Jokerboy Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Is there any way to play a 10T Emissary, if there are no proxies allowed? Since there are no Avatar Models available I guess there is no way.... So are 10T the only faction which is not able to field an Emissary?

BigHammer Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I built one for myself. "Official" proxy status is something that is rarely heavily enforced, and certainly has never been an issue at any event I've attended where the actual model wasn't yet available. Now shh, he's sleeping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 If your TO has actually said no proxies, then you are correct in that there is no officially legal TT Avatar to use as a Emissary, as the original Avatar sculpts and rules came out a year before Storm of Shadows officially added TT to the game as anything other than a characteristic. However most TOs seem to be somewhat relaxed in regards to proxies if a model hasn't been officially released, as Bighammer mentioned. However as said if you have already asked your TO, or if you are just looking for an absolutist answer in regards to the letter of the rules in Gaining Grounds, then you are correct. TT has no officially legal proxy to use as an emissary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythicFOX Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 A conversion should still be possible though. Mixing parts from Dawn Serpent / Razorspine Rattler / Seisin and decent basing will go a long way here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradigm Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Personally I just bought the old Sonnia Creed Avatar and removed Sonnia Creed. Then you've got a big dragon on a 50mm base that is completely made of Wyrd-parts. It's expensive and a bloody pain to build, but it works perfectly as a Shadow Emissary.

Rurouni Benshin Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I use this as my Shadow Emissary. It's the "Young Fire Dragon" by Reaper, and comes in bare white. I based it on a 50mm very easily, and then painted it green. Stands about as high as a Ht 3 model would as well. Overall, a very well accepted proxy from the TO's I've shown this to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDeathTrout Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 When I'm TO, I would allow any appropriate model for any model there is no general release (e.g. not just a black Friday pre-release) for. For me an appropriate model is on the correct base size and would not confuse your opponent. For the shadow emissary I'd allow any dragon that didn't represent another Malifaux model (e.g. I'd reject a Dawn Serpent) unless it is a conversion. But you'd have to check with your TO for a specific event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woo Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 It's Mizuchi from GCT's Bushido http://www.bushido-thegame.com/catalog/mizuchi-awakened Cheers, Woo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicGis Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Bushido has a solid range... I use their Models as Komainu since the new ones have too much of a weird pose for me and are hard to rework...I bought them though just to show of if some TO decides to be a douche... This Model actually looks similar to the pick in the book maybe also pick it up till the release 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necromancy Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I bought a griffon from WarmaHordes to represent the Carrion Emissary for Ressers. ...but apparently our store has a brutal "No proxies in Tournaments under any circumstances" rule...

Well, as a Ressers player, you do have access to some Avatars, which are legal proxies for the Emissaries, as per Wyrd. Barring that, I would try reasoning with the TO, since Wyrd has explicitly mentioned that proxies (within reason) are allowable. At least it doesn't hurt to ask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freman Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Unfortunately they never released a Ten Thunders avatar model, so it's more difficult to find a proxy for the Shadow Emissary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapdancer Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 What's the wording on the avatar effergy proxy rules. Does it specify the avatar has to be from the played faction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Yes. For example, officially, you cannot use Kirai's avatar model as an emissary in anything other than the resser's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
