Numenera Figures

[Lars Porsenna]

Trying currently to get my group to play Numenera as our next game when pathfinder winds down (few more sessions we're thinking). These minis look to be right up my alley!

I hope we can buy the minis separate, some of them look cool. Am I the only one that read it as 'numanuma figures' at first glance?

 

 

No, I made a comment on facebook about that as well. ;)

So to help me clear things up. Limited box set release at GC (like the Pirates from '12 RCon) & later as singles or as regular licensed line box set??

 

Great looking figs, I'd hate to miss out on them cause I can't make it to GC.

I have to say the sculpts don't do much for me, but if they'll be at GC maybe I'll get a look at them in person. Anyone want to tell me what is so special about the rpg?

[unidentifiable]

So the news statement says 10 minis, and the picture shows 8...we get two mystery minis?

 

I have to agree with Inarah here that the minis aren't 100% my bag, but the Numenera setting is incredible, so maybe once I read some lore the figures will make sense.

 

Right now, Jazz Hands McCaster and High Collar McFighter are the only pair that stand out. The Scarf Chick looked neat until I saw she had a pickaxe for a hand. A weapon swap would make for a neat mini there.

I only know what I've read on the Numenera website as I missed the kickstarter for it. But, it sounds like it's a pretty story driven system with an emphasis on discovery and exploration. It's mentioned somewhere that you don't get exp from killing monsters (gasp), but you do from discovering new things/places and you may have to slay a few monsters to do that. The setting is pretty different, which I like, and allows for just about anything to happen and be made to 'fit' in the world.

Monte Cook posted on his web site that these are metal and the price; "I think about $40, but I’m not yet 100% sure." The timing is good, the kickstarter backers pdf is being released Thursday, and they plan on having books in stores by August 14th.

["That Guy"]

If anyone is wondering, I have the first five on my desk prepped and primed with the other three currently pictured coming in tomorrow wor Thursday. I will have them painted for the box set art in short order.

[ShadowRaven]

can't wait to see what you do with them.

For larger pics of the individual figures I sculpted, you can see them here.

Have to say the poses look a bit static by Reaper standards, but I guess they're done based on some kind of "RPG pin-up" artwork?

Much of the art they are based on can be found on the Numenera website.

Nice enough sculpts but the posing is a bit too 'board game token' for me.

I'm not a huge fan of Monte Cook's game design. I think he was responsible for a lot of the bigger flaws in 3rd edition. But damn if the guy doesn't know how to make a decent setting. I'll probably use Savage Worlds or Fate to actually run Numenara, but I can't wait to have some Dying Earth fun.

The mini look kinda cool, doubt I have a use for them, but look like decent sculpts
