Also a lot of the creatures use the Chinese names (Sun Wukong, Jiangshi) even thought the set is pretty much Japanese. 10 hours ago, haldir said: Sweet, re-reading the adventure that this mini is going to be in, I don't need it, ha ha. It's more or less a story of the creature "a story of legend" so to speak. Glad I didn't spend the cash last month. ha ha I have learnt long ago to never get something because it has a good story behind it, get it because the thing itself is something you enjoy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I agree, but these days I'm mainly printing stuff I need for upcoming games & such. I like CVP's style but if I don't need it no reason for me to get when I don't really need it. I've debated on a ghoul set as I kinda want (need) them, but I'm still going back in forth if I wanna implement them into a game or not. I guess we'll see this month or not. A surprise flash sale on MMF from this particular vendor would swing them into a buy of course, ha ha. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the name, he's meant to be the historical Yasuke, an African who came to Japan with missionaries and wound up becoming a Samurai. He's one of the base figures in "Zombicide: White Death" as well. The style is definitely Afro Samurai 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Werewolf Tarvern had a great set of drow for example but I didn't need any at the time but then was looking over Dwarrowdeep but the aftermarket prices for their sets are not within what I'd consider reasonable reach so... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I agree with yah. Some of those post Patreon/Tribe prices are like "ummmm, yah ok..". So outside of the benefit FronTier I did when Artisan Guild did for the island that had the volcanic eruption on it (the fire giant), tomorrow I will do my first FronTier based campaign. Figures it would be Artisan Guild as well. Looking forward to this one, actually. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristof65 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 <sigh> I don't think I'm going to renew my Print Minis Tribe at the end of May. They've been moving away from the cyberpunk feel I originally joined for, and more towards 40k proxy figures. Plus they're doing everything at 36mm now, instead of 30-32mm. Time to look for a new creator of sci-fi/cyberpunk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Paladins/Witchhunters are useful for exactly that. The Militia has the right outfits to join my Conquistadores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah I wasn't expecting the cost to be that high. I think I'll just pass on this one. As a AG patreon my cost would be 78 & even then I'm like ehh. I was expecting the initial cost to be lower & the patreon discount to be better, I mean 12% really? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
