| Well we heard some interesting conversations about the WTF aka Wrackspawn.
1. It will be released in the MM4 that will be out at some point in the near future.
2. There is a little something in the entry for us. Nothing could be confirmed, but the comment was made after we were joking about pulling a WTF in the draft.
We can take that to mean almost anything, but I'm speculating on some type of WTF reference in the MM4 under the Wrackspawn entry. We may have to look for it, but I bet it is there! | |

It'snot just MaxMinis Kiddoc. As you well know we were all slinging "WTF?" around the WotC boards as well. Actually I think it is physically impossible look at that thing and notsay "WTF". | |

You never now. We may have to loot at the first letter of each paragraph in the entry or maybe something else along those lines, and it will be a veiled throw out to us.
We are a vary large group of consumers. I know Shoe had his trusty notebook of observations +5 with him this weekend, making notes and seeing what the players were doing. | |

| I pulled and PLAYED a wrackspawn in the draft (had too.. I was shy points as it helped get me closer). I made some crack (im sure some of you are no longer stunned that I speak my mind regardless of consequences) and Peter Lee said he really liked it and told me about the backstory (its a soul so tortured it only knows pain is the one sentace summation). Knowing theres a REASON behind the WTFspawn and it wasnt just a sculpter / concept artist huffing mini-fumes makes me feel better. And he did a pretty decent job in the tourney.

Runelord, if you are doing the repaint then I can't wait to see it.
Your repaints have gathered many an onlooker at the two events you have had minis. As have Peter Lee's huge elementals. I may have to find a way to get a few repaints out of you for the Gencon event as prizes. Maybe with that nice hand written info along the bottom on the bases. It was great! Thanks! | |

I think the idea of a hidden "egg" in a book is great. I wonder if it will be something noticalbe to players who have not heard the term associated with that mini? | |

| WTF, that repaint only took half an hour?
I played against a WTF in the maxminis draft, and had to blow its mind with my Catfolk Wilder. :D
I think my favorite part of the whole "WTF" terminology is that during the speculative set lists, it was alphabetized as WTF...and that ended up being the correct place for it! | |

Rune that is impressive. It is amazing how nice the figure can look. I also think that when the figure is on a properly decorated base, it looks nicer.
That was a half hour?!? I would have needed several hours and mine would not have looked that nice. The detailing on his face and neck are fantastic, I never new it had lines like that. | |
