Or a "Mok doesn't have to include Dwarf army anymore" patch. Unless said cheap Squad was Unique, as that might give some incentive to bring the usual Dwarves simply for the sake of replacing killed gunners.

I'm not that up-to-date competitively, but is Mok considered bad? He certainly feels better than similar units like Jotun and Bramcephys to me.

Hello,
I was hoping to get some people's opinions on a unit idea I am working on. The thing I am toying with is a knight on a horse that, once killed, dismounts the horse and continues fighting on foot. How I was thinking of going about this would be similar to iskra and the wretchets, two seperate cards, where the dismounted unit can only be placed via the power of the mounted unit. I was thinking the knight on the horse could have higher defense, around 5, with low lives, E.G. 3. Then the dismounted unit would have reduced move and defense, with some different powers. What do people think? is it to weird or awkward? Are there any glaring problems you see with this idea? Please just let me know your honest thoughts! I really like the miniature, his name is Thurbard from confrontaion age of rag'narok. From the box set temple of the north hero set. I was trying to post a picture, but I am having a hard time figuring it out! Thank you for your time and feedback!

Hello again KoL,
Nice to see you posting in the custom creation quadrant. I like the idea of a dismounting knight. There is 1 custom I know of, a Dwarf Cavalry hero that when killed leaves behind an axegrinder.Perhaps you can you use it as an ability reference. I enjoy your idea of the 2 separate heroes more and these kinds of symbiotic paired figures are underused in heroscape. Those Confrontation models look very cool for the knight. If this is intended for SoV however, these models would not work simply because of availability. If you want to stick with these models, there's nothing wrong with having them as a part of your own customs thread. Otherwise you'd need to find different minis for this idea that are well available. With a custom I made recently, the model I liked was too rare for others to use, so I found another suitable figure. So now I have 1 version of the card that is the rare figure in photo, and one with the more available figure.

There's not much else I can go off of without seeing fleshed out card schematics. Feel free to Pm me if you need any help on starting your own customs thread.

Hello! Very interesting! Thank you for your feedback, I must admit I was worried the figures availability would affect its chances in the SoV. So it’s good to know that that is an issue, I will definitely look around for what I can find! The only issue now is to find suitable, readily available figures! The main reason I was thinking about the dismounting unit was because the mounted and dismounted hero were clearly the same person. They have the same helmet, sword, and cape. My original intention was to create two separate characters because I absolutely love the miniatures, but all of my powers stemmed from parts of the miniatures. I kept asking myself, well why doesn’t that other unit have this power, they clearly have the same sword. Which was giving me a hard time, so I came up with this dismounting unit idea, that way things would feel more connected. I do want to submit this idea to the SoV. So I guess it will all depend on wether or not I can find a suitable replacement. That dwarf is very helpful with the wording! Thank you! Another issue I realized as I was writing the card down was that I would need to change one of the cards names, as cards that have the same name, but not the same card have a ruling, the uniques in a single army, like hrognak, sgt drake, etc. that could make this even more difficult! Probably for the best that I choose a different miniature. Thank you!

@KnightOfLight , please do not use this thread to workshop ideas. This thread is intended for units that have gone through the design and testing steps and the owner is looking for refinement for a possible SoV submission. I encourage you to create your own customs thread for questions like these.

Ah sorry! Will do!
