Nathan Caroland Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 So somehow my 'just because' thread got deleted when I was cleaning up a double post. Wasn't anything in there that warranted deleting that's for sure. If I can figure it out and bring it back, I'll do so .. in the mean time, grrr, please feel free to make your suggestions for Twisted Alts, etc as I originally suggested. (grumble - off to figure out what I did) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nathan Caroland Posted June 16, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 BTW, whoever suggested this one, thanks - I had forgotten about her. Not as a Twisted Alternative, but maybe something else. Holler at me if you see her in the near future. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelich Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Twisted alternative: Raspy as Elsa from Frozen? Anna and Olaf as Snowstorm, etc... (this idea may or may not be because my daughter just got the movie and thus I've seen it quite a bit recently) Some sort of wizard of Oz? (Tinman, lion, scarecrow, girl and dog -> peacekeeper, Cerberus, something, candy?) Sorry if others have listed these ideas before, I promise they are original to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solicitor 6 Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Twisted Alternatives: Goldilocks and the Three Bears Goldilocks: Candy Papa Bear: Teddy (Because Wyrd can never have too many alternate Teddys) Mama Bear: Widow Weaver (use "honey pots" in lieu of web markers) Baby Bear: Kade 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Phinn Posted June 16, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Gracie as a giant creepy snail with spiked shell, tusks and sharp teeth. Wk 4 - Snails, not even the giant ones, aren't famous for their speed. Amor +2 and Hard to Kill - Well... giant snails tend to have giant shells. Unimpeded - I mean... they can climb walls. Eat You Fill, Tusks (Tear 'em Apart, Lie Down and Nap), Take a Bite (Eat Anything) - Tusks and sharp teeth. Riled Up - Here, in Czech Republic, I am considered one of the best licensed snail behaviour consultants and if someone asked me to characterize snails in two words... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Wall Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 I had mentioned Wizard of Oz as an Outcast or Arcanist crew. Covers a master, totem, beast, construct and puppet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solkan Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 1. Puppet Lucius 2. More puppets 3. Emissary sized figures with puppet sized figures, so that your Malifaux models can have Malifaux models. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomezilla Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Not all that alternative but would probably sell like hotcakes: a 'something for everyone' mixed pack of alternative belles/performers/beckoners/oiran (with stat cards for any of these) with different aesthetics. Buff guy? check. Pin-up woman? check. So long dead you can't even tell any more? check. Extra bonus points if the undead is styled after Wyrd Chronicles #20, tall and lurching and complete with little spangly dress. We want watcher boxes!: the Illuminatus! option with flying-pyramid-with-an-eye watchers, a tellurian soulstone miner with wings, a union miner with a tinfoil hat because what's the working man without his secret society? Infiltration: all the models are two gremlins in an overcoat, or pigs stuffed into suits, trying to pass as human or Neverborn. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Scorpion and Frog. I always liked that story. Particularly liked the L5R variant. "I can Swim" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowopal Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Avatars for collodi, Jacob Lynch, von schill, Misaki, Jack Daw, Lucius, McCabe, Molly, Yan Lo (pre assembled beard for the win), ophelia, Wong, mah Tucket, Ulix, Brewmaster, Kaeris, Ironsides, Mei Feng, Shen Long plus the new Masters to bring everyone up to date with the campaign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakshaani Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Aw. That was a good thread, too! Mind you, I'm still waiting for "Miss Trial", our female Guild lawyer. As for Twisted alternates? Lemme think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakshaani Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 First thought: Von Schill's Hired Guns recast as the A-Team, with Hannibal (obvious), BA (Trapper), Howlin' Mad Murdoch (Specialist), Face (ibrarian), with Amy and Frankie (he wa sin the last season, nobody liked him) to fill up the ranks. The Steam trunk, of course, would be a tiny version of The Van. ... Okay, might have some licensing issues. More brainthinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakshaani Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Nicodem in tight pants and a leather jacket, with nine back-up zombie dancers? Because we all need more Mindless Zombies, and the mix of poses and genders behind him can just be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco Aleksander Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 No alt ideas off the top of my head, but I'd love to see a kit centered on the Gremlin train that just keeps going in circles around the swamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakshaani Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 On a more legit note, without copyright... how about the Double Cross Pirate Crew, featuring brothers Victor Cross and Viktor Cross, three Salty Dogs, a cabin boy, and Taylor, the big bulky dude wielding a ship's anchor to clong you over the head with. They're the reason that Malifaux has those anti-ship blockades at the southern riverbreach of the city, and the Double Cross Crew generally goes about the more watery parts of the Bayou, plunderin' moonshine and bacon from the Gremlins. