Transcript
- 0:02My wallet is sobbing. I can hear it.
- 0:04I can hear it in the hall now. It is breaking down crying.
- 0:08It turns out the Attila the arrogant so and so.
- 0:11He's got a fake hammer. A fake?
- 0:14Yeah. Whoa.
- 0:15As I say, Dick. Welcome to episode 147 of the
- 0:21Allegiance Podcast. And we're making a show of
- 0:25ourselves for the 2026 predictions.
- 0:28This is the one that we'll be taking clips out of to review
- 0:33next January again and see how wrong we were.
- 0:37All right, all right, you. Know feeling by the list of
- 0:42predictions I've I've I've I've jotted down here that I think
- 0:47I'm going to be I'm going to be in miles position next year when
- 0:50it comes to the prediction rankings yeah anyway, Malcolm
- 0:56Kennedy Richard Jones here again with me John Caulfield as usual.
- 1:01How's it going, Mal? Yeah, it's good.
- 1:04It's good been. A long week, January.
- 1:09Not. Not so much.
- 1:11But this is the month we get through to to enjoy the rest of
- 1:15the year really, isn't it? Pretty much February is a little
- 1:17bit like that as well. But yeah.
- 1:20It's the lack of, it's the daylight, it's the dullness for
- 1:22me that that's the real the. Wet and cold, you know, I can do
- 1:26with cold, but any wet, yeah. Damp and rich, how's your back
- 1:33holding up in this? I've got a heat blanket on it at
- 1:36the moment. Generally it's it's, yeah, it's
- 1:38improving definitely, but it's just got rim here.
- 1:41I mean, I got to the office this morning, parked up in the car,
- 1:44parked by the office is what, 6:50?
- 1:47It's like, oh, it's horribly early anyway, but it's spitting
- 1:49little bit. That's fine.
- 1:50Put my phone out to pay on the app.
- 1:52And as I was paying, the heavens opened and it just tipped it
- 1:55down. It's just like, oh great, OK.
- 1:58And that started off the rubbish day.
- 2:00So it's yeah. Kind of sounds like a little
- 2:03extract from that story you were telling Van on Richie's Randoms
- 2:06last week. Listen.
- 2:07I saw, I saw, I saw a little teaser or something from that,
- 2:11but I think that isn't works. I didn't get a chance to.
- 2:12Listen to it. Hopefully I, I just, I teased
- 2:16the question and the very start of the answer and then it cuts
- 2:19off. So hopefully people will be
- 2:22tempted to hear hear the rest of it.
- 2:24It's good story and good chat with Van.
- 2:26We also have a couple more coming up over the next couple
- 2:29of weeks for Rich's randoms as well as we might do another.
- 2:33We'll definitely do another patron episode as well on some
- 2:37other stuff. And do we have a live stream
- 2:39coming up as well, Rich soon? That we do, yes.
- 2:42So we're doing our now annual live quiz, looking back at
- 2:48legions of 2025, what we saw, what we got in hand, all that
- 2:53sorts of thing. And as we're still technically
- 2:55just about close enough to Christmas, there's some
- 2:57Christmas Christmas movie drawings from me as well.
- 2:59People can. Oh, my kryptonite.
- 3:02Yeah, I think they're everyone's group The night, you know,
- 3:06Because they're not great, let's be honest.
- 3:08But they're fun. Yeah.
- 3:10So that's going to be the 31st of January, which is a Saturday
- 3:13and as a was it a 7:00 PM UK 7? PM UK, Yeah.
- 3:20Yeah. So work out your time zones from
- 3:22there. Yeah, yeah.
- 3:24OK, note of the time. We have some good guests and if
- 3:27nothing else, you'll see Mel and John embarrass themselves.
- 3:30As for normal. Probably.
- 3:32Like every week on this show basically, right?
- 3:37Little bit of news from 4 Horsemen or since we last spoke,
- 3:42a couple of things worth talking about.
- 3:44So shipping was #1 so we talked about all the waves that are
- 3:48we're waiting for over the last one.
- 3:50I think in the last few couple episodes they came up in various
- 3:54different ways and we have some news on that, some kind of
- 3:59concrete stuff. We knew maybe some of this
- 4:02previously, but still worth going over and this is kind of
- 4:05more concrete timeline for a lot of this stuff. 2025 retailer
- 4:11appreciation wave has a street date 18th of February.
- 4:15So if you have that on pre-order, you will have to pay
- 4:20for that in February. So factor that one in.
- 4:23That's me, yeah. I got the emails from Big Bad
- 4:27for the ones I ordered from them.
- 4:29Yeah, I have a couple of three of that green snake and three of
- 4:34that trooper to pay for. So yeah.
- 4:36Yeah, I got 6 figures to pay for as well.
- 4:39Yeah. And then eight at the moment,
- 4:43Rising Suns, that is the Red Star and the Noble Bear Wave
- 4:51shipping begins early February from the Horsemen.
- 4:53We don't know if it's all ends. We don't know if it's single
- 4:56figures. It depends what arrives first in
- 4:59their warehouse they said. But that'll be going out all in
- 5:02February I would say and into March.
- 5:04So if you have a direct pre-order, it'll be then I would
- 5:08guess the street date will be sometime around early March
- 5:13would be my guess. So another bill coming for those
- 5:22and Cosmic Legions, Ox Crew Herald Zone.
- 5:25So Ox Crew 2, as we often call arriving in late March.
- 5:31So that means it'll be shipping out direct from the Horsemen
- 5:33late late March and then subsequently retailers.
- 5:38So we you know, we we have predictions.
- 5:42So I'm not going to say what I was going to say there that
- 5:45might go into one of the predictions.
- 5:47Infinite legions also arriving late March so cosmic adjacent
- 5:51yeah and quick we love that we love a bit of that's not long on
- 5:57pre-order. They didn't they didn't take too
- 6:00long. That's only two figs as such,
- 6:02but still it's the space suits and we actually they become even
- 6:09more interesting now the infinite legions, because
- 6:12there's not much cosmic on preorder.
- 6:14Those space suits are amazing and we just have cog in the next
- 6:17wave and you know, we have all the other ones, the veloc and
- 6:22stuff that you know, we have those colours.
- 6:24So now we have these colours and if you want ones for customs,
- 6:28you know, might be a good option with these.
- 6:33Did you order these as well Rich the infinite legions?
- 6:37I did, yeah. One of the faden and three of
- 6:41the other duties. Never.
- 6:42Can't remember. The purple guy.
- 6:44Yeah, Fanos. Fanos, yeah.
- 6:48Excellent. And then more stuff, Q2,
- 6:52twenties 26, so Q2 is April until June.
- 6:55So somewhere in that window, ashes of egg Bendor.
- 7:00So they were, you know, it's going to be the two year mark
- 7:04for this unfortunately, but it's what it is.
- 7:07But it's coming so exciting. Yep.
- 7:11Roll on that shadow Centaur, even if you 2 and.
- 7:16There's some cool figures in there.
- 7:18No, I am looking forward. To this is the one wave I
- 7:20didn't. I think it's the one mythic
- 7:23legions wave in the last four years that I didn't order
- 7:26everything from so and all in from so controversial take there
- 7:31from me open to the dawns of discovery that is actually, but
- 7:35I will probably order the the other one Dawns of discovery
- 7:38ones from a retailer. So yeah, it was more just how it
- 7:41worked out. At the time, yeah, at.
- 7:43The time, yeah, but there's this other one was I'm not getting
- 7:46those ones. Yeah, they didn't get.
- 7:48Too fussed by a bunch of them, were you so?
- 7:51Yeah, it wasn't too many, but it was a couple, definitely that
- 7:53shadow centre. Yeah, yeah.
- 7:54And so that's the one where the Orleans will share first for
- 7:59sure. That's my guess.
- 8:05But quick off, the quick off the production ranks is the
- 8:09graveyard zombies and skeletons also arriving in Q2.
- 8:12So from last November. So that's that's a good timeline
- 8:17as well as the legacy. So the the pre-order batch of
- 8:20that which was up for pre-order in October, I think last year
- 8:25run this October time just after the direct in stock sale of them
- 8:33and then beta there is still scheduled to ship 2026.
- 8:38So that's the latest update. I mean that was the update, but
- 8:42now it's, you know, updated again in January 2026 that they
- 8:46still expected to be on track. So exciting.
- 8:50There is other waves, you know, in the mix here that they
- 8:54haven't mentioned, but that could still, you know, come into
- 8:57the picture for this year like the is the beasts, the rising
- 9:07rain of the beasts rain. Rain of the Beasts, yeah.
- 9:10Yeah. So, you know, and of course when
- 9:15a lot of stuff starts to ship to us, it means stuff has to come
- 9:18in on the pre-order side and take its place.
- 9:23So here's what's happening in that regard.
- 9:29Character 2 packs, they're ending January 25th, so that's
- 9:33this weekend basically that this podcast is released first.
- 9:38So if you want to get them direct from the Horsemen, now is
- 9:42the time. Otherwise retailers should pick
- 9:45most of them up, but that comes with the caveat that that's up
- 9:50to the retailer whether they'll pick them up.
- 9:52But we think at least Big Bad will have them.
- 9:54So at the very worst you have an option.
- 10:00Infinite legions arc and the cruel pre-order begins late
- 10:04January. We'll probably be talking in
- 10:06more detail about this guy next week then if they if they early
- 10:09next week start to put out some info about him.
- 10:13It's definitely in the next couple of weeks.
- 10:15Isn't it late? January, meaning you know the
- 10:19daily live stream is Saturday the 31st, so it has to be next
- 10:24week. It does.
- 10:25My guess is a Wednesday reveal and then a Friday pre-order.
- 10:29Oh great, So. Yeah, it's completely but.
- 10:35You say, but then if the kick started late February.
- 10:38So you're probably right, Rich. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 10:41So as Matt said, Kickstarter role-playing game late February,
- 10:45more stuff to to come on that second.
- 10:48So we have a few more details on that.
- 10:51Rounding up mates who aren't in the Legions community but like
- 10:55the idea of planning day. I've been going soon, by the end
- 10:58of the year we're going to be doing.
- 11:00Oh yeah, definitely. Yeah, yeah, definitely we should
- 11:03do that. And once you learn on the roof,
- 11:05then you can, you can run an online game for us, me and Rich.
- 11:11And then what a lot of people have been waiting for and
- 11:14especially those that didn't make it last November to New
- 11:19Jersey, to Legions Con in stock sale begins in April.
- 11:24And that is for the Legions Con figures.
- 11:27So it's everything pictured here at the bottom of this slide,
- 11:30which is the Crossroads figures, those four, which are basically
- 11:362 separate figures. But will these be boxed?
- 11:39No, these will be boxed. I don't know how they.
- 11:42Would be still just be the two ain't.
- 11:45Just the two, yeah, without the exclusive bits.
- 11:47So yeah. Yeah.
- 11:48Yeah, a 1.0, which is the revenant and the nymph surer
- 11:55revenue. Maybe my heads that are on the
- 11:57figure in the box maybe like yes.
- 11:59That's what they do. They reverse them.
- 12:00Yeah, Coy. The legions cons price drop
- 12:05tough. The the figure obscure and eh.
- 12:12Then we also have the Legacies, Scaphoid and Survival Guard.
- 12:17Oh yes, they'll be there. And we also have the armoury
- 12:23figures. Oh, don't.
- 12:24They'll get. That Oh no, Jeremy has said in
- 12:26the comments of the posts. Yeah.
- 12:28OK, cool, so that's the one. Oh well, it's works.
- 12:31Pretty expensive. Well, keep keep a few if you
- 12:35quit for April. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 12:38My birthday is in May, so maybe I'll just get a Four Horsemen
- 12:42gift voucher. Will be will be what I'll ask
- 12:45for for my birthday slightly earlier.
- 12:47Maybe it's the same closest before then?
- 12:50I'm with you, John. I'm in early June.
- 12:51So yeah, yeah, your voucher. Boom.
- 12:54I think what I want is the the armoury, you know, all in on the
- 13:00armoury. That's pretty much what I want
- 13:03out of this because I have the other ones I.
- 13:06Want and the armoury and a few extras of some of the various
- 13:13bonds with the belts and the trout and trousers and boot
- 13:17combination that I want. So yeah.
- 13:20Yeah, thinking all in plus a couple.
- 13:23Probably just the two extra white orc build.
