Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion

[Leaf_It]

Very happy to see the resubmission. Hopefully the wait between submissions wasn't too irritating, considering it ended staying the same.

So I'll withdraw non-Training Feral Swog, and resubmit the previous version for consideration. Apologies for the update.

I don’t have a vote at this stage, but I’m assuming this version is still untested with Deathchasers? Before it’s accepted for sov review I’d prefer to either see some testing with the chasers, or just change the personality back to fearsome to remove that bonding option.

Again, I don’t have a vote at this stage, nor is the lack of chaser testing something that I would personally take into consideration during the ufr voting stage, since I’m not an SoV judge. However, it is something that I wanted to bring to the attention of the judges at this point.

When I discussed the resubmission with MegaSilver via PM, he said he would keep the personality at Fearsome. I was surprised to see it had reverted to Wild. I asked him about it via PM but haven't heard back yet.

Reminder to anyone interested in joining the team as an SoV Judge: you must get your submission in by the end of the year. See the rules below.

With him stepping down, the SoV is in need of another Judge. It has been a while since we did a SoV Judge submission contest. As we've done in the past, we will open up for anyone to apply for the vacant SoV Judge position. To do so, we ask applicants to write up a formal review for one of the units currently in the queue and send it to me (Scytale) via PM.

Here are the rules:

Anyone may enter. A submission should include both a write-up introducing yourself and explaining why you would make a good Judge and a formal review of one of the units currently under SoV review.

The format of the review may be done in any format but must include a final Yea or Nay vote. We will not be judging the submission based on the depth of the review; you are not expected to do testing as thoroughly as an SoV review requires, and your review may reference that incompleteness. What we will be looking for is a sense of your approach to testing, your understanding of the game, and how well you articulate your reasons for your vote.

Submissions will be accepted until the end of 2021. Please send your submissions in a PM to me or another SoV Judge.

Looks like I wasn't clear on things. It tested fine with Death chasers, but you'd probably choose MBS and/or Nerak before Swog unless you felt you needed a SA. I initially was going to deny the dual bonding, but decided to go ahead with it anyways.

[Scytale]

Ah, so it is intentional. And tested. I like this version.

to review the Feral Swog

[SchismaticSounds]

I would like to officially submit Kirvin The Wily.



I recently came across Superfrog's Xarek Roughscale learning that the Lizard King replacement idea has been played with before. Going over some of the discussion from Xarek, I decided to go with the limitation of Lizarfolk Hero's only. This gives a second wind to the Zogross army, an aspect which is really nice to have for using Zog more offensively and should prove interesting with the coming Lizardfolk heroes. (King Maekor/Queen Bambina.)

Stand alone, he is not super interesting. Beat down gets little use as it is, but his standardized stats make him neither weak or exceptional. A 50 point option for Ornak holds some interest with the back to back turn Beat down possibility.

The Current availability of the figure, Troglodyte Captain #40, on the sites listed on the first page of google is about 60. 71 Including 2 ebay sellers each with up to 10 in stock, and 52 without ebay. It is an older figure, so that is something to be aware of.

Some Pre-Sov reference

Spoiler Alert!

His place among the GSW army could be put to question along with how the figure fits next to the other GSW. I think the figure fits in the same way Tomoe Gozen's figure blends with the samurai and next to them has a similar combative stance but a black sheep presence. His model wears steel armor which is slightly contrasting, but I lean into it as part of a deeper backstory.

Spoiler Alert!

How many beat down markers does he have?

The maximum would be 3 for the potential 3 different targets, 1 per turn.

The card should state that he gets 3 beat down markers. Can the same target figure receive more than one beat down marker?

[SchismaticSounds]

A quick wording correction for Beat Down. Functions the same as intended.
This is the card I am submitting, presuming there are no other wording inconsistencies.

[Taeblewalker]

Much better.
