Meet Wyrd’s Latest Gremlin, The Lucky Emissary
January 26, 2016 by deltagamegirl22
If you're a Gremlin player in Malifaux, then this week's preview is going to make your list! Have a look at the Lucky Emissary. How better than to move this fella around in a pig-powered hamster wheel? Wyrd Miniatures describes it best as a "pork-powered wrecking ball."
Like all the Emissary models, this guy will offer a variety of unique buffs/benefits for each gremlin master, which is great- but let's be honest.
At the end of the day, it's really all about the best use of a pig on the Gremlins tables, and this guy just nailed it.
What do you think of this porky machine?

Looks very cool but it still bugs the crap out of me that Wyrd only show off renders, you rarely get a painted plastic model from them. Its probably not even in production yet, true, but they never backlog it to show off their models on the site.
The quality of their plastics and sculpts is good, but that’s a gripe I have. Its hard to see all the definition with the somewhat shiny grey plastic colour of the renders and shadowed parts.
To be fair to Wyrd, their plastic generally lives up to the renders precisely.
If it bothers you give it a week or two after the models get released and you’ll see them painted to a standard that would make me (for one) weep with envy,
I don’t play the game but I do occasionally pick up some of their minis to paint. This guy will definitely find a home here.
love it, some set fangs on that pig I don’t think the gremlin will last long in them.
I’ve been looking forward to seeing a render of this after the illustration they showed off. I like it! Only concern is that it looks to have a lot of small, fragile fiddly bits hanging off it.
I’ve had the same complaint before with Wyrd sculpts. They do look great but sometimes the pieces only need a harsh glance to snap. I only paint mine but I feel sorry for anyone trying to regularly transport and play with a gang.
That is a super model. I might get it just because it looks great.
