Spoiler Alert!
Character Bio: The great golden dragon Xenithrax reveals herself to the peace summit through a twirl of vines and leaves. The regal bearing of her head indicates to the gathered representatives that she was accustomed to respect on her home world of Arboreas. Here on Valhalla, however, she speaks on behalf of her Valkyrie General, Aquilla. As she looms across the gathering, reptilian gaze sparking with cold intelligence, her statement is clear without words. Aquilla holds more power than she has ever revealed.

Re: The Book of Xenithrax the Soulweaver
First reply to a book! Very exciting.
And I'll say it: I think Xeni is a disappointment. Two well-placed ranged squads will erase your 200 points in one round or less. I'd take Nilf or Quahon every time--and save some points while I'm at it. |

Because of the glyphs, he's also much better with Greenscales than other dragons are. I probably would not draft Xenithrax solo in the way Nilf is often drafted solo, but with the glyphs he's a pretty formidable partner for Greenscales. 10 Years of Gencon/Scapecon Battle Reports - Comic Battle Reports - Probability Calculator App - Reverse the Whip Army Archetypes "It's all about the game." - Sgt.

Anyone have a good proxy for this guy?

Re: The Book of Xenithrax the Soulweaver
Nilfheim? I imagine the 3d scan of Nilfheim would be a good starting point for a would-be modeler to make a proxy.

And outside of the actual in-game usefulness of the abilities, these powers are pretty disappointing anyway. For the "unfathomably enormous avatar of the raw mystical energies that created our universe," growing plants and earthbending seems so...lame. At least have the glyphs be a spacetime distortion and call the special "Rend Souls" or something equally cool. Then I might be less disappointed with the actual mechanics. |

Re: The Book of Xenithrax the Soulweaver
I found a wood elf dragon that I put in the AoA proxy thread. No idea of the scale for the proxy model, but aesthetically it looks like a decent substitute in my opinion.

Based on the orientation of the model I'd guess it should fit alright on a large peanut style base. |

Also, in defense of the powers' flavor, it should be mentioned that Xenithrax's "vine traps" are subterranean attacks using her three tails. Moreover, if you trust the game's box art, Xenithrax directly channels those energies in combat. Perhaps Erupting Earth Special Attack isn't so much "reshaping the ground" as it is "invoking primordial energy in the form of burning geysers." |
