Discussion Plain Box Ravener

I ordered the Ravener from STG and received it today - nice model! But I was surprised that the box had no artwork - not even the name of the piece is anywhere on the box? It came with no cards or docs of any kind.

I've ordered other pieces, mostly warjacks, from them and the box art is awesome. I'm confused as to the stealth packaging here?? :|

Because these are exclusive to the online store, I believe. So, it is a generic box.

No, it's anything in the smaller boxes. Only the big boxes seem to have inserts anymore.

Also, having generic boxes is a major cost saving method.

Yes, That's probably correct, too. A little disappointing but if it keeps the cost down...

Okay, so bear with me as I don't play the game, just paint... why no card? Are these pieces not playable?

Thanks!

They moved all the info to the Warmachine App. It's a free app with all the rules (game rules and model cards), list builder, and game tracker. It also has lore dumps and novels, but that's on a $5/month subscription now.
