Unboxing Malifaux - M2E Carver

A Pumpkin isn't just for Halloween...not if it's a murderous one apparently...

These were part of the Wyrd Games 'Black Friday' sale and some of those models are pre-release and therefore are yet to have proper boxes so this is technically an un-bagging rather than an un-boxing. But as this was previously a limited edition model and is currently only really usable in one particular scenario it's possible that a bag is all it will ever get...


The Carver bag contains enough parts for one miniature...namely The Carver. It also contains a stat cards for him though there are no upgrade cards. The card is also downloadable from Wyrd Games's website...

The bag has one sprue in it as well as the aforementioned cards...


Should there be any assembly issues with the model then they will be listed in the appropriate section and you can view larger versions of the smaller pictures by clicking on them. Wyrd Miniatures also seem to have stopped putting instructions in things and instead give you a leaflet with a web address on it that leads to a number of links...I've put the instructions here to save you having to look...Just click on it for a larger version...


Stat Card
You can download the official version here.

Assembled
The only small parts on this model are the couple of birds that go on the crosspiece on his back. Everything else is fairly substantial...


Head Options
There are two heads provided with the model. A 'Pumpkin' one and a 'Sack' one...I've lightly tacked them in place so you can see both options therefore if there's a slight gap on any of the pictures in this article it's probably my fault...

Here's some close-ups...

The Birds
They're quite small and the attachment points might need a bit of trimming to get a snug fit...

Comparison Pictures
Here's some comparison pictures between the original metal version and the new plastic one.



Thoughts and comments are (as usual) most welcome.

Unboxing Malifaux - Carver - Original Metal Version

I'm guessing most of you have ended up here looking for the new plastic version...but just in case it's the original metal one you were looking for...here it is...


The Carver was a limited edition model so good look finding one...here's mine assembled with the heads cunningly tacked on so you can see both options...



...and the aforementioned head options...

Unboxing Malifaux - M2E Desolation Engine

It looks like the Outcasts are as inventive with their spare bits and pieces as the Resurrectionists are...


These were part of the Wyrd Games 'Black Friday' sale and some of those models are pre-release and therefore are yet to have proper boxes so this is technically an un-bagging rather than an un-boxing. When the boxed versions become available I'll alter the pictures accordingly...


The Desolation Engine box/bag contains enough parts for one miniature...namely the Desolation Engine. It also contains a stat card for him though there are no upgrade cards.

The box has one sprue in it as well as the aforementioned cards...


Should there be any assembly issues with the model then they will be listed in the appropriate section and you can view larger versions of the smaller pictures by clicking on them. Wyrd Miniatures also seem to have stopped putting instructions in things and instead give you a leaflet with a web address on it that leads to a number of links...

I've put them here for your convenience to save you having to look yourself. Just click on it for a larger version...


Stat Card.
Since I got in trouble for making freely available things that Wyrd Games would much rather sell you here's the front of the stat card only, lol.

Assembled
There are no issues at all with this model...none at all...no seriously...none...even the chain that worried me on the early pics is nice and substantial...


Here's some close-ups...

The Arms.


Some more detail pictures...


Comparison Pictures
Bare in mind when comparing the scale on these that my original metal one is slightly raised by virtue of standing on a rock and the pose is more vertical than horizontal.
