I didn't think that at all although I only used a wicked doll once and it got killed pretty early on. Was the consensus that he was to powerful or underpowered? And yes, I agree the act upgrades are awesome. I really enjoyed having all 4 marionettes on the table sticking close to Collodi as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloomy Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 My vote goes to Lord Chunky Chompy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Not a fan of the new chompy but at least it gives an alternative for those who want more of a spooky/digusting look rather than leashed menace of the previous ones. Alps are definitely the standout model, even if they're more generic demon types now. Don't particularly like new Coppelius, although again he's not actually a bad model. Similar to chompy he's much more static than the previous versions. Looks more like he's standing on the sidelines munching eyes from his bucket than sprinting about, tearing them out of people. New dreamer seems to fit his new theme, although I do prefer the old one. What's the deal with the cricket bat though? The edges look bizarrely thick and it's wrapped in bandages or something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed having all 4 marionettes on the table sticking close to Collodi as well Lord Chunky Bits is just too good of a name now :} Anyway yes, having the marionettes spawn around him makes them feel feels useful and part of the master more than it ever felt in M2e. New Collodi has flavor dripping everywhere! Consensus was that he was alright or very good before the last 2 or 3 weeks. Then a lot of changes hit him all at once. Summoning marionettes 2 at a time instead of 4, Vasilisa getting her best feature replaced by a really clunky mechanic based on wicked dolls and her big reduction in summoning pool, all just contributed to getting in the way of what Collodi likes to do. He got a really cool "Puppetteering" action though! But I am VERY, VERY optimistic about the open beta solving the clunkiness that's in a few crews, Puppets included! Once again, I'd love for DMH to be tournament approved and given the same attention during playtesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, I prefer the old child dreaming theme, but I can't say the new isn't great. They both are, and dreamer was going to grow up eventually, it makes sense that he's angry and scarred. I just kinda like the creepy/cute childish thing a lot :} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also have a feeling that the reason for which the Open Beta in not starting till next Wednesday is because @matt and @Kyle are aware of some of these things and are working on something. Perhaps the files are going to be a wee bit different than what the Beta ended on... Anyway, the thread keeps going from "Ooh, shiny new Dreamer!" to "Theme is changing a lot, DMH is weird". I'm going to stop fueling the latter part :} And yes, as much as creepy cute sleeping child is what I miss, war-scarred, grieving, angry Dreamer is probably the natural progression of the character and it fits. Did I say new alps? New, heavy metal-gibbering Alps! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Book 4 vignettes, it is written that Collodi leaves Malifaux city to search for his maker if I remember correctly. If the inventor is ancient, given that most of the Fae died a long time ago, his maker would be either a powerful immortal or even a Tyrant. I wonder if they will relate this search for an inventor with the symbol that Ramos uses on his own creations and that (again if I remember correctly) comes from ancient Malifaux books. Or they could relate the maker to an old novel (M1E book so my memory may not be good) where the name Collodi is used for a somewhat different creature (still a doll maker though) that attacks a village, killing people in their sleep with his dolls to recharge soulstones. But I wonder if they have not just dropped this storyline altogether. Collodi was made by humans during the time of the first breach.

Clockwork_Fish Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 I like the new Dreamer, Coppelius and the Alps. Chompy, I like...bits of him? His head and enormous crazy mouth, that I like. Looks much more nightmarish, and aesthetically links him with Insidious Madness. But it doesn't really match his arms and body. Give him more mouths! 😈 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 I've seen that mouth before... wasn't that snowmen in Raspy's alt box? Creativity is running out? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultravanillasmurf Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Late to the party (maybe I overslept, I have been having these terrible dreams...). What is the Dreamer carrying over his shoulder? Is it supposed to be a sword in a ribbon wrapped box? The rest look suitably nightmareish.

In the same way a rounders bat is a length of wood of three inch by three inch section ^___^. Cricket is a test of endurance, five possibly more days.... Tests the players (and the spectators). You may break for a word from your sponsors, we break for lunch and tea! Plus it promotes snoozing, maybe that is why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could just be me but I see dreamer as a rather impulsive, spontaneous child with very little attention span or patience, test cricket is like the extreme opposite to him, I'd go as far as to say, it would be his worse nightmare, maybe that is why he is lashing out.

I am trapped in a timeloop, every time I start to reply, I go to look something up and have to start again. I agree about the character, but the supposed cricket bat is rubbish. It is like making a rounders bat a length of square section wood.
