The Guild Figure I'm most intrigued by.

I don't think anyone ever said that 'all' would be revealed. Last year, NO stats were revealed until Thursday of GenCon. 2 years ago, some basic info about Colette (and maybe Kirai and Ophelia, I can't remember) were revealed a week or so ahead of time.

Wyrd doesn't owe anybody anything. The fact that they have been doing as much in previews is more than they have to do anyways. Experience says that people buy the stuff either way. Experience also says that as soon as people get their hands on the book on Thursday next week, there will be enough info floating about for people to make informed decisions about what models to buy. So you have to wait to get info and buy stuff in the online store on Friday instead of Thursday. Learn some patience. Will get you a lot farther in life.

Wyrd is a business. It is not about doing us favors, they are doing themselves a favor by advertising their product. They would be doing their job. If it is good, word spreads and mouths water. They are not going to sell as much in this economy by being secretive and waiting until the last minute to release information. If they are content selling to just their friends, then good for them, but it is still bad business. I also highly doubt you take this stance in all aspects of your consumer life.........

If all were right in this world, the size of the hat would be proportional to their power and awesomeness.

Inversely proportional would be more fun.

His sword does look a bit like an umbrella.

It is an umbrella. And that thing you guys take for a gun of murderous design is actually a steampunk lollipop dispenser. This is Governor's personal servant and he doesn't do much except for dispensing lollipops for people Governor wish to reward for a job well done. That, and running away in panic, when somebody pops a balloon. Malifaux is not healthy for the poor chap's nerves.

I think by now Guild players should just deal with general floppiness of the characters and a complete lack of coolness in their faction.

Buying minis is a bit different than buying bread and eggs, though. They'll get the information out when they get it out. They're not a huge company, and this is a hectic time for them. I'm impressed with how much they've gotten together so far.

EDIT: I really hope this guy works well with Criid, because I really don't need to start with another crew. As a TF2 player, I must respect the hat.

i imagine they have their reasons, by and far i am not a fan boy (i play TOO many other games to become a fan boy of just one), but i do honestly believe they are rushing to get the job done for gen con.

not sure if that is why the minis are now coming with 3d art over painted minis on the cards, i for one prefer it over the newer painted models something just always seemed off with those.

Gen con is less than a week away as they would have to pack and fill out forms and such to move everything, it is a lot of planning that goes into the con. So yes they may not have that much time to spoil everything as they are running around trying to meet a dead line.

I also feel your pain i get frustrated looking under announcements for anything and keep seeing the same two topics. But its less than a week and i should distract myself with some painting. So best of luck everyone.

Of course, it hits a little harder to those anxiously waiting for Guild specific (or at least, Guild/Ten Thunder hybrid) releases. 3 factions have gotten the info, and despite it being little more than pics and a price list for most of them, that's still more to go on than the Ressers, Outcasts and Guild have.

It's the same issue people had with the delay in Warden info/pics leading up to the July releases. On one hand, yes, Wyrd is a small company doing everything they can to meet the demands of the internet, a userbase known to be chalk full of people who have unreasonable demands. >.>

On the other hand... they've known this was coming for 12 months. It should shock nobody (least of all, those at the company who were involved with the events of last Gencon) that the weeks leading up to it might be raw shenanigans.

Now, granted, word has it on the forums that Twitter has noted they have half of what they want on hand. Previous statements were to the effect that they'd expected to have ~70-80% of the Book 4 figures available, so if we do a little quick math... carry the two... they might have roughly 40% of book 4 on hand, and obviously it's better to remain silent than to promise to deliver something and then have to rescind that promise (hell, they've already been quite transparent about one of the box sets not necessarily being available at Gencon itself due to shipping issues), meaning the other half (presumably heavily representative of the other three factions) are still in production/en route.

Long story short, it doesn't have to be either or. One can respect that they have a lot going on and that they are subject to the whims of things that may be beyond their control while still being ravenously and enthusiastically awaiting even tidbits of info about the new releases. Especially with the promo figure catching everyone's eye, users (doubly so for Guild players, I imagine) are trying to line up that $100+ order, and it's a bit harder to do when their chosen/primary faction has thus far been left wanting (again, possibly due to issues beyond their control).

I remain optimistic, but I'll admit I'm a bit surprised that we're this far into the week without another info dump or tidbit.

Wyrd doesn't owe anybody anything.

Of course not. They don't owe their financial success to the fans, or their popularity to the work of the henchmen and those who work the popularize the game without compensation.

All that happened in a $$$$$$$$ing vacuum.

Right peoples, this thread has been thoroughly derailed. Which is a real shame, because chatting about weapons and the character was cool.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to close it.
