What would you like to see for Gremlins?

[Math Mathonwy]

Imagine that book five would bring more models (an amazing concept, I know!). What sorts of models would you like for Gremlins?

I would like Drunken Tri-Chi Pigs. A cross between Moon Shinobi and Piglets, essentially.

I would also like Calamity Janelle, a Henchwoman that boost Bayou Bushwhackers by giving them Focus in an Aura whenever she Focuses and confers Bayou Two-Card to them.

Or, if you'd prefer to list Upgrades (perhaps Limited ones for Masters), feel free to tell us about them, too.

From the Shadows: This model may be deployed anywhere on the board that is at least 6” away from the enemy Deployment Zone. This model may not take Interact Actions on the first Turn.

Not what I Expected: When this model is killed or sacrificed it doesn't drop any markers, instead summon 2 Moon Shinobi within 1" before removing it. These Moon Shinobi suffer 3 damage each which can not be reduced.

Cloud of Filth: After succeeding all models in 2 gain the Poison +1 condition

 Kaboom: After succeeding target suffers 1/3/4 damage

(1) Too Much of a Good Thing (Ca 5 / TN: 12/ Rst: Wp / Rg: 8): After succeeding, the target suffers damage equal to its Poison Condition value. Remove the Poison Condition from the target.

Tactical Actions

(0) Go Go Drunken Ninja Rockets (Ca 5 / TN: 11) place this model anywhere up to 5". This action must declare a trigger

 That's Not Right: After placing this model, this model gains the burning +1 condition.

Too Much Gas: Before placing this model, all models within 3 gain the poison +1 condition

 Just Ease Off The ... Ops: After placing this model, all models within 3 gain the poison +1 condition

 Mushroom Cloud: Until the end of the Turn, the area within 3 of this model is considered Ht 3 Soft Cover.

Also, really liking the suggestions here! Great stuff!

MalifauxVE's avatar also reminds be - more Gremlin swamp voodoo stuff!

[Bazlord_Prime]

Feral swamp-chickens. When they are reduced to 0 wounds they get to "Run Around Headless", doing one final charge at the nearest target.

A sentient Quicksand Monster, that creates hazardous terrain nearby.

A Henchman modelled after Cajun chef Paul Prudhomme, who can BBQ Pigs and Gators (or any swampfiends), for healing or luring effects.

But yes - also, ANY extra Tri Chi. Another Enforcer would be great. Maybe "The Sheriff", who gets to do various things to models with Poison on them, like "Breath-test", "Walk the straight line", and "You talkin' back to me, boy?". Oh - plus "A night in the cells", and "Dep-yoo-tee Hog".

Okay - with that last one, I've changed my mind. I think the Gremlins need a Swamp-Sheriff Master, who's a pastiche of all the inept southern lawmen from eighties tv & movies such as Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane (Dukes of Hazzard), and J.W. Pepper (Live & Let Die). He could have his own cadre of deputised Gremlins, and who knows? Maybe they could all ride around on hogs... ;-)

The beagle needs a defensive trigger:

"Condescending Laugh" When a Sh attack fails against this model, it gains +1 Df to subsequent Sh attacks until end of turn.  

[Four_N_Six]

I have fun with him, but people still seem extremely underwhelmed with the Brewmaster.  So an extra model or upgrade to make him more reliable would be great.  Maybe something to buff the range on Drinking Contest, or a reliable way to hand out poison at range.  The Akaname were an attempt, but I don't think it quite landed where they wanted them to.  More in the kill Brewmaster style play, or in 10T Brewmaster.  Maybe a huge hog (or another swamp animal, as has been suggested) with a barrel of whiskey around its neck.

A friend and I also had an idea for a master that they sort of did with Sandeep, but not quite what we were thinking.  We're thinking of a Summoner (Pathfinder character class), Synthesist archetype.  Essentially in Pathfinder, there's a class called a summoner that summons an Eidolon as its pet.  But as you level the character, there are points you get to spend to turn the thing into literally whatever you want (4 arms with a bow?  Go for it).  I designed mine like the creature from "The Host," but you can do anything.  Instead of summoning a separate creature, however, a synthesist summons its Eidolon like a spirit suit of armor around himself and controls it that way.  We want a master like that.  So instead of summoning creatures, it gets the ability to summon stuff onto itself and give it a flexible selection of actions to spend its AP on.  Maybe another gremlin gets Wong's bag and goes a different route with it than him?  Maybe those taxidermists get a little extra experimental?

An oversized toad could fit it! 

Toads are famous for loving swamps and similar habitats, one of their peculiarity is that they secerne poison as a defensive mechanism and there are none at the moment in malifaux.