- 13:30And then what about Colin? You know, there's the other
- 13:33figures. I've got 3 koi, that's probably
- 13:37enough. Is it 3 or 43?
- 13:41See what FOMO we get on the day exactly.
- 13:44Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm fine.
- 13:46Make sure you guys going? I bought 6.
- 13:49Yeah, you should be, definitely. It'll be if it sits there for a
- 13:54day, then Rich will start getting.
- 13:56Yeah, that's it. And.
- 13:57Then probably another 3 or 4 revenants.
- 13:59I only got 1 to keep Allegiance con so I need some more of that
- 14:02as well. Good look at that.
- 14:06If if I'd probably get another umm.
- 14:12Valgard. OK.
- 14:13The dwarf. Yeah, yeah, yeah, very cool,
- 14:18right? We also had this little fella.
- 14:20They had the heroic elf Rogue. He's full debut at the
- 14:24Philadelphia Area Gaming Expo, so we get the painted version
- 14:30him. It's supposed to be blueish and
- 14:33so paint grey, it's called the colour on his sleeves and his
- 14:38pants, brown leather. That is the Poxus torso.
- 14:43It looks like belts, stuff like that.
- 14:46Cool head. Didn't our good friend Brett do
- 14:51a comparison and it's actually the scapula torso?
- 15:01How is it? Oh, Scapular, Yes, yes.
- 15:04OK. It looks very similar to boxes.
- 15:05Yes, you're right. OK.
- 15:09And then the new head, obviously you see it.
- 15:13They're slightly more close up here.
- 15:16Comes with. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Scapular.
- 15:19Yeah. And.
- 15:21That's about last looking head. Yeah.
- 15:23And it's this is one of the base player figures that would be
- 15:26offered as part of the Kickstarter for just $30.00, so
- 15:292999 that's $30. A pre rolled character sheet for
- 15:35this character would be included in the beginner box, which I
- 15:39think we'll all get in the beginner box for sure.
- 15:43And this will be offered. We'll have a corresponding mini
- 15:48of his Alvin Rogue, so pretty good.
- 15:53And of course, this is allegiance figure.
- 15:54The configurations here is just the beginning.
- 15:56You can pop and swap parts to upgrade and customise your
- 15:59character. And we have a very cool
- 16:01character pack planned to go alongside this rogue.
- 16:04So that'll be extra, but not crazy extra.
- 16:08It'll be, you know, a few dollars extra, probably the 10
- 16:11or 15, I don't know how. So that was how the the the red,
- 16:18the red light gun was going to work, came as one configuration
- 16:22and you could buy the character pack.
- 16:24That was the other configuration and that you got with the Comic
- 16:29Con versions, which is a good, fantastic idea.
- 16:33Interesting here for you, Rich. This will allow you to transform
- 16:36them into a completely different profession and a different
- 16:40species. From the species.
- 16:41That's that's the important one. Hello.
- 16:44Yeah, So kicks off into February, as we've said before
- 16:48and as it says here. So I'm very exciting.
- 16:52We will definitely be all over this and there'll be a few
- 16:55episodes at least, I'm sure, on this whole topic.
- 16:59I. Have becomes my sharkman rogue.
- 17:01Well, I have prediction that might reference what I think,
- 17:06yeah. Yes, we're getting there.
- 17:08So this was another picture that they posted from the this
- 17:14display they had. And there you can see that
- 17:17that's the character pack for the for the red knight.
- 17:21It has the it's a cleric head repainted in there has another
- 17:27knight. And then you can see the knight
- 17:29head does the knight minis a different all bunch of different
- 17:32dice there. Yeah, it this all looks amazing.
- 17:36You can see characters use the character shoot there for Varg
- 17:40so. That's one and I haven't made
- 17:44this prediction, but one thing I would love is to get is like a a
- 17:50monster manual of existing characters from the from the
- 17:53from the mythos. That would be I'm.
- 17:55Sure, there would be something like.
- 17:57I'm sure there would be something to cover that.
- 17:58It would. Make sense?
- 17:59Because it might be, doesn't it? But yeah.
- 18:02And then just the last picture here I have is of the map, you
- 18:07know, kind of table and I. Forgot what it was called now,
- 18:10but yeah, it's like a book, wasn't it, that you could have
- 18:12the the miniatures sized map? We then switched to the figure
- 18:21action figure size map, which is very cool.
- 18:25Yeah, and then one last thing here, a bit of news.
- 18:28Graveyard skeletons. The box art was revealed and
- 18:32they're going to come in coffins, so I.
- 18:39Prefer that to the actual skeletons to be.
- 18:43This is This might tempt me to pick up one or two.
- 18:46Yeah, yeah, keep the box. And eh, yeah, this is done by
- 18:51Tom Tolman, I think. So, eh very nicely done and eh,
- 18:56very appropriate. So eh, if you want to see that
- 19:00in even higher definition, better detail, the horseman's
- 19:03socials have pictures of that. So just scroll back a few days
- 19:08and you'll see it. Right?
- 19:11So now, last minute scribbling there for the predictions.
- 19:16It's time to actually get into it.
- 19:20We're going to get a mid year away from mythics and I think it
- 19:24will follow on from the Horror of Einsomal, but Bridge the
- 19:29Horror and the Dawns of Destiny. Is that what it's called?
- 19:36Discovery, Discovery, Dawns of Discovery and I think so.
- 19:42I think the ship mentioned in the Horrors because we never
- 19:46actually get a description of the Undertow in Dawns of
- 19:49Discovery. I think the ship mentioned in
- 19:51the Horrors is the Undertow with the red sails, and I might be
- 19:58misinterpreting it, which will completely wipe out my whole.
- 20:02But in Captain Iron jaws, the iron jaw Iron yeah, Iron school.
- 20:11It's kind of one of those days. Iron school's bio it it's Fray.
- 20:17The it's it might just be poetic language the way Jeremy's
- 20:21written it, but it says about. The Undertow crew are sent on
- 20:26missions no one else wants to do, and it's one of these
- 20:29missions that puts them in conflict in head in the sights
- 20:35of or the head to head with. I suppose the time frame is
- 20:39probably wrong, isn't it? But they could still be.
- 20:41Don't overthink it. Don't.
- 20:43Overthink it, but but anyway, so I think they're actually they're
- 20:47doing this Einser Mile mission and they've in run run into they
- 20:52haven't actually been sent to attack the ship.
- 20:56They they just happen to have encountered it.
- 20:59So I think the mid year wave is going to be a mix of so so so
- 21:04the thing about that mid is is a Gar Garmin's belt and the
- 21:09vampire element of it. So I think we're going to get in
- 21:13the mid year wave a mix of Undertow crew and some sort of
- 21:17vampires and I think they'll be different vampires to we've seen
- 21:24before somehow. I don't know how they'll have a
- 21:28different lineage so they can do something different with them.
- 21:33I'll be honest Mal, I hope your prediction is better than mine
- 21:35then if they're going to be more vampires.
- 21:38And I've said, I think I, and I don't say this lightly, I think
- 21:43there might be a shark man in the Undertow crew because it
- 21:49just feels like it would fit. You've just taken, you've just
- 21:52taken all of Rich's predictions. I'm just literally.
- 21:55Crossing him off my phone again. Fine, yeah.
- 21:58And then, but that's as deep as I'm then, like I'm a bit out of
- 22:01a couple of vampires. No idea what they'll look like,
- 22:04but I think they'll look a bit different to what we used to.
- 22:07I just don't know how quite and and I don't know who else will
- 22:12get in that crew. That's where I it could we
- 22:16should say to the list they shouldn't we?
- 22:18It's so hard. They're predicting anything.
- 22:21It's crazy there. There's no educated guess
- 22:23because they're all over the place.
- 22:26Yeah, there's like, because there's the hints that Jeremy
- 22:29gives, but then like everyone kind of can can guess them at
- 22:33this stage because so many people are in the weeds on it.
- 22:36Yeah. So now you just really have to
- 22:38throw darts at the board to be to be kind of anyway.
- 22:45And that's that's what I've got for mid year wave.
- 22:48I think that's what we're getting.
- 22:51I have slightly more than that, so I apologise if Zeppo runs
- 22:54long. John, don't kill me.
- 22:56No, no, he's good. Go for it.
- 23:00So I've done a little story to to tuck it on.
- 23:03It's just 4 little paragraphs but bear with me people on this
- 23:07one. So I spent this most.
- 23:10Of This will not be in the review episode of of these
- 23:13predictions. So I spent most of the last two
- 23:15days when I wasn't working thinking how are they going to
- 23:17carry on from the horror and small way but fit the vampire
- 23:21type feel into it as well. So I got a little little back
- 23:24story and then we'll leap into the 8 on characters like spell
- 23:29that in. Detail Jesus.
- 23:31Yeah, no, not messing around here.
- 23:34Right, I promise to edit this episode well because I have not
- 23:37done the homework as well. Once Upon a time, so aeons ago
- 23:44before before current mythos, the Brood sent an army to the
- 23:48Northlands to conquer it. They thought the cold weather
- 23:50and limited daylight would make for a perfect vampire territory.
- 23:54The army led by vampires mainly included sycophants from various
- 23:58races who wanted eternal life by becoming vampires.
- 24:01So it's agreed to fight for the Brood to achieve this.
- 24:04That includes humans, elves, all sorts of other races we know.
- 24:08The expedition, however, was far more difficult than they could
- 24:10ever have imagined. At almost every step they had
- 24:13either fierce resistance from northern tribes of humans and
- 24:16other races, or had brutal encounters with previous
- 24:19fearsome with fearsome, previously unknown races like
- 24:23the Yeti and Fenrikin. After months of fighting, the
- 24:27vampire army had subdued the great creatures like Fenrikin
- 24:29and Yeti and felt they're on the verge of victory with just a
- 24:32small settlement called Vikonfell left to conquer.
- 24:36However, when they made it through the mountains and stood
- 24:38before Vikonfell, they saw not a small settlement, but a small
- 24:41city. The ensuing battle was
- 24:43ferocious, with the rugged citizens of Vikonfell willing to
- 24:47fight to the last person, and also having recruited a band of
- 24:50giants to help them Across the course of the battle, the brood
- 24:54army lost a vampire commander after commander, until the final
- 24:58vampire fell. Seeing their masters all perish,
- 25:00the army broke and fled the battlefield, disappearing never
- 25:04to be seen again. So that's the historic bit of
- 25:08it. Now we jump back to more modern
- 25:10times. Igrain and her party returned to
- 25:13the Castle of Four Sides and related what relayed what had
- 25:16happened. Pretty autocorrect.
- 25:18No one had ever heard of a Northern Ocean or a ship like
- 25:21the one they described. General Delfina suggested they
- 25:24talk to one of the Fishermen Guild members currently in
- 25:27Mythos. The Guild members, one by one,
- 25:30said they did not recognise the ship.
- 25:32But finally an old fisherman stepped forward and said he had
- 25:35once seen a ship like that. It belonged to a group called
- 25:39the Lost Brood. These pirates and slavers are
- 25:43rumoured to live on islands in the far Northern Ocean.
- 25:46He spoke of their blood red sails and how they worship blood
- 25:49gods. They are feared by all the races
- 25:51in that part of the wider mythos, he said.
- 25:54They had blood priests that conjured portals to help them
- 25:57move cities full of slaves to their islands.
- 26:00The old fisherman and a crew from Mythos sail off to try and
- 26:03find these slavers and see what the what?
- 26:05Threat they actually. Posed to Mythos and the
- 26:08Northlands. While on their journey they
- 26:11encounter a Lost Brood raiding party and help the locals fight
- 26:15it off. So that's set in the scene.
- 26:19It's quite a lot of stuff to set the scene, but this is wrong.
- 26:21So basically the, you know, the vampire sigil is there because
- 26:24it's vampire worshippers that went off by themselves out of
- 26:28mythos. Right.
- 26:31And is it so you're that first bit of law was even before the
- 26:37Iron Smile wave then? Oh yeah, that first bit of law
- 26:40was like a couple of 1000 years ago probably.
- 26:43So you can sometimes not get your own laptop working, but you
- 26:46seem to have nixed Jeremy Gerard's laptop.
- 26:50I mean, he screams regularly. Why can't you use his laptop to
- 26:53connect to the stream Yard here? A few times his isn't been
- 26:56working very well either. Maybe he is.
- 26:59He isn't it there. Yeah, right.
- 27:02OK then, now let's look at the characters.
