I second this request. I like the look of the mini and its synergy with the M-43s, so I'd like to have the option of purchasing the figure before it gets approved if possible.

Whoops.

The figure used is Human Soldier of Fortune from the Star Wars - Clone Wars line.

[Scytale]

The offensive output doesn't worry me. Syvarris can easily do two attacks of 4 at range 10 for 15pts more.

I like the reuse of Sighting, and Battle Rifle is nice and simple (enough so that I kind of wish it had a more generic, reusable name). He almost falls into the "just another unique hero" category, but being sci-fi (instead of fantasy) really helps, and Mariedian synergy is a big deal.

Thank you. I ordered the figure and hope that the card gets SoV approved.

"Rendar Fy" sounds funny next to "Jarek Guy".

[Leaf_It]

Is it pronounced Rendar Fi, like Fly, or Rendar Fee, like Free?

Also, I'd like to submit my Specters of Aldorn

Spoiler Alert!

NAME = SPECTERS OF ALDORN
GENERAL = VYDAR
PLANET = ARCTORUS
SPECIES = UNDEAD
UNIQUENESS = COMMON SQUAD
CLASS = SPECTERS
PERSONALITY = TERRIFYING
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 4

1 LIFE (4 FIGURES)
6 MOVE
1 RANGE
2 ATTACK
3 DEFENSE
50 POINTS

Phantom Walk
Specters of Aldorn can move through all figures and are never attacked when leaving an engagement.

Levitation:
Specters of Aldorn do not take falling damage and may ignore all effects from terrain tiles they move onto or occupy.

Deathly Touch
When attacking with the Specters of Aldorn, any figures that a Specter of Aldorn moved through this turn, subtract 1 from their defense.

Balance/Playability- The specters are a bit tricky to play, which fits well with Vydar. They don't hit very hard, and against the wrong army, they fall pretty fast, but when positioned well, they can feel great. Phantom Walk gives them the mobility they need to be effective, and Deathly Touch compensates for their low attack. Their threat range is 6, but they are most effective when their enemy is within 4, so that they can pass through, and activate Deathly Touch.

Creativity/Theme- Vydar's army already has the undead mummies, and now he has opened his ranks to the Specters of Aldorn. The specters are the embodiment of a spooky spirit, that has come to haunt, or scare the enemy. The combination of powers allows them to move through figures, and deathly touch seals the ghostly theme. I think it's a little funny that none of the existing phantom/ghost-like cards in heroscape, or the C3V/SoV, use the Phantom Walk ability, despite the name.

The figures used for the Specters are from the Nolzur's Marvelous Unpainted Miniatures "Ghost & Banshee" and "Wraith & Specter" sets, which are currently in production from Wizkids.
