Re: Sherman's Lord of the Rings customs - Treebeard

I like both of these a lot! The Ent is a solid representation of them, and I like the power level relative to the official/VC/custom Orc units that I’d use them against in scenario play. Treebeard’s...

Re: Dignan's Customs - New Unit 4/27/23

Oh my, I love it! Top to bottom, stats to theme, powerset to sculpt and paintjob, it all meshes together so well. Looks like a blast to include in any Samurai build, or a fun can-opener to pair with...

Re: SoA's Customs: ULLAR CAVALRY, 4/24

After workshopping the Roman Cataphracts, I still had cavalry on the brain, but wanted to carry it in a different direction, and at a greater scale. Rather than a standalone unit or one that fits...

Re: SoA's Customs: PIRATES & TREASURE (GLYPHS), 4/4/23

Thank you for stopping by and offering feedback, Myriadite! Even if I don't use the mechanic on this particular unit, an Exoskeleton-type power on a squad that fills a different role in army building...

Re: Shadowking's Customs v.2 - 20/04/23 Rangers and Cultists

Interesting cards! I threw some notes together for the Rangers (I'd like to think some more about the Cultists):

It's a little odd that they're called Rangers but their class is Scouts, only...

Re: SoA's Customs: PIRATES & TREASURE (GLYPHS), 4/4/23

Thank you, caps! :)



There were a lot of choices I made for this draft that could have easily gone the other way, so this analysis is as useful to me as it is interesting. While I didn't...

Re: The Book of Ebon Armor

I'm pretty sure the pictures we're seeing do have a dark wash applied to the metal.[/QUOTE]

They absolutely do. I use Citadel Nuln Oil on all raw metal sculpts before I photograph them to show off...

Re: SoA's Customs: ROMAN CAVALRY, 4/10

I don't design many Common Squads, and I'm not totally sure why. Is it because they're more complex of an undertaking than heroes? Is it because I try to use miniatures that are widely available, and...

Re: SoA's Customs: PIRATES & TREASURE (GLYPHS), 4/4/23

Man, I hadn't given any thought to trying to design in the space of the AoA Pirates, but it makes sense as an alternative to the weird Rogue space the Buccaneers exist in. Gotta give that some more...

Re: SoA's Customs: PIRATES & TREASURE (GLYPHS), 4/4

Since I had pirates on the brain, here's another rough sketch of a unit to go with Captain Gale: Bosun Brackenmaw.

The miniature is the Wereshark Pirate, from Pathfinder Battles' old Skull &...

Re: SoA's Customs: PIRATE CAPTAIN, 3/31

I tend to notice the same thing in customs with built-in treasure glyphs, which is why I really only tinker with this concept for units that have some synergy with Locksley and the Brigands. It's...

Re: SoA's Customs: PIRATE CAPTAIN, 3/31

Mechanically, because I like her as a bonding option for the Nottingham Brigand.

Thematically, because I envisioned her as the type of Captain who doesn’t always have a crew at her disposal, so I...

Re: SoA's Customs: PIRATE CAPTAIN, 3/31/23

These days, it takes a really fun miniature to get a rough sketch out of me, and a Tiefling Pirate fits that bill. The sketch is really rough, with too many bells and whistles attached, but until I...

Re: Sherman Davies' LotR customs - Aquilla FlagBEARer

The decision of whether to include a d20 power or not is something I've struggled with when putting together drafts for an Aquilla flagbearer. It always struck me as appropriate to include, because...

Good question! Definitely not. You can only reveal an "X" Order Marker if the card text specifically says so, as in: "you may reveal an "X" Order Marker to activate yada yada special power..."

For a more balanced Ataraxis + Skeletons build, I would actually ditch the vampires in favor of a special attacker and/or can opener. Something like Major Q10 + Marcu Esenwein, or anything else in...

Re: Heroscape: Age of Annihilation is here! Back it on Hasla

Nicholas Esenwein was the VC unit I saw that made me go “I gotta try the rest of the stuff these people are making.” Biases are in order.