- 27:04OK. Broken John already.
- 27:07Can you hear it in his voice? Yeah.
- 27:09Really half an hour in OK, so the and a lot of these
- 27:13characters are like been slightly flight of fancy by me.
- 27:15I'm not necessarily thinking we're going to get them
- 27:17necessarily, but it could be versions of this.
- 27:20It worked for you last year, so do.
- 27:21You know what I mean? I really am like a new one, but
- 27:25a horseman. Yeah.
- 27:28So the old fisherman, ideally for me, he would be a puffer
- 27:31Fishman. So a really spiky face could
- 27:36like have a really fat torso as if he's puffing up as well, that
- 27:38sort of thing. So cool Jeremy, who's my wish
- 27:41list? Eric, here's my wish list.
- 27:46Then the ship, the ship from Ethos has a human captain, but
- 27:50it is a military vessel. So it's, it's you know, it's not
- 27:53like a trading vessel, it's proper military vessel.
- 27:56So the captain has armour because it's a military vessel.
- 27:59But the leather boots, the soft goods cloak or a coat or
- 28:03something like that. Not not like a pirate as we not
- 28:06like a pirate, but that sort of look as we know it, but that
- 28:09sort of armoured sort of thing. And then and this is the thing
- 28:13that probably what. Sorry to interrupt and I've only
- 28:15just thought this about poor old Delfina.
- 28:17If that ship ever has an accident and she goes overboard,
- 28:21she's done for in that armour. Oh, she seems like a stone.
- 28:25Yeah, there's no She's brave. Yeah, and this is a coup de
- 28:31grace for my human captain. He has a conquistador style
- 28:36goatee, so, you know, with a big moustache coming out, pointy
- 28:40little beard. I'm looking for that with and
- 28:44without helmet. OK, John is looking stunned for
- 28:51those that just listened on the audio.
- 28:55So those are two of the goodies. And then the third and final
- 28:58good guy in the wave would be an elven warrior.
- 29:02The flock, for some mysterious reason, wanted to be part of the
- 29:05mission. They didn't say who, but yeah,
- 29:08we'll find out later. It'd be 1.0 build because I
- 29:11really like the idea of being a bit of a badass real like rough
- 29:14warrior type elf. I mean, I know they're doing the
- 29:17thief thing with the game, but this is just a bit more, you
- 29:21know, loads of lot, loads of knives, loads of swords.
- 29:23Like real. So he's gone for a flock figure,
- 29:27but you haven't gone anthropomorphic.
- 29:28I mean, come on. I haven't, no.
- 29:32There's there's time in the G Conway for anthropomorphic
- 29:34stuff, don't worry. OK, so there's the goodies.
- 29:37So now we go into the the the lost brood bad guys.
- 29:41So starts off with a blood elf captain of a ship and it was the
- 29:46same ship that was seen sailing away and now he's raiding a
- 29:48settlement. 1.01 point 0 build 1 was your big guy dark grey skin
- 29:54colour to make him stand out from the other elves.
- 29:57I mean it could be a light purple as well potentially, but
- 29:59like a dark grey sort of skin colour, like really properly
- 30:03twisted features as if it's like, you know, he's he's
- 30:06ancient. He might have been with the
- 30:07vampires when they first went N sort of thing.
- 30:09And he's like craggered and twisted features.
- 30:13Red armour sends the sort of blood elf element to it and then
- 30:18big big cloak of some sort. Then we have a blood elf
- 30:23Corsair. This would be a female 2.0
- 30:26build, black and red armour, just to mix the armour colours
- 30:29up a little bit. And who loves doesn't have black
- 30:30and red. I want a fancy new sword,
- 30:33curved, but we'd like jagged edges to it as well, so like a
- 30:36curve and then goes out a little bit.
- 30:38Yeah. I want a big flowing cloak, you
- 30:42know, sort of thing. She can just swish over her
- 30:43shoulder as she slices somebody up and thinking of parts they
- 30:49already have. I want a cage.
- 30:51It's like the bird cage where she carries around a decapitated
- 30:54head from their last raid as like a warning to other people.
- 30:59I mean, yeah. We've kind of got that with the
- 31:01is it Cherelle or Cherelle? She's yeah.
- 31:03So yeah. It's it's still in the idea.
- 31:05It's a good idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 31:07absolutely. OK, And then the last three bad
- 31:10guys, we have a rat soldier as part of them.
- 31:14I didn't even think about that bad shaft.
- 31:17So you know the a rat rather than a mouse?
- 31:19I mean I know the heads on the mouse look quite rattish anyway
- 31:21sort of thing. But use the mouse king buck
- 31:24obviously with your hands and the really scary looking feet.
- 31:27Would make a good member of the Undertow crew.
- 31:30He would. This is true, Mel.
- 31:31Yeah. I want a new I want a new evil
- 31:34rat head as well, like a proper evil snarly sort of head.
- 31:39Maybe you can use a shouting mouse head as like an alternate
- 31:42head as well, but like a Snarly 1 and they're like brown in
- 31:45colour. That would work for me.
- 31:48We then have a harpy, so a mysterious creature from, you
- 31:53know, the Northlands as it were, that have joined this lost brood
- 31:572.0 build. My second 2.0 build of the the
- 32:00wave. I want a screaming head, like
- 32:03proper screaming hair going all over the place.
- 32:06That's sort of look I want. I want scaled body part.
- 32:10I want this is basically what I want, isn't it?
- 32:12Rather than what I think scale. Yeah, but also like smooth ones
- 32:16as well. I think, you know, you could do
- 32:18harpy. You never know.
- 32:20Long fingered hands and some like demon like wings on the
- 32:23back. Did you say demon wings?
- 32:28Not say demon. Wanks.
- 32:29But you know, there's a couple, Jeremy, so we can count them up.
- 32:32So did he say demon wings or demon wings?
- 32:37Up to you to decide. And then lastly, and I think
- 32:40what my thinking with this and the G Conway, because I want to
- 32:43pull in more fantasy sort of tropes now that we've started
- 32:45expanding it, let's do more stuff.
- 32:46So I wanted an elemental in but I want a blood magic elemental.
- 32:54We already have blood. Was a blood vampire in this
- 32:57wave? Yeah, but this is like working
- 32:59with them. So it's a blood magic elemental.
- 33:02OK, OK, I. Mean you could use the the the
- 33:07genie kind of elements we've got could use some of them on it
- 33:11and. Absolutely.
- 33:14I want lots of translucent part miles.
- 33:15You'd be Mal. You'd be glad to know.
- 33:17So I want translucent red hands so that he's like conjuring
- 33:20stuff up on the hands. A change in I want the head to
- 33:25two different heads. One almost looks like I was
- 33:27watching Clash of the Titans the the modern version the other day
- 33:30with that genie that looked like a wooden sort of face.
- 33:33I love that look. So like the elemental normal
- 33:36look would be that sort of thing.
- 33:37But then a translucent red version of the same sculpt that
- 33:41would be awesome on a cloak, but with lots of like thin pieces of
- 33:47material sort of thing rather than one big cloak.
- 33:49So you could do all sorts of cool poses and that with.
- 33:51It a bit like is it Mr Sinister as yes.
- 33:57Yeah, yeah, and some new magic effects.
- 33:59There you go. That.
- 34:01'D be cool more. So I think, I think, I think
- 34:03that could work as a storyline and why the vampire thing is
- 34:06there. I mean, I'm not necessarily
- 34:08saying we're going down the blood Elf route, but.
- 34:12Rich Rich now trying to convince Jeremy and Eric to do the story
- 34:17ideas he wants. You're like, you're like the,
- 34:20you're like the toy company equivalent.
- 34:22If you worked for, you're like the equivalent of, you know,
- 34:25that guy in the office, the sales guy who goes out and
- 34:27promises the client, the sun, the moon, the stars, everything.
- 34:31And then there's me and my back in the office.
- 34:33We do all the programming, we do all the, we do all the back
- 34:37office stuff. We do all the production, we
- 34:40manage all that stuff. And you're now telling us and
- 34:44we're like, uh. You think that?
- 34:48If you think that's bad, wait till I get to the G Conway.
- 34:50We're not money on the new tooling required.
- 34:53So are you done with? The media prediction here.
- 34:56Yeah, the media. Pray for future John.
- 35:00Trying to basically get the details out of that.
- 35:04And yeah, right, here's my prediction for the mid year
- 35:08wave. Here's what I said.
- 35:11I'll quote myself. It's going to be very short.
- 35:15Meteor Wave will deal with the meeting of the Iron Smell Party
- 35:18and the Golden Gill so. OK, you're the other way, yeah.
- 35:24And then I also said time for more flock and brood figures
- 35:30this year. The last flock figure we got was
- 35:33Kai Pasha. And OK, we got Frost Ogre, who's
- 35:37in the brood from last year, but he's not very.
- 35:40Brood. He's not classically brewed.
- 35:42You know, so and very few figures in those factions since
- 35:48their versus wave. So I've kept it generic.
- 35:52I'm most likely to be right if you guys are right for sure.
- 35:55So I can I can sing and dance about this.
- 35:59You're going to get a lot of stuff wrong with your
- 36:01prediction. They're rich.
- 36:02You're going to, you know I can. Or I'm going to nail it and then
- 36:07you guys will be like. Yeah, I can really.
- 36:10I can really screw you over by leaving out like the 2 little
- 36:13obscure things that you got right among all the wrong just.
- 36:18Wrong after right me. OK.
- 36:20But I think we're, I think we're all on the same, eh, we're all
- 36:24in the same train there. It looks like that's set up to
- 36:28be some sort of media wave, the meeting between these two
- 36:33things, and we all recognise that the Flock and the Brood
- 36:39probably need a couple more characters and that might happen
- 36:42that way. Now if we get Flock and Brood
- 36:46characters another way, I'm taken as a victory lap as well.
- 36:49Yeah, Yeah. Well, yeah, we'll get there when
- 36:53I talk about my end of year wave, OK.
- 36:55Well, it's over to you. Next year you drive the the.
- 36:59Oh, it's that you do. You haven't even tried.
- 37:04I. Am the I am the editors last
- 37:08producer of this show. I did not want to script myself
- 37:1025 minutes of story for every point to make.
- 37:14When he's edited it together, it will sound like our predictions
- 37:17are his, but with weird he'll be like, I'm just going to do an
- 37:19impression of right anyway, So G Con wave, there's obviously a
- 37:28lot of we have to dig into and try and work out what Jeremy
- 37:32meant with there being room at the table for everyone.
- 37:36We think it was, wasn't it? He said in the shooting the
- 37:42shelf at the end of Legions Con. So I think they're going to take
- 37:47the opportunity in next year's G Con to revisit new Mythos so
- 37:52that we don't completely go away from that and there's an
- 37:55opportunity to keep introducing the old style characters and
- 38:01that people have fallen in love with.
- 38:04And I think it's going to be the meeting that happened between
- 38:09the Golden Gear. Was it the Golden Guild?
- 38:11No, that landed first a new mythos.
- 38:17The ship with Koi. Yeah, the original.
- 38:19That's Golden Gill. Yeah, yeah.
- 38:21So, so the original, yeah. So the Golden Gill, I think it's
- 38:24going to be the meeting between the Golden Gill crew that had
- 38:26survived and the sort of, you know, the the different.
- 38:33What would you call them? Faction.
- 38:35Adversaries of the factions. So, so we'll get.
- 38:40So I think they'll take the opportunity to introduce a
- 38:42couple more version twos. I've actually gone on to
- 38:46legacies next so but I wonder if we might see a Legion 2 version
- 38:522 of on steel Hyde. Maybe because he needs a bit of
- 38:56a refresh or a lot of people seem to want him to have a
- 38:58refresh. And I think now we've got the
- 38:59lighter Dwarf armour, it would suit him better are.
- 39:03You still on the G con wave ML or have you lurched off onto
- 39:06legacies? No, no, this is G They're kind
- 39:08of a little bit of overlap, but this is what I think might be in
- 39:11the G con wave, because I definitely think we get a dwarf
- 39:16character as well, because that's another one we haven't
- 39:19really we've we get OK, we're getting the set with what's
- 39:24coming in next few months. But if you think about it, we'll
- 39:27that was a pre-order from nearly two years ago and we've not had
- 39:30any more dwarfs or any more little people other than Imps
- 39:34since then. And goblins.
