Phippo's Custom Units

[PHippo]

Hi there, I'm Phippo I've been an avid scaper and reader of these threads for the last 3 years or so but have only started posting this summer during the anticipation of Wave 9.

I've always been a little wary of unofficial units, but what with the slowdown in classic releases recently (we're not exactly getting 3 waves a year anymore) I decided to give unit-making a shot. So far I have been designing new units in waves more or less for the fun of it, here is the first wave and two squads from it (i'll try to update on a daily basis, so far I have three waves designed):

Wave 11 (classic)

Borgs and Bowmen
3 Soulborg Cats
4 English Longbowmen

Skeletons
3 Skeleton Cavalry
3 Skeleton Archers

elf wizard you control, before taking a turn with elven guards you
may first take a turn with the chosen elf wizard, elven guards roll
an aditional defense die when they are adjacent to the chosen elf

I haven't decided on point values yet since I haven't had a chance to play test (most of my scape collection is back home while I'm away at college)
Feedback is appreciated and if you'd like to play test the units yourself all the better

Interesting, I'm curioust see what you'll come up with for the rest. Methinks you should bring some Vydar units into the mix, though.

Added the skeletons to the first post, just some notes on these guys:
I based my design for the skeletons off of Cypriens bio and what I thought should characterize an undead army -that is- it's unwillingness to die
hence the strength of undeath ability
also gave the cavalry bonding wth Cyprien (and only Cyprien) I originally toyed around with the idea of vampire hero bonding but realized that a potential turn of Iskra+Rechets+Cavalry would be more than most armies could handle.
