Soulflayer777 Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Hey everyone. This is my 1st post so hopefully I'm posting in the right place and apologies if not. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on alternate models for The Guilty and possibly Jack Daw himself. The ones in the crew box weren't overly appealing to me and I'm trying to come up with something else. I've already found one I like for Jack, but still interested to see if anyone else has gone down this road! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadhna Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Here's a heavily converted crew by one of the British players: http://marifaux.co.uk/a-fucking-psycho/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulflayer777 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I think my problem with Jacks mini is the hood and noose. Now, granted, I understand why they made him look that way, given the back story and whatnot. However, if i were in Jacks place and had made it off that tree, i wouldnt be walking around with a bag over my head and a rope around my neck lol. But thats just me. Perhaps theres a reason in the story that he keeps them and im just not aware of it. Perhaps he finds them fashionable, in which case i salute him in daring to be different.

lusciousmccabe Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Maybe he just sucks at undoing knots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulflayer777 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Thats it! Apparently the Boy Scouts havent established a chapter thru the breach as of yet, so he never learned proper knotwork. Ill bet Jack cant untie it and thats why he is so pissed off to begin with. Perhaps if someone showed a bit of compassion and went and loosened it for him, he would stop all the killing. Maybe even settle down and become a blacksmith and raise a family, who knows?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Well Baden- Powell would just be starting scouts, and with Jack having already spent 100 years on the hanging tree, he's probably a little old to join... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulflayer777 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Id wager that the denial of his request to join the scouts kindled the fire of his terrible wrath. Swift and merciless would be the retribution that would befall the troop leader... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 And there is your theme for replacing Jack and the guilty, it's a scout master and his troop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulflayer777 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Brilliant! The model of Jack will have scout badges crudely tacked on to his shirt in open defiance of his refused admission into the troop and he will be holding a stick over a campfire attempting to roast marshmallows. But instead of marshmallows on the stick, itll be the former troop leaders head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulflayer777 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 As for the guilty, id have to pose them in some kind of gross mockery of boy scout achievements. Such as instead of helping an eldlerly woman across the street, he would be tripping her and she would be posed mid fall, arms flailing and glasses falling off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebo Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 In fact, not sure if Daw has anything to do with the man who was hanged. He's the manifestation of torment and injustice. Like an Avatar of something bigger. I think that the hood is his face, and the noose form part of his body. He cannot take the bag from his head because the bag IS his head, and there's nothing "inside" of the bag. I use to thing about Jack Daw like Tom Bombadil from LOTR. He's overpowered, immortal and absolutely "irrelevant" for the future of Malifaux, since he 's not interested in anything but his strange wander. He' s useless for the "big" powers of Malifaux, being himself equally or even more powerfull than them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulflayer777 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Hmm thats a very interesting theory! Probably the best ive heard. With that perspective, i could get on board with his mini! (I still think the guilty are hideous however lol). Ive already proxied montressor, ligea and jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His bio in Crossroads states that there are "many legends of this mysterious corpse" and that it's not clear what drives Jack Daw to his rages - only that he's indiscriminate in his killing. Certainly, he has moved beyond his own vengeance as a motivation. As for his power level - Zoraida used him to seal the first Breach. He was formerly something of a puppet for her and Lilith, albeit one that grew beyond his beginnings. Somehow, he's connected to the Burning Man as well. I expect we'll get more cryptic hints about Jack Daw as the story progresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulflayer777 Posted June 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Perhaps he decided to throw off the shackles of tyranny and oppression and become the dictator of a new regime of terror and madness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSkip Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 I`m going to convert Jack Daw from one of the Guild Quellers. It will be a much better modell for a master, much taller. When its done I post a pic here. Also searching for ideas for alternate guilty but this thread doesn`t bring much input rather than some reasons for Jacks outfit reasons...

Soulflayer777 Posted June 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Oh thats cool! I like it. Great painting also! So this is what i went with for Jack. My thoughts behind my choice are as follows (and these are just my thoughts, NOT at all malifaux canon/lore): This is what i think Jack would look like in an "Avatar of Injustice" (or whatever) kind of form. Lost the rope and bag and got himself some decent threads to wear. The crows (and this is all according various mythologies) carries peoples souls. Also, alledgedly 5 crows represent sickness (im thinking mental sickness, aka TORMENTED). Therefore, Jack controls the souls of the Tormented via the crows. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Some cool conversion there. Like how the spectral rope keeps the theme but makes it more mystical-ly. The first thing I thought on seeing the crows was them pecking at him while he dangled on the rope. I could totally see them representing his ranged attack, particularly in terms of being able to hang around people for lingering effects.
