Re: The Book of The Deepwyrm Drow
They seem like a fairly balanced squad. Not too competitive in the current tourney metagame, what with their terrain-focused ability and being an anti-hero squad, but that's fine with me.

Re: The Book of The Deepwyrm Drow
So far these guys are not looking like they will see much tournament life, unless all maps were dungeon. 3/3 stats, and two d20 dependent specials.

Re: The Book of The Deepwyrm Drow
Wow. Thanks, Obsidian. I linked your charts in the Book (not they're far away from it, but now there's a link for anyone just browsing the Book).

Re: The Book of The Deepwyrm Drow
Yes, the figures were taken wholesale from the D&D miniatures line, and repainted for HeroScape. The characters themselves are made up for HeroScape, as far as we know there's no one by those names in any D&D literature. The rules are wholely HeroScape, since we have had "campaign" style scenarios since at least Swarm of the Marro, with the addition of treasure glyphs and shadow tiles, etc.

Re: The Book of The Deepwyrm Drow
They would most defiantly be great with my Cyprien D20 army.
Right now it's Cyprien Sonya 4x Anubian Wolves But with them, I may try Cyprien Sonya 4x Drows Marcu The first army is dependant on the D20 for attacking, and its 4-5 defense for survival... But the second army now has d20 for attacking, and for one d20 for defensive. I'm sure that the drows will wreak havoc on hero oriented armies. However, they would not be all that good in the tournament scene. However, I be I could get in the top 10 at a KC tourney with them. |

Re: The Book of The Deepwyrm Drow
These figures (like all in the D&D masterset) were originally released as D&D Minis:
Spiderbound Drow, #22 - Demonweb Drow Enforcer, #51 - Night Below Drow Spiderguard, #13 - Dungeons of Dread I'm a little disappointed that the common squad was not represented in multiples, since part of their usefulness is being sacrificed by Pelloth. Maybe someone can get more use out of their old D&D minis, although there may be variations in paint scheme or quality. notsop "... what did he mean 'slow of mind'?" |

Re: The Book of The Deepwyrm Drow
I like them but am holding out till the booster in march to make my final call army wise. If we can get some drow hand-crossbow men(its what drow use in D&D for range) and maybe another hero(NOT DRIZZT) they could make a very good army.

Re: The Book of The Deepwyrm Drow
Does anyone know how poison weapons interacts versus 1 shield defense? I'm guessing that you wouldn't be able to add the extra damage against a figure with 1 shield defense who roles a shield, but I'm not certain.

Re: The Book of The Deepwyrm Drow
Here's how I think it works out:
Drow rolls 3 skulls Migol rolls 1 shield Current damage is '2'. Drow gets poison weapons to work Current damage is '3'. 1 shield defense drops that down to '1'. Similarly, with Tul-Bak-Ra: Drow rolls 2 skulls, TBR rolls none. Drow's poison works, upping damage to 3. TBR takes 3 damage, and summons 3 marro. Quote:
