I totally get this. But the way this plays out, it feels like, Thorian speed or something. The thing about an invisible demon dog that is so novel is that you don't know it's there until it's there! During a game of heroscape with these guys, both players would know where they are, which is not quite as novel. Obviously there are mechanical limitations with this; but as is the power gives me the feel of hounds that you can't shoot as opposed to hounds that you aren't aware of until you're in danger. Just some food for thought.

Maybe Demon?

I dunno... being dogs they are different, but it seems like we have enough clear/translucent plastic figures in the game now. I would actually feel better if they were related to the Specters of Aldorn somehow. This just feels like dipping back into the same well.

I really like Veil. That's a useful power that fits well with the theme you're going for.

Drag is pretty monstrous. 5 move away? 8 on road. The start-engaged requirement certainly makes it harder to pull off. But dang, that's a long ways to drag a figure. Seems like more than it should be. I actually like the restriction about placing the dragged figure on a space you moved over. It takes care of nasty lava-dunking problems neatly.

This theme cries out for being a Unique Squad, IMO.

I'm personally very resistant to any translucency. we have so much blob snot plastic in the game as it is. baring a large water construct or a tar monster it would be really hard to convince me we need more un painted figures

Balance: This human costs 205 points, not sure if that point value is right?

Playability: The powers are clear & understandable, I hope? Outlaw Attack Enhancement will enhance the attack of adjacent outlaw figure/s. His Outlaw Defense Enhancement will enhance the defense of adjacent outlaw figure/s. Dread, the Overboss is a boss to be feared.

Creativity: Dread, the Overboss has a devious personality, the Overboss class is new & it sounds good for a leader of outlaws. His Devious personality helps enhance his outlaws. The inspiration for the new Overboss came from Fallout 4 DLC and the devious personality enhances outlaws than having powers that enhance Dread.

Theme: I decided to use this miniature for this army card and he may be the first solo human hero that follows valkrill.

Accessibility: I have not search any other sites for this miniature yet, but I did check Troll & Toad.

DREAD, THE OVERBOSS

Fear the Boss 1/1

The figure used for this unit is Crossbones from Marvel Heroclix Set. The name and model number is Crossbones Secret Wars-Battleworld #004.

*sigh* here we go again. How many more times? Nobody knows...

[Lazy Orang]

Seriously, should we just block this guy? I'm genuinely wondering if he's a very bored troll.
Whatever the case, he's certainly not interested in ever listening to anyone.

You do not now who this guy is. I am bored, not because of being a troll, a troll makes life miserable because they have no life! The case being that I do not know every about this site, I only been here for a year or so.

You refuse to listen to what people have been telling you. STOP dumping not serious customs in serious threads.

You are basically a troll.

[MrNobody]

Guys please chill. I'm typing up a lengthy PM about this situation, can I include some people on it?

Sorry, I just wanted to help, you probably won't see the custom until the 24th or something. It helps elaborate things, instead of assuming you know everything, this being a troll which I have no knowledge of. I do not want to be a troll but I might accidentally become a troll because of reasons.

I don't anybody really believes you're a true troll, H101.

The problem here is you posted a new version of a design that hadn't seen any comments or playtesting. I know people have commented on your Dread, The Overboss design, but nobody had even seen this version of the design with these special powers before you posted it in this thread. You also didn't do any playtesting with this version of the design with these special powers. Every time you change the powers on your design you basically need to start all over with playtests in order to find the right point value.

SoV people, I think it might be reasonable to impose a limit on how often H101 can post a design in this thread. Give him a tangible guideline (say 1 design every month or whatever) and that might help him struggle a bit less with the etiquette of this thread.
