First Reaper, now Deadlands!

Howdy folks. Fresh off of the thread debating exactly why WotC can't publish prepainted, non-random mini sets, and even fresher off of the thread discussing how Reaper is starting up a line of prepainted, non-random mini sets despite WotC telling them it can't be done, I give you....

Prepainted non-random Deadlands miniatures skirmish game!

Yeah, I never believed WOTC's claims about it not being profitable. I only believed it wasn't Uber profitable enough for Hasbro.

Its plenty profitable for companies like Reaper and Pinnacle. They aren't trying to have a billion dollars in profits every year.

This is great. I can't wait to see how many "normal" style miniatures they have in the set. I've been keeping an eye out for western minis and scenery/terrain for Aces & Eights.

Do we have a price on these yet?

The initial release is 20 figures: four packs of 5 figures each.

From what I can see, they'd like to make more, but they're going to wait and see how profitable the original run is. Given the low level interest on their message boards, it's not looking good so far, but it may pick up when they actually start releasing pricing details and the release comes along.

Cheers!

Yay capitalism! We'll see if it works.

Those would work great with Frag Deadlands.http://www.sjgames.com/frag/

I may buy all 4 sets of 5 several times to help them out. Whether or not I play the game attached who knows, but western style minis for my DL classic game, awesome.

ARGH!

I need these figures NOW for my True20 Western game!

 

[Rodrigo Istalindir]

Crap. Anyone driving to GenCon so I can pile all the minis I buy in their trunk?

Well, right now there isn't much to talk about. The only cast we've seen is of a hangin' judge. Everything else is just smoke right now. But people are talking about it, and I know Shane Hensley is excited. In a recent interview, he stated that his dream would be to put out a set of prepainted plastic minis for each savage setting, much like they do with their figure flats.
