Boot Camp of Valhalla: Kobolds of Idona Keep (Reworking)

[Crixus33]

I don't know giving them disengage feels like they'll just be small orcs for Jandar. The orcs are a fast moving swarm squad with little individual punch and disengage. These kobolds will be a fast moving, swarm squad with little punch and disengage. I don't know too similar for my tastes.

EDIT: If we were to give them disengage

[Taeblewalker]

I'm torn. I'd like to see the movement power, but these guys are pretty weak with their stats. Perhaps if we make them something like 35 points they will work out okay.

I'm not really a fan of Disengage on these guys. An option I'd like is something like the C3G Arkham Inmates have.

To save people the trouble of searching:

Frantic Disengage
If a figure rolls for a leaving engagement attack against an Arkham Inmate and does not roll a skull, the figure receives 1 wound.

I think their movement is fine at 6 without any other powers. I could even see it lower, but you can't win them all and I see your point. I think they would be fine at two abilities if we just bumped the attack and defense to 3, but we could also give them a true swarm power like this:

WHITTLE AWAY
If a figure is attacked by more than one reaper kobold, it role one less defense die for each attack.

Just my

With that power, it's better to give them an Attack of 2.

I like this, but it makes them too similar to the goblin cutters.

We could always reuse First Assault or Evasive or something like that. Conditional attack/defense boosts.

I like the idea of making them sentinels. They seem like they should be a major annoyance. How about...

Clinging Horde
If an oppenent's figure leaves engagement with Kobold, you may place this Kobold adjacent to the figure at the end of its move.

Force your opponent to deal with your cheap sentinels and if they choose to run past, they still haven't gotten rid of the Kobold!

[Crixus33]

If we make them sentinels then they should have in my opinion defensive or passive agressive (like cowards reward) abilities like a sentinel that is meant to defend something. Maybe we should decide a class first and then pick abilities that would fit that class.

I'm still hoping we can give them a sort of "responsive" power based on what a huge or large figure does. Yes that makes them situational, but there is nothing wrong with situational units in my opinion coming out from time to time.

That's my thinking, I don't want them to always have solid offense/defense, but I think they need something that can help them out in those areas (which is why I suggested Fearless Advantage). First Assault 1 would be fun.

Perhaps a power like...

Swarm
If no Kobold Guardians move during their movement phase, you may attack once with each engaged Kobold Guardian.
