Q'iq'el Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) Wrong mythology though. Since Pandora released woes and sorrows and hope from the box, what we clearly lack is the Hope. This may very well be intended, as there's no hope for humanity in Malifaux. Or seeing how scary the woes and sorrows are, maybe even the designers and sculptors themselves feel dread at what the Hope of the Neverborn might be!

Wodschow Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I still like the idea of the seven dealy sins as models, Lust as something with lure, gloutony can eat other models, envoy, obay?, wrath could have damaging spell (possibly with explotions), Pride somthing involing the other sins, sloth could slow things and i can't remeber what the last one is GREED!! And yes I like the theme aswell, however as Q'iq'el said it's not really related to Pandora as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's the wrong mythology, pandora is in Greek, and possibly Roman and the dealy sins are in the bible i think, i was just agreeing that like the idea of inculdeding them I would like Hope to be a contrast to most of neverborn model and even more different to the other woes and be more anglic than demonic Edited July 16, 2010 by Sliver Chocobo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineusPhule Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Rasputin, The "Mad Monk" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori_Rasputin give this guy Hard to Kill and /or Slow to Die, some sort of healing ability/spell for himself and others, and maybe some sort of control other model spell from his use of Hypnosis. Based on his description I can see him with a bottle of booze and a few Rotten Belles. Make him a Ressurrectionist or an Outcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hand_of_Vecna Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) I like the idea of color coded alternative woes. I agree it's the wrong source material but for using the deadly sins sorrow>wallowing in self pity>sloth (the doldrums ability supports this). Perhaps just a triad of negative emotions sorrow(blue) anger (red) fear (white or black). I think the best way to introduce fairies would be as nephalim conversions. Terror tots-give them insect or butterfly wings and get creative with the paint job and you've got a pixie or give them halberds and hats and you have a redcap. young nephalim- take off wings, add instrument (optional) paint appropriatly and it's a satyr. mature nephalim- a bit harder my first thought was really heavy conversion. He's pretty much a big freakin' demon. Then I remembered that many classic images of satan are taken from the horned god meaning we can reverse engineer from a daemonic model. So shave off the goat horns and replace them with stag horns or tree bits, paint in browns and greys shave down the cloth on the torso and add some flock moss. Voila Malifae©! Oh, as for African figures I think the best way to go would be expanding Order of Chim adding a non unique human (who will count as a beast for buffing purposes) and maybe another master. It already has a black master and it's fluff fits with many African traditions. Also this just got me thinking about how most railworkers were black, chinease or irish so I think I'm going to make my Jonah black with white tatoos like the big guy in the first pirates movie "You will speak when spoken to!". Indians would be a great way to introduce non unique mounted figures. That and a good stealth model would make a very solid sub-faction it would be very strong in reconoiter and treasure hunt and at avoiding slaughter and assassinate. Oh, I have one new model idea of my own big guy with a hammer that's head is a big chunk of soulstone. Whenever he gets a kill he adds one to his crews ss cache. I'd probably give him use soulstone too. Edited July 14, 2010 by Hand_of_Vecna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakrulz55 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) anyone saw Sukiyaki Western Django? id like to see charecters similar to the whites from the movie as part of the outcasts. plus i think it'd give misaki, ronin, and the backround of the vickies something to play with. http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi975372313/ Edited July 15, 2010 by dakrulz55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm a man of wealth and taste. :vb_devil: Seriously though, I would like to see some Ten Thunders action. I'd like to see some cheap Guild models. I don't know how many times I've thought to myself, while crew-building, 'if I only had a two or three ss model'. Militia maybe, or wanna-be-helpful citizens, or how about guard / attack dogs.

Hand_of_Vecna Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I see one problem it would be a bad decision tactically, further exposing one of it's biggest weaknesses. All but one of it's figures (the most expensive) generate corpse and blood counters and guild has no use for corpse counters. Lady J and Executioner have last rites which helps if they activate in the right area before a token gets picked up and it may still not be the best use of their AP. A cheap militia or dog would also have low WP making it easy fodder for Pandora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craaag Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I really like the Malifaux line. That said there is something I would like to see and that would be more male leaders. Particularly for Guild. Don't get me wrong these leaders Guild has are very hot models. What I'd like to see one day is a strong male leader similar to Kreoss.

Wulfen Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Give me Native Americans. I thought they'd be cool as natives who were brought into Malifaux and then were warped by Soulstone, their medicine men claiming powerful magic from dark resources. They'd make good Outcasts, or maybe even a faction of their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas Albrecht Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Take a page from High Plains Drifter. Give us a gunslinger who's actually a ghost. I'm sure he'd be fine in either the Resurrectionists or the Outcasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeper00 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 After hearing all the of the stuff about how the deadly sins do not go with Pandora, I find that I agree also. For me it was more about starting with the green versus blue color. That being said now, I still look at the Neverborn forms as realization of human fears. Seeing that, having a religious bend like the seven deadly sins would be interesting. The other name for the seven deadly sins are the Cardinal Sins, which leads to the perfect name for the master. Then it is just one model per sin. Master - Cardinal Sin Wrath, Greed, Sloth, Pride, Lust, Envy, Greed There are so many posibilities for powers realted to those sins, it is hard to think up a good list. It would be an interesting crew no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q'iq'el Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 (edited) Wasn't hope left in the bottom of the box? Suppose there may be different versions of the myth. I remember Hope being last to get out. Then it should also be a jar (a sexual symbol for ancient Greeks), not a box, so nothing really is as it seems. And let me borrow this stage to wear my "smug mask"™ and say: Ha! In Malifaux we get no childish circuses or silly fairies!

Srdjan Stankovic Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Some dogs. Alive ones. Maybe the same dogs as undead ones but alive (there must be some alive dogs in Malifaux if there are undead dogs). Maybe German shepherd for guild or something like that, with beast characteristic so Marcus can steal it and use it. Maybe some nasty looking dogs for gremlins, like bloodhound or whatever rednecks do keep? Google "redneck dog" for some ideas. Also, maybe some wolfs, gipsy girl with a bear, rats? Harlequin themed assassin would be nice and would blend in nicely. Some "Ankh-Morpork City Watch" themed models for Guild. Or some models that look like Cadwallon militia for Confrontation. Anyway some funny themed militia models for Guild, because now the Guild look too serious. But dogs are a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandLeon Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I would like to see an Outcast master with a soulstone cache based around the Concept of a Gilgamesh. A great idea would be to make him a construct master who uses scrap counter to put bases of different blades (obviously different abilities per blade) in base contact that can only activate by companion and at the end of their activation return to base contact with Gilgamesh. As far as a crew I would have to think further about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enderwiggin Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I actually think a Mapmaker/explorer would be interesting to see. Think "Deadliest Game" mixed with Lewis and Clark, a big game hunter that came over for the next big hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
