Build-a-Master (Reuse)

[Douglas Scoundrels]

Hello! I need some community feedback for my next podcast episode.

 

We do a segment where we come up with ideas for new models with restrictions placed on ourselves by other hosts. We also come up with a restriction for the community to build a model around. The plan is to eventually do a model for each station and faction combination in the game.

 

We first did an Arcanist Peon, then a 10 Thunders minion. Now we're getting into the deep end with designing a Master for the Resurrectionists. I know that adding a new master to the game is the last thing most of you want to see, but I assure you this is just for fun and to get the creative juices going. The community restriction this time is rather simple, but a bit wordy.

 

Every master comes in a thematic crew box with models that work with the master in a fluffy and mechanical level. We want you to take a box of models in the Resurrectionist faction that currently can't be found in any crew box (Drowned, Crooked Men, Hanged, etc). You must design the master with the caveat that these models will be included in it's 'crew box' and thus must be thematic to the master.

You can flesh out the master as much as you wish. It can be as simple as a few concepts for actions, or as complicated as filling out an entire card and designing the crew box. We'll go through as many here as we can, and I'll post a link to the episode when it goes up.

Thanks a bunch for your help.

A quick question, would models such as Night Terrors work, since they are incapable of taking interact actions?

That's perfectly fine.

There was an idea floated around recently about a Gremlin master that was a nod to House of 1000 Corpses and The Hills Have Eyes.  Backwoods humans living with the gremlins in the swamp and just cutting people to shreds.  I initially thought it would be better as Gremlin/Outcast, but it could work as a Gremlin/Resser as well.

My biggest thing about a crew like that is they should be based around using stealth.  Some way of burying and appearing to do a melee attack or short range shoot, with some added damage for "sneak attacking."  This could work as just a resser as well, I like the idea of stealth in Malifaux.

Using The Drowned as the models that don't currently come in a crew box.

The master known only as The Captain is the spirit of a sea captain, an undead relic from the Age of Sail. He and his shipmates sailed through a minor and unstable breach during a storm. That brought them to Malifaux, but they were changed as they came through. The made landfall in this unknown world and slowly died one by one. Now in undeath, the Captain summons back those who served with him using the soulstone energy of those he kills.

He has an aura similar to Jaakuna Ubume to make terrain around him hazardous. If something dies because of that hazardous terrain check, he can discard a card or a soulstone to summon a Drowned in base contact before that model is removed from play. He has a medium range, medium damage pistol shot, and uses his ghostly Nautical Saber in close combat, ignoring armor - it will also have a trigger to turn an enemy model into a Drowned when it gets to zero wounds. His other main attack is a cast "Call of the Sea", with various nautical related trigger names to do some already in-faction actions - e.g. Lure, Obey, Slow. He is Incorporeal and Hard to Wound, but probably only 8 wounds or so to balance it out. He comes with two Limited upgrades: one to make him more combat focused (Cold Iron Saber) probably with some extra triggers on damage, and one to make him more of support piece (Boatswain's Whistle) to help buff or push nearby models.

His totem is his cabin boy, Lucky Pete, who can be used to increase the range of The Captain's Call of the Sea by being able to draw Rg/LoS from Pete. Pete can also take a 1 AP tactical action  to put up a 3" aura so that friendly undead can take Interact actions while engaged.

Rounding out the crew box is Morgan, a Henchman who was the first mate on their ill-fated ship. She has Resilience +2 and Hard to wound and 8 or 9 wounds. She's more of a support Henchman than a beatstick, but survivable as you can see. She has a reasonable Ml attack that will ignore armor and a similar reasonable ranged attack. She also has a couple of zero actions "Captain on Deck!" that pushes a friendly leader toward her and Holler Orders which allows a model within 8" to push 2" and take a 1 AP interact. She has a 6" aura "Get a move on!" which gives friendly minions +1 Wk/Cg, and an upgrade Surgeon's Blades that gives her a 1 AP heal, and a Ml attack that can declare a continuous repeat attack on a Mask (similar to Blessed of December).

The crew box is probably called something along the lines of Murder Cove.

What existing minions/enforcers box would you use?

Maybe Akaname and work some sort of poison in? Not as quite like McMourning, but maybe they poison their weapons somehow. Immune to poison damage (not the condition) themselves, and maybe get +1 damage based on their poison value. It's hard to pick existing models since the original thought was back woods humans, and gremlins don't have that much yet. 

From Ressers I'd think the drowned or the hanged. Spirits that were killed and left abandoned in the bayou.

I was thinking about this today and had a weird idea - what about an upgrade that let him take (undead) Wokou Raiders out of faction?  And maybe that gave friendly Drowned/keyworded models some ability that penalized enemies for having friendly (to them) scheme markers nearby?

Are you perhaps thinking of Dead Outlaws? They're the Outcast Undead Bandits, whereas Wokou Raiders are living Ninja/Bandit hybrids. Unless you meant to unlock Wokou Raiders AND give them the Undead characteristic with the upgrade as well?

I like the idea for this captain of yours @godswearhats. He would need another name, though, as there's currently an Arcanist henchman literally called "The Captain", too. 

Lucky Pete & Morgan both sound interesting enough, but perhaps they could have some synergy/support for the hazardous terrain subtheme. Morgan has some similarities to Sybelle when you look at their kits.

The only reservations I have is automatic Armour-ignoring attacks on both the master and his henchman is a bit oppressive. Maybe consider having only one of their attacks ignore Armour, or both their attacks ignore Armour, but only on triggers?

