Of course, if you venue got the "Bag full o' Mage Knight" (assuming it was available to them), you get Kieron and a Relic he can use (Silvercloud). The relic is also availble in Game Trade Magazine, which many venues give out for free (some only when you purchase something from their store).

It shouldn't be too hard to get a relic to give him.

Yes it's thrilling to pull Uniques out of your boosters, but too much of a good thing would make you sick wouldn't it? Everyone would be buying starters, pulling out uniques at such rates it soon becomes dull. I would say it almost kill the thrill of opening the box.

I like what I'm reading from Typhon's case report. It makes me even more excited than ever about my case that's coming in 2/7.

I see this Elven Archer figure as a bonus given to us by WK. This one is on top of the 8 random figs you get out of the starter as you would have any others. Maybe we could learn to be more delightful.

Thank you WK!

Even if you assume an average of $5 a figure a 200 model army is $1000, and if you have any amount of money constraints the bulk of your army is going to be the plastic minis, which are more like $1-$2 per model.
$750 for a collectable set is just not cheap by any means. I collected full sets of Magic through Ice Age and quite a few other CCGs, and they were all cheap and easy to collect compared to MK.

Chink in the...huh? I've complained about the ridiculous collectability problem of MK since it first came out, even when you got 5 models per booster instead of 4, even when the expansion sets only had 10 uniques instead of 12. This is nothing new with 2.0.
If you consider $750 inexpensive, well, hey great for you.

Hey, I said it was just my preference. You like gore and blood, I don't.
We both like this game with prepainted minis and the click dial, but some people think its incredibly dumb. Does that make both of our points moot?

Notice key words like "revamp" and "updated". The whole "MK 2.0 is a whole new game" is a load of bull. Its an updated and presumably improved version of Mage Knight. That's why they say they updated it. That's why its still caled Mage Knight. That's why people write things about "what's changed".

Attack? Hmmm, lesse, I thanked Typhon for the report and commented about some good points and bad points. Attack?

i like the info, Typhon, but it would be nice if you could have told us more about the new figures. oh well at least you got to see them

uniques are in starters! someone said that kierin is the only unique one could get from a starter, I'm happy to hear that this isn't the case.

of course uniques are in starters! in the same proportion as in boosters - 1 out of 6 boosters has a unique, so 1 out of 3 starters should have a unique

In this case 1/3 boosters should have 2 uniques :)