- 39:37We had the Goblin pack, but that was quite sooner and Glios and I
- 39:45I actually think it might include some of those that were
- 39:48traditionally the bad guys of put in quotes who are now more,
- 39:54you know, there's a bit of an easy truce in places.
- 39:58So we might get some members of the Red Star again.
- 40:01Do I mean the Red Star after? Yeah, Yeah, I do don't know.
- 40:05Gap Pillars crew. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 40:08So that's red * Yeah, that's it. So.
- 40:11Yeah, use word house in their name.
- 40:13Shame on you. We might get some some more of
- 40:16them. Yeah, I think you know, I
- 40:20haven't that the mainly I think yeah or on Steelhead 2 point O
- 40:27is the only thing that really because I wondered about
- 40:29legacies, but actually might fit better in a wave rather than as
- 40:33a legacy character. So that's that's my only bit of
- 40:38thinking. It's a bit OK wishy washy but.
- 40:41That's good, I like it. It's more like my predictions.
- 40:45Rich, I'll be reading through my G company again.
- 40:49Yeah, read through my G company again.
- 40:50I'm thinking like this really is a wish list for me rather than
- 40:53I'm going to. I'm going to go for them all
- 40:54anyway, and if I get through four of them, then I'm going to
- 40:56claim glory and I'll be very happy.
- 40:58I know. So I think the table reference
- 41:01is when they actually land in the other and the next continent
- 41:05and there's a huge giant table and they all meet around that,
- 41:10the people from the ship, from Ether Ross and the new people.
- 41:18I see what you're saying. It's not a, but yeah, yeah,
- 41:21absolutely could be. You're right.
- 41:23I didn't mean mention beta sex. I'm hoping he falls overboard
- 41:26and doesn't make it, but that's just my dislike for scantily
- 41:30clad people. So OK, so I've gone for lots of
- 41:39new stuff. It probably won't be like that.
- 41:42They'll probably throw a a human on the other continent in like
- 41:46they do they've been and that sort of stuff and that.
- 41:48And if they do a good job as they did with they've been,
- 41:50that's fine. But I've stayed away from that.
- 41:53See how those face plates make people excited?
- 41:56You know this is how it goes. So the only character I'm going
- 42:03to use from the ship that was sailing over there?
- 42:06No, he's not from the ship that's sailing over there.
- 42:09Ignore that. The only character I'll use from
- 42:11what's now New Mythos. So the old continent is a
- 42:14version 2 of Sigalera. Ideally enough, that was when I
- 42:20toyed with. I've actually not included him,
- 42:23but I did toy with putting him as one of the couple of version
- 42:26twos from IG Con Wave as well. The Knights do so well, I think
- 42:30they're going to try and get another knight in and you know,
- 42:31I was thinking on another Templar and it's like, yeah,
- 42:33we've had a lot of Templars recently.
- 42:35I'm not sure they can get another one in again.
- 42:38So it's a Galleron, full helmet and visible face options, a new
- 42:44shield boss of some sort. You know, they're doing really
- 42:48well with their shield bosses, so let's let's get a new one of
- 42:50those. And obviously he's got the
- 42:52slightly different armour colour, hasn't he?
- 42:53So, you know, you could make it a bit more purpley again, like
- 42:56some of the pictures look and that sort of thing if you wanted
- 42:59to. And he's not alone.
- 43:02So he left after Delfina to warn.
- 43:05Basically, his idea was to warn Delfina about this new threat
- 43:08from the north, the lost brood, some Thai men, and he flew over
- 43:13on a gryphon. So I'm predicting A gryphon as a
- 43:16mount. Now I said this for last year
- 43:18and got it wrong, but I'm sticking with it because it's a
- 43:20great idea. I I, yeah, again, I wouldn't.
- 43:23That actually good idea, I think, yeah.
- 43:26So he flew around a gryphon. So there's him.
- 43:27That's him in the mount. So that's the big mount thing
- 43:30out of the way. So then the people we meet over
- 43:33there, guess what the first one's going to be?
- 43:37A shark man. A shark man Chieftain.
- 43:41Oh, Chieftain, OK. Chieftain.
- 43:42Yeah. So like, you know, not.
- 43:44One with the satellite dish on his head, no.
- 43:47No, although people can buy that sculpt.
- 43:50Promise. And he'd make a very good guard
- 43:53or something to go with it, but no very quickly pin on the back
- 43:57of the head. I think it always works really
- 43:59well with the shark head. Hands and feet are modified
- 44:02fins. I want a tail and a snarling
- 44:06head and an armoured head. So if you have a shark, you want
- 44:09him like properly, like he's angry, you know, he's not been
- 44:14taught, you know, consulted on these newbies that just turn up.
- 44:16So he's not happy. Then I think we need a
- 44:19fisherman's Guild, either an ambassador or sort of the
- 44:22leadership of the fisherman's Guild there.
- 44:24It'll probably be a fish person. I think that's a really good
- 44:27chance for that. I think it'd be probably a fish
- 44:29person. But in an ideal world he would
- 44:31be a cephalopod. So back to my normal obsession
- 44:36with tentacled hands and feet. I'd want 2 heads, 1 peaceful
- 44:40serene looking guy, and one where someone's like stood on
- 44:43his tentacle at the table and he stood up and he's roaring and
- 44:46his mouth's open and the tentacles on his face are going
- 44:48in all directions and he's angry.
- 44:52And I think a really cool little extra piece would be like a
- 44:55black plastic piece as if he's spitting ink at somebody, like a
- 44:57defence mechanism. So that's him.
- 45:02I think we'd also have somebody from the seafarers there.
- 45:05I mean, I know the Captain Iron Skull and that are real baddies.
- 45:08But you know, I think generally the seafarers interact with the
- 45:12other groups. I think as again, this has cost
- 45:17a fortune and all this sculpting and tooling.
- 45:19But as the big crab went down so well, I'm thinking a 1.0 scale
- 45:23crustacean. Could be a crab.
- 45:25Could be a lobster type guy. Segmented arms and legs and
- 45:29extra limbs. Yes, an extra limbs coming out
- 45:32the back. Maybe a crab claw as a weapon?
- 45:38Like a skeleton using a bone arm as a weapon.
- 45:41Yeah, the next character sort of jumps ahead to my Infinite
- 45:46Legions prediction, but it's it's like a turtle or a Kappa
- 45:52character. I have a feeling we'll have the
- 45:54turtle character from the Dark Order as part of the Infinite
- 45:58things. So you could reuse that book,
- 46:00save some tooling money there would have new hands and feet
- 46:05which you could reuse on the character.
- 46:06I'm going to come to in a minute and I want it.
- 46:11I don't know, for some reason in my head, a turtle character
- 46:13would have a soft, even if it's made of solid plastic, a soft
- 46:16good style hat. So it wouldn't be like an
- 46:19armoured hat is like, no, no, I'm chilled.
- 46:21You know, I'm an ambassador here.
- 46:23I'm just going to have a soft good style hat.
- 46:26Then I want the imp scale back in.
- 46:28I love the imp scale. I want more of these and I want
- 46:31a little fairy. So female fairy in scale Buck 2
- 46:39heads. So one's like lovely and nice
- 46:41and happy go lucky fairy and one you've pissed her off and you're
- 46:44in trouble now and she's looking a bit angry.
- 46:47Little wings, little see through wings and a blow dart weapon
- 46:51would be a good one I think for. Those won't break it all.
- 46:55Not at all. No.
- 46:57Again, I've thought this through, John, Don't worry.
- 47:04As I said, if I get two or three of these, I'll be over the moon.
- 47:07I'm just going to play a business implementation manager
- 47:10here, which is. Next up is one of the
- 47:14ambassadors around the table. We have a rock man, Brute or
- 47:20Ogre scale, probably brute scale.
- 47:23We want rock texture, upper arms and legs.
- 47:25It can be armoured down below that, but you know, there's some
- 47:28different texture, almost like the thing but without being the
- 47:31thing. Bare hands and feet ideally, and
- 47:35you could probably use the turtle ones, use paints in the
- 47:38same colour as the rock texture stuff thing that work two
- 47:43different heads. I'd want to different heads.
- 47:45You have different types of rock people.
- 47:47So you can have one with like a not the thing, but that sort of
- 47:50patterning and then you have another one with just big slabs
- 47:53of rock or something like that to give you some, some options
- 47:56there. Lizard man, obviously I'm going
- 48:00to say that every time until we get some.
- 48:02I've been through it loads of times.
- 48:03Meso, American style armour ideally and ideally blue,
- 48:08definitely not green. I don't want a green lizard man.
- 48:10We've got green snakes, etcetera.
- 48:11This is the predictions episode Rich.
- 48:14Well, some of these might come true, so this is what I'm going
- 48:16for. As Mal said, it's really
- 48:17difficult. Now if, if we were doing the old
- 48:19mythos, the predictions were, you know, you could really net
- 48:23dial them in. Whereas this it's a bit like I
- 48:25don't know. Absolutely.
- 48:27And then lastly for me and Anthony House Seal, a fungi
- 48:30person. So I want a toadstool, toadstool
- 48:35type head. I want a second head but with
- 48:38little fungal growths at the top of it like you see with the
- 48:42toadstools and that sort of stuff.
- 48:44So when when you were like that was going back and forth in our
- 48:47chat with Anthony made me work, what would you think if that was
- 48:52an imp scale character, would that work for you?
- 48:54I would I take any sort of thing, I mean, in my head it'd
- 48:57be a dwarf scale sort of build, right in scale would work
- 49:00absolutely fine with that as well.
- 49:01I'd be quite happy. And then maybe you could use
- 49:03this Thoraxian scout armour for that sort of wood effect type of
- 49:07with a fungi creature. Cool, there we go.
- 49:10That's my predictions. Yeah.
- 49:15I I predict they're not going to do 2G cons in a row.
- 49:19Fish people, right? I only said one fish person.
- 49:24Yeah, but it it you didn't need a well cephalopod or gonna
- 49:28cephalopod. Person.
- 49:29Shark creation person. I could see us getting a
- 49:33cephalopod this year. Yeah, but not in the G Conway.
- 49:36How and maybe not the G Conway maybe more in the mid year wave
- 49:40like. Well, I think it gives.
- 49:41You've talked about. It gives you some continuity
- 49:43though, from the dawns of discovery, you know, but.
- 49:46Doesn't move anything on either though it.
- 49:48Does because you've got one of those, maybe two of those, and
- 49:51then you all these other types of creatures.
- 49:54This is why the other types of races would be good.
- 49:57Yes it does. They said, Jeremy, it does.
- 50:03I promise the meteor. Discussed Jeremy.
- 50:07Don't worry. The meteor wave that you've
- 50:11talked that we've talked about first moves things on more
- 50:15because you have Flock characters, you get brewed
- 50:17characters. You know, this is just like,
- 50:21it's like All Star Six with Necronominus, and I don't think
- 50:25they're going to do that again. You know, clever clogs.
- 50:28What have you got? Without getting offensive, what
- 50:34have you got? Yeah, it's, it's very, it is
- 50:36very, eh, like in saying that I, I am only eh, criticising you
- 50:40for the sake of the podcast because it's fun.
- 50:42As I said, if I get 2, three of those right, I'll be quite
- 50:46happy. And at the same time, it is much
- 50:48easier to just say what we're not going to get than what we
- 50:51are going to get. So, so I, I think that has to be
- 50:54appreciated, eh? So there's room for everyone at
- 50:58our table. I think that's hinting at a
- 51:00diversity of characters. So I had said a long time ago
- 51:05that that I, you know, one of a dream way for me would be like 1
- 51:10character from every faction for example, you know?
- 51:12Which is kind. Of a thing.
- 51:14Was trying to go with what I. So that's what I think it's
- 51:17going to mean something like that, more like that.
- 51:19So maybe like a Fellowship of the Ring type of thing or a
- 51:24Covenant of Shadow 2 type of thing where where some meeting,
- 51:28I like Mal's idea of the, you know, we're going to maybe see
- 51:31the meeting to maybe not the meeting with like Coy and all
- 51:37those guys. You know, there are the people
- 51:38from the Golden Guild ship. But maybe the meeting after that
- 51:41event has happened and it's like, OK, they've sailed or no,
- 51:46no Feeders and Delphine have gone, they've sailed off and
- 51:49then it's back together. What do we do now, guys?
- 51:51You know, we can't just let those two too often their own,
- 51:55you know, maybe we have to have another plan.
