  1. I'm starting to work up house rules for Puppets I want to add to my PW game. First up are Stitched Togethers (using "Bear-ly Togethers") and the Widow Weaver (Mysterious Effigy with a parasol added and some fine lines carved at the limb joints to give a more "puppety" look).

    I haven't done any playtesting with them yet and haven't played PW in general in a while, but if anyone wants to give them a shot (or you just see something obvious that I should change) and let me know what you think, I'd REALLY appreciate it. I'll update once I get some games in with them.

    THANKS

    This is awesome!
    I have also gotten my local plastic pusher to print some workbenches and I have bought these STL files to proxy some of the other puppets:

    https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-puppet-masters-show-12-models-with-stats-and-illustrations-pre-supported-169626

    Although not the exact same, it is good and evil enough to fit in the Puppet Wars universe. 
    I am also going to look into converting some of the 2. edition malifaux cards to be missions for Puppet Wars and make it so you can "buy" upgrades instead of sacrificing puppets. I think this will give it a little more depth for my group :) 

    Did you end up printing any of those "Puppet Masters Show" miniatures? "The Puppet Master Final" looks like it would make a great "Puppet Collodi" (if you had house rules for him) if the mini is small enough.

  3. So, I've been on and off with Puppet Wars for years. I was here for the first launch, buying, trading and selling puppets here on the forums, painting, planning custom pieces, etc. I got excited with Unstitched, then disappointed when they didn't put out any expansions, finally just selling my puppets and moving on to other things.

    I finally got my act together now (8 years later?!) and started working on my set in earnest. I picked up 2 copies of Unstitched and at least 1 of most metals (other than Colette, Cassandra and the Teddies), with plans for house rules for the Widow Weaver ( a converted Mysterious Effigy) and Stitched Togethers (using the "Bear-ly Together" alternate minis). I also want custom-made work benches and impassable terrain pieces.

    So, step 1 complete: my work benches are finished. I have my impassable terrain mostly assembled, just need final assembly and painting, so I'll do a post for them soon, too. Hope you guys enjoy and hope Wyrd eventually comes to their senses and starts supporting this game again!

    Well, in either way, I am actually trying to revive this forum a bit. I am going to play this game with some different friends, bring it to my local community, and then I will start to answer some of the unanswered questions. Now, I am no superhero in figuring out combos or lineups for games, but perhaps it will encourage others to show some of their work or thoughts behind the strategies they use :) It is a long shot, but if the community would thrive a bit more, they might just start prioritizing this....

    I'm with you, Lucky! - I'd love to see life get breathed back into PW and some tactics/strategies would be great. It's a shame someone hasn't spearheaded a project like PullMyFinger for Puppet Wars. :(

  5. If anyone's interested, I'm selling off my Collodi warband, led by (I believe) the first Collodi conversion ever done giving him longer fingers. Included are 2 Stitched Togethers, 4 Marionettes and 7 Wicked Dolls (i.e. a selection Puppet Wars miniatures on Malifaux bases):

    Also, my Nightmare Teddy and Regular Teddy conversions. Nightmare is holding 2 Soul Stones on a chain and the other Teddy has his head replaced by the alternate "Nightmare" head. Object-source lighting on both of these minis:

  6. Awesome, better than the original.

    A lot of work with cutting and to filling it, huh?

    Nice Work! I too am curious how much of a pain it was.

    Cutting the original at shoulder level leaves the bottom half of the mouth on the mini's chest. After attaching the NM head I had to do a bit of green stuff work on the front and a little on the back. I actually made a green stuff mold of the Teddy's fur to patch in under his chin, but had to do some real sculpting at the seam. I definitely like my sculpting better than the stuff from the mold - I should've done it all that way. Overall wasn't terribly difficult (broke one jeweler's saw blade, but was probably being a bit careless).

    I did the same thing a while ago, only used the grinning head. I think those nightmare heads are actually better as the original one is terribly flat. Excellent job on the painting, really like how your Teddy turned out.

    Yours was the one I saw that inspired me, Viruk - thanks for the idea!

  7. I finally got around to painting up my Nightmare Teddy. I thought he was done until I realized that when I matte-coated the base I did it too thick and all the stones turned to a grey mess. So, I washed them black and will repaint them tomorrow, but I figured I'd go ahead and post him.

    I did a slight conversion on him - I wanted him to be carrying a couple of large soulstones on a chain. I attempted some object source lighting on the eyes, stones and the street lamp behind him. Scultped the cobblestone base similar to what I did with my Collodi (http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?24992-Collodi-WIP) and Wicked Dolls (http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?25570-quot-Puppet-Wars-quot-Wicked-Dolls-for-Collodi) - I plan on him joining their crew along with another Teddy I'm converting (putting the alternate NM Teddy head on a regular Teddy) either with the Weaver Widow or without her in 2.0 if Collodi's hiring restrictions are eased up some as a Master.

    Anyway:

  8. Has anyone done an Arcane Effigy conversion yet? I'm interested in what other people's thoughts were for it before I jump into my own. Please feel free to post some pics or ideas.

    I just put an order in for an Electrical Creation

    image.php?type=T&id=16307

    and a Gremlin Taxidermist image.php?type=T&id=16358

    that I plan to use as the basis for mine, along with various tomes, scrolls and thin banner strips that I have left over from my old Scribes of Tzeentch conversion. There's some necron parts in my bitz bins I can use for the mechanical-looking arms. Hey, maybe I'll actually have a use now for Collodi's old stubby fingers! I plan to make a smaller tome out of plasticard for his face. Once I get the mini's delivered I'll throw up a WIP post.

  9. In case anyone's interested (and I'm at work bored out of my skull), here's some of the models I've done in the past for Warhammer Fantasy.

  10. I want a 35ss list that keeps Collodi as it's only master (i.e. no Zoraida - I'm holding off using her at least until her alternate sculpt has its general public release.)

    Here's a couple of lists I'm thinking about. Either one of these the least bit viable as an "all comers" list?

    Collodi (2ss)

    Arcane Effigy

    Marionettes x4

    Stitched Togethers x2

    Weaver Widow

    Wicked Dolls x3

    or

    Collodi (0ss)

    Arcane Effigy

    Marionettes x4

    Stitched Togethers x3

    Wicked Dolls x5

    I have some ideas for my Arcane Effigy conversion, so I'd really like to include him if I can. I also have some thoughts for a Mysterious Effigy conversion, but I'm not totally sold on him....
