Come on @sundancer , you can do this.  As you know weird has many meanings.  We usually think about synonyms such as; unusual, uncanny, odd, different, ghostly, mysterious, etc.  That should mean anything that we don’t see in everyday life counts.  So pretty much any non-human fantasy miniature and/or anything magical, including Force users in your favoured Sci-Fi setting.

If that’s not doing it for you then why not think about the use of weird to describe someones fate or destiny.  Any miniature that represents a character with a defined fate or famous destiny would be good, so again in Star Wars any of the film characters, good or evil or not sure, are strong candidates.  Got Boba Fett, Luke, Darth or Han hanging about?

We know you have 40k Orks.  They have characters that are literally called Weirdboys, the new one of which helped inspire this choice of term. Maybe that would make a fun kitbash if you don’t have one to hand. I’d love to see an ork or grot with a Frostgrave wizard’s hat waiving a mysterious object in a threatening fashion.

We aren’t sticklers for the exact meaning of the chosen term.  You could even pick something entirely normal to submit which would make your choice “weird” in the context of everyone else submitting unusual or odd looking things.

So you can justify choosing literally anything.  The Ghoul?  Sure – why not.  Go on, grab something and get it all covered in paint.  We look forward to seeing what you choose when it’s done 🙂
