Von Shill Plastics

Looking through the latest Wyrd Chronicles, I didn't see any mention of Von Shill's crew in the upcoming section. Does anyone have an idea when those plastics might release? He's by far the Outcast Master that holds the most appeal to me, but there's only been one Outcast box released thus far, making it hard for me to even start to throw in with them.

If you look at the concept art for the Friekorps crew, which includes 2x Friekorpsman, Trapper, Librarian and Specialist, only Von Schill is in an alternative pose from the metal minis.

Not sure whether this means anything, but it does suggest that they haven't got any other concept art for new plastics.

Honestly, if that is going to be the crew, I kind of wish they'd just produce the steam trunk as a solo. I know all the reasons they won't, but almost anyone who plays Von Schill will already have everything else, and rather than wait 6 months for the new box set, would like the ST ASAP.

 

Oh well. While wishing for unlikely things, I wish I had enough money to just go up to Wyrd and say "give me one of everything."

The trapper doesn't appear to have his cloak like the metal mini but other than Von Schill and the Steam Trunk nothing new. Also disappointing to see no Hannah in there. 

 

They regularly image swap the art to make the cover of the box sets more dynamic, which results in a backwards looking sculpt.  McMourning's box has both the Flesh Construct and Canine Remains flipped, and Hired Swords flips Vik of Blood and 2 of the Ronin.

Except for The Shill himself, everything seems to be exactly the same as the old metal minis. Too bad. Found them to be a bit static.

I actually quite like the current static Von Schill pose, looks like he's considering how best to disembowel you, same for the Specialist, he's picked his spot and is now spraying fire everywhere. I do agree on the Korpsmen though, still not particularly fussed on them.

Yeah, I really hope either A: Hannah is in the box or B: I can get the Steam trunk seperate. I know it won't happen, but it won't be fun buying a second of literally every other model in there. Still, the art looks pretty nice. I love the trapper pose, and I don't mind any of the other either. I'm not sure whether I prefer this Von Schill pose or his original, but it's not really a big deal since I might have to buy both anyway...

It wouldn't be the first time a totem were huge or a model didn't fully fit on its base. The gas masks in it actually look about in scale with the models.

 

And yes, a little disappointed in the set being so similar in pose and composition to the original, especially since Hannah is in the first book and the librarian and tracker aren't.

So OT, but Hateful Darkblack, where the blazes did you get that? :P

 

If you mean the Luggage model Micro Art Studios has a range of very nice Discworld models. I also have the Luggage for the Steam Trunk and a Nanny Ogg for Zoraida... or Brewmaster.

Yes, that's the one! It was in my Friendly Local Gaming Store! I painted it up in the same colors as the rest of my Von Schill crew (black with green wash and trim) and it looks like it fits right in.

@MaliDave, I am desperately hoping that the preview artwork is not the actual artwork used to the new plastics.  The poses are the exact same as the metals and it would both be extremely disappointing and a shift away from why Wyrd has been doing with their new plastics.

 

My hope is that Wyrd was just releasing a crew photo for them, not preview artwork.
