Box departed on its long journey to the Glitterlands today. Shipping was surprisingly expensive.I used to feel bad for poor @Glitterwolf's mail people, now not so so much.
Hopefully, Gliiterwolf and the others down stream will find some stuff they like!

Very nice!
What is the winged one?
Never seen her before. A 28mm figure with a flaming sword and partial armor. The figure has a base that is part of the cast but she's glued atop a square 'slot-a-base'.
She seems to have left in a hurry and forgotten to bring her shirt.

I know I made people wait for my pictures but I am getting a little impatient to see other's hauls!
WE WANT PICTURES PEOPLE!!!
My apologies, here are the minis I'm claiming. The barbarian with the axe has stunning detail. I'm really looking forward to painting him. The ladies next to him both have stylish hats and are missing part of their right arms. Not sure what they gave them up to get but I hope it was worth it. :)
I love the little pug mini. I hope to use him in a game along with his buddy the big bad wolf.
My wife plans to use the sculpting dolls in her Frostgrave warband.
I need to repack and ship the box. Should be in the mail on Thursday.
Next stop The Glitterlands!

Only 5 minis in and the word stunning leapt unbidden from my mouth.
Literally!

@Glitterwolf, sound the hunting horn and recall the pack. Let beleaguered mailmen around the world rejoice!
The one true box grows nearer!
(Cue deep and distant drumming, punctuated by the howls of distant and glittery wolves)
One box to rule them all, one box to find them,One box to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Here is a comment from CAVBOSS over on Facebook. Don't know how 'official' this is but it gives an idea of what he's thinking for the game.
"Jon Walker Overdrive: Critical Failure and Critical Fumble is the same thing, a roll of double 1s. Some of the following is coming as an errata update so it is a little different than what's currently listed. When shooting PBGs, regardless if a single-rolled or salvo attack, you will roll 1d6 only once after making the required combat rolls. On a 1, the PBGs (all of them) have over-heated and cannot be used the following turn. If any of the combat rolls are a double 1, the PBGs (all of them) will automatically over-heat, resulting in the loss of them for a turn. There will no longer be any weapon failure."

@Flit I would love to play these superhero games but don't know anyone who likes them locally. That said, they were too good to pass up.
I love CAV wish it were a bit more popular.

@hjorhrafn and I are friends IRL and I got a chance to look trade with his box over coffee and pie at VI. Here are pics of what I took.
In a few days we'll reverse the process before I send my box on to the glittery canine. ;)
A few Reaper minis that inspired me. The alchemist in the middle is going to be part of Frostgrave warband.
Not sure what this Helldorado mini is... A dog wearing Circular straw hat...? Possibly the demon dog thing from here.

A collection of Reptus heads, possible head swaps for my Legion rebels...?
I am the collector of metal CAV models. :)
An awesome find Batman and Superman!
I like these base patterns a lot.

Thanks. Planning on finishing my portion of the paint tonight and finalizing by choices and such. So box should be on it's way by Monday. At least that's the plan.
Thanks @Dilvish the Deliverer, I need to pass it on to the glittery canine asap before we lose anymore more postpeople. :)

I really like the way @Doublesix66 and @Jeneki are thinking. I want this to be a combined arms game.

Greetings and welcome to the Generic Fighter Box! First, I request that those in my box send a Private Message of some sort including your Address to the person that is before you in the box's journey a soon as you can. So that the box can travel fairly fast even if communication is difficult later on. This is a thing that has happened before and I would like to minimize it if we can :) Next on the agenda, What are your thoughts about a "Group Paint Mini"? Do you want on in the box? Any Ideas for which mini to use? Any other thoughts on the subject? Current Plan is to mail this box out the Week of the 11th of March. I have Real Life things that make it hard to send before then which means we have time to decide the Group Paint Mini status. I'll look through my stuff and see if their are any that stand out to me.
In other news, Thanks Ioun the new Forums have an Auto save feature! nearly lost my post because the idiots that designed my laptop put a stupid sensor node in the middle of the keyboard that changes pages and cannot be turned off!!!! BLEEPING DELL!
GF
I'm up for a group paint mini. I'll send my address to Dilvish who I met at Reapercon last year and who was my victim in the CAV Secret Santa last year! :)

Am I now in the Lead Box loop?
Because I'd like to?
Glitterwolf, I'm sending you the box from the heart of America's Midwest where there happens to be a curious deposit of lead crystals in the oddest old forms. I'll make certain it contains some lead for you if you like. :)

I love the look of the Simba Walker and I like the idea of a Mechanized force but the game is more CAV centric and to CAVBOSS' point infantry are a side note.
That said I've played a couple of stands before along with a Simba. A mechanized force requires a large investment into transports. The terrans have:
Merlin 123 pts carries 1 stand of PA Infantry
Tsukai 130 pts carries 1 stand of PA Infantry (2 if you take an upgrade to its capacity)
Simba 575 pts carries 2 stands of PA Infantry
The Simba is gorgeous but for its cost + the cost of its infantry it doesn't have enough impact on the battlefield. -imo. Unless the scenario specifically requires infantry to accomplish some objective.

...and with that I think this SS is complete.
I believe we had 1 figure go amiss but the person it was intended for was gifted a mini of his choice and everyone received something.
If by any chance this was not the case then message me and I'll settle up with you directly.

I'm pretty sure my submission has long since arrived, but I can't find the tracking number, and the intended recipient hasn't been on the forum since before Christmas...
Strangely enough, I saw him post about it on Facebook. I've asked him to post here.

You are inside for most of the time there, brand new building with AC. No big deal
I prefer the old schedule - temps are cooler, Labor Day weekend is a 'big' travel weekend in the states.
I like the looks of the new venue but as a consumer I can't see any advantage to the change in schedule.
