It would appear that @fari has dark, secret knowledge. I should like to know whose soul was sacrificed to obtain this… I should also like a link to this information! Would like to know what's coming up next.
Raveneye. It sounds a bit Norse mythology to me. So I'm guessing something from PanO perspective? Slave Trophy I'm guessing will have a Morat character and ????. It could be new or new versions of Anyat and Bipandra. I think re-sclupts instead of new characters and a continuation of the Dire Foes story would be cool. I'm going to Adepticon this year. I hope. I'll save to make sure I get exclusive figure.
So will that Tyrok be only available at the event? Umm is anybody going who doesn't want their allotted one please? :)
"Slave Trophy" makes me think of Morats or an NA2 army doing shady business. Maybe Anyat resculpt or Kendrat leading some Krakots Renegades to abduct people. As far as who hunts slavers in the lore, it would probably be Hassassins, RTF, or O-12 on the other side. Leila Shariff and Yasbir went OOP recently so they are on the table, but also Haqq is waiting on Yara to get a sculpt. My pipe dream would he a Hortlak Jannisary character.
That sounds plausible. If it is PanO I hope the model looks nice. I hope we get the pictures of these minis soon.
I bet Kendrat will be in the direfoes. Maybe vs another Defiance carácter. Jaan? Uma? Sforza? And, every book came with at least a new NA2, and if we consider that many of them are a mix of operation boxes, 2 are missing. O-12+CA and Ariadna+Aleph. Or can release Valeria and Kendrat Merc company from Defiance
Event exclusive miniatures can be ordered by distributors/FLGS and direct from CB during the preorder period for the Action Pack.
I am late to the party on this one. But seeing a single release bluecoat, and having Carlos talk about need to discontinue SKU's to make room baffles me. Stop releasing single models for units we need more than one of. like wtf??! This feels even more compounded by also announcing pure fireteams will get different [and likely more significant] bonuses. So I guess a big fuck you to every faction that gets linkable units handed out in singles. Vargars look pretty cool. I don't care for the winter coat parts, but the rest looks fantastic. in one of the rare few circumstances, they actually only needed three models to give you units to cover all the weapon options. I still hate that they are getting saddled with a bot instead of another vargar. I'd really like to see CB stop doing that. Fuzzbots look great <3 much love there, and the new probots too I'm very curious what the fireteam bonuses will actually be. I hope they will help improve things... we'll see
I agree with your sentiments. Give us 4 models boxes with a tinbot to boot. Stop single blistering units and save sku's by releasing boxes.
at least its the profile you want three of instead of just getting one in a box then models for other less used profiles
The new Dire foes will very likely include Anyat, and possibly Bipandra. Their dire foes pack has been discontinued, and Carlos has said they need to resculpt some of the older Dire Foes characters. Raveneye also coincides with a miniature released with the same name. I would have expected something like that for the novel, but as far as I know that is called Downfall.
So if a resculpt is done for Anyat and Bipandra who will they include for the third model... Also, would the morats and dire foes be a grouped preorder thing with the tyrol, maybe another Ltd ed model or all separate and available to buy?
Well, it would be a precedent, then. Because up to date, all the "third models" in Dire Foes boxes were essentially civvies / HVTs. Even if they were named in the fluff, like Angus the Fusilier.
The name of the Dire Foes, Slave Trophy, makes me think the HVT will be a prisoner or captive. It could be Angus the unlucky again, or a completely unrelated PoW model.
