Worse than more cutters or brutes whenever that’s an option. A good option when figure limits force you to fill in. B-

Re: The Book of Urk
 

I like this guy but is he an official release yet? Just kinda popped up here.

Re: The Book of Urk
 

He was approved by the SOV, which is a part of VC (Valhalla Customs). He's official for Heroscapers, he's not a HeroScape release.

-NS, hoping that helps

Re: The Book of Urk
 

Linkify!

Re: The Book of Urk
 

I'm looking forward to trying him with the Horned Skull Brutes.

Thinking about running...

HSB X3
Deathreavers X4
Urk


...in a 450 point army tournament with no start zone restrictions. Anyone played with Urk yet that may have some constructive criticism?

Re: The Book of Urk
 

My Urk is also in the mail.:) Maybe get him today. Cutters would be fun to run instead of Deathreavers. The two are both annoying to fight. That looks like a fun build. I'd probably run cutters instead just because they also have synergy as well. It'd be more flexible with OM placement while Urk is alive. I have two set ups that I may run. They are both just fun to think about, not really a shoo in for the win though.

Re: The Book of Urk
 

That looks like an *awesome* build. HSBs + Rats are great, and Urk brings some nice things to the mix.

Re: The Book of Urk
 

Well, after playing that army, I discovered that 4X rats is too much chaff. Even with 16 rats, range was still able to occasionally sneak in and kill a Brute. And when the Brutes go down, this army really feels it.

I did really like playing Urk, though. I tended to use him early in the game to get my HSBs onto road tiles in hordes. After that, I would use him as a clean up character. Except for the time I was facing Tor-Kul-Na and he was my only non-insta stampable character! He got pretty brave then.

@Ninja Status - add to Synergy Benefits Received
MORGOLOTH: Swarming Vermin
Friendly small figures who follow Utgar or Valkrill are never attacked when leaving engagement with a figure within 5 clear sight spaces of Morgoloth.

Core Goblin army:
Urk - 65 =
Horned Skull Brutes x 3 - 225
Goblin Cutters x 2 - 100
= 295 (18 spaces)
Then add based on point value & spaces of what you are playing to:
Morgoloth - 140
Hydra/Nakita Agents/Realin 2 - 120
Krav Maga Agents - 100
Raelin - 80
+1 Horned Skull Brutes - 75
+1 Goblin Cutters - 50

Done, nice catch :up:

Re: The Book of Urk
 

Does Goblin Sneak Attack work universally, for all your figures, or only when Urk attacks?