- 51:57And and maybe that's how they get tangled up in maybe this
- 52:04incident that happens in the seas with the iron smile and
- 52:07that all kind of links together possibly is.
- 52:11There a chance if you did that though, that in theory you'd
- 52:14have to have all good characters because obviously the good
- 52:17factions won the war. Well, that's after that.
- 52:22I think there's got to be uneasy alliances in there somewhere
- 52:25because you can't just, they can't have just completely wiped
- 52:27out all of the evil in the realm.
- 52:30So it's either in hiding or some of them made uneasy alliances.
- 52:34And I think that way you get you can have some of the evil
- 52:38characters in amongst you good characters.
- 52:42Yeah, that is. That is definitely a problem
- 52:44with it, but room for everyone at the table means that.
- 52:48Yeah, good and bad. Yeah.
- 52:50I mean you could have maybe an orc if the orcs did revolt
- 52:52against Ara theory as part of that, so.
- 52:54There are things like that on there in the story that some
- 52:58could. You know, if you if you have a
- 53:01world that's under threat, you may be there's some sort of
- 53:05perceived threat, then it's in everyone's interest, good or
- 53:08bad, to maybe come together for a bigger idea.
- 53:14And then afterwards we can get back to scrap in between
- 53:16ourselves, and then there's all the tension in between that.
- 53:20So there you go, actually. Oh, you sabotage in my
- 53:25prediction. I love it.
- 53:27Maybe no, no, it's a kind of similar, but maybe the meeting
- 53:31you're is is actually well, hang on this huge dragon suddenly
- 53:35appeared. This is a bit scary.
- 53:36So maybe that's the meeting. And again, everyone in the, you
- 53:40know, in new mythos would be welcome at that.
- 53:43And that would be after they've set sail as well.
- 53:46So, you know, yeah. Well, that's quite a delay
- 53:49between anything I'd say with that.
- 53:51I like the idea now, but there's a delay, Jeremy said.
- 53:55From the the Golden Gill landing to the dawns of discovery,
- 53:59there's months. Like months and months and
- 54:00months in between. So it would be.
- 54:02So it would have to time with that somehow.
- 54:04So you could have like a fairly quick meeting.
- 54:06You have to go, well, we've been thinking about this dragon for
- 54:098-9 months now. We're going to have a meeting
- 54:10about. It well it might be between that
- 54:12time. Maybe they can have a Teams
- 54:13meeting or a Zoom meeting. Maybe they can send a carrier
- 54:18pigeons. Maybe there'll be like a pack of
- 54:19carrier pigeons with little notes that you can you can do
- 54:22your own sort of things. That's true.
- 54:24It could take weeks to travel across Mythos to the meeting so.
- 54:32So. You could have them on the way
- 54:34to the meeting by some nasty things that are still in mythos.
- 54:39So I still I still think we're more likely to get ether on and
- 54:43Zylona in legacies, But I think this is this is another way we
- 54:48could get them is in the G con wave as part of this meeting of,
- 54:54you know, all the factions, so to speak, or some sort of uneasy
- 55:00collaboration between all the factions.
- 55:03So we get a you know, so when we're saying diverse here, I
- 55:06mean different factions, you know, they don't necessarily
- 55:09have to be, you know, Fishman, barbarian and ice.
- 55:13You know, it's not that sort of thing.
- 55:16So that's kind of the general idea for the G Conway for me.
- 55:22Other other very literal reading of it is maybe we're just
- 55:27getting a large Tavern diorama with a bunch of different
- 55:33characters and it's the story is just going to be of a session in
- 55:37the pub if. That's what we get, John.
- 55:40Have the camera on me again because it won't be the happy
- 55:42face that I have. Right, let's move on then.
- 55:49Do you, do you have any? Are you going on to Legacies
- 55:53now, Mallard? Probably, yeah, because it
- 55:55follows on from mythics, doesn't it?
- 55:57A bit, umm, I think we we. I also have some.
- 56:00Yeah. Eh, kind of random mythics, ones
- 56:05that aren't eh legacies. Oh, go for it.
- 56:09So I think I have. Or do you have a prediction for
- 56:12the touring figure? Oh yes, yes, that's a good
- 56:16shaft. Umm, yeah.
- 56:19So I think the touring figure is either one of two things.
- 56:27I think you get to choose one. OK Female 1.0 barbarian.
- 56:32OK, so that's exactly, that's exactly my prediction as well.
- 56:35So we're all three for female tour, I think 1.0.
- 56:38Very similar to the legendary barbarian, with different hair
- 56:43colours to reflect different. I would imagine a.
- 56:45Red hair, the red Sonya and that sort of stuff.
- 56:48And this the blonde lady using Conan and.
- 56:51And and now for entertainment purposes.
- 56:54What was your other choice that doesn't count as your
- 56:57prediction? Female valiant night.
- 57:01Yeah, because no, that's not that's based.
- 57:04On the whole, I've said a name once already and I've got what
- 57:10he was, you know, Vina can't Delfina kind of like they did
- 57:14through low. Look what the Knights are going
- 57:16to be like. He's a Valiant knight to, you
- 57:19know, in a similar way they've done that.
- 57:21I could see them doing a female Valiant Knight to oh look at
- 57:25what the arm is like and get everyone excited.
- 57:27So. Yeah, yeah, it's definitely a
- 57:30possibility. But I, I, I don't think, I don't
- 57:34think. Maybe I just don't want to.
- 57:36I don't know. To be honest.
- 57:39So you know what so rich? What would you like it to be?
- 57:45Oh see, I'm so clue zoomed in on it being a female Barbara, I
- 57:49didn't really give any other thought.
- 57:51OK, another ninion of some variety.
- 57:54OK, that'd be cool. OK.
- 57:58Right, let's move on then to legacies of.
- 58:01Right. So I think we get 4 this year
- 58:05again and I think I think xylone or ether on will be in legacies
- 58:12OK. I also think we get Malachi
- 58:16cinder horn and I actually wonder if we'll just get a redo
- 58:22of Ravenna. I know she doesn't necessarily
- 58:26fit, but she it. I'm thinking that verse.
- 58:30Is I know Kevin Boots will be happy and then that would make
- 58:33me happy and Rich being unreasonably upset.
- 58:37So that would be like the mother lode there.
- 58:38That would be a. Great do not make you a great
- 58:40week. You to say that force and a
- 58:42pandering to me. If we get a female barbarian,
- 58:45maybe the version 2 Ravenna, they're rebelling.
- 58:47They're not landing to me at all.
- 58:49You need to balance out the force, you know?
- 58:51Yeah. But I was just thinking in terms
- 58:54of that, you know, versus so if we get in Malachi Syndhorn, we
- 58:57need and there are the male elves in or, you know, the elves
- 59:02in, but I don't think they'd do that because they'd be too
- 59:04similar. But yeah, and I just, I don't
- 59:08know, I just get this feeling we're going to get version 2 of
- 59:11Malachi at some point. Not a bad shout at all.
- 59:16Yeah, Rich, what have you got for legacies?
- 59:19So I think, I think we might get 6 figures this year.
- 59:23Umm, they're going to redo all the fishermen that they hadn't.
- 59:27They'd like to be 6 this year, Prince.
- 59:30So Galleron takes off his helmet, and he's a.
- 59:32Fish. That would be amazing.
- 59:41You're so easily pleased. Really.
- 59:44I mean, you're easily, you're easily disappointed as well, but
- 59:48you're so easily pleased. Yeah, I'd often go I'm like no
- 59:52brilliant element. OK.
- 59:56So I think they'll stick with the faction versus faction sort
- 59:58of thing as they did this year. So if if they decide to go block
- 1:00:05versus brood, I think for the flock we'll either get a stereo
- 1:00:11on in a brute scale, so more heft to the mine at all, or we'd
- 1:00:17get on steel hide. I think he's a right for
- 1:00:21reading, as Miles said, you know, give him slightly longer
- 1:00:23limbs, less armour, an unhelmeted head, all that sort
- 1:00:27of stuff. And then from the brood side,
- 1:00:29it's got to be cup atheists because that's the worst vampire
- 1:00:32figure they put. That's a good shot, actually,
- 1:00:35yeah. So yeah, better armour, a new
- 1:00:37head sculpt again, back to the long creepy fingers that I
- 1:00:40described earlier for Harpy. Yeah, so he'd be a good shot.
- 1:00:46Another option for faction versus faction.
- 1:00:50Balaam for convocation and do a new head.
- 1:00:56Not that head again. New head flocked as well with
- 1:01:03the bare arms option. Even I didn't predict that,
- 1:01:05Yeah. And then for the for the circle
- 1:01:08Epoxus to be against him as it were Zarya.
- 1:01:13So I think more of a scaled look to the the the the top flesh
- 1:01:16rather than the smooth sort of look.
- 1:01:19Change the head up a little bit so it's less obviously like Azar
- 1:01:22and Azar meaning it's a female version of that at the moment.
- 1:01:25Let's change that up a little bit.
- 1:01:28And then some sort of like wicked evil looking weapon of
- 1:01:31some sort as well. And then the other two, I think
- 1:01:35we'll get a Xylone and ether on, but they can't put them out too
- 1:01:40far before the reign of the beasts.
- 1:01:42So they can't do them like mid year this year and then you have
- 1:01:45to wait end of the year, 15 months.
- 1:01:48Whatever it is. For the Lee, Odysseus and any
- 1:01:53other lady you've forgotten. The Basilian.
- 1:01:56Basilian Thank you. Yes.
- 1:01:59So then I was thinking, well, maybe they could do them at
- 1:02:00Legions Con. And I was like, but if you do
- 1:02:02them at Legions Con, there's going to be, there's going to be
- 1:02:05like exclusive bits, even if it should one exclusive bit and
- 1:02:08people may lose their minds. For those a big.
- 1:02:11Character like that happened in an exclusive bit that they can't
- 1:02:13get sort of thing. Yeah, I agree.
- 1:02:17So that's why I think those two might actually carry on into the
- 1:02:20start of next year. Yeah.
- 1:02:23And we'll have the other 4. What?
- 1:02:25What would you think about just exclusive packaging for
- 1:02:29allegiance? Khan being the exclusive bit of
- 1:02:31it for a character like that. I don't think they'd do that
- 1:02:35even I think. No, I don't think people would
- 1:02:37go for that. It's just like, well.
- 1:02:39No, but they go for it just because they want to get the
- 1:02:41figure. I think really, I guess.
- 1:02:44Yeah, they wouldn't be an element of an exclusive
- 1:02:46exclusivity to it. I might do.
- 1:02:50You might be right, yeah. You know, it'll hit those guys
- 1:02:52and then the rest of us won't care.
- 1:02:54But we don't care anyway. Really.
- 1:02:56Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:02:58And and it's kind of it's not going to really annoy people too
- 1:03:02much. I mean, there is inbox people,
- 1:03:06but not as many in this line, I don't think, right.
- 1:03:09And my legacies, I can't can't. I was looking at them and I was
- 1:03:15like, I can't believe they haven't said these.
- 1:03:18Ford, aren't you? I think he'll be a version too
- 1:03:24and like a later on version of Ford.
- 1:03:27Versus Malleus. So in the in the kind of versus.
- 1:03:31I definitely think we need. We 100% need a new Malleus, but
- 1:03:36we had Scaphoid last time so I think they'd avoid that faction
- 1:03:40this year. Possibly here do.
- 1:03:42You think? I think so because he was on my
- 1:03:44list of like Poss possibilities, but I think just because we've
- 1:03:47had just had a congregation of neck anonymous figure, I think
- 1:03:50they probably try and get the other factions in first forward.
- 1:03:55We're definitely going to get again, but I think it might be
- 1:03:57like a proper V2 probably in the G con wave and we none of us are
- 1:04:01predicting it, but like you know, an older, more backward
- 1:04:06board sort of thing rather than just a reworking of the one.
- 1:04:10That's not a bad shout because the dwarfs feel like they are
- 1:04:13ones. You could give a story behind
- 1:04:17them coming back better, the great, the good side of the
- 1:04:20grave, a mountain and all that, couldn't you?
- 1:04:22But. Yeah, I mean the other option
- 1:04:27for a dwarf is eh Orange Delight, which you guys have
- 1:04:29predicted more in the as a version 2 rather than the
- 1:04:32legacies, but. I know, Rich, like I said.
- 1:04:35Did he? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:04:36Legacies. Which are?
