The first part… In which I indirectly show interest.
Inside the boxed sets, there are coupons instructing the lucky purchaser to send a code to an email address. In turn they will receive the prototype cards for their faction. When I get to sending that mail, I'll let you know what I get in return.
The second part… Where I rave about how cool these minis are.
Rasputina and her Ice Golem/Ice Gremlins
Lillith and her Nephilim and Chibi Nephilim
and whotzisface from the 'Steamfitters Union' with his cyber-arachno-centaur, and tiny clockwork spiderlings.
The folks at the booth were extremely cool, and their miniatures have a ton of style. I wasn't certain I "needed" a new game, but the outstanding character in each of the pieces demanded the immediate surrender of my wallet. I was told that the boxed sets were hot off the assembly line (a mere day before the con), and that the game proper would be out shortly.
The Third Part, where I get a little cheese with my whine.
Sadly the ton of style does not include the absolutely smashing bases for the arachno-steambot figures as pictured on the box. The box clearly states "blank bases", but I was thinking "Of course there's a piece in that box, it's part of the mini"… No such luck… Anyone got a spare wind up clock that needs further discombobulation? I do believe that the base decoration is available as a separate purchase from Wyrd, but right now, I'm going to look around for wind up toys with terminal ailments and repurpose them.
