Can someone fill a noob in on the Emissaries - Since there's an "Emissary of Fate" characteristic - does that mean there's a master that can take and/or synergize with multiple emissaries? It was hard enough resisting the TT when they had 1 dragon... I just don't think I can do it if they have two dragons.

I was very torn between voting Gremlins or TT as well. I'd be really interested in seeing your opinions and approaches to both of the factions (and both have a neverborn dual-faction master...). But in the end voted TT because I think there's going to be a lot more chatter about Gremlins with their new releases out now, while the TT will still be somewhat under appreciated. Although I second the call for pink Gremlins if you do go that route

Love the approach! Amazing job on the bases and the painting on the ice - especially the cracks under the feet and whatnot. What did you use to create the icicles? Also love the warpaint on Marcus, really changes the model's whole vibe and helps balance the dark skin town against the cool base. Great choice in color palette all around

Love the job with Mei Feng! The base really integrates seemelessly with the wood planks in the model. Great job.

That is awesome. Pics? Love this topic - I've been racking my brain trying to find good Malifauxian references lately (specifically Lynch and Neverborn) so I love to see everyone elses thoughts!

Love your work! Your choice in colors on the Seamus makes the models all really pop, and your blending and models look incredibly clean and sharp. And it looks like the Hired swords are headed right in the same direction. Look forward to seeing more!

Love the scenes you create with your basing! Can't wait to see them painted up

That's right... I hadn't thought about Gupps, too. If just one scheme runner had to be selected for either crew (trying not to buy everything), which would you lean towards? So I guess the real question is - Which is better, the tots synergy w/Lynch or the madness synergy w/Dreamer..... or are the gupps better than both? lol

What are the pros and cons of each? Specifically running them with Lynch and dreamer. I had been originally planning on holding out for madness because I liked incorporeal on them and liked the idea of the model (loved the recent renders too)... But I wonder if I should give in and just pick up the Lilith box for the tots. *cough*pokemon*cough*

Loving this crew! Great painting skills, amazing bases (I'd love to hear more details on what kind of materials/techniques you used), and I love the different approach to Marcus. Look forward to seeing more!

I agree with you on Colette. For a team of performers, I was surprised at how... static the models looked. And I probably agree on the effigies too

I don't think the specific characters have been confirmed anywhere... but between the confirmation that the box is meant to be just alternate models of the Colette box (so there must be two performers) and the fluff in the Chronicles, I had the same impression that Lizzy and Mercury were the performers. And Lola stands out a bit more so I also assume she's Cassandra.

Love the oxidized look on the Yan lo crew and the colors you went with for Brewmaster. The bold colors of their clothes make them pop and you did a great job muting the green tones of their skin appropriately. Looking forward to seeing more!

I really appreciated the debate article for the information and perspective it offered, and would love to see more. But I have to agree with previous comments that there was way too little "debate" and too much agreement to vote on a winner. I thought the story articles were excellent as well, and I think it was great to have a story to debut the nightmare crew. But after reading the Dark Carnival story, I am severely disappointed that there is no Mr. Peanuts in the Dark Carnival box

This is utterly amazing and needs to happen!

I'm still hoping Kaeris may make a gen con appearance. And I think there will be a boon in arcanist players with the dark carnival release. Colette had enough of a following as is, but that box is amazingly creepy. Well played, Wyrd.

Love the expression you captured on her face, and I think the white eyes looks great. I feel like maybe the OSL effects should be a bit brighter/more heavily highlighted though, in order to be bright enough to be lighting her arm.

Wow - that's a tough effect you're going with for the bases.... Maybe add a muddy foot print behind her? Or at least make sure there's a decent puddle of mud/melting snow by her foot to sell that's what's going on. I think you could make it work, but like you said yourself - the bases still need the most work. LOL ironically if your painting skills weren't so good, you could probably get by with bases having less detail Love the colors on the Onryo and the kimono inparticular looks like it's off to an amazing start.

Love the lady J mods and the Midas crew. Your glass effects on the beakers, tubes, and googles is really amazing - and the pallete of color you use on each crew is excellent.

I think of him more as zNeverborn at heart... Hence zFriend

Lol sorry. New avatar needed a new name?

Whew. I thought I was the only one... Although I am just as lost on zfriends references lol EDIT: I just reread what zfriends list was actually referencing... And.... I will never think of any master the same way again...

I actually picture the cobblestones for Ironsides more... Not sure why. Maybe I just imagine her brawling in the streets or something. For Lilith - with her forests, you could some kind of woodsy basing. Or if you're good with green stuff there was a guy named Tinweasel on here who was doing some pretty amazing tentacles/ether/flames coming out of the cobblestones. My all time favorite neverborn bases were on this kickstarter (the possessed bases) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coolminiornot/coolminiornot-base-system-featuring-micro-art-stud/description I'm a bit stuck on exactly how I want to do neverborn bases myself - I know I want some kind of thematic element to run through all the bases of that faction that still allows for variety from crew to crew lol.

I'll guiltily admit it was arcanists, TT, and .... *cough* Gremlins *cough* that I was most interest in see what people thought As for Ironsides - from what I've heard/read, I think the more people are trying her out, the more she is shining as a support master (and falling a bit flat if you just player as a beater) Moxy - I think the archetypes you present are excellent. I had a hard time even trying to post the question of master types because I didn't know what to include. Should summoner be listed since so many summoners are support? I hadn't thought of listing denial separate from control... etc. I think the framework you provide seems to cover most bases I can think of or what's been presented so far. Although it provides a little less information than breaking down into things like denial, obey, board control, etc up front.