- 1:04:37Yeah. In some ways I'd prefer him to
- 1:04:39be legacy because we'll get him sooner than if he's in UMM.
- 1:04:43Already probably. And then my other two, Balaam
- 1:04:47good man and Sir Galeron, not a versus as such, but I think
- 1:04:54Galleron is more. He seems to be a popular
- 1:04:57character, doesn't he? And.
- 1:04:58He's also isn't there potential for him to be evil?
- 1:05:03He's. A bit.
- 1:05:04Yeah, he's a bit. Maybe they possibly faction,
- 1:05:08yeah. Oh, I'll be interesting.
- 1:05:11But he to expect one team revenge, doesn't he?
- 1:05:13So yeah, on whoever killed his family or whatever killed.
- 1:05:17Somebody, as long as he comes down, helmets his shark head,
- 1:05:20I'm happy. And I said it already, but Ether
- 1:05:23and Zylone are the kind of outside pick for legacies, but I
- 1:05:26think we get them some way shape or form this year.
- 1:05:31OK, and so anymore mythics stuff I can chat at random, stuff I've
- 1:05:42said we will get at least we'll get at least teased with a new
- 1:05:48dragon this year. Do you think a new.
- 1:05:51Like a colorway with maybe a new head or something, but just a
- 1:05:54tease. So like maybe like last slide
- 1:05:57that you G gone that kind of thing.
- 1:05:59Yeah, I don't think we will. No, I think, I think until
- 1:06:03they're the 1 lands they're not going to even start teasing
- 1:06:05anything else. And I also put the revenant is
- 1:06:10going to sell out at the in stock sale and people are going
- 1:06:13to lose their minds. It's going to be the the one
- 1:06:15that just goes. And that's why when you said you
- 1:06:17were going to pick up 3:00 AM, I'm like, no, you're not.
- 1:06:21Surely they'll have ordered tonnes of them?
- 1:06:24No, I don't think so. I think this was all settled
- 1:06:27before legions gone. You could now, right?
- 1:06:31I'm sure there's more of him than the 2.0.
- 1:06:35Oh yeah, no Dash. But I think people will go crazy
- 1:06:39for him. So that's, that's another, it's
- 1:06:44just a small prediction. I'm going to double down.
- 1:06:49Or do we have a RPG Kickstarter? Yeah, I got a couple of weeks
- 1:06:54we. Could move on to our.
- 1:06:55Let's go on to that one. You go for that then now.
- 1:06:57So I think RPG will fund in a couple of weeks.
- 1:07:02I think it will fly because I think the people who are into it
- 1:07:07are really into it and I think there's actually probably going
- 1:07:13to be more people than we realise.
- 1:07:14But also then besides those who are interested in the RPG,
- 1:07:18there'll be people who just want the figures as well.
- 1:07:20So I think it's going to do really well and fly I.
- 1:07:24How do you think they're going to do the break up between that?
- 1:07:26Because obviously if they do the figures and the RPG is worn and
- 1:07:30they sell like 2 million, $2,000,000 worth of figures and
- 1:07:34100 grands worth of game. That's, you know, can we produce
- 1:07:38the? Other game.
- 1:07:40Yeah, yeah, I think. Well, let's look, let's lower
- 1:07:42the numbers then. But we know, could it get to the
- 1:07:44point where they're like, can we even afford to produce the game?
- 1:07:47Because I think, I think most of the money's come for the figures
- 1:07:49rather than the game. I think they love to structure
- 1:07:51it in the way, yeah. That's, I think, enough to
- 1:07:54structure it somehow. So there's.
- 1:07:55Got to got to remember they're trying to it is a book that
- 1:07:58producing essentially. So the cost of that isn't quite
- 1:08:01the same as. I mean I can do mini girls.
- 1:08:06And the minis and all that, but they're separate costs for all
- 1:08:09of that that. So I reckon you'll find they do
- 1:08:14a book the minis or a set of the book, the minis and and or the
- 1:08:22figures, the book, the mini, you know, it'll be like an all in or
- 1:08:25this of this or this or this. And they'll they're at the point
- 1:08:30where I bet you with that, maybe not the figures, but the the
- 1:08:35book and the minis. I bet you they'll get they're
- 1:08:39ready to just send them into printing or, or what would you
- 1:08:45call it but a casting for the minis.
- 1:08:49Actually, I mean, it depends what the minis are made of as
- 1:08:51well, doesn't it? It's not.
- 1:08:52Again, it's not like they have to worry about all the tooling
- 1:08:55in the same way. It's generally a, a solid single
- 1:08:59piece. Yeah, I think injection moulding
- 1:09:03you should, I suppose it all is injection moulding, but they're
- 1:09:06not then worrying about does that bit of injection moulding
- 1:09:08fit that bit of injection moulding.
- 1:09:10And yeah, they probably will. They're probably using the same
- 1:09:14factories thinking about it. So I think, I think the costs
- 1:09:21were the, and you've also got to think they're going to then want
- 1:09:26to also have a product to take on the road and sell after the
- 1:09:30fact. So they'll produce, they'll over
- 1:09:32produce. They're not going to just
- 1:09:33produce as much as the Kickstarter sells.
- 1:09:36They're going to want to produce enough to be able to sell stuff
- 1:09:38afterwards. Because this has got a different
- 1:09:41audience as well, hasn't it? And not all of that audience is
- 1:09:45necessarily going to become aware of it straight away.
- 1:09:48So there's probably an amount of marketing needs to be done in a
- 1:09:52different way and different. So there you go.
- 1:09:56They were affiliate Philadelphia, was it
- 1:09:58Philadelphia Games Expo, which isn't something they would
- 1:10:00normally do, but they were there primarily for the for the RPG.
- 1:10:04The figures just going along as well because they're part of
- 1:10:07what's going to be available and they might get a few more people
- 1:10:10who want to buy the figures. They this is the RPG they're
- 1:10:13selling. The figures are just because
- 1:10:17their original target are toy collectors.
- 1:10:21Yeah. Umm.
- 1:10:23So yeah, I don't think they're, I don't think they'll, they'll
- 1:10:27be worried about underselling on the RPG, on the game, the books,
- 1:10:31the book of the game. Yeah, it's hard to know the way
- 1:10:36it's structured. So what's the prediction there
- 1:10:38in the end then? So I think it will, eh, it'll
- 1:10:40fund in a couple of weeks, OK. And then it would trouble like
- 1:10:442. You don't know how long it's
- 1:10:47going for. No Umm, it's usually but
- 1:10:51Kickstarter they usually go for a month, don't they?
- 1:10:55Yeah, month and six weeks isn't. It yeah.
- 1:10:56So I think half the time basically at most, I think,
- 1:11:03well, now we've talked about the fact that elf will come with
- 1:11:06alter with a character pack. It might be that especially with
- 1:11:11the colours of the elf, I think that we get the evil character
- 1:11:16because in DND, and I assume this will carry over to the RPG
- 1:11:21because why wouldn't it? You've got three types of
- 1:11:26alignment. You've got good, evil, neutral,
- 1:11:31and then you can be versions of lawful chaotic.
- 1:11:37No, not love. Oh, I can't remember what they
- 1:11:40are off the top of my head at the moment, but it's like pure
- 1:11:42evil, you know, lovely evil chaos.
- 1:11:46OK, definitely. Anyway, regret the.
- 1:11:48Emirates show No, there's no yeah, I.
- 1:11:49Think you're getting one and and and I wonder this is the this is
- 1:11:55the if I get it right, we may not because it's AD and D
- 1:12:01property, but it does mean you could easily convert it.
- 1:12:04I wonder if we'll get the rules for our can for the RPG.
- 1:12:09I think so, and it makes sense. Characters designed specifically
- 1:12:14for the RPG. Yeah, why do you think he's
- 1:12:17coming out before the RPG? No, no, no.
- 1:12:20But I that might not be with the actual.
- 1:12:22No, but why do you think he's been solicited before the?
- 1:12:24Oh, why? Oh yeah, Yeah.
- 1:12:26Well. I mean, there's as a bunch of
- 1:12:28reasons why, but I think that. DND fans get their eyes on the
- 1:12:31product and yeah, yeah. So that's my little RPG
- 1:12:36predictions. OK, Rich.
- 1:12:39Mine are very short because I'm not AD and D person so I had to
- 1:12:42Google what even the character types were.
- 1:12:44Unfortunately, we'll get a barbarian warrior of some sort
- 1:12:48as one of the the extra figures, and then an evil female sorcerer
- 1:12:52of some sort. Very good.
- 1:12:54That's it. That's it.
- 1:12:56Glad you're not managing the campaign.
- 1:13:00We'd have many, few as. Manage I got I got to focus on
- 1:13:03my creative energies on that the year and G Conway.
- 1:13:05So I can't be like, you know. Right.
- 1:13:10This is obviously stab stab in the dark because don't know the
- 1:13:14funding level. Is the funding level going to be
- 1:13:16based on the figures or the game?
- 1:13:18Assuming it's based on the game, the figures are add-ons.
- 1:13:21I think that the Kickstarter will fund in the 1st 24 hours no
- 1:13:25problem. That's my guess on that.
- 1:13:29Doubling down on my Dragon Kickstarter prediction that was
- 1:13:32wrong last year. I think then in terms of
- 1:13:37figures, I think we get a magic user.
- 1:13:39So like wizard or, you know, some sort of a mage, the 3D, you
- 1:13:46know, cloak and kind of classic, yeah, the whole thing, you know,
- 1:13:50barbarian definitely of some sort.
- 1:13:53Bruiser might not, might necessarily be a barbarian could
- 1:13:56be like a, you know. Rockman.
- 1:14:00Kind of like a good orc or you know, yeah, Rockman, but some
- 1:14:04kind of a bruiser figure. Yeah.
- 1:14:07Dwarf I definitely think will come in the campaign somewhere.
- 1:14:11You know, I think people that are into dwarfs are into RPGs.
- 1:14:17I think. I think it's kind of a there's
- 1:14:21definitely a line there. You know, if you're really into
- 1:14:25the kind of dwarf type character, you've probably you
- 1:14:29know, you're probably heavy into this type of stuff and then a
- 1:14:32long shot prediction might be that long shot, but for a
- 1:14:37character type is a thief slash bird, because I think Jeremy
- 1:14:42especially that is his type of figure.
- 1:14:45I think he's mentioned that numerous times that, well, the.
- 1:14:48Elf is the rogue, the thief, so. Yeah.
- 1:14:50Could I understand that? Yeah.
- 1:14:52Could it be that the alternative character pack is the Bard
- 1:14:55version of it? The other maybe?
- 1:14:57Other species though, singing. And maybe singing Big cat John
- 1:15:02flock. Big cat singing.
- 1:15:04Bird. Singing Bird Yeah, that would
- 1:15:08actually make sense, right? And Armoury.
- 1:15:12Do we have any predictions around the armoury?
- 1:15:14I actually didn't think about that and I.
- 1:15:16Didn't think of the armoury. No, there were more parts in the
- 1:15:18deadline. This year and I don't think so,
- 1:15:20I think it worked out nicely this year in terms of selling
- 1:15:26out is always good. I know that would have ideally
- 1:15:29liked more to get them to the end of Legions con, but I think
- 1:15:34yeah, I'll check a quick. Prediction in I think because
- 1:15:36we'll have more parts by then, we might have a dwarf and
- 1:15:38goblins. OK, parts.
- 1:15:41That I would, yeah. Yeah, I might not what I
- 1:15:44predicted. Based on last year, yeah.
- 1:15:47Predicted for the army, build a dwarf and an alternative or
- 1:15:55option for that is build creature characters would be.
- 1:16:00A. Very long shot might be the down
- 1:16:03the line, maybe when we have more creature parts even than we
- 1:16:07have today. OK, and what are we on to now?
- 1:16:12Cosmic legions. Yeah, let's take.
- 1:16:14So, mythics done. Yeah, everybody.
- 1:16:17Yeah, OK. It's just reading through his
- 1:16:20novel. Checking my notes, I'm thinking
- 1:16:22there's another mythic thing. OK, well, if.
- 1:16:25There isn't a no, no, OK, We've got cosmic figure, Obscure and
- 1:16:28cosmic, Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:16:30Cosmic. And the graveyard stuff, if we
- 1:16:33want to have a guess at that. So Cosmics, I think we
- 1:16:36definitely, we get, we get book 3 of Ox Crew this year, don't
- 1:16:39we? I think we get another MOTU
- 1:16:43tribute in Ox Crew. And I think I've said it before
- 1:16:46and I'm saying it again, we're getting mosquito because if
- 1:16:50people don't look at that high, low Korean helmet and see a
- 1:16:52mosquito head, there's something wrong with them.
