Re: Leaf_It's customs. [UPDATED: 5.10.18]
How badly do you want Hoplitron bonding?

Re: Leaf_It's customs. [UPDATED: 5.10.18]
I don't care either way, but I want the more powerful attack to be melee.
I suppose it the range was upped to 4, the attack was set to 2, and add double attack. Then reword Priority power systems to something like... PRIORITY POWER SYSTEMS: For each wound marker on this Vulcanmech Striker's card, add 1 to your defense roll. If you are adjacent to an opponents figure, you may roll 1 additional attack die, for each remaining life point. But then you get to double attack with 8 attack if you're adjacent... Edit: How about, instead of double attack; Double shot: If you are attacking a non-adjacent opponent, you may attack one additional time. My Custom Designs.

Re: Leaf_It's customs. [UPDATED: 5.10.18]
Cool mini -- I really like the jump theme. Should be noted though that, if/when this goes through SoV, there are some people who are against minis that use stands (I'm personally fine with it). If you get the mini and show that the stand can be cut off and it can be rebased easily (i.e. it balances on its feet okay with some glue) then you'll be fine.
Hoplitron bonding seems off to me here .... Not sure why. But the guns definitely warrant range being used. In fact, it doesn't look very melee at all. Double shot is cool and thematic. I like the mechanic of it having that attack for range and then the melee high attack, but I don't see it with this mini since there doesn't seem to be a reason for it to have higher melee attack. Aggressive seems like a weird personality.... Fearsome, Ferocious, Menacing, Terrifying, and Wild are all current personalities that would work, I think. Relentless would be perfect but then you'd have to worry about Death Knight bonding. Monthly Utah Tournaments in SLC!!

Re: Leaf_It's customs. [UPDATED: 5.10.18]
If I recall correctly, Hoppitrons bond with Soulborgs with a Range of 1? If you decide to incorporate the shoulder guns but want to keep the bonding, a fairly vanilla SA could help.
REPEATING CANNONS SPECIAL ATTACK Range 5. Attack 2. When this Vulcanmech Striker attacks with Repeating Cannons Special Attack, it may attack one additional time. And if the Leap power isn’t set in stone as a means to give him heightened mobility, the Vault power from the Varkaanan Quickblades makes normal melee figures feel both ungodly quick and hard to pin down. I really like the mini and the design- more Valkrill Soulborgs = a better canon, IMO. EDIT: aaaand you already had this idea on the previous page. That’s what I get for skimming on my phone. |

I didn't create the design with hops in mind, I just realize that it applied due to the range. I'm not against it, but I wouldn't be hurt if most people didn't want it. The idea I had for why it could deal so much damage up close was because of the legs. If this thing can jump like that, what would happen if it just kicked really hard? Of course as it sustains damage, it's kick won't be as strong, and that works great with the "Priority Power Systems" ability. The personality was honestly an after thought. I will likely change it at some point. Quote:

Re: Leaf_It's customs. [UPDATED: 9.14.18]
Here's another design that I've had for a while that I only recently found available figures for.
NAME = SPIDER OF LOLTH GENERAL = UTGAR PLANET = TORIL SPECIES = ARACHNIDS UNIQUENESS = COMMON SQUAD CLASS = HUNTERS PERSONALITY = WILD SIZE/HEIGHT = SMALL 2 1 LIFE (4 figures) 7 MOVE 1 RANGE 2 ATTACK 1 DEFENSE 40 POINTS Webbing: All small medium or large figures adjacent to a Spider of Lolth may not leave engagement with a Spider of Lolth. Figures effected by Webbing cannot leave engagement with a Spider of Lolth due to any special power on any army card, or glyph. Arachnomancer Bonding: After revealing an Order Marker on the Spiders of Lolth, before taking a turn with the Spiders of Lolth, you may take a turn with any Arachnomancer hero you control. Climb x3 When moving up or down levels of terrain, Spiders of Lolth may triple their height. Theme/explanation: Ever since seeing Estivara's design, I always felt that they were going to design a squad of spiders to bond with her. It just made a lot of sense to me, and it's supported if you look into the lore surrounding the goddess Lolth in D&D, which is the goddess that most of the Drow worship. I wanted to design them to be unique, from the Fyorlag, but still somewhat intimidating, while still feeling like relatively weak, and small, arachnids. They are vaguely reminiscent of the Gladiatrons, but nowhere near as annoying, as you can still move around the spider to are engaged with, and they die much easier. The figures are made of the same rubbery stuff the Xualtiaca Ants are made of, and are roughly the same size. These use Good luck minis Spiders from Safari Ltd. Amazon link

Re: Leaf_It's customs. [UPDATED: 9.14.18]
I like the basis for this design. I do worry about it potentially being a little too strong to have a 40-point 4-figure squad that prevents leaving engagements, but few people risk leaving engagement attacks anyways, so it'll probably fall more into the thematic category like A Coward's Reward rather than the powerful one.
Arachnomancer Bonding doesn't feel out of place considering their species, and we already have another squad of bonding spiders in the game. I think it's a valid way to give the Drow some more playtime, even if it is something that we've already seen before. The real concern that I have with these guys is their move when combined with their price and attack. Since they can almost always be in Estivara's aura (and tie up melee before they can reach her) and gain height easily with 8 move, they could regularly be throwing 4 attacks of 4 dice. It might be best to either dock their move a little bit or bring their attack down to 1, considering how easily it's boosted. Proud Member of Platyfly!

This doesn't really give the Drow much playtime, it just gives Estivara more playtime. The rest of the Drow aren't really affected by the spiders. Pelloth does bond with them, but he's useless to bond with. 1/1 stats feel very useless. The arrow gruts have that, but they have range, and a cheaper chearleader that's common, and therefore replaceable. My Custom Designs.

I wouldn't say that these guys make the Deepwyrm Drow tournament worthy or anything, but I do think that they'll encourage a little more casual playtime for the Drow. Suddenly you get more efficient turns with Arachnomancers, more figures to fill the board, and a thematic unit to add to those armies. Proud Member of Platyfly!

Now in regards to the Drow, Their heros don't actually help them at all. Pelloth just kills them, and if you're going for that strategy you want all the drow you can get, so you have more targets to blow up. Estivara has a neat special, but she only helps spiders, and does nothing for the other Drow. These spiders do almost nothing for the Drow, except for Estivara, and she does nothing for the rest of the Drow. You say that this won't make then tournament worthy, but I'm just confused as to why you think this will effect the rest of the Drow at all? My Custom Designs.
