Rabbitknight Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Man I'm glad the avatars are legal proxies. I really hate the donkey. This and the gremlin one are just too rediculous compared to the other emissaries. The bonus preview is intriguing. New swampfiends maybe? Will-o-wisps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiralngCadavr Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I think it's an impressive model, but IDK if it really fits my aesthetic for the faction (outcasts definitely have western covered, but none really feel goofy). Those other things are pretty cool, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunarSol Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hodgepodge still isn't exactly what I want from an Emissary, but I think the model fits the way it plays very well and will work out that way quite well in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengt Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Emissary is terrible as expected. No real opinion on the bonus. Might be more interesting with context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho of Rime Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Love the Hodgepodge so much. Great job guys. I personally think think the Hodge looks exactly like it plays. Plays great. That uh.. That underneath thing... Seems like someone is going to get a lure. Gremlins or ressers? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I simply don't understand Hodgepodge Emissary's concept. Others get evolved Effigies (or a Dragon or a weird Scythe-Bull) that all look menacing and look to have the battlefield presence that a 10SS monster should have. They also all mesh somewhat well into their Factions and into the Masters therein. But then the Outcasts get an old man on a cartoon donkey. It doesn't seem to fit in with any of the Outcast Masters. It does, arguably, fit together with Aionus in that it is an old man riding something random but other than that it's completely random. As a model it is actually rather nice, I think. If it wasn't for Malifaux gaming I would like it quite a lot. The largest sack on top is the only part I'm not very fond of. The other three look good. And certainly very different than I though but in a really good way. Thank you Dirial! (Thank you Wyrd as well) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Love the Emissary! I think it looks exactly how it plays, and I like that it's both playful and the guy on top looks like he's seen... things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apes-ma Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I love the emissary - it has a strong vibe, like a friendly travelling salesman you'd regret saying no to. Like the tinkerers in the Kingkiller books! It's looks like it will be a royal pain to assemble though ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably just putting that more as of an indication that you've spotted a connection they (Wyrd staff) may have intended. Also, I got into this thread, and the first thing I saw was the Angler Fish, and I was like "Did I read the title wrong?" But then I read the 2 lines of text, and it made more sense I wonder if those things are underwater. They'd fit in just fine with the creepy things at the bottom of the sea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carecalmo Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Magical fairies! Cheerful little beings that will play with us and make us laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh. I am sure everything will be just fine, as long as you remember to smile. I really like the Hodgepodge for how very much Outcast it is. The travelling salesman is always a stranger and the model conveys that very well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 So, let's speculate. First off, it has a M2E logo on it, so I going to take a wild guess and say it's not for through the Breach or another system. I know guys, I'm going here into crazyland... Since no current release would fit such model I'm taking a wild guess and say nightmare crew. NOOOOW, since we all know that Guild is getting (another) Nightmare Crew, where the 'eff do you see that fit? [taking balnks here] AND much more important, do we have to paint that glowy butt, too, to use them legally in tournaments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munindk Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 There's three of them and they all glow... Illuminated for an alternate Lynch box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Caroland Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hah. Point to you. I actually had to go look up what you meant on that as it's not a commonly used term here in the states, but let me just say 'thanks' for the damn images that popped up on my browser. Bleah. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 So I went down the Guild boxes that come with three minions: The Relic Hunters; The Torch and the Blade and The Guild's Judgement. Nathan disqualified Perdita, Lucius don't have three minions of a kind in his box and the same guess for Hoffmann and McMourning. Going further; Lady Justice had once a Dead Justice Crew (Metal) and Wastels had been made Misses... so all points to a Nightmare Sonnia Criid Box and these are Nightmare Witchling Stalkers... *hangs up random newspaperclips on the wall and connects them with red threads* You just have to read the signs!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