- 1:16:57How did they do the the goop or simulate the goop?
- 1:17:01They just make it very. I don't know that they need to,
- 1:17:04because it's just very glossy, I suppose.
- 1:17:06Yeah, they could just paint it red, I suppose.
- 1:17:08I don't know. That's a good question, whether
- 1:17:10they've bother. But I suppose it is something
- 1:17:12that people hold quite dear about that character, isn't it?
- 1:17:15I. Mean they don't have to do the
- 1:17:17goop, but it's to represent it somehow.
- 1:17:20Yeah, well that you just the way you painted it and it would be
- 1:17:24effect. I'm trying to think what parts I
- 1:17:26could I could use a translucent chest piece that could be quite
- 1:17:30cool. You know, like.
- 1:17:31The bit, yeah. I think we get Fraxian leader of
- 1:17:38some kind. I actually I'd like it if it was
- 1:17:41brute scale. I don't know if it will be,
- 1:17:44could be ogre scale because we've got the, you know, the
- 1:17:47that lizardy kind of texture for that and that would set him
- 1:17:53apart. He'd be a big guy and see why he
- 1:17:55was in charge of the Thraxians. We're going to get the final two
- 1:18:00members of the Ox crew. I think one will just be another
- 1:18:05whatever in the Velocx suit because at the moment all four
- 1:18:09of them have different sizes and shapes.
- 1:18:13So what colour suit then? Ask a question.
- 1:18:18What have we got? We've got flu.
- 1:18:20It's got to be like one of the primary colours, like green or
- 1:18:22red. Got to be green or something,
- 1:18:24doesn't it? Yeah.
- 1:18:24Or green, Yeah. Because I think we got another
- 1:18:27all of our sized character as well, not maybe with the big
- 1:18:31head, but you know, a little because that's so popular.
- 1:18:33I wouldn't. It depends on whether it was all
- 1:18:36decided before or whether they were like, well, we could tweak
- 1:18:38this and do this and. Well, they need to reuse those
- 1:18:41pieces again, I think, isn't it? Yeah.
- 1:18:46Then I wonder if we get something Tusk related as well,
- 1:18:49because of course there was that suggestion the Tusk had gotten
- 1:18:53the I've. Got a message, haven't they?
- 1:18:56Yeah. I didn't think of that.
- 1:18:57So maybe we get another Tusk character or some description.
- 1:19:02We'll see. Though we I'm less sure of that
- 1:19:05because we've had the character packs.
- 1:19:09Another reuse of slug maybe? Maybe, maybe.
- 1:19:13Yeah, something like that does favour another a reuse.
- 1:19:16Slug for the first time. Maybe because, and he could be
- 1:19:20some kind of ship commander or something of some Tusk ship.
- 1:19:25But yeah. And I do wonder.
- 1:19:29I don't know where they'd fit it in though, but I wonder if we'll
- 1:19:32get a second cosmic wave, and if we do, I've got absolutely no
- 1:19:38idea what it'll be and I can't even begin.
- 1:19:41To no point even predicting. Yeah, Rich.
- 1:19:45So ideally people listen to my previous predictions because I
- 1:19:48did a much better job than the Russian ones I put down here,
- 1:19:52but here we go. So again, like Miles said, Knox
- 1:19:56book, Cox crew, book three we've got to get.
- 1:19:58We'll get the last two crew members.
- 1:20:00I think the communications officer who wants to be doing
- 1:20:03all the talking will be a female character.
- 1:20:05But using the orbar armour have a slightly smaller sort of
- 1:20:09build, quite a quite a small head as well, so it really looks
- 1:20:15dwarfed by the armour sort of thing.
- 1:20:17And I want something with multiplies and I want multiplies
- 1:20:23on the alien. He's well easily could do with
- 1:20:27some with them, you know, it could be anything can.
- 1:20:30Then the other crew member again as Mal said, using the the 1.0
- 1:20:34as it were buck for that I want 2 heads.
- 1:20:39I want to have a neck with two heads coming off it.
- 1:20:42I think you can work that into the armour so the neck wouldn't
- 1:20:44look weird. And personal preference.
- 1:20:47I don't think we'll get this necessarily unless I'm writing
- 1:20:49the G con. But tentacles for arms and feet?
- 1:20:56Tentacles last year as well. I keep banging on about the
- 1:20:59tentacles. I wouldn't be.
- 1:21:00Surprised if we get them at some point in the future, if not this
- 1:21:03year. I hadn't thought about a MOTU
- 1:21:05tribute when I mentioned him out.
- 1:21:07I've suddenly jotted down maybe Roboto and use that.
- 1:21:11Is that high low crane helmet? Yeah.
- 1:21:13I think that could work really well for Roboto.
- 1:21:15That's it. Could the Roboto tribute?
- 1:21:17Because I wouldn't be surprised if we got two this year.
- 1:21:19Could the Roboto tribute be them using the Veloc suit?
- 1:21:22It could easily couldn't. Well, there's the MOTU movie
- 1:21:26coming, so. And yeah, it does.
- 1:21:29Look a bit like the Biloxi, yeah.
- 1:21:33Yeah, nice enough. We'll get the Wasteland warlord.
- 1:21:37I think that's what they referred to him as.
- 1:21:38That's. The Thraxian isn't it?
- 1:21:40Thraxian leader is the wasteland warlord I think, wasn't it?
- 1:21:43I don't think it will be. I think it'll be separate.
- 1:21:45I think it'll be a separate thing.
- 1:21:46So I think it'll be I put down here a big hulking fat alien
- 1:21:51using the slog body. Fair enough.
- 1:21:54I think, you know, for the for the warlord, you want something
- 1:21:57just really big and you know, no nonsense.
- 1:22:00I think you'll come with a couple of guards.
- 1:22:02So one would be a big, big, tough looking dude.
- 1:22:07This goes against all my principles here, but shirtless.
- 1:22:10So like cosmic legs, but like a bare torso of some sort.
- 1:22:17And then like a big, it's a terrible way to describe it, but
- 1:22:20a big square head, it's like just a really big filled out
- 1:22:24alien head sort of thing. So it's, you know, the head's as
- 1:22:26wide as the torso almost did. It's like, you know, however
- 1:22:29that design would work. And then I think the other guard
- 1:22:35would be like a little skinny fella, So hopefully imp scale,
- 1:22:39but like a little alien, but really properly evil looking,
- 1:22:43maybe big eyes, lost sharp teeth, that sort of thing.
- 1:22:48I think we'll get another Thraxian, but I think this will
- 1:22:50be. You just describe an imp shark.
- 1:22:57I may well have done. Yes.
- 1:22:59Yeah, he's got, he's got a fin. Jesus.
- 1:23:04Christ, yeah, I think we'll get an anthraxian, but I'm thinking
- 1:23:08we might get an ogre scale Thraxian.
- 1:23:10That might be too much. Maybe we'll slog.
- 1:23:11But like, I was thinking like a, how do I put this politely, a
- 1:23:16not particularly intelligent Thraxian that maybe lug stuff
- 1:23:19around, but works for the new affiliation.
- 1:23:21So isn't part of the Thraxian. He works for the new the new
- 1:23:25guys. There's lots of carrying and
- 1:23:27lifting. And then we get another skate
- 1:23:29back of some sort. And it could either be a beast
- 1:23:32of burden to help your big lumbering Thraxian, or it could
- 1:23:36be like an attack beast for the warlord.
- 1:23:38It's a bit more of a nasty skate back.
- 1:23:42Kind of cool, sort of a beast handler.
- 1:23:44So he's got multiple, have some kind of Thraxing skate backs,
- 1:23:48that'd be kind of cool. OK, umm, I didn't go down the
- 1:23:53character route for this really. And I thought that Ox Crew 3 now
- 1:23:57will be solicited before the summer.
- 1:24:00So summer is July I think. So let's let's say in the first
- 1:24:05half of this year then and and I think it will be there will
- 1:24:12definitely be lots more reuse of the space suits given a popular
- 1:24:15there and DIO pieces. I think we get another DIO pack
- 1:24:21in it. And I think that would be the
- 1:24:25only cosmic religions kind of main release this year will be
- 1:24:29that and we might get a figure here and there from it.
- 1:24:33But I think that would be kind of the speed of cosmic will
- 1:24:37change to one wave a year. Yeah.
- 1:24:39Maybe, yeah. And that's all I have for in
- 1:24:45cosmic. So OK, we can move on to
- 1:24:48figuras. Yeah, that's what I've got next.
- 1:24:50And then the graveyard duvet notes after that.
- 1:24:53Infinity Legion in. Infoliations.
- 1:24:55Yeah, that's a real type of tricky one.
- 1:24:57I was trying to think, oh. No, I've got OK figure.
- 1:25:01Yeah, figure. I think we're going to get less
- 1:25:03figure this year. I think we might just get the 2.
- 1:25:07I think I've gone the other way. I've gone for.
- 1:25:09Right. I think we get another God and I
- 1:25:13think, I think we get the ghost to Christmas past this year.
- 1:25:18And I think that present, sorry, Christmas present, yes, yeah.
- 1:25:23I'm helping you, your predictions, what we're doing,
- 1:25:25Johnny said past 1. He said past.
- 1:25:28Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:25:32One more thing on cosmic, sorry to hijack.
- 1:25:35We get the comic this year, finally.
- 1:25:37I hope we do. I really.
- 1:25:38Hope. Yeah, we've got about me.
- 1:25:39Surely, Yeah, yeah. OK.
- 1:25:41Anyway, continue with your figure SO.
- 1:25:43That's it. Yeah.
- 1:25:43I just think we get the two this year.
- 1:25:45OK. Everything else Rich.
- 1:25:49I think we might get 4 this year.
- 1:25:50I think they're really as a company, They're really it
- 1:25:53sounds like inside knowledge. I don't, but it sounds like
- 1:25:55they're really enjoying dropping in stock stuff, you know, so
- 1:25:59they're conscious. There's lots of pre-orders out
- 1:26:01there. So drop in in stock is actually
- 1:26:03a pretty cool thing. So I think we'll get another
- 1:26:05Gods of Egypt character. I think it's going to be Secmet
- 1:26:09who's the lioness God of War. I think I did.
- 1:26:12I threw my box at Legions con so I don't can't save her some but
- 1:26:15I think she might have been on the 4th box which yeah she
- 1:26:18might. She might be next.
- 1:26:19She was, yeah. Yeah, so I think we'll get her.
- 1:26:23I think we might get a sneaky 1 here, another Journey to the
- 1:26:25West character. It's been a couple of years
- 1:26:28since you had the last one, but I think we might.
- 1:26:30And I think if we're going to get one, it'll be Pixie.
- 1:26:34OK, I'll be all about that. Let me know if we did.
- 1:26:38For the Halloween themed one I am going Creature from the Black
- 1:26:42Lagoon. It's probably because it's a
- 1:26:44fish type thingy and I'm slightly biassed towards that,
- 1:26:47but I think that'd be a really cool character.
- 1:26:49How it would work? Would definitely work, yeah.
- 1:26:51There's a lot of figures of it out already though.
- 1:26:54There are, I mean I might have gone down the vampire route but
- 1:26:56I think was because of the chance of going to get vampires
- 1:26:59at some point in. The skin about whatever what
- 1:27:01cryptids people would want, but was that going to be teased that
- 1:27:05too soon? I think that's.
- 1:27:06Probably further back because they they plan these so far in
- 1:27:09advance. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:27:11And then the Christmas one will be ghost to Christmas present.
- 1:27:14I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's a 2 pack though with a
- 1:27:17go to gross Christmas future too just because they skipped here
- 1:27:21so maybe to catch up a little bit.
- 1:27:25It also feels like there's not. You wonder what they could do
- 1:27:28with the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, or whatever they call
- 1:27:31it, a future. Because it's essentially the
- 1:27:34Grim Reaper, isn't it? And we've gone.
- 1:27:37How do they make that Maxillus? Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
- 1:27:42Let's say yeah, that maybe you're right.
- 1:27:44Yeah. But it doesn't have the right
- 1:27:46colour matching Cape the figures.
