===<strike>Gremlins</strike>Bayou=== Take one part [[orks]], one part ''Deliverance'', one part hillbillies, and one part drunken game dev, and you've got the Gremlins. Creatures who were in Malifaux before humans, but somehow are redneck gobbos and not Neverborn. Not very smart on their own, but pretty good at copying things, and since humans are smart... Have a very casual attitude towards death, since so many things in the swamp are ready to kill them - even the pigs they rear for food and combat are capable of eating them whole. They spend the whole game blowing themselves up, accidentally shooting each other, and sending pigs flying at the opponent. Hilarious and workable, but they're absolutely fucked against a Hamelin list. General approach to battle is a horde of cheap, dumb gremlins supported by nastier swamp critters (mostly giant hogs, but also giant mosquitoes and giant gators). Fun-fact; if you can handle the smooth-skinned no-nose look and slightly glowy solid-colored eyes, most of the female gremlin characters make pretty good [[monstergirls]]. About the only exceptions are Mah Tuckett (who is fat and old), Meris LaCroix (who is a fat gremlin chick strapped to a rocket) and The Little Lass (who is a loli). Definite points have to go to Trixiebelle, who is... well, ''stacked''. [[http://pullmyfinger.wikispaces.com/M2E+Trixiebelle See for yourself.]] ==== Masters ==== * '''Som'er Teeth Jones:''' The hillbilly gremlin master, manipulating and being manipulated by everyone but being fine with it since everyone from Ten Thunders to Zoraida is giving him an easy ride. His idiot son is supreme leader of Gremlins, meaning Som’er is leadsr so much as the term means anything to Gremlins. Its 40k [[Orks]] but in a different game system and modelled on rednecks instead of English football hooligans. One case of good blatant ripoff in Malifaux. Has very diverse list builds and not correctly guessing what he's taking is going to be difficult to deal with on the table, though he does have a slant towards the horde approach. He also possesses the most tricks to apply damage to models that bypasses defenses, armor, damage reduction etc, one of these methods is a fucking aoe fart nuke, like the worst fart you've had after a Vindaloo curry and few pints of lager. Naturally he has a crew build where this fart nuke is going to hit your crew 4-5 times a turn. Keyword Big Hat. *'''Ophelia Lacroix:''' Basically Ophelia and her family cosplay as the Ortegas, only they're Gremlins so expect lulz. Is a [[Creed|Tactical Genius]] with educated human-tier intellect but no access to book-learning so it turned into a high WIS instead. Stockpiled weapons and trained her kin to be the most disciplined Gremlins can possibly be. Pissed that Som’er got his son elected head of all Gremlins instead of her. They have better shooting than normal gremlins and are tougher, but still like having numbers. Ophelia's special force is The Kin, basically her family, like the Ortegas, only really hillbilly. Got promoted from a Henchman to a Master when Gremlins got upgraded to full-factions status in 2. Keyword Kin. *'''Ulix''': Old peg-legged gremlin who specialises in training, breeding and herding pigs. [[Dwarfs (Warhammer Fantasy)|pissed the youth are into newfangled human ways.]] Doesn’t care about any plots or subplots, and is happy to just sell his pigs. Naturally, if this guy is the boss, the force should be comprised mostly of pigs. Nasty pigs. Moves very slow, but can "ride" pigs and so get free move actions if he sticks close to them. Keyword Sooey and Pig. *'''Mah Tucket''': Vicious, ugly old gremlin matriarch who beats peoples' heads in with a wooden spoon. Causes the most chaos to all other factions mainly with her daughters, and screwed over Ophelia on the leadership vote due to the Brewmaster’s trickery. She's the best melee combat master that gremlins have. Keyword Tricksy. *'''Wong''': Crazy gremlin who essentially mugged Lo Pan from Big Trouble in Little China, and stole his clothes, which he uses to blow enemies up real good. Is [[Azhag the Slaughterer|being “controlled” by a magic McGuffin that wants him to summon it into the world]], which he’s content to stall and sabotage. Zaps enemies with lightning, explodes objectives, and can turn enemies into piglets. Playing Wong is all about letting Wong do half the killing; Wong doesn't synergies well with many models, so he will mostly run around melting any poor fuck dumb enough to stand near him, and doing half the work while his crew either supports him, distracts enemies, or plays the objective game. Tends to either win by a landslide or get slapped like a bitch and lose instantly. Keyword Wizz-Bang. *'''Zipp:''' The only Insignificant Master and a sky pirate - leads a crew of gremlins riding metal skeeters, drops pianos on things, and carries Earl Burns (his totem and hostage) around to interact for him. Keyword Infamous. *'''The Brewmaster:''' Now only Gremlins master. Raised by Ten Thunders as their agent, but went native. The main power directly controlling the Gremlins. Gets everybody drunk, which means if you're a Gremlin you become the hulk and if you're anything else you collapse into a puddle of vomit and shame. Has some permanently drunk buddies who reverse their modifiers: Any positives they get become negatives, and any negatives they get become positives. Makes for some bizarre play where the Brewmaster's crew intentionally gets themselves into the worse situations and comes out top. Has the power to induce drinking contests, which is nastier than you think, because while the enemy is chugging das boot, they can’t do anything else, essentially repeatedly wasting their turn as they poison themselves over and over. Keyword Tri-Chi. *'''Zoraida:''' : Fugly Voodoo Witch. The first human in Malifaux, became a Neverborn. Manipulating all the factions to keep the Tyrants banished, but Titania showed up and is an unknown quality so her plans may all be bunk since people who were supposed to die lived and vice versa. Has awesome as control play, probably the best master in the game to do it with. Honestly only downside is horrible as a hellhole of a face. Is like Tzeentch's Southern cousin with a face like Nurgle. Pretty much claims to be behind everything, which is probably true because no one wants that face in front of them. Can take anything with a willpower stat of 4 or less, which gives her an incredibly diverse selection for her crew, which is good because her starter box is retarded in terms of viability, you will just buy her model and her Voodoo doll totem which is not included in the box and then whatever cheesey combo of models you want. Honestly her starter box is almost Marcus level bad except Zoraida can still piss all over your opponent with her control abilities and her evasive raven form. Her "avatar" form is her as a hot chick, because God forbid the good folks at Wyrd put one lady character into their game you wouldn't want to fuck. Keyword Swampfiend.
