Oddworld Miniatures: Rule book and codex

[STM]

Hey all, so I decided to take on a mini project to take up my spare time before Christmas, I've been trying to keep myself busy and out of my family's way. Success. Anywho, I've written a first edition rulebook for an Oddworld Miniature game I referred to as Proddigy: All Out War (or PAW).

The rulebook will be available for download after Christmas but first I wanted to ask you all a question...before I release it I'm going to write up a codex for the major factions, so far I have:
+ The Magog Cartel
+ The Vykers Conglomerates
+ The Mudokon Insurgency
+ The Outlaws

I need to make one other faction but I don't know what to do or who to use, I was thinking grubbs or clakkerz but neither have a veritable army or a decent amount of information, at best I could create a merger of the two but that would be too conflicting so...any ideas?

How about Scrabs or Paramites. Sure they aren't smart but there are tons of them in their temples. Plus: everyone loves Srabs/Paramites.

It could be called: (just a thought, you could change it.) The Scrabania/Paramonia temples.

[STM]

Problem with that is they are just two animals with limited ability and I would have to add too much fanon...scrab king, scrab guard, scrab with longer teeth...see what I mean.

Slurgs and fleeches :P...

What's the magog anyway?

[MeechMunchie]

You could just have a 'Wrath of Nature' faction. They're as likely to attack Industrialists as Natives.

nice names for factions

Thankyou,

@AG - Magog Cartel is the name of the corporate glukkon front
@MM - I was going to add native animals in their own sections as something to add depth to say...a hunt the scrab scenario, they will be included in a 'separate codex'

What exactly would it be? Much like Warhammer I'm assuming?
I'm quite interested in this, I don't know too much about Oddworld, the first three games are my forte, but anything else I'm quite clueless on, so I'd like to offer my help, but it wouldn't be very useful.

[Slig_Dude_64]

What could you use Shrykul for. He is a mudokon god, but is he a Scrab/Paramite god?

[STM]

No but, wait, SPOILER ALERT!!!!!

Ok, the shrykull would be a special sort of...ability if you will that allows you to turn one of your hero mudokon units into the shrykull at some cost, maybe life or something. I'm not starting the codexes until after Christmas, the rules are finished and so is a battle scenario that is included to teach you how to play.

Maybe you have to buy them by repping me? XD No I joke, everything will be available for PDF download after Christmas.

I've got to say, this isn't an idea that had occured to me before. I can't guarantee how successful it will be, but I certainly wish you the best of luck. The results should be mighty interesting.

[STM]

Thank you, it's nice to see some interest, even when there aren't any miniatures of yet. =)

Ooh, I forgot to put...feedback is appreciated!

[ledsnipe]

!! the most amazing idea i have ever heard i tried doing this years ago but i couldn't make the miniatures keep up the good work !!

P.S you could try using steef with the grubs maybe

[STM]

Thank you for the feedback, I'm not going dexes at least yet. This is because I think that there's no point in doing something like this when only a few people seem interested. Perhaps if I get another comment, enough to show a decent amount of interest then sure, I'll go for it.

[JayDee]

This ounds like an awesome idea STM and the rules are fairly straightforward too
i love the faction names

[STM]

Thankyou very much, you guys, really pushing me to pick up writing again!!!