- 1:27:51Right, it look pretty. It looks fine, Yeah, Yeah, we
- 1:27:54look perfectly fine, right. I don't see a slot for for this
- 1:28:00one to to be put in and arrive on time, so it's definitely not
- 1:28:05correct, but Easter Bunny I just don't see a slack.
- 1:28:09Where? Would you love?
- 1:28:10That because the RPG thing I think will still be maybe
- 1:28:14funding to maybe just after the end of that, I don't know I.
- 1:28:17Was going to say, if the RPG, sorry John, the RPG runs up to
- 1:28:20like the end of March, a month and then he's the start of
- 1:28:24April, isn't it? So potentially squeeze the
- 1:28:27you'd. Want you'd want to two weeks
- 1:28:29sell it two weeks before Easter maybe to be on the nose of it,
- 1:28:33they have. Dropped them in the middle of
- 1:28:35things. Being on pre owned before
- 1:28:38though. Maybe, yeah.
- 1:28:39And then I do have a Monkey King revisited, Pigsie or Sandy.
- 1:28:46I think it's it's time if they're if they're going to
- 1:28:49revisit. That it's not optimistic they're
- 1:28:51going to do that. I mean, I wish like I'd love.
- 1:28:54I don't need any more gods of ancient Egypt.
- 1:28:56I know I'm in the minority there with I think they are popular,
- 1:29:01yeah. And and now that we've got a few
- 1:29:03of them, people will be keen to keep going.
- 1:29:05So, so I understand, but I'm done with them I think.
- 1:29:09Unless that's. Contemplated getting rid of the
- 1:29:11ones I've got to be. Yeah.
- 1:29:13They're just not. I don't know.
- 1:29:14I know. Same.
- 1:29:17And and then lastly, apart from OK, ghost of Christmas present
- 1:29:24isn't present. Yeah, and I think we'll get that
- 1:29:27to to put Clay placate the moaners.
- 1:29:31I think actually I've just thought, sorry John, again, if I
- 1:29:33don't say it now, it's going to drop off my head so I'm not
- 1:29:35interrupting to be awkward. But do you think they'll drop a
- 1:29:38teaser that suggests it's a Nutcracker and then they'll give
- 1:29:40us Ghosts Christmas present? Yes, to balance it out.
- 1:29:43The people that lost their mind over the last one, rightly or
- 1:29:46wrongly, will just, you know. Just to wind up The Nutcracker
- 1:29:49people. Definitely, yeah.
- 1:29:52And then Red Riding Hood and Wolfie is my other one.
- 1:29:56Love that and that's so good. That might be the autumn one
- 1:30:00would be so good yeah and like the Wolfie, there's two options
- 1:30:04obviously totally new or it's like a, you know, a wolf type
- 1:30:08companion type creature or the wind dodgy with the wolf head be
- 1:30:13a 2 pack. It would be expensive but I
- 1:30:15think people would buy and it's a way of packaging a 2.0 with
- 1:30:21the 1.0. Or they're trying to reuse some
- 1:30:24of the Garmin stuff. Maybe who know that.
- 1:30:28Then you got it. You got a 2 pack plus it's an
- 1:30:31ogre and. Yeah.
- 1:30:33I guess it might get a bit expensive at that point.
- 1:30:35Yeah, yeah. I think so.
- 1:30:36And I don't think Garmir, you know, will be released by then.
- 1:30:39So you know that I always think that's a bit of a strange one
- 1:30:45for such a big kind of figure. Yeah.
- 1:30:50So that's my figures graveyard. What do we got?
- 1:30:55Yeah, part of the reason I kind of think they might drop the
- 1:30:59figure is because they kind of cover the Halloween, you know,
- 1:31:02with the graveyard. And I think they might go for
- 1:31:05translucent skeletons this year. And funny you say about the big
- 1:31:11bad wolf, because I wonder if we'll get werewolves in the
- 1:31:13graveyard set this year because for the same reason.
- 1:31:18So I had werewolves down as my graveyard prediction.
- 1:31:22Oh. You do.
- 1:31:22There you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:31:24So I think, I do think we might get that and they'll stick with
- 1:31:27the skeletons because it's a fun.
- 1:31:30Yeah, there'll be the skelet translucent skeletons in the
- 1:31:34boxes this year, Yeah. Yeah, something like that.
- 1:31:36Yeah, yeah, yeah, I. Think you 2 probably right but
- 1:31:39just be different. I'm going to go graveyards on
- 1:31:41graveyard vampires. Yeah, good equal cool one.
- 1:31:45Yeah, would you like vampire Night bodies like 2.0?
- 1:31:51Yeah, I love that body. So I'd Yeah.
- 1:31:54To do it on more like the Mali torso style of vampire body if
- 1:31:59they did it I think which doesn't OK press by that idea.
- 1:32:04No, no, no. I'm trying to think, you said
- 1:32:05Mali. I was like.
- 1:32:07Oh, Jacob Marley So you know the coat and the.
- 1:32:10Coats and that sort of stuff yeah, that could be good
- 1:32:12actually the. Traditional Count Dracula I.
- 1:32:14Guess no, that would work well, actually.
- 1:32:16Well, yeah. Right.
- 1:32:20Are we finishing off on Infinite Legions then or do you have
- 1:32:23more? Yeah, no, that would be well,
- 1:32:25I've got 1 legions con theory, but OK, it's not a figure.
- 1:32:29So the end engines, yeah. Spoiler he's kind of linked.
- 1:32:35So I think the first so with Ark and we know we're getting Ark
- 1:32:41and I think we get Torregas steel fist with him, which is
- 1:32:46his his minor tour bodyguard. And I think it uses because if
- 1:32:53you look at it, look him up, he's lower half isn't dissimilar
- 1:32:59looking to the Jersey Devils lower half.
- 1:33:03And then he's got a big minor tour muscular upper torso.
- 1:33:06I mean, he's meant to be like, you know, cow legs, but it looks
- 1:33:09a bit more like the, the, the Jersey Devil style of legs.
- 1:33:15And that would make him big as well.
- 1:33:17So I think we might get him. And I do actually think so.
- 1:33:22It's a bit confusing when you're looking up about the Dark Order
- 1:33:25because there's a dark, there's a dark barbarian, a demon
- 1:33:30mentioned, but it actually looks like they're not actually part
- 1:33:33of the Dark Order officially. So they might not be owned by
- 1:33:38Joe Manganiello. They might be DND so I wouldn't
- 1:33:43be surprised if we do get all four of the dark order at least
- 1:33:46for pre-order this year. Which means then the second ones
- 1:33:50will be the Manticore and which I forget what his name was and I
- 1:33:56forgot what the other the Tortuga.
- 1:33:59The total. Total, yeah, would be the second
- 1:34:02two. So yeah, that's my theory on
- 1:34:06Infinite Legions this year. So that's the whole infinite
- 1:34:10allegiance. Is is.
- 1:34:11Yeah, the dark. Order.
- 1:34:13Yeah, OK, Yeah, OK. We're not not all in January,
- 1:34:16not all in this neck I think we'll get.
- 1:34:18OK, you think there'll be too. Later down, yeah, yeah.
- 1:34:22Rich, what you? Got I think we're only going to
- 1:34:24get the one stuff that comes out in January.
- 1:34:26I think I think infinite allegiance is a slower, slower
- 1:34:30drivers. I think I'm well, I'm hoping we
- 1:34:35get crawl the total because that's an awesome looking
- 1:34:38character, but I could absolutely see Tora Gor steel
- 1:34:42face being done and then that would give you the body as well.
- 1:34:47Or you know you have the body then for a stereo if you're
- 1:34:49going to do the. That was my thing, the.
- 1:34:51Legacies 1. So yeah.
- 1:34:53So in that respect, that probably makes more sense.
- 1:34:56Takes less new tooling than then Arkan did so they can darken.
- 1:35:00He's like almost. Well, he's completely new
- 1:35:03tooling isn't he? Pretty much.
- 1:35:05So that one would give him a bit of a relief.
- 1:35:07They'd still be able to use 3.0 parts.
- 1:35:11So he matched dark and and he would be yeah, yeah.
- 1:35:16And a worst case scenario for me would be that we get one of his
- 1:35:18barbarian berserkers. I don't think we are getting
- 1:35:22that. No, I really hope now.
- 1:35:23Looked into it a bit more. OK, I I think I can't really add
- 1:35:33to the ark and thing, you know, I think we will get a couple or
- 1:35:36one or two of the other characters in, you know, in that
- 1:35:40whole thing that he has, you know, so, you know, take your
- 1:35:45pick from them. I would say I think man makes a
- 1:35:47good point on, you know, what parts might match up.
- 1:35:50So let's see. I think there's a lot of people
- 1:35:53saying the title. So I think that's maybe a wish
- 1:35:55listing more than anything, more than a, you know, grounded than
- 1:35:59anything else. To get him looking like you made
- 1:36:02it's so it again a completely new tooled figure to get it
- 1:36:05looking anything like him. Which you could really use as a
- 1:36:08certain character in the G Conway, just saying.
- 1:36:12Infinite Legion is so broad that it could literally be anything,
- 1:36:17so predicting on it is insane. And the only thing I could think
- 1:36:21of that might make some sense and has a possibility of
- 1:36:25happening is maybe crossing over Mexico on their own IP.
- 1:36:31You know, Mexico has their own IP, Gomez and all that kind of
- 1:36:34stuff. Maybe some sort of collaboration
- 1:36:37on that. So Gomez is kind of a bug.
- 1:36:41Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:36:44So maybe there's some crossover potential there.
- 1:36:47I don't know, though, because Mexico was pretty, you know,
- 1:36:51it's a toy company in the same scale as Horsemen and probably,
- 1:36:56you know, just as big at least. So, you know, I'm thinking of
- 1:37:02smaller guys. I mean, I don't know, small, I
- 1:37:05mean, John, but Manganiello is a big, eh, famous person, but he's
- 1:37:10not a toy person. So that's a, that's a perfect
- 1:37:14person to collaborate with. If it's that mould of, they've
- 1:37:17never made figures of those. Well, other than the minis of
- 1:37:21those. Characters.
- 1:37:21Oh no. Design was what they hadn't a
- 1:37:24link previously anyway, but that's a totally different scale
- 1:37:27and it's smaller operation than horsemen.
- 1:37:31I'm I wonder if, because they can't really go into the big
- 1:37:34company stuff, whether they find maybe a comic book, like an
- 1:37:37independent comic book and take up a couple of characters from
- 1:37:40one of those, you know, again, not a big way, so.
- 1:37:43This is where. Word for the comic.
- 1:37:46This is where armies of Ashmore Matt rods line could have maybe
- 1:37:50fit in if they hadn't have actually helped him get him off
- 1:37:54the ground himself. You know, maybe this is where it
- 1:37:57fits in to go forward to make things easier for him.
- 1:38:01So shipping and all that kind of gets taken out of being an issue
- 1:38:05for for that line. Maybe that's something.
- 1:38:10And then you could think of all the smaller companies that are
- 1:38:12at Regents gone or small or similar.
- 1:38:15So like plunderlings, a walk, galactic valour, odious, all
- 1:38:23these parallel universe, although those ones.
- 1:38:27Yeah, take your pick and get good.
- 1:38:29I think because they're similar scales with the exception of
- 1:38:31Lundlings, I think you might people might not be keen to do
- 1:38:34crossovers on that. Form of toys they they could do
- 1:38:38something there because they're more the human, the old classic
- 1:38:41human style. But again, they've got their own
- 1:38:44thing and they say. And then he got the Zolo stuff
- 1:38:50that kind of is taken care of at the Zolo Con anyway.
- 1:38:53But maybe to formalise that into an official thing of its own,
- 1:38:59maybe we didn't even beat. It's maybe right.
- 1:39:04For one For one. Pure engines con right.
- 1:39:07Let's go on a banger. You've nothing left, Rich.
- 1:39:10You're done. No, I'm done.
- 1:39:11Yeah. I think, I think as long as
- 1:39:15you're not filming and working any on anything, I think Mr
- 1:39:18Mangianello makes an appearance that next year's legions come.
- 1:39:23Oh yeah? Well, don't announce that
- 1:39:25beforehand so we actually have a chance to get tickets.
- 1:39:30That's good. As if he does, my wife won't be
- 1:39:32coming. Along with me.
- 1:39:37Remember, stay safe out there, everybody won't seem final
- 1:39:41destination you know predictions seeing in the future.
- 1:40:05The.
