SpiralngCadavr Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 To make this absolutely clear as the first thing people see, I'm not talking about anything like a tournament setting, just casual play. So, I guess the thing is, my interest in Arcanists has only ever been tepid at best. But I got all excited about the carnival crew so have the whole set, and would like to use them in a faction I actually enjoy, and I frankly don't feel like the showgirls really represent a crew as sinister as they feel. With that in mind... what crew would you proxy the Carnival as? My thoughts... (Guild doesn't feel right; Gremlins would just be too weird; I didn't think of any TT that spoke to me, Arcanists have the set they already would fit) Seamus or Leveticus with an undead carnival seems possible? Collodi seems like probably the strongest choice, since the coryphee and mannequins wouldn't need any work, and Cooper's hands could easily be holding sinister puppet strings. But there are quite a few living pieces in the carnival that don't particularly feel like they'd fit the puppet set. Lucius could be another weird one- creepy Penguins don't feel that far off from mimics. Leveticus can also run the coryphee/mannequins, has a trio of light-weight totems, and there's enough outcast variety that the rest seem like they could fit in a sub-optimal crew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Paint the exposed skin parts like wood, paint articulation points, voila, you have Collodi proxy models. The monkeys can be your marionette, the performers can be Lelu & Lilitu or Mannequins, Lola is your Widow Weaver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeblee Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Nothing says you *have* to use Cooper as a master proxy. If I had forked over the money for the box, I was going to use Thin Lizzy as a Beckoner. You could probably use the strong man (can't remember his name) as Mr. Graves without much argument. I was planning on using the flying monkeys as Terror Tots, but you could totally run Lola as Coppelius and make the monkeys Alps. For the main man Cooper? Either another Beckoner or maybe Tannen. If you go with the Cooper = Collodi, then you could use the monkeys as Marionettes (unless you want to stick with the actual puppets). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Guys, does anybode have photos of the unboxed translucent red Dark Carnival? It can be photos of the sprues, doesn't matter - just to give a sight of the plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 What about Dreamer? Monkeys as Daydreams, then Performers as Lelu and Lilitu, Mannequins as Stitched Togethers, Cooper as Dreamer - all you need is Chompy and I'm sure you can find something suitable. Baritone Lola could be Widow Weaver or Insidious Madness I suppose. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Thanks, all, for the responses-- Grim- I'll need to look at the minis again, think they might be too organic looking for that, but it might work zeeblee, hadn't considered that angle- I could see that. Math, good idea, the only issue there is I've already got a dreamer crew I've put a lot of energy into and I wasn't thinking I'd work with a reskin of a crew I already have.

zeeblee Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Glad I could shake it up a bit! Another alternative: paint the all ghosty whisp-like and run em as Sorrows with your favorite standing in for Pandora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda want to get a second Cooper to go on the base too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
