Jesy Blue Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Even though the likes of Dashel Barker rose from Enforcer to Henchman to Master, not everyone can aspire to such lofty heights. What about the little guy? What about the beaten and the downtrodden, just looking for a little bit of a step up in the world? Which Minion or Plentiful Totem would you like to see get a name? Not like a alternate Miss Anne Thrope, but an upgrade to a single model single named Enforcer or better. Like an Aspiring Student get their red belt and become an assistant instructor, or a Desperate Mercenary get a good run of jobs and build a reputation.... and they get a name. Who would you elevate and name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adran Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 You appear to miss that Dashel started life as a totem, the drill sergeant (it may have even been a peon). I don't think he was ever an enforcer (He was a henchman in M2E, so was already different to the generic Guild captain enforcer) So far Misaki, Hamlin, Wong and Jack have fully progressed from minionhood to Master (Lucius, Von Schill, Kaeris, Molly, Ophelia and Collodi started life as the 6 first edition henchmen who got promoted during the first edition switch). Arik and Howard and Maurice started life as generic people. You could possibly argue that Tara was a desperate mercenary before she became a master. And I imagine that at one time Shen Long and Sensei Yu were just aspiring students. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clockworkspide Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 2 hours ago, Thatguy said: I could have sworn Wong started out as a Master. Nope. First appeared in Storm of Shadows (along with Burt and Gracie) as Outcast minions at the end of 1E. Actually, Mortimer is arguably this in reverse: a unique named gravedigger (by in-universe profession) who was eventually followed by a generic counterpart model.

muraki Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Most of the unnamed totems would be pretty funny as named enforcers/henchmen. As much as I love the young lacroix with the bare butt and I'm sure he lives a rich public life, I'm not sure I'm gunna go out of my way to field his (no doubt wario) influenced card.... I was trying to think with some of the crews I play, and a lot of them already have models that could fill that 'named / bigger version of x' role. Like sure Sidir / Wastrels aren't directly 1 to 1 but they have overlapping skillsets / abilities. Some good ones tho: Witchling Thralls (cause who wouldnt want a more smashy thrall henchmen?) Domadores (would add some interesting options for marshal) Draugr (Cause the beard guy is already pretty special and deserves a name) December Acolytes (cause the new sculpts are awesome but not so awesome i wanna field a bunch) Rooster Riders (cause who can resist more chicken sculpts) moon shinobis/fermented river monks (cause brewmaster doesn't really have any new models who lean into the 'wow im trashed' look) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniacal_cackle Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Any of the crooligans could grow up to be little terrors Except they're undead, so they'd still have the body of a child... Oh gosh, terrifying. Also if one becomes a master, does that mean the minions drop to plentiful two? also, you make fun posts! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss that they don't have size changing rules. I feel like with the replace mechanics it would be easy. I agree in the rooster riders, and it looks like Wyrd is stead of us with the Bayou Bash versitile stuff that is coming out. I'd really like to see a Taxidermist that got the bump to enforcer or henchman. Maybe a stuffed gator to go with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchdown Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Freikorps has a library division with a head librarian but no head engineer for the engineering division.

Butch Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Crooligans are already mentioned. Another Minion could be a Rable Riser which develops more and more consciousness and steadily evolves.

primevalivy Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 I’d like to see one of the crooligans get the upgrade. Maybe the girl with the teddy bear. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Content Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 I already have wild fantasies about slapping the Hard to Kill upgrade on a Malifaux Rat and calling it Angelina Ballerina. On a side note, since I imagine Copycat Killer to be somewhat of a Seamus's narcissism gamin, where's the actual golem? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domadores (would add some interesting options for marshal) A Domadore Enforcer/Henchman would be very cool (although the thought of painting it makes me just as sad as the thought of painting the minion versions. Or painting in general!) I'm not sure about the Thrall though. There's not much personality in an enslaved beatstick. A named Handler who is particularly skilled at controlling Thralls though. That I would like to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, quoted to imply he was a witchling handler. Called his stalkers his “hounds”. It was one of the breachside broadcasts, but I can’t recall the number. Back from 2e based on the fight with ice gamin, and they explode when killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
