Alright, so I'm going to have a group of people playing when I head home, and one of the guys was really into it, because he has some other minis sitting around, gathering dust. However, the thing is: they're constructs. I think he has a handful of warforged minis, from D&D, and we were both trying to think of some way he could work them in. I was thinking that maybe he could have them be an experiment from some dwarven engineers. Then we'd just give them dwarf stats and call it a day. Or maybe have them act as possessed, but we'd change the wording around? Instead of "cloven hooves," have "enhanced hydraulics?" But would that make it weird when he's doing chaos magic? Would it be reasonable to change his magic to the lesser magic and claim his leader is a normal wizard artificer? Or would that under power his leader?
I guess, my question is: does anyone have any other ideas? I would hate to have this guy pigeonholed into a warband he may not like because his guys aren't really in the canon. When I suggested steam-powered men, he approved...
