The VIG stat is interesting to say the least. She is quite squishy but stealing AP is huge and her good SPD should keep her somewhat safe. She is an excellent bully terrorizing enemies with low CBT dodging their attack, stealing their AP and keeping them to base to base.

Oh, and killing and eating them as well!

A very nice design, I think. Dante's Angels also have a special rule that allows Jokers and Matriarchy to hire one (just one) Angel into a crew and the Angel changes faction to match.]]>

Damn! Puppet Master looks really nice painted and I'm extremely positively surprised by the Puppets. The sculpts turned out very nicely! The rules for this beast are certainly going to be really interesting on the fields of Eden (the box comes with cards for both Escape and Eden).

Rumours tell that Puppet Master is a Pilot, has full Pr +1 and all of his stats are the same number(!?). I'm guessing five, and if so, he is truly a beast.

Can't wait!]]> <![CDATA[News for February]]> http://www.taban-miniatures.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1615 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 00:14:16 +0000 http://www.taban-miniatures.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1615

Clearly, a not-Michonne from Walking Dead. Although they seem popular, I do not really care for knockoff characters from popular media. If I do get my hands on this figure, she'll get a different paintjob, probably Caucasian, just so she doesn't come across as Michonne in the Eden world.

Ball-Man

The new slave for the Matriarchy. The French forum has been dwelling on the fact that he looks to have Askari styled modifications as well as Resistance pants. The pants I think can be discarded as just a paintjob choice. The modifications however, are interesting. I like the idea of the Matriarchy slaves being made up of captures from other factions, so this is cool to me. Maybe there is some contrast with the Askari and tech hating Matriatchy though.
As for the sculpt, it is a little close to Scourge- Man in weaponry. Weird choice for back to back releases of slaves if you ask me.

No stats yet. What do you guys think so far?]]>

Comments-time!

Ken is in a bit of different style from the rest of the minis. I believe he pays homage to an anime or manga, but I have not seen that so the reference escapes me. A 40-point mercenary is certainly interesting from a game perspective, though.

Kelisha is an amazing sculpt! Boobs with the proper sense of movement is something I don't recall seeing before in minis and the spear-throw-thing is very clever. An ultra-dynamic sculpt and certainly has that wow-factor. Love it!

Black Kunoici - I hope she comes with the option for the hat! The head seems a bit big but it is a good sculpt that I like. I've also understood that the original was really fragile, especially from the ankles, so I can see the reason for this sculpt.

Lloyd will find his way to my collection for sure! I've always liked power fists and this guy provides attitude in spades. Really cool.

Tarik is a beautiful sculpt! I must say, that I dread these halberdy things a bit since they are a bit of a pain to transport safely but he oozes authority and looks altogether just great.

Finally, Niklaus. Love the look of the horse. Suitably down-trodden but a proper horse - those aren't easy to sculpt. And the rider is fun. A great idea and a good execution of something that we haven't seen in Eden yet.]]> [Image: ken1.jpg]

My french isn't the best. But what I understand is that there will be a Kickstarter campaign for the Boardgame Escape starting May the 20th.

It will be released in french and english with deatailed plastic miniatures.

My question is, will the Miniatures be different from those available now?
Is Duncan without helmet still available after the campaign or even included in the box?
Do the profile cards come within the box to use the miniatures in Eden?]]> http://www.taban-miniatures.com/wordpres...18&lang=fr

As I mentioned in a separate thread I have recently picked up the Horde starter (Broodmaster) along wiht the Fleshmaster. My next purchase will be the Butcher. New models are easy enough but...

...what about the mission and tactical cards? In the starter I only received two missions and two tactical cards and I'm craving more variety. The website has a mission card pack and tacical and token set to purchase but is marked "available soon" (English edition obviously). In the Horde section there is a Horde starter card set which is what I thought I had but the image suggests four mission and four tactical cards so I'm a little confused.

Anyone care to offer some advice/clarity?

Thank in advance.]]>

so now that the ruebooks are shipping, i thought to open a feedback thread. What is missing? Something misspelled?
There some mistakes, which happen of course, and i want to show Taban these so that they can get rid of them in the next prints.

There are some parts in the rulebook which are still in french. Nothing important in terms of understanding the rules or the backround but wrong nonetheless.
These are on pages: 119 and 130 a) Preparation Phase.
And all the shown cards are in french.

I really like this book and i hope there will be more with some short stories and backround on individual characters. But as a start it's pretty nice Smile

The Askari starter - apparently the starter includes quite a few alternative heads and arms for the models and there has been some talk of the fighters being perhaps somehow customizable or something in the game as well. The starter apparently contains aside from the stat, mission and tactical cards also twelve other cards.

Rather awesome! Fluff in English is super-welcome.

The way they have set up the 100€ perk is a wee bit strange, though, in that you can kinda "bet" on how huge a success the campaign is going to be. This would be a good system in Kickstarter, but on IndieGoGo you can't change your pledge level which might make people wait to see what the extras are and therefore not reach them Undecided

Hopefully that won't come to pass.]]>
