Re: Flameslayer Customs (Large Expac: Eruption of Power)
It is an unarmed dude, but since he's a hero and a secret agent (and psychic), I figured the 4th attack die works well. Extensive training lets Monks throw 4 dice after all, so why not an agent?

Re: Flameslayer Customs (A travesty on my part)
Cool! I’m guessing your intent is to make him melee only when he deploys a pylon. If so, setting his range to 1 rather than reducing it by 5 might be cleaner. If he has a range bonus such as that one glyph, he may still be able to attack from range depending on the order of application.

Re: Flameslayer Customs (Large Expac: Eruption of Power)
Gralsbur: Launching destructible objects that act as little tesla towers is pretty neat. I do have to say though that the Pylons aren't very strong. Only going off once a round and only wounding adjacent units on a pretty low roll makes them not too much of a threat. They're more dangerous to attack really. Maybe their true use is for blocking spaces in chokepoints His being ranged helps the Axegrinders immensely.
Gnoll Lancers: A neat play between their two powers: Flanking to reduce defense to 2 for an Attack boost is quite handy and also thematic with Gnolls' wolf/hyena style. It also works with other Valkrill units. 2 Defense on a Unique Squad is pretty brutal though even at the low cost. ~TAF TAF was the Storyteller... in THE ENEMY'S LAST RETREAT |

Yeah, that's the gist. I may be better off changing the wording to say that he can only attack adjacent figures this turn when he deploys a pylon so that no range stacking shenanigans can occur. Quote:
Blocking up chokepoints was the real key for Gralsbur. He acts as a leader by blocking things up for the Dwarzgo Empire Gunners to launch their grapeshot at enemies (thematically anyway). The weaker d20 powers of the Pylons is more so that they didn't feel too difficult for slow melee armies to deal with, since they either have to attack it, or suffer the occasional jolt. Plus, Dwarves are typically depicted as slow. It wouldn't make much sense for them to create weapons more effective against them then their enemies... right? Right? And I agree, the Gnolls may end up being too weak with only 2 Defense. Maybe when I get to testing them I'll see about upping it 3 to at least give them half a chance at surviving. At least you have 4 figures... Thanks for stopping in gents! My customs. NE Ohio Tourney - TBA SW Ohio Tourney - NHSD 550 points AotV - Colliding the minis of AotP with the world of HS. |

Re: Flameslayer Customs (Large Expac: Eruption of Power)
I'm a fan of the gnolls, i've been playing with a Gnoll Archer hero and would like to pair them on the board sometime for some fun theme
I don't think they are too expensive. They are comparable to tomb skeletons but pretty much better in every way. They have move of six, which is better than boosted skeletons and their capture the weak with a higher move will help them to move in on Wait then Fire squads. Though I have a question on that, is the ability looking at what the figure's current defense is counting bonuses like height and raelin aura or is it looking at the defense number on the card. If it checks the number then it definitely gives them some good matchups, if it looks at defense after bonuses then I would say it is much more limited. Regardless, I think that a cheap 4 man squad that can move quick, take height, and throw some dice with flanking could be worth the points as a spin on the clean up squad. Lore question, I never imagined gnolls to be that small. Do you have a miniature for this? I typically see them depicted as humanoid sized. |

Thanks for popping in Shiftrex! To answer your question regarding the relative size of the Gnolls, I've got a picture. I took some artistic liberties with the DnD model, but the Mage Knights models are all pretty short. You are supposed to consider Capture the Weak after Flanking, so even though Raelin 1.0 is a thing, when she isn't you can sometimes reduce a 3 defense creature to a 2 defense creature with Flanking (and then you get the extra attack die). These guys aren't really gonna hold a line and can't compete with real lineholders, but they can harass an army down before/after the real army does their job. My customs.

Re: Flameslayer Customs (Large Expac: Eruption of Power)
Sooner than 6 months this time, eh?
Aeven: Nice to see another unique aura kyrie. Drinks are definitely on Deathwalkers whenever this guy's around. Having to kill him first is a pain to be sure, especially with 4 defense as opposed to the usual 3 for Kyrie Warriors. Because of that he might be too strong with Raelin next to him--having 5 Life and 6 Defense and making her immortal until he dies is pretty brutal. I'd consider maybe limiting it to Utgar figures like Torin does to ensure it doesn't get out of hand in that way, and to make him reserved more for unique builds such as Minions of Utgar armies. Null Command: I don't know what even to make of the unit: what the mini is, the power, the price, how good or bad it'd be. It's certainly a chaotic design and right in line with Valkrill for that reason. Sir Hendrix: Unholy Oath is an interesting mechanic as it affects everyone. Because he's a death knight and boosts initiative I do find it odd that he's not Relentless so he can bond with Death Knights of Valkrill and work in Knights of Blackgaard armies. I would potentially consider changing his first ability from taking a turn to just Moving and Attacking with the slain unit, to avoid turn stacking abilities such as Bonding. Either that or have you gain control of the unit for that immediate turn a la Mind Flayer so you could still use special powers without inadvertently taking control of other units. ~TAF TAF was the Storyteller... in THE ENEMY'S LAST RETREAT |
