Would there be pushback against a marker if I did decide to pursue this route? We've seen with the Airborne Elite that some markers can be really simple in their use as a memory tool, and I agree that it would help players remember whether the aura is active or not. That could get confusing when paired with Marro Gnids or Viking Spirits in the same game, I think. Proud Member of Platyfly!

I'm surprised you think that a revealed Order Marker would still let him turtle. While yes, that's technically true, giving up 1/3rd of a round to better turtle is a waste. No one would give up their '1' just to sit there. Especially on a 5 Attack figure. |

Using a killed figure as the trigger instead of a revealed Order Marker is also a little bit weaker, leaving slightly more uncertainty as to whether he will be able to activate the aura (and forcing the player to consider putting more Order Markers on him to ensure that it triggers) along with giving the lower-attack armies more ways to play around him. I'm still mulling over which option would be the best route to take, since both do have notable advantages and drawbacks. Proud Member of Platyfly!

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
Looking for some feedback on the Shadow Demon below...SPECIFICALLY the change to the special ability. I had already been toying with the idea of a small range attack for their special, but wanted to see how they played without it first. I think it make sense that they're swooping in from a few spaces a way to deal damage on a confused and otherwise distracted opponent. It also forces the player to decide if they want to stay from range and attack or still go adjacent to increase the buffs of the other shadows. I like it, but was curious what others might think.

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
I don't particularly mind it, but it doesn't really excite me, either. I feel like the design is interesting enough without the added little bit of range (and it does feel a little weird to encourage the demon to sit back while you surround targets with other shadows), but I know that the faction as a whole has generally underperformed in your playtests.
I do think that the Special Attack currently evokes some kind of ranged shadow orb spell rather than the demon swooping in, though. If you want to keep this theme, then perhaps you could solve this (and prevent the demon from just continuously safely attacking a swarmed figure from range) by forcing the player to place the Shadow Demon adjacent to the defending figure after the attack?

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
I actually really like this idea. Kinda makes more sense than what TREX was saying and still can give adjacency bonus if it doesn’t kill the figure. Though, than it gets a little tricky if it kills the figure. Maybe it would take the place of the destroyed figure?

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
Now you have essentially a pounce SA without the same penalty that has applied to other pounce SAs in the past.
I'm smelling a lack of restraint in many areas of this faction.

Thematically I like the idea of moving the shadow as part of the attack, because it makes sense with a swoop, but I would do it like this: Quote:
