    The message board is in french so if you want fresh news guys I’ll try to translate.

    Non painted mini are actually under production and should be available around april (if we are lucky) they are made in the US.

    For those who read french see :

    “Non painted mini are actually under production and should be available around april (if we are lucky) they are made in the US.”

    Are these going to be anything like the Hell Dorado minis in terms of quality?

    Same scuplt has the prepainted shown here :

    http://www.hazgaard.com/pages/apokkopag.html

    Asmodee is the distributor but Hazgaard is actually the producer. Not the same team as Croc’s and Geoff’s guys from Hell Dorado.

    Okko’s mini are nice but not the same “standard” as Hell Dorado.

    The pre-painted minis were very limited series and they’ve not been exported I think so I could not grab some.
    Non-painted series will be larger and made in USA ; so Erwan from Hazgaard told me there’s a good chance they will be sold by Asmodee US.

    I’ve just asked them if they will be single or multiparts ;o)


    yslaire says:

    More :

    They’ll try to limit the number of parts as much as possible.

    Example the Geisha will be single part but the big Oni Warau will be a 7 part model.

    They will be sold as single blisters.

    Retail price should be (estimated) 6 to 10 euros each

    There should be a first wave of ten minis then smaller monthly releases

    Continued :

    - They’re metal mini
    - awaited for around April in european stores… (It’s an estimation Be patient!)

    About the new expansion :

    - Release date should be october 2008 in european stores
    - 9 new characters (cardboard - I guess metal mini will be released later) and their cards. There’s a mistake on Asmodee’s site it’s not 6 new characters but 9 including one ogre mage and one “assassin” geisha.
    - new equipment cards


    yslaire says:

    There will be 9 characters ; 7 with a mercenary (neutral) status and 2 civilians (like in the starter box they grant bonuses to factions or have particular support habilities).

    The ogre is a Chained Ogre not a “Mage”

    There will be a Yakuza henchman and an Ashigaru.

    (french)

    Now we know all the 9 new characters :

    - Ashigaru with Tsukubo
    - Fire eater
    - Yakuza Henchman
    - Kunoishi (kinda “Mata Hari” female character - female Ninja spy-assassin dressed like a geisha)
    - Thief apprentice
    - Oyabun Akachi (Yakuza boss)
    - Chained Ogre
    - Ninja
    - Corrupted magistrate

    The equipment cards will be :

    - Shuriken
    - Tatoos
    - Smoke screen
    - Red Alga

    I’m still in touch with Erwan from Hazgaard to get precisions and fresh news ;o)

    The expansion was translated a couple of months ago - I actually had the translated files with me at the White Castle meetup at Gencon.

    If anyone wants more details on what any character or item does, I’d be more than happy to answer.

    Now you tell me :-)


    yslaire says:

    And once again TGN will have a great scoop since french guys don’t even have the info actually :oP

    Xenon : we would be VERY interested!


    yslaire says:

    A correction from Hazgaard. Metal minis should be also available in september-october 2008.

    I asked Asmodee “when will the prepainted minis for Okko be out?”

    The reply was end of october/early november
