Robb's Custom Figures - UPDATED (Added Elf 07-14)

[robbdaman]

After a little bit of testing with Schriev I've decided to remove Frenzy entirely, I am now of the mind that most units in the game should not have the ability especially a powerful melee unit that flies. With it she definately should be around 200 points in cost, I would rather lower some stats and reduce her strength.

The wording on Eshan uses Nature Door as a verb which might be weird I guess. I could add the word use without a problem.

Thanks for the kudos on Vierr, he seems well balanced although I still may change around his special attack some to make it more in line with power levels like the rest of the game (not including Silver Surfer, who would ever use his normal attack?).

New custom elf, elementals and insects added! I also have a Water Elemental coming.

Those wasps are awfully powerful for only 85 points. Maybe if they could only roll once for poison sting, but three chances to continue to inflict wounds against potentially three different figures per activation seems like a lot.

Looking forward to the other elemental.

Yeah, 85 could be a low cost overall and it'll probably end up more in Sentinel/Minion range after testing I'm guessing. Against squads the poison sting is pretty much useless since with them you hit, you kill and inflicting damage with 2 dice against most 75-150 point heroes reliably is unlikely so I think 85 is a good starting point even with 3 chances.

They are modified HellWasps from the recent Against the Giants D&D Miniatures set. I like the idea of squads having various sculpts so I took an exacto blade, superglue and paint to them before putting them on bases.

I'll put up the original and my mods in my paint and mods thread sometime.

Added the Water Elemental to the list.

Made a couple important changes to Schriev, still may reduce her Evasive down or change the ability to something else less efficient after a tad more testing. Cost of the Wasps will be increasing as initial tests show they just have too much potential punch against unique heroes.

I dont know if its just me but it seems that your earth elemental is way overpowered. In my opinion for only fifty points he has way to good of stats.

He's mostly untested at this point. His move of 4 will be a deterrent but since he can be summoned into the front of the battle that may not be enough. I may drop his defense and life some and even his move to 3 if I feel it is necessary although I think that would make him very limited. He'd never be able to catch any ranged unit.

Updated Gor'Vath with some better wording of his Fetid ability, should make it more in line with other official figures and clear up some thoughts.
