I gotta say this is more than I expected with this, the Nøkken looks like the Kamau and locust had a baby and I’m very ok with it, that monk makes me want to play YJ and I’m not a huge fan of helmetless figures normally. Also that ninja will either be a cool merc or a great updated Ninja sniper for my JSA (even though I NEVER play them or that unit)...all in all even though there’s some recycled poses these minis look fantastic and think they will be fun to paint!
ITS Event packs often have faction specific miniatures like Victor Messer, alt. Guijia, alt. O-Yoroi.
Really wish we could get some quality pics of the PanO side! Love all the pics Warsenal has put out for the YuJing side.
In the past they have a had a convention exclusive mini available at Adepticon, (if I remember correctly last year I believe it was the Limited Saito Togan), but as Colbrook mentioned this could be from the ITS Event Pack. The Monk has some weird robot likeness to his head, (similar to Zoe), so I wonder if he is a recreation, or a higher end Lhost, or if it is just a design choice.
*goes and looks at official blurb* Yes you're quite right. Maybe the N4 preorder mini? Actually we're due a narrative ITS pack sooner than that, could perhaps be a "Victor Messer" situation
I do get where you’re coming from with this. I will say though I’ve worked on enough frozen equipment designed to function below zero that ended up needing to just be torched a bit to unfreeze it that the insulated jacket covered powered armor doesn’t bug me too much haha
All I want is close ups of the PanO stuff.... oh and some dossiers Instead we get these Bigfoot-esque photos
The same as last year and the year before that. This kind of thing happens all of the time before Adepticon and Gen Con. I'm gushing happy with the Monk. I'm getting him no matter what! @Stuffist That's a Tiger Hook sword. It's usually used in pairs. It's also one of 18 traditional weapons of Shaolin. Along with spear, 3 section sfaff, staff, broadsword, and more.
On second glance, Adil looks pretty cool. A headswap could freshen him up a bit (thinking of a CG head), but I really like the armor and collar.
I wonder how it will work with con exclusives if there is no con...like I know there will be web sales but I’m curious how it will impact overall sales for that month for CB
