Boot Camp of Valhalla: Kobolds of Idona Keep (Reworking)
(If you don't understand what's happening, please read THIS thread to familiarize yourself with the Boot Camp of Valhalla process!)
So, our design is now set! Introducing the Kobolds of Idona Keep! Kobolds from Reaper: Legendary Encounters Quote:
PLAYTESTS VERSION 1 (Mob Attack, 50 Points) - Maklar the Silver Prince - Arch-vile - Viegon VERSION 2 (Flanking, 45 Points) - flameslayer93 - Maklar the Silver Prince - flameslayer93 - betawolf36 - Maklar the Silver Prince VERSION 3 (Avenge the Master, 45 Points) - Lyrgard - Maklar the Silver Prince - Ixe - Maklar the Silver Prince - flameslayer93 BONUS BIO CONTEST! While playtesting is going on, I'm also going to be collecting bios! Once we're in "final editing" I'll run a blind vote of all submissions and we'll see which gets the nod as official bio.

Re: Boot Camp of Valhalla: Reaper Kobolds (Design/Brainstorm
I think our first order of business is to clear away the most obvious things - are we doing Kobolds or using the figures for some other sort of unit? Then, and this will be a bit tough and require someone who owns the units, how tall are they, and which "help climbing things" power should we give them?

Re: Boot Camp of Valhalla: Reaper Kobolds (Design/Brainstorm
They also look like they could be wolf pups.
-- I'm a fan of Scale in places where there isn't precedent for using Climb instead. Heroscape has no kobolds, so I see no direct precedent, but they are similar to Goblins, which I believe use Scale.

Here is a comparison pic from ZBeeblebrox (I don't think he will mind me sharing this). These miniatures look like Small 2/3.

Small 2 looks like the ticket to me (since even the one standing up straight is smaller than the Goblin Cutter). Thanks.

I think going with something new will leave the options for the unit open, letting the community's imagination drive it instead of pre-established concepts. I also agree with Small 2, and right now I'm leaning towards Climb X2/3. Just my . C3G: Taking Superheroes to a Whole New Level! C3V: The Legacy of Classic 'Scape!

Re: Boot Camp of Valhalla: Reaper Kobolds (Design/Brainstorm
I suggest using Kobolds as the species and trying to work in their trap-making ability.

Re: Boot Camp of Valhalla: Reaper Kobolds (Design/Brainstorm
I agree with Viegon's sentiments regarding the species of the unit, and favor Climb X3 as a power.

Re: Boot Camp of Valhalla: Reaper Kobolds (Design/Brainstorm
I'd rather stick with Kobolds - but I'd be in favor of trying out new, different approaches to their flavor. It's not like Heroscape has ever been tied down to any sort of canon (before D&D at least).

Re: Boot Camp of Valhalla: Reaper Kobolds (Design/Brainstorm
So, Kobolds, but Heroscape Kobolds. Probably from Feylund.

Re: Boot Camp of Valhalla: Reaper Kobolds (Design/Brainstorm
In D&D Kobolds sometimes use rats as guardians. Perhaps we can get some Deathreaver synergy in there. Small Soulborgs would fit the Kobold theme of being good with things mechanical.

Re: Boot Camp of Valhalla: Reaper Kobolds (Design/Brainstorm
We shouldn't add any synergy to the game's most broken common squad
