TheSpinebuster Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 So, after looking at the art for the Bunraku in Shifting Loyalties, I was struck with something that's been bothering me - specifically, that they appear to be marionettes and not actual Bunraku puppets, which have a totally different style. Am I alone in this? I was super excited by the idea of animated bunraku, but the fact that they've got those strings has made me frown a bit.

Rurouni Benshin Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Truthfully speaking, I haven't seen what a real bunraku looked like until recently. While the strings take a little away from the authenticity of what it's original concept appears, I'm reminded that Malifaux is a game based on real life concepts and ideas, but put forth with Wyrd's own interpretation of it. Not necessarily a deal breaker for me, but I'm having more trouble finding how the models would work in a TT crew than anything. They have their uses, but nothing about them really "wow" me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSpinebuster Posted May 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 As a total 10 Thunders newbie (and really, Malifaux newbie in general) that's the least of my trouble! I'm still figuring out how to use the models I have to their full effect let alone future ones. I'll agree a lot of their tricks seem more Neverborn strong, though.

Rurouni Benshin Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Agreed. It's "Puppet" subtype benefits Collodi obviously. Maybe we'll know more as Wave 4 slowly makes it's way out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duront Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 It's a problem with a lot of the ten thunders models, like the jorogumo art looks nothing like its yokai namesake. I remember in the beta for wave 2 shenlong was basically a fire breathing western style dragon until people said that's not what Asian dragons are like. I don't know if its ignorance of the source material or they try to steampunk/goth it up. I agree I think the bunraku art is really bad and will be proxying if the model looks like that.
