I really like these dwarves, they remind me a lot of the very first custom I posted on this site. It was a unique elf squad and a unique elf hero. The elf hero had a pretty cool "Two-Sword Defense" ability while the squad had an op "bond-with-anyone" ability. They were supposed to be linked theme-wise, but in my mind you were supposed to use the two together as well, even though the hero didn't do anything in particular for the squad. I'm kind of getting the same vibe from this much (much much much) more polished custom, and I'd really suggest you work toward making Dalmar work well with the squad, even if he doesn't have some explicit synergy. I think themed but not super-synergistic hero-squad combos, ala Concan and the Sentinels or the Vikings or, heck, I'm sure there's some more, I think they're a bit underrepresented in fanscape.

I think that the protector ability is all the synergy Dalmar needs to have with the Great Axes. I think it's a good call to add that synergy. When I first found this set, I made them a 5 figure common squad. Dalmar then came into existence as an Uncommon hero, with a 4 figure common squad. And then they all became unique. Several Iterations later, and many small changes, they were brought them here. Dalmar isn't really supposed to have any specific synergy, The theme is just another Dwarven clan/kingdom/city sending their elite reinforcements to the war effort. Quote:
Anyway, this is my line of thinking. Even if you don't agree, I hope it makes sense. My Custom Designs.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
Lilja by
@Lamaclown
Trying to live and love, With a defense that can be broken, Is like trying to see the light with eyes that can't be opened. Yeah, we both carry baggage, We picked up on our way, so if you review me do it gently, And I will do the same. She may shine, she may shatter, We may be picking up the pieces here on after, She is fragile, She is a golem, She is shaped by the skulls she lets through her defense roll, But will she break fast, cause she is glass? Or will she shine on into the SoV? -- Balance Her stats are fine for her point cost, especially since she has a negative power that can reduce one of them. Neither of her two positive powers are doing anything outlandish compared to similar heroes in her range. -- Theme Theme is a little weird here to me. I guess I tend to think of glass shattering as more of an 'all or nothing' deal instead of an incremental effect, but I can live with it. There's at least a clear thematic flow between the effects of her two new powers. -- Creativity There's a neat dynamic here where she turns her negative power into something positive-ish. She wants high defense early to not get wrecked by ranged attacks, but in the late game the lower defense makes her shards a bit scarier. Cool stuff. -- Playability Lilja felt like a pure 'blitzkrieg' style unit to me, you really just want to charge into someone (ideally multiple someones) as quick as possible and see who goes down first. I played her pretty much exclusively with Talingul, as he lets you be a lot more aggressive with her without worrying about losing Order Markers when she cracks under pressure. She's not as great as a solo act. In general, I didn't worry too much about setting up the perfect Shard explosion or what-not. The psychological pressure she can put on your opponent by playing fast and cavalier and basically just forcing them to deal with her was worth the price of admission to me even if she didn't strictly earn her points back in wounds. Likewise, I didn't shy away from taking leaving engagement attacks if it proved useful. I see her as a unit with 2 defense and a power that wants her to die, with those other 3 defense just an early bonus. Embracing that idea generally gave me more... explosive... results than trying to protect her defense dice and playing cautiously did. Also worth noting here is that you can trigger shards yourself if you want to, which can be a pretty potent 'combo' move in a Talingul army since you can charge her into a group of figures, attack, and then detonate her with another construct all with out losing much efficiency. I used this a few times, especially when the other team had Special Attacks. Not necessarily something you should be aiming to do, but it's an important tool in her arsenal. -- Summary Overall, I'm fine with Lilja. The theme doesn't quite resonate with me, but it is a lot of fun charging at people with a giant glass woman who's ready to explode at any moment. I for one am ready to stain her glass with the blood of my enemies. I vote to induct Lilja to the SoV.
