Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
Alright, after some changes, and some careful playtesting... I would like to resubmit and nominate my custom Tetraites for your consideration, SoV. Tetraites was a renowned gladiator in Rome; known for his use of minimal armor and fighting bare-chested. His fame reached as far as England and France when he defeated the mighty Prudes. It was at this moment of victory and glory that Utgar summoned him to Valhalla, eager to make use of him in Taelord's Coliseum. Rather than miss the world he once knew, Tetraites relished the opportunity to spill the blood of not just man, but elf, dwarf, beast and giant alike. His name would be known, his name would be feared, his name is Tetraites.He is the Shoanti Gladiator from the Lost Coast Pathfinder Battles line.
Thank you for your consideration. Italics indicate additional notes from the original submission (except the back story) Sir Heroscape's Content

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
I actually like the new power a little less but I'm still ultimately willing to test the design. I felt he might have been a tad overpriced before and I feel the new change makes him weaker still, but not enough for me to refuse trying him out. I vote YEA.

known for his use of minimal armor and fighting bare-chested. Yeah - that's called being a gladiator. They were all given varying degrees of jack-diddly squat when it came to protection - the masses wanted to see them bleed. His fame reached as far as England and France No, no it really didn't. England and France, as concepts, didn't even exist yet. Amended to Britain and Gaul, however, this would be fine. when he defeated the mighty Prudes From what little I can find online, there was a gladiator called Tetraites, and he did defeat a man named Prudes, so you're on the mark there - in fact, you seem to have researched him for this. However, what I can find suggests that 'He would go bare chested into battles wielding his sword, a shield and a helmet.' - none of the bolded is represented on the mini, and I'd suggest choosing a different name, or at least, not representing real historical events in the bio when the figure isn't representative of the historical gladiator. The unit seems really, really cool though. ~ Lazy Orang, ceasing her historical nitpicking. Last edited by Lazy Orang; December 22nd, 2016 at 08:54 PM. |

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
The gladiator part of this guy makes sense. He looks like a gladiator. Him bludgeoning people makes sense with his big hammer. The second "or" part of the bludgeoning ability is not you bludgeoning your target, its cleaving through to hit a new target. It seems out of place with that name. The figure does not look evil. Just because he wears red shouldn't make him follow utgar. His wild personality of wild puts him leading barbarians from C3V. That could work a little bit if he was a saxxon or something like that. He's not dressed like a saxxon, nor does he look like one. The character does look fun to play. I don't feel that the card really flows to well with the figure and the back story thematically even if he is a fun character to play with. I realize I don't have a say in if this card is nominated, just throwing my perspective at it with my handful of pennies.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
This is going to be really nitpicky (because I like the new power), but I don't like that it can be used on large figures but the wound can't be placed on adjacent large figures. It makes sense for gameplay, but I think it's too counterintuitive. If it was only small/medium I'd give it a shot.
to this version. |

Grats to all.

Thanks to Ninja Status for his work playtesting and his willingness to blend his custom with mine. I'm glad the rest of the judges liked the result.
