It took them only a little longer than they said, but in late December, my WWX models finally arrived. Thankfully, they are very nice models. Unfortunately, the rules leave a lot to be desired.<\/p>\n
Geronimo, the model I backed the kickstarter for, is an enormous pile of plastic and resin larger than a Slayer. Sadly for me, their is a huge gap in his raised arm, and I can’t put him together yet.<\/p>\n
[singlepic id=311 w= h= float=none]<\/p>\n
The Great Elk, the second model I really, really loved, is an enormous model as well. Almost as tall as the Kraken, but not nearly as wide, long or cool, he takes up a goodly portion of his enormous base without enveloping it.<\/p>\n
[singlepic id=312 w= h= float=none]<\/p>\n
Sitting Bull, of which I have two, is a unique prospect. The game has True LOS rules, which are dumb, but the models here really exemplify why. Standard Sitting Bull is a pretty cool model. Alternate Sitting bull is also a cool model. But, due to the way TLOS is, the alternate is the only logical choice. He is 50% smaller and 3\/4″ less wide. at only 1.5 inches tall, his alt for can hide behind many barriers that his original sculpt cannot.<\/p>\n
[singlepic id=316 w= h= float=none][singlepic id=315 w= h= float=none]<\/p>\n
Walks Lookings model is pretty cool, but the one hand keeps falling off because its stupid resin arm is glued by the smallest of small joins.<\/p>\n
[singlepic id=319 w= h= float=none]<\/p>\n
Sky Spirit is a fun model: Were-birds just aren’t as represented as they could be, and he’s taking full advantage with a giant spirit bow. Sadly, this model too has problems, and has a hole in his damned foot.<\/p>\n
[singlepic id=317 w= h= float=none]<\/p>\n
Energy Riders are next up, but, sadly I only have one. I ordered 3 energy riders, and got Energy rider #3. The other two will have to wait some time, I guess.<\/p>\n
[singlepic id=309 w= h= float=none]<\/p>\n
Stone Fist is the Cav leader, and he’s just not well designed. His horse goes together alright if they give you 2 front and 2 rear legs, instead of 3 rear and 1 front. His Torso, however, is busted as hell. The angle of the mold cut is terrible, and his arms don’t fit where they are supposed to. The best solution on the forums is to hot water-bend the model into place, which is a terrible solution. Yet another model I cannot finish.<\/p>\n
[singlepic id=318 w= h= float=none]<\/p>\n
Sadly, as I unpack, I realize that I ordered the wrong Mercenary model, and get stupid Jake Mattia instead of awesome Flowing River.
\nI mean, Jayne is cool and all, but who doesn’t want River Tam!<\/p>\n
I’ve also got a pile of base inserts, but not enough to do the whole crew. I’ll just put them on important or good looking models.<\/p>\n
The Hired Hands are the basic troopers, and they come in boxes of 10, with 5 melee and 5 Ranged, The models aren’t all good, but the ones that are, I really like. “Two Guns” and ” Fighting Backward” are both models I would rather do without. And while we’re at it, I’d like less static ranged options. oh well!<\/p>\n
[singlepic id=308 w= h= float=none]<\/p>\n
[singlepic id=314 w= h= float=none]<\/p>\n
All in all, the models are a cool bunch. I’ll be glad to paint them up when the time comes, but there were so many problems with them overall, that its just, I don’t know its worth it. Maybe, like Malifaux, the 2e will be glorious!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
