C3V Wave 15: Week 3
DISCLAIMER: This is not official. This is a fan made custom project.
C3V Public Announcements Thread
This is where you can go to get started with C3V (Classic Customs Creators of Valhalla): Welcome to C3V!!!.
This thread lists all the units C3V has released: C3V Books of Index.
Skeletons of Annellintia
Utgar has finally been able to summon some of Cyprien's army to Valhalla. The Skeletons of Annellintia have arrived!
When we first saw these sculpts, we knew exactly what niche they should fill in the Heroscape universe. They needed to be swarming, like Zombies--thus, Undead Legion. But how could Cyprien control them? Did bonding make sense? Probably not, since Cyprien is so powerful by himself. So the designers created the Reanimation mechanic, where destroyed Skeletons have a chance to come back and Cyprien (as well as other units) can become Skeleton factories by using the Necromancy power.

Skull Demon
Next, we have the Skull Demons, a new uncommon hero for Valkrill. Yes, that's right: hero.
Our designers started looking at these sculpts, and, since some of them were only available in the Army Box, we decided to break new ground by using four sculpts for one uncommon Unit. Uncommons need differentiation anyhow, so now we have an uncommon unit where all the work is done for you.
But what about powers for these guys? Well, they look more demonic than undead, so we made them Demons and gave them Frightening Presence to reflect their fearsome appearance. Also, we gave them the ability to boost the melee units of Valkrill's Army, turning them into sergeants in the field.
PDF (includes all 4 cards)
This week's glyph is the Glyph of Xipta. It's a tricky glyph that forces your opponent to rearrange their Order Markers, adding a new wrinkle to the game of Heroscape.

Next week, we've got a new spellcaster and a female Warlord who wields a magical artifact of Einar, plus a reckless brawler and a slippery rogue.

The figures used for this unit are Confrontation figures from the Rams set. They are available from the Ram Army Box (16 figures), Abysmal Skull Unit Box (4 figures), or Necromancer Skull Unit Box (4 figures). The name of the figures is Skeleton Thralls.

Wow!
We are playing Heroscape at this very moment. Excellent timing. The Skeletons were the ones I have been looking forward to the most. Looks like they will not disappoint. Great work! |

These look great! It's nice to finally see Cyprien's army, and I like how the demons came out. Can't wait to try them out!

Wow! I use color poker chips to mark my uncommon heroes, but exploiting the different sculpts on the Skull Demon is really inspired.

While everything else about this wave so far is amazing, shouldn't the "Attack Aura 1" be an "Attack Enhancement"?

Well would you look at that. Khosumet's is an Attack Enhancement is it not?
EDIT: Nope, its just Relentless Assault. Hmm, could have sworn there was some unit with Enhancement in instead of Aura 1... |

Skeletons look awesome! If only I had seen the super sale on Ram Army boxes before the prices got raised a while back...well, and known that there would be a C3V and known that they would make an awesome skeleton card, etc...

At first I was thinking, "Holy cow! These skeletons are going to crush everything, especially with their Necromancy ability. Then I saw the price tag of 105 pts. That's close to an average of 2 other common squads, but if these guys can constantly be "necromanced" they'll be deadly. But if you think of it, the odds are that 2 of the 4 will be able to come back (the first time they're rolled) if the Esenweins are in play. So... you might think of it as a squad of 6 for 105 points. ... Hmmm. Just thinking.
Still, they look awful fun to play! |

I had high expectations for the skeletons, and this surpassed all of them. Brilliant idea to use the Vampires as "spawning grounds". O can't wait to use the skellies!
The skull demon seems unimpressive at first, then I noticed Death Knight bonding! They can double up on attack boosts if needed with Taelord (and multiple SDs!). They can work with a bunch of other Valkrill figures too, you guys pullled of Battlefield Sgt. well. I cant wait for the final booster next Weds! |
