Scytale's customs - owlbear (new! 5/20/13)
After the end of Heroscape, I was inspired to delve into the world of customs creation. I ended up making far more than I ever expected. Any and all comments are always welcome!

new unit -- Krendal 5/13/13
I like seeing iconic D&D creations appearing in Heroscape, so I spent a little extra to get myself an Owlbear figure. Owlbears don't have crazy abilities like poison clouds or magic spells in D&D; they're really just brutish. So I tried to keep the design simple yet give it a bit of flavor. Krendal isn't flashy but he gets the job done.

Re: Scytale's customs -- set 1


These cards are phenomenal! I like the focus on the brutality and primal savagery on each of these cards. Really brings out the drawn-out, rock-'em-sock-'em melee that often plays out in 'Scape games.

These are great! Love to see more!

Re: Scytale's customs -- set 1
Really cool! Can you also list the names of the miniatures so others can get them too?

Re: Scytale's customs -- set 1
Thank you Deadliest, you made my day. Just keep watch; there are lots, lots more coming.

quozl (and to others who want to know), the figures are:

Raider -- Gnoll (Aberrations)
Raider -- Gnoll Sergeant (Giants of Legend)
Raider -- Gnoll Barbarian (Blood War)
Hyena -- Hunting Hyena (War of the Dragon Queen)
Brute -- Gnoll Maraduer (Dungeons of Dread)
Dagnyr -- Gnoll Demon Adept (Demonweb)

Unfortunately I wasn't able to find them cheap. Also, they don't all quite look the part; I almost completely repainted them to have the same fur and armor color.

Re: Scytale's customs -- set 1
Seems very good customs.

Pack Attack and Harry combined can be devastating.
With Pack Bonding and Animal Instincts, you will often achieve that killing-combo.

It is devastating, but in playtesting it doesn't happen as much as you might expect. It requires getting 4 figures adjacent to one figure. Enemy figures are usually unlikely to be standing alone without other figures covering them, or are hiding in harder-to-get-to terrain spots. Even if you can get it, you often find yourself choosing to spread out and attack (and hopefully kill) multiple figures instead of ganging up on one weakling.

In practice, it's a useful combination of abilites, but not one that takes affect more than a couple times a game. Really, most any time you can get 4 melee figures surrounding a single figure it's bad for that figure, Pack Attack + Harry or not.

Re: Scytale's customs -- set 1
I like what you did. These are well thought out and defined. I'm going to add them to my list of 'aquire and print'. Well done.

Great against lone melee heroes like Charos and Jotun though.
I agree.
You have done serious playtesting as I see

Unfortunately I don't know many players who are interested in playtesting 1v1 games. But thanks mainly to my cousin PCServbot, I have been able to do at least some testing with all of my customs. Enough to get a feel for how they play and do initial tweaking.

Re: Scytale's customs -- set 1
Heya Scytale,
Love them gnolls and they have always been one of my personal favorite monsters races. I wish WotC made another set as I'm sure they were on deck..../sigh
Anyway, feel free to submit them to the Auggies Bounty thread when your sure your done with any tweeking. I'd love to sell a few. Also, I would strongly suggest you switch to the hi rez Valkrill card floating around here somewhere as they look TONS better if you do. It's not requrired but card quality does help sales.
....Andrew
PS love the forum handle as I am a huge Frank Herbert fan (not so much Brian though)

Loaded the next set, Beastmaster Nadezhda Kurova's army. All in high-res this time (and the gnolls were updated to high-res as well, thanks for the advice Auggest).

Re: Scytale's customs - set 2 (4/22)
Inspired idea to use the Aspect of Loviator as a Beastmaster (Beastmistress?), whip in hand. The battlefield pic of her lined up with her menagerie is just wonderful.

Revitalize your 'Scape with Delta pricing.
