    Apparently my computer forgot how to quote people, so forgive me.

    I'm so very happy about this! I think her similarity to Irusk's sculpt it less irony and more planned. Me sees a duel of fates on the horizon...
    It's funny how many people are saying they'll finally play mercs / highborn. This could be a very profitable model for Privateer.
    What does it mean that it's Privateer exclusive? Who do i have to kill to get this model?

    Why are people thinking it will be con/PP exclusive?

    To my knowledge the only alt/re-sculpt of a Warcaster to be PP exclusive is the alt-Haley1 model. All others have had a normal release and there's nothing I see to make Ashlynn any different.

    It would be a bit of a low-blow if it was a con-exclusive and then only announce it a day before the event when it's far too late for anyone who's not going to change their mind.

    Given the amount of money they'd stand to make by selling her on the open market to everyone who has waited for years for this resculpt, I sincerely doubt it'll be con-exclusive.

    Not to mention all the money they'd make on Mules and all the other models people like me will suddenly buy as we engage in our first Mercenary foray.

    They said in the PP store today that it is a Con-Exclusive. But they have changed their mind in the past. I am not against being a ninja for those out there that don't want to risk it.

    The only bad thing about this model is I can't own it right now. If it is a Con exclusive (which I have no hope of attending, like many others) I'll be disappointed, and then quickly find a way to get it anyway. Or, since it's on the Upcoming Releases list, I'll assume it'll be out for general release sooner or later. Awesome!

    That worries me quite a bit. Can we pleeeeeeeease get someone who works at PP to weigh in and explain wether or not shes going to be a con only model, or if she will be an Online pp store exclusive model OR if she will hit retail shelves.
    I think we need some clarification so that the inevitable fires of panic( or the posts looking for ninja shoppers) is quelled

    It seems to me that it would be good customer service to post a response to the various concerns being raised here.

    And I'm sure they will. Their response time just may be somewhat slower than usual due to Lock & Load.

    Personally, I don't believe in Con exclusives. PP has never done those in the past. Con pre-releases, yes. PP exclusives, yes. Even a No Quarter Exclusive. But to annoy 99.7 % of their fan base with a model they have no hope of ever purchasing? Not our PP.

    It may not be available to the public for a few more months, and I'm fine with that.

    While I'm really, really happy that Ashlynn finally got a re-sculpt I feel like it scuppers my planned paint scheme for my (still) unpainted Highborn force.

    I'd just convinced myself that a subdued colour scheme in green, brown and grey would fit the theme of the Llalese resistance as they moved unnoticed through occupied Llael, mingling with oppressed common folk until it was time to strike! But now I feel like the 2ic politely suggested to Ashlynn that she go and change because she was attracting too much attention, and instead of following suit, she went totally the other way. Curse your patriotism, woman!

    No need to be snarky. I didn't realise where this idea was coming from, so I asked.

    Con exclusive makes me a sad panda. Hopefully untrue.

    Even PP exclusive is annoying. Between this and the Black Dragons, I'm hoping that this isn't a trend. PP have always supported the LGS over direct sales and the Ashlynn resculpt is one that the fanbase has wanted for a LONG time.

    "Privateer Exclusives," if I'm not mistaken, simply means she will only be available through the online store, not that she's a con exclusive. . . besides, we forumites complained to hard for too long about miss pumpkinhead for them not to make her widely available. Too many profits to be had this way for them to make her con exclusive. . .at least, I hope so.

    She's on the site as Privateer Exclusive. I'm guessing that mean's she'll be available through PP's online store. The only PP model I can think of that was truly exclusive and thus not shown anywhere is the NQ Eiryss.

    Someone already has their Ashlynn up on eBay with a $75 Buy It now. Seriously?

    Double-u-tee-eff? For shame. A little dumb really, just because there is an exclusive on the online store doesn't mean the current one will be cancelled/discontinued. Even if it were, her parts would still be on the online store bits section, like the old metal Man O Wars.

    People...

    PS: OT I like the new model, but valid points are raised about the pose reflecting her speed. Still, its a hecka lot nicer, and might sell my friend on starting WM as he likes the idea of the Llaelese resistance, as it is based on France very roughly.

    L&L is over. Still no word if this mini will be released through retailers or at least in the PP store? Would be a shame if it really was a con exclusive.

    Pretty cool model. I love her for the same reason I love Supreme Kommandant Irusk.

    No verifiable confirmation yet to debunk the report of the PP Store saying she's a Con-Exclusive, eh? I want to believe that I can get her on the store eventually (hopefully soon), but I also want to cover my bases in case that report is very horrendously true.

    What I heard at L&L while waiting inline for this beautiful model was it was going to be a L&L exclusive until the end of the year. Then, PP was going to offer her as website exclusive.

    Granted this info wasn't from a PP staff member. So, grain of salt and all that.

    I talked with a couple staffers at L&L and was told that she would be available at Cons throughout the rest of the season before finding her way to the online store.

    On the one hand this would seem to be ok. She is only a resculpt after all and she will find her way to the web store in about 6 month and be available to anyone (who has a credit card).

    On the other hand con exclusives are a bad idea. There are so many PP fans who just don't have the means to attend a con and to make the mini available to them through the web store at the same time would just seem fair.

    Personally it makes me very sad that I don't have the opportunity to get my hands on her in the foreseeable future. I was toying with the idea of a resistance army for some time now but the current sculpt of Ashlynn was one of the reasons not to go for it.

    I guess it'd be okay if I went and modelled/prepared the rest of my Resistance Force while waiting for Ashlynn. That or somehow secure myself some kind of ninja for the upcoming cons. I'm way out here in Asia, so unless PP wants to come by and visit (hey, I wouldn't mind!), I'm definitely going to need a kind soul to attend for me.

    Anyone willing? Hahaha.

    The pressganger at my store who went to L&L claims without a doubt she's a con exclusive. Which is a really troubling thing if pp is going to start doing that.

    After looking at more responses here, I've decided to trust PP enough to believe they wouldn't pull such a ******bag move as to make her con exclusive, not when they've been so supportive of their overseas fanbase in the last ten years. Fostering good faith is a strong marketing force, after all.

    Once she hits the online store, I've already got a shopping list built to purchase with her. I've named it "When Ashlynn Resculpt Releases." Turning out to be a pretty sizable order, especially since I prefer metal merc 'jacks to the plastic one. All I'm missing now before throwing my money at PP is Ashlynn herself.

    Anyone wanna pick me up one at Gen?

    As much as i LOVE PP products, and totally trust PP... I'm a nervous gent and until we get an official "heres-how-it-goes", i'm gonna fear.

    I was at L&L. They said in the store when I bought her that she would be showing up as an on-line exclusive variant like Haley. So she'll probably be a con exclusive for the summer, and after that everyone will be able to buy her at the PP on-line store..

    Huh? Haley is an online exclusive? My FLGS has two of her variant in stock. Did I misunderstand sth. or is that a weird perk of living in europe?

    I asked the PP Customer Service about her availability and got this response:
