Twisted is a tabletop skirmish game from Demented Games. My first foray into this alternate steampunk reality are the Dickensians. A right twisted version of your favorite hoodlums from Oliver Twist and a little Voodoo too!
The cannon fodder... er.. I mean to say the bulk of the faction are the Urkin. Essentially hordes of orphaned children that have been twisted by their exposure to the energies of The Engine into evil, yet adorable, characters of their former selves.
Here, from left to right, are the Urkin Slasher "Torch", The Urkin Shooter "Blunder", and the Urkin Shooter "Scope".
I wanted to have this faction look impoverished but sort of radioactively festive. They are basically gray with some bright accent colors like pink, orange and green.
The wraith like Sowerberry is festooned with timepieces infused with the baleful energies of The Engine and Dodger has been fuse with some kind of motorized unicycle.
I used Verdigris (Secret Weapon) to represent the energies of The Engine which not only emanates from their equipment like, Sowerberry's time pieces, but even from inside the faction members. Most of the members of this faction are bundled up from head to toe in protective gear and carry some form of gas canister and gas mask to sustain them when they are separated from direct exposure to the miasma that suffuses the Engine node in London.
Most of the Urkin show little skin, which I have depicted as darkened by the energies that twisted them, the one exception being the Bloodrage Urkin form of the Urkin Alchemancer. This is straight up Jekyll and Hyde in a Voodoo mask. The trousers started out solid purple (HULK SMASH!) but got stripes of orange to liven them up.Which brings us to the Faction leader Bill Psyches and his English Bull Terrier Bullseye. Bill's legs have been changed into mechanical powerhouses and even Bullseye sports a gas canister.
I enjoyed these figures and am torn between doing The Dickensians Set 2 or Minions of The Engine set 1 next... probably should do the minions so I can actually get a game in!
