Carnevale’s Gifted Join The Commedia dell’Arte
March 13, 2017 by dracs
TTCombat is showing off some more of Carnevale's super-powered gifted, including the never before seen Commedia dell'Arte.
A Night At The Theatre
The Commedia dell'Arte was a form of theatre in which actors donned masks and took on specific, extravagant character types.
Such characters include Pantaleone (a greedy old man), Il Dottore (a know it all doctor) and Il Capitano (a swaggering soldier full of false bravado).
The Commedia is very much caught up in the carnival of Venice, so it is good to see such an iconic piece of the culture realised (it's also, incidentally, why some people say "pants" instead of "trousers").
The rules for the Commedia were included in the last version of the rules published by Vesper On, but I don't believe we saw any characters (aside from the Harlequin).
Familiar... Faces?
Aside from these performers, two of the games' more famous Gifted have also been redesigned.
First, there is Fadhila-Bint-Dahab.
Fadhila has force field powers akin to Marvel's Invisible Woman. I am very excited to see this model as I felt that her original sculpt was one of the few models in Carnevale that didn't quite work.
Even cooler though is the reappearance of The Aberration.
The Aberration was one of the most iconic characters of the original run of Carnevale.
TTCombat doesn't seem to have changed the winning formula of the model too much, although they have turned the gribbly up to eleven.
Fancy a night at the theatre? What do you think of TTCombat's take on these Gifted?
"They have turned the gribbly up to eleven..."

Those are very nice.
After tons and tons of really nice artwork and renders I would love to see an actual mini for a change…oh and some info on the “new” rules would be nice!

I am liking the remodelling a lot, does anyone know what sort of timeline we are looking at for release?
Just to confirm I’m not going mad… We don’t have a picture of the redesigned Fadhila do we? The one above is the original, isn’t it?
And isn’t that aberation the original too?
Yes both are the old models and I think we have never seen a new model, only artworks or renders.
