I have no idea about the cost, but I love the idea of an army with a few of these guys + Goblins. The other Bugbears can watch from home...

Very polished looking, qt. bangerang.

@Dad Scaper
Thanks for all the feedback!



I need more feed back or is he good the way I have him?

Ideally you'd get feedback from someone competent to play the Bugbear/Goblin army. I haven't tried & don't put myself in that group.

I don't have anything else.

My bad...I was meaning that I needed more feedback from others, not just you.

In theory, he looks great! The goblins don't need that much help with move in my experience, as they are getting attacked and die often, which allows them to scurry, but this might help them a bit. Anything that helps add to Heroscape Factions: Thematic Unit Groupings is good in my book, and this gives the goblins a hero to start with. I'd say the cost could be 30 or even 25, as both the Swog Rider and Dumatef Guard have the same right box stats and they bond with some of the most powerful squads in the game, so movement binding with goblins does not warrant a large increase in points.

I'm going to post a custom in my thread tomorrow that bonds with goblin brutes. So, I'd like to see him a little more different or even stronger than the regular horned skull brutes to match my guy :P

you left off a T in that in expendable rabble.

*i've never played with the goblin army either

[DeathDoom]

I think that Rabble Rouser might be better if it moves both small and medium goblin figures, which would make it a more appropriate leader for the Bugbears.
Alternately, it could be a unique leader with boosted stats and an improved Expendable Rabble power.
On the other (well, the third) hand, it looks pretty good as is!

@lefton4ya
Thanks for the feed back and I agree with you so I changed the points to 25.

@Jonny Jon
Looking forward to your custom...I think I will leave his stats where they are at tho. I would like him to be a cheap common Hero.

A few things:

Rabble Rouser right now only works on the Horned Skull Brutes. Your description states that it works on other goblins, but the card does not.

Having played Cutter and Brutes there is an obvious weakness to special ranged attacks and the need to clump all the goblins together to make Expendable Rabble work sets them up for the fall even more.

I played them against Mimring and Shotgun Sullivan which was not a pretty match. However, if you had a Horned Skull Champion to pull the survivors back together that would help them a lot.

I really like this custom and plan on play testing it sometime. I like that the bonding synergy comes from a one-life-easy-to-kill common hero. Makes you want to protect him and sacrifice your Cutters/Runners. Great work.

It only works on small Goblins...Cutters or Runners. The Brutes are Medium.

Haha I was reading Horned Skull Champion and my mind was thinking Horned Skull Brutes. Apparently I am not a very good reader.
