Wander The Yellow Brick Road With Twisted’s Agents Of Oz
September 23, 2019 by brennon
Demented Games has introduced a new set of characters for the Guild Of Harmony in Twisted, their boutique and quite frankly stunning Steampunk game. Here we have the wonderfully whimsical and weird looking Agents Of Oz.
Here's some of the background on this group which is inspired by Dorothy and her adventures...
"A motley collection of free spirits held together by Young Dorothy as the sensible core, the Agents of Oz now comprise the most unusually charismatic team currently working for the Guild of Harmony.
Their disparate range of skills can be chaotic at the best of times, but when wrangled into a cohesive force through a gentle word from Young Dorothy the Agents of Oz prove capable of fulfilling any mission under the rainbow."
The set comes with Young Dorothy, Toto The Dogged, Haystack The Crow-Scared, Lackheart The Rusted and Pascal Du Lyon offering you a wonderfully diverse and interesting group which would be fun to get stuck into and paint.
Everything Demented Games bring to the tabletop is packed with detail and great for those that want to paint something utterly different and just waiting to be plastered in colourful and vibrant paint. I cannot wait to see what happens when people get stuck into painting these.
Are you tempted to pick up the Agents Of Oz?

Yet more awesome (if really messed up) offerings from Twisted! Given all of the other steampunky literary characters they’ve done, I’m surprised they didn’t do their take on the Wizard of Oz sooner, given how obvious it seems. Also, that scarecrow is mildly creeping me out.
may be a interesting gang for purged or horror games.
Some of the best looking minis in the industry.
Now if only someone who has a copy of Twisted would post a review of the game. I love the minis but haven’t found much substantive discussion of the game anywhere.
weirdly I’ve been talking to Demented Games recently about doing exactly that, so hopefully we will be able to sort this out soon
Hi man,
Peter here – Designer of the Twisted rules! You can check everything out for free on our website. I won’t post a link here (not sure if it’s cool or not). But you can download electronic versions of the rules there and check them out.
I’m always happy to answer any questions too!
Cheers
Pete

Absolutely stunning lookin band.
As I am firmly in the camp that the Wizard of Oz (ounce) is an economic analogy of monetary policy in 1890s USA, these, while gorgeous sculpts, don’t fit my mind’s eye of what they represent.
The only hiccup in that world view is the rest of the Oz books. I would be hard pressed to fit them into any economic analogy.
Economists didn’t really put two and two together until 1960s and the best paper on it is from the 1990s but it has been 20 years since I read it so the author’s name and even the journal it was published is lost to me. Too many coincidences for me.
I think he is referring to the fact that Oz the way Baum wrote it is, economically speaking, a communist dictatorship like North Korea except unlike North Korea everyone is basically good and everything one needs grows on trees in non standard colors.
i like the scarecrow… well all of them, but the scarecrow its cool