So it could be an enforcer, maybe with unimpeded, a defensive triggers which can deal poison +1 after resolving (somewhat similar to whiskey golem's one), and perfect camouflage. Than it should have a good melee attack (since tri-chi lacks of some beaters) with something like Ml5 and 3/4/5 (or melee 6 with 2/4/6 and poison+1 builted in) and a slow trigger plus maybe another one (can't think of any which could be nice) and also a tactical/attack action similar to the pine box of dead marshals, that consist in the toad eating the target and spitting him at the end of the activation/turn/next activation (would be funny if it would start maybe at 7 for ht1 models, 6 for ht2 and 5for ht 3 etc, since the bigger they are, the harder they are to gobble up ), maybe with a ram&mask trigger that says "give it a taste" which allows a damage flip.

And to finish it off probably leap as a 0 and some healing (amphibious tend to have good regeneration).

I'd like a more reliable lure in faction, so maybe something like "Pretty colors" on a giant toad, and they have a modified pounce like "Lick the toad" or something that gives poison instead of a free Ml attack.

It could be an alligator snapping turtle! They're nicknamed Mud dragons, they tend to live in muddy swamps and attract preys with their "tongue" while hiding in the mud of the swamP, so it could fit both the "monster characteristics and the hazardous (maybe better if severe) terrain  

Also turtles are cool  and since gremlins live in the richest biome for animal species, would be cool to have more thematic beasts running around

Oh that would be so cool!  or a debuff condition called "hypnotic gaze" similar to swill (all hail the hypno toad!)

It's not exactly what you're looking for, but I had a go at making a Detective Gremlin Master a while back. He's more kind of a pastiche of noir/detective stereotypes, but there's some cop stuff in there.

My wishes are simple:

A master for Sparks, The Mechanized Porkchop, and the Survivors. (Gremlin Arcanist, that can utilize Scrap Markers).

A henchman that turns dying Bayou Gremlins into low cost summoned spirits or undead.

An upgrade that allows Giant Skeeters to Cast Sooey!, returning their previous edition use as Air Traffic Controllers.

Although I did it a bit different from your vision for one, mine's more a support piece intended to help Moon Shinobis out a little bit. I love the idea of a trigger to bury & then unbury enemies but I ended up leaving that out because I felt like there was too much going on.

Insignificant: This model may not take Interact actions.

All I want is a Taxidermist Master and a book full of new stuffed animals for him to summon and blow up.

This is actually a cool idea for a model  I would had put 6 in defense actually since it deals no damages and maybe tone it down to 6 stones! But could be really cool if they were like a tag team, one poison dart frog (which is the one with bright colors and allucinating)  and one mean bull toad

Some what like the 2 "bodyguards" for the brewmaster or ,even better, the guardians of the way of the moonshine  which has some shinobi-esque feeling (like the toads in naturo to make an example).

In any case you made me want to "theorize" the one I sudjested a lil more in details, so I'll give it a shot

[anumberone]

 I love these ideas, especially ninja piglets. That can only be a good thing. The gremlin vignette in book 4 made it seem likely we'd  get something pork related.

  I'd love an upgrade to summon wild boars, a Bayou Two Card upgrade (mAh!!!) and an upgrade to summon zombie Bayou gremlins for Zoraida.

 For models I'd like to see zombie Bayou gremlins, attack goats and another 50mm hench pig for Ulix. Maybe one that gives out different  equally useful bonuses so Old Major isn't a must take with Ulix.

[Somnicide]

After the last couple of games, I have decided that I would like more bayou two card (as mentioned above - for Mah crew especially since she discards so many cards), and I would love a minion with Flay.

The Doctor: Gremlins/Arcanists

Well that was messy...: This model is immune to explosive demise. 

Don't die on me!: All Gremlins within 3 aura gain Hard to kill

At least not yet: Whenever a Gremlin with 3 is reduced to (1) wound, this model may push in base contact and take a (1) action

Now that is Beautiful!: Should this model fail a horror duel, it gains reactivate instead of paralyze 

(1) Bonesaw: 1 tn(?) deal 1/1/2 damage

Back and forth!: Immediately take this action again. This next attack may declare triggers 

(1) Let's get you patched up!: TN (?) Heal 2?3/4 damage on a friendly model. This ability must declare triggers if able. 

Ignore the ticking...: The target model gain explosive demise 3, on this model is immediately killed on turn 5. Should the target gain this ability after turn five, instantly kill it.

Scars will heal right?: The target model gains terrifying (all) 12. The target must pass a TN 12 horror duel every time is activates 

 ???

I always wanted to try that!: All models within 12 and line of sight must pass a TN 10 Horror duel, sacrifice the target.
