I am nominating my Prince Al'kahora design to the SoV for consideration.
--
Balance- Al'kahora brings a nice punch to the table, offering melee firepower previously unavailable in the 80-point price range. But his relative fragility for a melee hero--with only 5 life, 3 defense, and no defensive special ability--balance him out nicely.
Playability- Al'kahora builds on pre-existing powers in clean and simple ways. The mini looks good, is appropriately sized, and stands out on a Heroscape board.
Creativity- Both of Al'kahora's powers are elegantly exclusive of the other, a design space that has not often been explored in Heroscape designs. As I mentioned before, Al'kahora's price-point allows him to fill the vacuum of 80-point budget melee hitters.
Theme- A noble and skilled warrior can usually find himself at home in Valhalla.
Accessibility- The figure used is a Heroclix figures called Ian Nottingham. On abPrices alone I found 81, which is enough for a Unique Hero.
