Just another thread where we pile up Minion ideas like sirloin at a stir fry joint

[Jonas Albrecht]

Pitch your Minion ideas here. You can detail as little or as much as you want. Don't give people **** over their ideas.

IT'S SO SIMPLE!

[Dumb Luck]

A gremlin that hands out the Whoops rule to other models.

[Jonas Albrecht]

You know what we don't have yet? A gremlin ghost.

[mythicFOX]

Squirrels, that is all.

[Guild Monkee]

Gremlin squirrels, everyone's a winner

[Kalkris]

I'd love to see an analogue of Spring-Heeled Jack as a minion, or a play off of Sweeney Todd as a master.

As far as entire factions go, I *really* have a hankering for a faction that is even more of a "good guy" faction than the Guild; I'm thinking Seraphim, Noblemen and Pegasi - kind of a true antithesis to Neverborn. And, I trust that Wyrd could twist it to be dark enough that it fits with Malifaux's ambience. The downside to that would probably be that it's harder to make it more steampunk and less "high-fantasy" with the workings of it, but if, perchance, Wyrd made angels in the true traditional means (a la http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/6/3/0/33630.jpg?v=1 ), it might just work out. Heck, we could see paladins in the form of gunslingers, right?

While we're at it, a dual-faction Master who is an analogue of Spawn, with this faction alongside Neverborn as his allignment! Whaddup!

You mean like this?

(If you haven't seen it watch to the end)

Moar silurids!!

But seriously (and I was also serious above), couple of neat ideas:

- Sea creatures that can be in water terrain (and some sort of evolving ability that allows to to get out of the water)

- Another, better shapeshifter

- Undead Gremlins

- An illusionist that creates terrain that enemy models failing a Wp duel cannot move or see through and creates Terrifying/Anathema checks all over the place.

I'm down for some undead Gremlins.

[Ausplosions]

More steampunk is definitely required in malifaux.

[Korrosion]

Non-copyright infringing models (Gremlins) loosely based on the Boondock Saints.

[Odin1981]

+1 to what korrosion said lol I would be very very tempted to play gremlins than.

[Envy]

Keneō The old Man. He would be a spirit and companion with Datsue-ba.

[clockworkspide]

Is this just for random ideas, or could we post hypothetical stats and get some feedback?

On the random ideas bit, I agree with undead gremlins. I've also been toying with a mad scientist-wannabe gremlin - a Gremlin Taxidermist henchman sort of thing.

Do it up however you like. Personally, I'd love to see some statblocks.

Clearly what the game is lacking is a crazy shotgun toting preacher. It actually amazes me that there isn't one already. So here he is. He's deceptively fast, can tar pit, and has several ways of inflicting good damage at range.

[Mr. Goggles]

Props on the Preacher, I like the rule set and everything.

And seriously Wyrd? a shotgun toting preacher is NOT in this game?

[G. Footman]

i think they've said before that they wanted to stay away from any religious characters.

a gremlin preacher and gremlin nuns with shotguns would be great though

[xKoBiEx]

I want to see another Gremlin mimic list. Ophelia busts me to tears every time I see her played and the Green Justice crew from another thread is so epic that Wyrd needs to do one... or Kirai to appease the spirit gremlin desires.
