Wyrd Miniatures is off to GenCon Indy! We're loaded up with boxes out the whaazoo, have the truck loaded to the gills and the trailer attached to the back squealing under the pressure of all the metal goodness we're toting off with us.

Stop by and see us in our double booth at #1332 where we'll have all of our studio paint jobs on display as well as the metal addiction we've all come to love. We'll have the full lineup of Wyrd minis released to date as well as an additional six (6) miniatures which we are pre-releasing at GenCon.

As always, we're going to be running a few specials and give aways during the convention. For every $25USD you spend at the booth, you get a raffle ticket with which you'll have a chance to win one of our studio painted miniatures which will be on display at the convention (purchases are cumulative, $50 gets two tickets, $75 three tickets .. etc). On Sunday we'll be making the drawing for the winner and you can walk home with your prize, or, if you aren't available, we'll send it directly to you at our cost.

Bought one of our shirts? Great! For showing your enthusiasm and support of Wyrd Miniatures at the convention we'll be giving away a free miniature when you stop by our booth proudly displaying your Wyrd'ness.

Joining the GenCon Painting Contest? Fantastic! If you've painted up a Wyrd miniature, we will be doing the judging for a manufacturers award which we'll be giving away a $100USD coupon which is good at the booth where you can come and snag up the latest releases for nothing. Also, for taking the time to paint a Wyrd miniature, come on by the booth with your painted miniature and contest entry card and we'll give you a free miniature for showing your Wyrd colors!

Wyrd is once again sponsoring the Paint and Take as well as the Speed Painting event this year which will be ran by the volunteers at GenCon T-F-S at 3pm. We understand that all of the Speed Painting slots have been filled but that the event coordinators always factor in a couple of extra slots so stop by and enjoy, naturally there will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the Speed Painting Contests.

Lastly, Eric will be in the booth this year with a fantastic demo table that we've had put together for us to showcase an early showing of our skirmish game Malifaux. The game isn't complete yet, and no we won't be selling any advance copies, this is just our way of giving an early preview of the rules, mechanics and product.

Looking forward to meeting everyone, stop by the booth and say hi! Oh ... and buy minis.

I wish I had the chance to go to Gencon to check out the Wyrd booth, but alas it isn't in the cards for me this year. Good luck with the products and Malifaux previews!

Bring back lots of great info about the game :)

Damn I wish I could've made it! Have fun you guys!!

In the words of Miracle Max:

"Bye, bye, boys! Have fun stormin' the castle!"

(or I guess, in this case, the convention center. Doesn't quite have the same ring to it...)

:D <-- green with jealousy

I picked up a box set at the booth today and it was missing an item when I opened it at home. Who do I talk to about getting this fixed?

Send a PM to Nathan (Frustrated Father). He's good at getting things sorted out.

Just if you do it right now he may be a bit slow to respond as he probably needs time to decompress from GenCon.

Sure, understandable. I appreciate it. New to the site and all. :)

Outstanding table! It was great to re-connect and meet you again Nathan. I'm 'all in'.

The demo was excellent and the mini line gets better and better.

It was very nice to visit the Wyrd booth. and meet the Wyrd crew. The demo table looked awesome and from what I could see it looked like the game will be fun.

It was also great to see some of the minis in real life and drool over the amazing paint jobs.

I picked up a bunch of minis as well.

always good to hear the booth/demo's caught some attention. A ton of work went into this years Gencon, and a good bit of it in the last few days so from our side it was tough to objectively judge just how things were going, since we were so tired!

It's nice though, now we can get back to focusing on making minis and finishing up the game for you all! :D

I picked up a bunch of boxes myself. Good stuff. Looking forward to more. I didn't even get a demo, I was sold on the minis and theme.
