I agree with caps, I like where you are at with it, but am curious as to your initial design thoughts on where it fits in the faction.

[old-man-back-in-my-day voice] When we first started the Thralls in the C3V we tried to make each one unique in use and theme. I agree with PK that I like a ranged Thrall. The common thread, however, throughout the Thralls is the self-destructive nature of them. Each one had a strength that acted as destructive weakness as well. Now, this is your custom, not a VC unit, so go with what you really like, but it is missing the self-destructive nature of the other Thralls so it doesn't feel quite as Thrall-ish as I think it could. Now, I am so far removed from my time in C3V that there may be a Thrall coming down the pipeline that breaks from this mold so take what I say with a grain of salt. [/old-man-back-in-my-day voice]

The self-destruct thing is a big deal for Thralls, I agree. All 4 Thralls we have have some power that causes them to die (Blood Hunger, Return to the Grave Special Attack, Engorge, and Pounce). This continues the pattern with Unstable Surge, which is arguably the most likely to cause death of any of those powers (since it triggers every time you take a turn). I think you probably missed the fact that you have to roll to kill your own Surgecoil Thrall every time you take a turn with it.

They also fill a different role than any other Thralls by having the potential to wound multiple figures on their turn. Most other Thralls are anti-hero.

All that to say, I agree with your analysis of what Thralls should be, and I made a conscious effort to fit that mold.

Still not 100% sure that I'm sold on my own theme explanation, but I think I'm like 90% sold. If Nicholas can turn an elf into an undead dog, I'm sure he can make these guys.

I'm a dink. After reading your reply I went back and re-read the card. Yep, it is in there.

Nothing to see here, move along...

So, I like it

You could easily say it was Esenwein using forbidden science to Frankenstein a corpse back to life with the power of electricity.

Also, it might be cool to have the Surge be able to "leap" to further figures as a semi-ranged ability.

Yeah, that's a good way of expressing what I had in my mind

I'll consider that if I ever feel these guys need a boost. Right now, I'm content for the Darkprowl to be a "ranged" option for the Thralls.

A little lasso action for the Lawmen.

Some inspiration from @Astroking112 , especially for the personality.

Thanks for pointing me to this miniature, by the way.

Re: Superfrog's Customs - Levi Wade 3/22

Huh. We talked about this in the discord, but I honestly didn’t think it would turn out this good.

I’d still probably rather give him a 2 at range and just assume he has a gun, but the ability set is perfect.
