My recollection is that the process would be that multiple minis would be nominated and discussed and then a public vote would be held (usually one vote to get down to 2-3 nominees and then a final vote) and then a mini would be selected for a group design where the entire public would be involved suggesting powers, names, stats, etc. followed by public playtesting and tweaking until the group thought it was ready for SoV submission.

After an SoV submission, the process would start again with miniature nominations.

The project died during the second unit design and, as superfrog mentioned, the first submission made it past the initial SoV judges vote, but was rejected in unified fanscape review.

The project, in general, suffered from the lack of design leads or management positions (in my opinion), but opinions varied strongly on that subject.

Re: Boot Camp of Valhalla Reboot -- Interest Check

I've always had a lot of affection for the BCoV, even if they both hit walls pretty hard and fell to the wayside (how did I end up leaving both of them??). I think it's a lot harder than it looks to put this sort of thing together - none of the "community units" submitted to the SoV ever made it through - but I'd love to follow along and see where it goes, at least.

Re: Boot Camp of Valhalla Reboot -- Interest Check

I'm definitely interested in following this thread to see where it goes. Like I said in SF's thread, I love the mini and of course I'm gonna throw ideas out there.

Yeah, I think the first go-around produced a very interesting card (although I think the Warrior synergy was a bridge too far, you could get this huge attack boost once Raelin died).

Not sure why the second one fizzled out as it did.

If we were to copy the old idea 100%, we could do a poll to pick the figure, definitely. I just saw a lot of interest in this specific sculpt when I posted a design in my customs thread (and the design was nothing remotely special).

I think this is the sort of project that @Lamaclown might be a good facilitator for. Plus it gives people the chance to act on his most recent customs advice!

I think that everyone’s life got in the way for the second project. It happens unfortunately.

Re: Boot Camp of Valhalla Reboot -- Interest Check

In spire of what I said earlier, I have had some ideas occur to me for the this miniature (if we do decide to use it, in any case). I understand a lot of other people are kept busy by life commitments and other commitments on this site, so if there was need for me to take a more active role I would be willing to step in.

Of course, SoV designing isn't my usual wheelhouse, so this would be contingent on this project having no issue with my relative lack of experience.

And the nice thing about a project like this is that it's really a no-experience-necessary type of thing. Sure, it helps to know what types of things are likely to run into problems with the SoV judges (like Raelin synergy), but anybody can contribute and have their ideas folded in. It's a very low bar for involvement, and that's on purpose.

I really like this as it allows for newer designers to be a part of a community project.
Great thought reviving this, SF!
I would be willing to be a part of this in whatever capacity I am able.

Re: Boot Camp of Valhalla Reboot -- Interest Check

Okay, it looks like we have a fair amount of people interested (AYP, Astro, Lama, P_K, johnny139, fs93). Definitely enough to get this going.

So, do we want to pursue this mini (which likely involves somebody buying it and checking that it fits on a peanut), or open it up to other nominations?

Re: Boot Camp of Valhalla Reboot -- Interest Check

I'm interested, but can't promise I'll always be here. I'll certainly try to drop in when I can though.

I don't feel particularly inspired by that mini, but that doesn't really mean a whole lot.

Re: Boot Camp of Valhalla Reboot -- Interest Check

I like the mini a lot, though without scale its hard to tell if it would go on a peanut base, a large single base, or if none of those would work. My preference is to stick with it.
