just in case that wasn't clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the satisfying weight of pewter minis too. Your idea: I am stealing it. Just in case that wasn't clear. Please do. It was actually my friend Chris's suggestion. At first I thought it was throwing money away, and then I realized that it was a lot cheaper than other options for models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Please do. It was actually my friend Chris's suggestion. At first I thought it was throwing money away, and then I realized that it was a lot cheaper than other options for models. I orginally used fishing weights to weigh bases down. Then I realised it was cheaper and a lot easier just to use pennies. Turns out it works better too. Also tried using plaster, but messy and didn't weigh enough.

decker_cky Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I am hunting in the dark Jungles of evilbay right now....... Best shot would actually be to wait for Black Friday. Wyrd generally offers some of their limited editions for a few days at that point too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 2. The instructions are super-handy! I'm glad they're doing this. What!?! I didn't get instructions! Who do I contact to get one sent to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjorkgnu Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 No instructions came in mine, either, but the only thing that was trouble at all were the Nothing Beast's arms, and looking at the 3D render on the box helped substantially with that.

Tuttleboy Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Do you think you would ever run more than one Death Marshal with Tara? I like running her with a pair of Death Marshall's and a pair of Void Wretches. I feel the Pine Box gives me some more Burying options and I feel more options are always good.

I have a Miss T coming but I would like to have my Death Marshals match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