Yeah, I was thinking that Wokou Raiders hired through the upgrade would trade Living for Undead, like with Tara and Death Marshals.

[LordZombie]

I have an idea for a master for Ressers that I use in my TTB games often. Unlike other masters, she does not summon but is a brawler character. She use her hate toward men as her magic and buffs her minions by dealing damage to them. Her totem would be her own daughter, or the spirit of her daughter. Her minion could be Guild Autopsy and maybe her henchmen would be a Henchmen Guild Autopsy. That is all I have for now. I just walked in from work. lol

Sticks the Graveherd

When Sticks was a boy he suffered recurring nightmares of being buried alive. These dreams grew more vivid with time, afflicting him with claustrophobia and insomnia. When he was able, he took a job as a gravedigger and tried to sooth his mind by exhuming the very bodies he buried, placing them somewhere they would not be trapped in darkness. He traveled to Malifaux in search of his fortunes and a hope of escape, but the dreams followed. One evening he awoke from a vivid nightmare and found his hands bloodied and ruined, his broken fingernails caked with grave dirt. With only his lantern and shovel, he fled to a nearby cemetery and desperately exhumed the body of a man he'd buried the day before. As he reached the coffin, he heard the panicked knocking from within and pried the wood away, freeing the "newborn" draugr Obadiah. 

Since then Sticks has gathered a sizable congregation of draugr, most rescued personally, others drawn to him by their need for kinship and a place to belong. Most see Sticks as a rescuer and father-figure, and gladly follow him. Appearing as hooded reapers, these "Ferrymen" wield cleaving shovels and eldritch lanterns to wage a secret war against the monsters of Malifaux, fighting fire with fire, horror with horror. And Sticks has never slept better.

Sticks is a supporting Master, and his Crew is built around endurance, soaking in obscene amounts of damage while steadily weakening opposing crews. His Ferryman Lantern grants major buffs to Draugr models, specifically their ability to regenerate damage, but only at close range. His Corpse Shovel allows him to quickly Bury and Unbury allied units, granting them rapid regeneration and removing most conditions that normally wouldn't be removed by Burying them. Looks So Peaceful grants most models in Sticks' Crew the ability to Bury an opponent when they land a killing blow, preventing them from using abilities that would normally activate in the event of their death. Finally, Sticks' Second Death ability allows him to destroy Corpse and/or Scrap Markers; the more Markers he removes in this manner the stronger his buffs become, making him an absolute terror to Crews that depend on such Markers to remain a threat in combat.

So long as she has a "Triggered" trigger. Because, y'know, 50 cent and all heard you like triggers.

My choice would be Gaki. Their model is gorgeous, but their rules are so underwhelming. You'd rarely hire or purposefully summon them. They seem to just be a sort of by-the-way addition to Kirai & Datsue Ba's actions, and Kirai who does it from behind a big screen of spirits anyway. I would want a master that gets stuck in there with his fellow Gaki. Plus everyone despises Kirai.

Thus, my master concept is someone who favours up close and personal fighting, personifies hunger/greed/ambition/ and happens to work well with Gaki. 

Stats - something along the lines of:
Df6 / Wp5 / Wd13 / Wk4 / Cg 5 / Ht2

Abilities:
Unimpeded
Impossible to Wound +1
Insatiable - At the start of this model's activation, if an enemy model has less Wounds than their Wd stat is within 10", this model adds +3 to their Cg stat until the end of the turn, and may push 3" towards the nearest enemy model in LoS. 
Hyperphagia - When a model is killed or sacrificed within 4", this model may be placed in base contact before removing it, and heals 2 Wounds.

Actions:

(1) Craving's Bane (Ml 6 / Rst: Df / Rg: 2): Target suffers 2/4/6 damage. If the target has less Wounds than their Wd stat, this Action gains  on the Attack flip.

Would be nice to have a trigger that gives the target a condition that grants Hard to Kill to all Gaki as long as they remain within 8" of it.

Not sure where else it'd go.

Resser/Neverborn dual faction

The game is "missing" some kind of Vampire. A Neverborn/Resser would fit that at best.

Some Resser who got the black blood granted like Angel Eyes or something.

He can special Hire Showgirl minions and have interactions with them. You know... like Dracula and his girls.

He can feast on enemy blood or Showgirl Blood to regenerate.

I actually created something like that way back in 1st edition. Managed to find it and updated it:

General storyline (finer details not worked out):

Charlotte Eville was a good person...once. Earthside, they called her 'vampire' and cast her out from society. When the breach was first opened, she jumped at the chance to go through. A new beginning, a new life, a new outlook. It was everything she wanted and more. She was respected instead of shunned for her abilities, and granted a plentiful supply of donated blood to feed upon.

When the incident that closed the breach happened, she somehow managed to survive the massacre. However, upon returning to and exploring the streets of Malifaux, she couldn't find a single living soul. Within a few days, she began to grow hungry, and realised that if she wanted to survive, there was only one option.

Feed on the natives.

The blood was foul-tasting but filling enough, but over time it began to...twist her. She began to resent the living, then to hate them. The Natives of the land came to know of her existence, and took to hiding themselves at night in fear of her. Eventually, her negative emotions took over, manifesting themselves in nearby creatures, turning them into manifestations of her twisted mind.

Upon the re-opening of the breach, Charlotte, devoid of all that made her who she was before, had only one thing on her mind...feeding time.
