Perhaps we are the same person? But, the most important argument that you are missing? Jacques Cousteau pluralized it as Octopuses. And he likes under water things. So I'm sticking with his version, plus I like the way it sounds. So long as we agree on the need of more cephalopods in Malifaux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lusciousmccabe Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I think they should be printed with a special rule that dictates how you refer to them in multiples, just so we're all on the same page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever your preferences are as to how you care to pluralize octopus, whether it be octopuses, octopi, or octopodes, I think we can all agree we need more of them in Malifaux. Also, conversations as to the finer points on cephalopod nomenclature are why the Malifaux community never ceases to amuse me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungering Derpness Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Any octopus based miniatures are clearly the lovechild of Coppelus and the Nothing Beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treadhead1944 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 If you place 3 Octopodes within 3" will you get a cephalopod swarm? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munindk Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Nightmare Marcus should have a summoning upgrade, with options to summon either octopi, octopuses or octopodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solkan Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I think you practically have to go with all three: Octopi (counts as Sabertooth Cerberus) Octopuses (counts as Razerspine Spitter) Octopodes (counts Hoarcat Pride) You won't have the proper grammatical flavor otherwise.
