edonil Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I did not know that, very cool. Is that in any of the books/chronicles? Twisted Fates, the Outcast story is Misaki centered and bits of it is discussed there. Storm of Shadows goes into more detail, and I think is the first official mention of the Katanaka as a family group... Maybe. >.> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I'd like to see a Ten Thunder Master that would be a strong but old Samurai warlord type. As there are Samurai's, Lone Swordsmen, Katanaka Snipers etc it would be cool to have a strong leader with them that would also fit the theme. An Oda Nobunaga type Master would be sweet, perhaps he could have an ability that lowers the cost of Samurai to make them more appealing!

Dr. Porkenstein Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Carnival Freak Show crew for Outcasts!!!! Think of the possibilities. Geek biting of chicken heads, bearded lady, wolf boy, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Porkenstein Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I think I am gonna make a home brew crew for The Freak Show. I got myself a little excited. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claymore65 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I've had ideas swirling around in my head for a Duel Outcast/Arcanist Werewolf themed master. I might have to make a homebrew version some day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgrilusHunter Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Some sort of badass coulrophopic character as a master could work... Only one master is suitable to lead a troupe of Malifaux Penguins ... I'm thinking Outcasts and he and Hamelin can compete for lost children. Of course, he would have to dish out Float to his crew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WookieeGunner Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I think we need a crew full of cl0wns.... So you want a crew based on the staff of Wyrd Games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertmac Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Neverborn/arcanist demon summoner would be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor Wall Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I would parrot the idea of the circus freak show as being pretty sweet. I could also see a pirate crew to go with the driftwood docks set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necroon Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I would parrot the idea of the circus freak show as being pretty sweet.

NoHero Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I would think they would be master and henchman. They would either work for Guild or Arcanist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDisaster Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Actually the Guild would seem to make sense. Ed is a dog of the military and the closest link to a totalitarian regime in Malifaux is the Guild they also tend to go against that regime on a regular basis so Guild / Arcanists duel faction seems to fit real nice. What sort of crew would they lead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHero Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I would imagine he would work with Guild Guardsman and Guild Marshalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96p Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Knights Templar... not in armor (well maybe in steampunk armor) but in victorian suits. Think melee oriented freikorps with blades and at least one on horseback. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drats Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I think a dual-faction Gremlins/Ressers master could be pretty cool-- some kind of mad-eyed roughneck with a folksy philosophy of the eternal cycle of decay feeding new growth in the bayou, raising his deceased kin and whatever dead gifts the swamp bears up and leading a clan that's backwater even by gremlin standards, with a creepy, almost cultish "Innsmouth by way of Deliverance" feel to them. The "non-gremlin undead" bit on Leveticus' Pariah of Bone upgrade made me raise an eyebrow because there aren't any gremlin undead AFAIK, but that got me thinking about how intimidating it would be to have to fight off an endless horde of shambling lumps of re-animated swampflesh, some of them perhaps taxidermied into twisted new forms (the winged monkeys from Wizard Of Oz spring to mind). It'd be tough to design a master around the concept that didn't end up treading on Zoraida's toes with the whole "swamp witch" theme or on Nicodem's "hordes of cheap undead" niche, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalcyonSeraph Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I think the "non-gremlin undead" was just added as symmetry to the "non-gremlin construct" bit of Pariah of Iron, which was added specifically to prevent him from taking the Pigapult.

Astrella Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 ... does Malifaux have any large bodies of water other than Big Z's swamp? I can't seem to remember one way or another. I think a bit of Molly fluff somewhere mentions her travelling on a ship across a large body of water and seeing wondrous creatures? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drats Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ahhh, so there is. I was studying the Outcasts and 10t so hard trying to pick my first master that certain subtleties of the Gremlins obviously got away from me. The pigapult hadn't occurred to me as a construct, either; I thought "Non-Gremlin Constructs" was to keep him from recruiting a Whiskey Golem. Heh.
