What is up with this piece? Is it ever coming out? if so how? does anyone know the stats or atleast the pilot ability? the Vixens are amazing and I want to know what this one does.

Link: Wizkids Forum: AoD Clarifications

Ummmm....

the WK forum is down.

The clarification says something like:
the Vindication Warwolf and the Deception Vixen have not been released by Wizkids and are not Legal for tournament play.
They give no explanation why, how, if, these units will ever be released, but they discourage people from buying these online (any online sales are probably units "taken" directly from the factory without WK's consent)

Oh, ok. I didn't realize that that was really the only way to get it. I thought it was some exclusive that I missed. Was it originally going to be something other than a tourny prize? I just find it strange that there might be a reason that they would not release it.

My guess was that they were misprints/production errors that were meant to be destroyed/thrown away and someone "salvaged" them.

But isn't it on the poster? Isn't that how everyone knows about it? i can't remember them ever putting it on the poster and not sending it out.

oh well, we'll see.

My understanding is that the poster never referenced any exclusive offer for "Deception" (unlike the book offer for "Vindicated"). Thus, "Deception" is one of the prize mechs and should be the prize for March.

Ok, so I just now read through the rest of the thread. Was "Deception" supposed to be a mail away or Wizard exclusive? I figured it was one of the twelve prize mechs as listed on the poster. I guess at this point then, we end up with 11 prize mechs from Wolf Strike.

Vindicated (Vindication is what is on the base) was supposed to be the book mailaway. I can only imagine that Deception was the Wizard Exclusive that never happened. I'm guessing both of these pieces are going to be given as prizes in March and April.
We should find out soon. March event scheduling happens soon.

So "Duke" Nova Cat is a prize mech for March (so is the Phantom War Battle Force). I guess "Deception" will not be available after all.

But on the other hand, will "Duke" be available as part of the Mech Bomb kits like the Wolf Strike LEs?

Duke Nova Cat? wow, that is a little, ummm, sad. there are a bunch of mechs they could have re-prized and that is not one of the ones I would have picked. The Phantom War BF set is nice though. Now I don't have to spend my money on it.

Just a quick question, what in the world is "Styrene Package Kit"?

As far as "Deception" goes... we will have to wait even longer to find out its fate.

Man...all that effort to get the Phantom War set...now they are offering it as a prize. *moans.* I'd prefer "Deception," But they're reoffering two to the best RISC gears though.

I just hope they offer "Deception" Though.

oh wow, i'm going hardcore on the apm tourny day. Thats going to be mine!
