Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
Vieryl
Seems like an interesting hero. 120 feels a bit high for me but I may be underestimating the value of Poisoned Arrows and Cloud of Darkness on a ranged unit like this. Still, Cloud of...

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
I'm curious about his Battlerush Ability. In my experience playtesting Agent Fawcett, having free movement from figures is surprisingly versatile. She can be moved more frequently but that requires...

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
I think Valguard is largely misunderstood. His bio calls out how his alien lizard arm gives him great "stamina" and increases his "blood lust," so I believe that is reflected in his high Life and his...

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
For other designers, I wanted to take a second to discuss some more nuance to this point. Since the SoV process requires miniatures in adequate price and supply as a starting point, many people have...

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
Spiked Shield seems like an interesting retaliation threat although it doesn't seem to provide much actual defense. Does he still get the damage if that last wound destroyed him (or if he was bumped...

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
Vantus the Tactician
I'm not feeling this one. First of all, he feels like he's being forced into the 10 point filler slot. The figure looks like a sturdy fighter which isn't being sold by the 1...

Master of Illusions/Deadly Illusions
This looks like a cool army. On his own the Master is very threatening with a double attack of 5 for your projected 150 points. Double attack aside, 5 just feels...

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
An SoV submission needs a reasonably made card image in order to be submitted. Since the testing and design process can be iterative, I don't feel that it is necessary to have a more final art...

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
I agree with superfrog that the spiked shield is the big standout on the mini but it really isn't represented between his powers and stats. Charging Assault on a base move of 6 may be a bit much. The...

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
I'm not the only judge, I'm just sharing my opinion of the unit. You could try to theme them as Rock or Stone Quasits and that's why they're demons but I think you lose a lot of the resonance that...

I see from your notes that these guys have gone through quite a few iterations and it shows in their design. While that process can make them a fun and more balanced unit, it...

I like the overall idea of this guy although I'm given pause over some of the details. On a more thematic level I don't like that his base move is 6. 5 is more traditional for for...

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
I'll echo everyone else. Two figures unique squads are difficult to pull off since their offense is cut in half if you just lose one of them. With so little offense to begin within and only marginal...

This has been brought up a few times now but as far as I can tell there is no real practical or historic use for a knife with blades on both ends. Throwing one of those is potentially dangerous and...

I wasn't in love with Bol following Einar and Aquilla isn't any better (worse, if anything). What misfits and second chances follow Aquilla? I know you're trying to add to a perceived cycle of 10...

There's no hard rule. One rule of thumb some go by is having enough copies for 75 people. For a cheap common hero that you want in multiples, that may mean having 300 copies available if people would...
