Fire Elemental Pre-Release Discussion

Well guys, we've done this for the last two releases to keep books clear but provide a spot for unit discussion without stuff getting lost in the preview discussion threads. So let's do it again!

It's like football with swords or LARPing without the geeky stuff. In other words, it's awesomely perfect!

Looking forward to this figure, Great sculpt. Hopefully by adding more lava resistant figures, more lava based maps will be created.

This guy could be a posse for Brunak. Hes lava resistant so he can carry them around and anyone who gets near gets torched.

Not with lava terrain being near-impossible to get, they won't.

Anyway, I think this will be another figure who is so intimidating that it gets shot as soon as it's near the enemy army. Also, I think that overall, dmutef guards (they are both 1 life, 4 attack and defense) would be a better investment than someone who -might- damage all the figures around him. (2/5 chance, I believe.) More importantly, for then ten extra points you have from choosing the guard instead of the elemental, you can draft the ever-useful Isamu.

Spoiler Alert!

I guess it's called "Heat" of the Battle for a reason.

So does Searing Intensity work at the end of a player's movement phase for any figure, or does it only occur at the end of the movement phase for a fire elemental?

Let's say I have fire elementals in the start zone of my hoard army. I advance my first squad of stingers. Do I start burninating my own guys before I shoot? Or am I safe until I start putting order markers on the elementals?

No it is only when you take a turn with fire elemental.

Re: Fire Elemental Pre-Release Discussion

Hmmmm....would GIE's ice bridge allow the Fire Elemental to overcome it's negative element?! Just had that thought and decided to share to see what happens...

I don't see why not, but your GIE may get scorched and if it's the other guy's GIE and you kill it you're back in the water (assuming you survived the engagement strike in the first place.

But if it's the enemy GIE then it's OK if he dies like that. 35 points to 140?