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelich Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) 1 hour ago, Inquisitor Wall said: I had mentioned Wizard of Oz as an Outcast or Arcanist crew. Covers a master, totem, beast, construct and puppet. My bad, an instance of me not reading as opposed to intentional plagiarism, I promise. (I think you idea is clever though ) Would I be stealing from anyone else if I suggested Little Bunny Foo Foo? I know we just had a rabbit in Luthor, but you could do Field mice (could be any swarm), bunny (with a hammer to bop them on the head? lots of hammer models out there), fairy (maybe one of the new Fae models?) and "goon" (pretty open ended here. Even better if it can somehow be a something that is supposed to grow out of the bunny model because of the fairy changing it, effigy -> emissary style). Or have the field mice be Ramos's steam arachnids (as steam punk mice instead) and the bunny being Taelor (cause she is always bopping them on the head when this match up happens in game). Depending on who you are pandering to there is an alternate more adult association of bunnies and ladies that would just require a bunny ears on a pin up style/dressed Taelor. Edited June 16, 2016 by 7thSquirrel Could even have the transformation from bunny to goon with the fairy being someone who can make Taelor's corpse marker into the goon model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakshaani Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Also, it's a crying shame that we can't break the models out of the Crossroads crew a bit better because Lust with a couple of showgirls lets you remake a Lindsey Stirling video. And that's always faboo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakshaani Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Guild Guard as Keystone Cops. Jack Daw hung from a festive Christmas Tree, complete with snowy branches and festive lights, while wearing a red floppy cap? Canine Remains as Leporidae Remains, the undead bunnies of Easter. Malifaux Rats as Malifaux Rabbits, well-known for being large, red-eyed, and hate-filled. Orian as red and black-wearing Heavy Metal Idoru holding up the sign of the Fox God. Pandora's Crew as Alice in Wonderland, with Pandora a sthe Mad Hatter (And Pandora's Box replaced by a hat), Candy as Alice, Baby Kade as the Cheshire Cat, Teddy as the White Rabbit, and two Dopplegangers as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDeathTrout Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 "Teen age" Candy described as being taller than Pandora in the story she appeared in. Other variants of existing models that appeared in the fluff. One avatar for each faction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaphoricDragn Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Hmm this is tough to suggest things for because Wyrd comes up with stuff completely out of left field. I would like to see soem Lucious related guild stuff as doppelgangers in mid-transformation, riflemen, austrigners and the like. oh and rooster riders done up as Baba Yaga's hut for use with Big Z.

Squirrelich Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 So maybe I should have asked this earlier, what is the intent of "Twisted Alternatives"? Because we have "Miss" models (female versions of what are usually male models, but with clever use of the "miss" part of the name to words when fully pronounced) we have Limited/Alt/Promo models (same or similar person just in a different pose... or just one thing changed like the War Rabbit... or gender bending like Dr. Dufresne...) we have Nightmare sets (I'm not actually sure on what makes these special, but they have the special "Nightmare" title) What should we use to distinguish "Twisted Alternatives" from the rest of these? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Caroland Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Avatars aren't likely to happen for the same reason we didn't do them in the first place. Tons of costs associated there for each master. Alt's, well we can do that stuff all do, but not quite what I was going on about Twisted Alternatives. Looking for something a bit more out of Left Field so to speak visually on these things instead of just doing something like a Miss or Mr. model. A few ideas in here that get some mental juices going 'hrmm' though perhaps. And I was so interesting and snuff, snus and other tobacco products too .. (sigh). BTW, to take this completely a different direction - I have to ask - what the hell is up with vaping folks? I know there are a fair number on here that do it because I've seen you at some shows I've attended, so I won't go out of my way to actually write what I really feel on the subject (particularly that puff the magic dragon crap). I don't mind folks taking a pull here and there in order to try and cut the habit, but it seems as if it has become its whole new 'addiction' and seeing these folks suck on them all day, or try and fill an intersection up with smoke from a car that looks like it could be on fire with the amount of smoke coming out of it, just has me shaking my head. I'd almost rather see you pulling on a cigarette instead. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomezilla Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Fine, we'll up the ante then on the 'something for everyone' box: a hula girl (with lei, without top), a cabana boy (same, and add drink in a hollowed-out pineapple), and a flesh-construct-esque hulking undead in a little spangly dress, sporting a lovely pair of coconuts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
