Maniacal_cackle Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 You'd think designing a second title for a master with a fixed totem and keyword would be severely limited design space, but they're knocking it out of the park with basically all the titles so far. I'm so impressed! Going to be a very fun season when they launch! 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufess Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Sonnia - Kirai Asami - Dreamer Anya - Ironsides Viks - Yan Lo Schtook - ? We now have 4 full pair revealed. Beside the Sonnia - Kirai pair, all of them have a new multi-keyword model that works well with all versions of both side. So what you guys think about the remaining pair? Is there any interesting combination based on lore or game mechanism? I wanna see the following pairing: Ulix - Marcus: to make some mutated pigs Zipp - Parker: they are in the same (flying) boat alreay Ivan - Mei Feng: well you know... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandeep - they've been in the fluff together before - Sandeep gave him his first book on necromancy and borrowed a student for a mission. Could have a new student-exchange program now that Schtook is accepting live students Leveticus - kind of similar in that amalgamation of flesh and metal is their thing. Maybe Levi visits Transmortis as a guest lecturer? New model would be some sort of twisted monstrosity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPieChee Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 https://www.wyrd-games.net/content-reveals Is that a new page? There's some art that hasn't been revealed in blog posts as far as I know... Summoner ironsides... Edit: looks like I missed the Toni and Anya reveal! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Sells Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Perdita - Nekima or Markus: It'd be a great way to give her back her Avatar flying horse demon thing, and an unmounted flying-horse-demon-thing could be a neat shared model. Molly - Nellie: They've been circling eachother in the lore for a while and they're both reporters. Reva - Hamlin: Reva's intro story has lots of her mercy killing the sick, I'd love to see her and Hamlin sharing a runaway type model of an invalid that they get bonuses for killing. Colette - Seamus: Girls, Girls, Girls! Nah - Hoffman: More Bayou bots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anya, Toni and the Drudge were revealed in a podcast. The Viks, Yan Lo and Kenshiro in a youtube video. So it's a great thing for Wyrd to put all reveals in a single page. ^^ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the idea that maybe it would be Dashel - Parker. So far all the dual-Keyword models revealed have been cross-faction (not that there's much of a dataset to draw on there) and Zipp and Parker are both Outcasts (I know technically Zipp is Bayou too so it could still follow the format). And I had the idea of a corrupt (not a surprise for Guild!) law enforcement type who works for the Guard but helps out the Bandits on the side which would fit them both. But then again, it could literally be 90% of the other Masters too, so its all speculation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trikk Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Well, we have Basse and Parker. One is a Sheriff. One is a Bandit. That seems like it meshes together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger on a lot of their models A shared Keyword model would already have easy overlap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axelst Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 I guess Malifaux is a place where there's little difference between cops and robbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordon Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 I assume the nightmare crews will still be locked to their original masters? I guess it has to be the case for those alternate masters on different sized bases. It'll be interesting to see if new upcoming nightmare crews reference the new titles or if they'll have the option to play for either title.

MrPieChee Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Unless the base size changes, I would assume most players would be happy for you to use both cards with the same model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbat07 Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 I'm really hoping for a Pandora/Jack Daw model - I feel like there's a lot of thematic and in game cross over that could work rly well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pallas4 Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 As much as I find the connection between Syndicate and M&SU logical, Ancestor and Mercenary surprised me. I think that we will have several such surprising connections that nobody would have thought of... for example, with the keyword of Nellie, I could imagine a Woe/journalist combination because of the M2E. But also journalist/Bandit (investigative journalism) journalist/Big Hat (a gremlin trying to imitate...) or even journalist/Performers because the media like stars. .... Or maybe journalists/Savage journalist/Obliteration or journalist/Cadmus for some reasons I can't imagine because I don't know enough about fluff. Can't wait to see the other titles...

SEV Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Titles are great. They were on top of my wish list for Malifaux (as I think it's the best way to create design space) and Wyrd deliver. Complexity will be through the roof though. A lot of those new masters are quite complicated... Even a beaters like the Viks has some subtle interactions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I really want to see the artwork of Tara) Someone on the Malifaux subreddit posted their skull-mask facepaint Performer paintjob a while back...you know, like what's depicted on the art for the Domadors. So how's Performer/Marshal for an odd combination? Also, to be fair, Cadmus basically goes with anything that isn't constructs purely by virtue of its nature as a parasitic hive mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Marshal will already be taken. If I had to put money down on any one pairing, it'd be Marshal/Obliteration. With some kind of Death Marshal Enforcer as the bridging model, or at least something that gives the capacity to hire DM's into Oblit.

Trample Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 I would actually bet against the pairings that make as much sense as Marshal/Obliteration, which is a good thing. There is nothing really to connect Mercenary/Ancestor or M&SU/Syndicate or Oni/Nightmare. Not that I can see anyway. The Marshal and Obliteration however would both clearly benefit from bury and would be so logical to put together. It just hasn't been the trend. You probably have a better chance at Performer/Marshal based on that what we've seen so far. I really like what they have done with some of the linked themes that tie the keywords together in interesting ways. The drudge is probably the best so far in providing a valuable mechanic that boosts both keywords in different ways and adds to the playstyle of both new masters. Kenshiro too boosts both the Viks and Yan Lo is pretty cool ways (both versions of each). I can't wait to see him on the table. The titles are very well done so far. The playstyles are different enough to be new for each but compelling to try. Definitely a home run! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oni/Nightmare both involve creatures that come from another realm and/or aren't quite physically real in the same sense that you or I are. M&SU/Syndicate is fairly simple: it's a union vs an exploitive employer, with the lowliest workers in the middle being pulled around by both sides. I'll give you Mercenary/Ancestor, but one of Yan Lo's descendents as a strategist for hire isn't entirely implausible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inefficiency_Expert Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) My guess is that the pairings will be story based than mechanic based. So off the top of my head.... Lady J/ Dr. Macmourning Nellie/Molly Titania/Nexus Von Schtook/Sandeep maybe. Oh and Marcus/Cooper Edited August 5, 2021 by Inefficiency_Expert Forgot part of it.

Probably going to be a mix of both story and mechanics/thematics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
