C'mon you artistic types, lets have a few funny skins please, the dafter the better. I'm thinking things like

Herbalist as a witch on a broomstick
Bard as a Punk Rocker with an electric guitar
Spy as a cardboard box with eye-holes cut out

Cool, cheap skin pack. I'm In . Get some DYE in a bucket and a toothBRUSH.🖌

Great idea pheonix, i only wonder if the deb would agree in this.
If the mod or the dev allows these types of skins then if i have spare time i would do your bard suggestion, i like the idea of having a rock guitar for my main supp unit

Well? @Endru1241, @Stratego (dev)?

Let me try to get their attention. A quick rework while on my irl duty.

Skull rework

Looks nice, but i think the witch version would fit more if made
Try one, witch hat, broom, etc.

As the first contributor , can i suggest name of skin pack as THE CREEPY

should be individual, unless u make 2+ more skins then u can make your own pack.

And, unit skins with different designs e.g. Punk rock Bard and Cardboard box spy should be separate.

For my buddy phoenix

Please , all i need is a good word as remark for doing more. And its my time out, that's all i could do within this tea break during my work. Got to go. C u gys latr.

Witch is ok, but i suggest to shade the clothing with a little grey to make it grim.

Well, @phoenixffyrnig?

This was easy, if it went not too bad

skins only allowed that are authentic in the given theme.
so in AOS only medieval and "real" units can only appear, so no "classic" witch appearances from tales and such - however a "witch" can be that is simply an old lady having knowledge that time was considered witchcraft.

Eh, i knew it. I should've waited first. I wasted my time.

Then how did the evergreen skins get added, they are mostly wearing leaf as clothing and armour, isn't that too fantasy? Stratego, a few joke skins won't hurt, they the few suggestions aren't really joke skins like spongebob characters but more like Halloween or Christmas theme.

But atleast add a few of them, including my punk rock bard as i wanted a bard skin for long now.

as i wrote punk rock is not possible. not mediaval themed.

Wow guys, seriously, I'm impressed. That's some good artistic talent, I can't even draw stick men!

@Hyuhjhih - Hyu, your Herbalists made me laugh, great examples of the silliness I enjoy. Shame it might not go anywhere. I firmly believe in the juxtaposition of the sublime and the ridiculous - there is no point being intelligent if we can not also be silly

@QuadrupoleStrat - Quaddy, that's amazing mate! I might be asking your permission to use that as my avatar (I am a bit of a Punk Rocker irl, but with acoustic cos I travel a lot).

Sounds like a loophole to me Quaddy ....Hmm, I think I know someone who's been making campaigns recently...chap called BadNorth. He's pretty good at it tbf. Maybe we should get him on-board

I think you only read my second reply
Any comments about the evergreen skinpack?

Yes

Though, i can't imagine Silly units in a campaign.

evergreen is not that fantasy for me, only a green uniform - but we can remove if it looks too fantasy

What if it was a silly campaign?

(Author's note to anyone who is slow on the uptake - phoenix is in a silly mood )

This is going to be a seriously unpopular opinion , but I'm loving the fact that I don't have to bother with Christmas this year - gonna be the best Christmas ever, I can totally ignore it

They use leaves as shields, leaves as armour, etc.
Removing it is unnecessary imo. It can stay for being the first AoS skinpack, and could be a slight advertisement for AoF. It would be sad for players who bought all evergreen skins with it being suddenly removed.

naturally we can give them another instead - or make them less fantasy like - however i had not problem with it (seemed no fantasy)
