I know it's unlikely to happen due to the limitations of the engine, but if you had the ability to remix your minions to look different (while still having the same powersets) then how would you make them look?
For example, I'd make my Thugs look like Post-Apocalyptic raiders with the Brute being a super mutant, or Cyberpunk gangsters in neon and chrome with the brute as a cyborg. Or even make them all Orks!
Mercenaries I'd clean up to look like stormtroopers or world war 1 soldiers with gasmasks, with the Commando as an officer. Or I'd make them all look like Longbow or Sky Raiders and lead a strike team!
The Ninjas could be retooled in a lot of ways with technology or magic or even making them jedi with lightsaber katanas. Oni's tricky though...
Beasts... well, dunno what to do there. Maybe make similar-level animals? Or just a bunch of hamsters of varying size?
Demons could easily be remixed into all sorts of mystical critters or monsters, or even re-skin them as straight-up wizards and be the leader of a sorcerers' cabal.
Robots are a bit hard due to their mesh, but if that wasn't a concern there's all sorts of androids, gynoids, and other such you could have fun with.
Necromancy would be a blast just due to all the crazy undead you could make. Undead samurai, peasants, policemen... heck you could dress them up as villain gang members for extra creep factor; the low-level zombies could be Hellions or Skulls, the grave guard could be Tsoo or Warriors, and the Lich could be a Circle of Thorns or Banished Pantheon mage. Really dig in for that horror feeling!
What do you all think? What would you like to try if you could?
