SCIMITAR SWEEP SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 4.
Choose a figure adjacent to Breach. You may also choose another figure adjacent to Breach to be affected by Scimitar Sweep Special Attack. All figures adjacent to Breach between the chosen figures in a counterclockwise direction are also affected by Scimitar Sweep Special Attack. Roll attack dice once for all affected figures. Each figure rolls defense dice separately.

IRON TOUGH
When rolling defense dice against a special attack, Breach always adds 2 automatic shields to whatever is rolled.

LONG STRIDES
Breach can move through all small and medium figures.

Rulings and Clarifications

Q: Can Breach attack a single figure with Scimitar Sweep Special Attack?
A: Yes. In that case, there would be no second figure chosen, and no other figures would be affected.

Q: When hitting multiple figures with Scimitar Sweep Special Attack, in what order do the defenders roll dice?
A: Similar to Mimring's Fire Line Special Attack, there is a predetermined order that the defenders roll defense dice. The first to roll defense is the first figure chosen for the attack. Then roll defense dice for each figure in turn in a counterclockwise direction around Breach, ending with the second figure chosen.

Q: If Breach chooses two figures on the same ladder for Scimitar Sweep Special Attack, does the attack also affect all other adjacent figures?
A: No. The two figures are in the same "space," and thus there is nothing between them in an arc.

Point Total 505

Glyphs: 4 Random Treasure Glyphs (put in center water spaces instead of special rules).

Trap: You may either reveal one unrevealed order marker from this figure’s army card and remove it or you may give the figure one wound.

Army 1: Avernus, Breach, Boreos, Talingul (505)
Army 2: Marro Gnids x5, Marutuk, Darrak Ambershard (505)

Which units survived? 1 life Marutuk and a full life Darrak


General Battle Report/Flow of game
The constructs faced off against the gnids, with breach taking out a few before they began to cling onto him and bring him down. Avernus and Boreos were able to take out the rest of the gnids, with only one getting on Avernus. Marutuk eventually killed Avernus quickly and then one shotted Boreos. Talingul ran and shot at Marutuk a bit getting her to one life before she caught up to him and killed him for the win.

How useful were playtesting units' powers and how often did they come into play?
Breach killed 8 gnids in total, 5 with his sweeping scimitar special attack, which was pretty useful, it mainly was used to hit about 2 gnids at a time.

Iron tough didn't come into play. Longstrides was used a couple of times to reposition him among the gnids.

I sorta wish he had Lava Resistant like the other Iron Golems, though I know how people can be hesitant to put 4 powers on a card, I think his powers are simple enough that Lava Resistant can be added, without too much going on in one card.

kevindola: Acolytes x 5, Morgoloth
Heroscaper: Breach, Talingul, Boreos, Guilty
Which units survived?
Morgoloth 0 wounds, 13 acolytes

General Battle Report
So this went horrible. I moved out as a sort of pod with Boreos and Talingul, with Breach walking up. Morgoloth was summoned, and killed a Boreos who rolled crappily. Breach tried to make things right by a normal attack followed by Scmitar Sweep on Mogoloth and two acolytes, and only killed 1 Acolyte. Breach then went down. The game was called with Guilty having done nothing, and a Talingul with 2 wounds.

How useful were playtesting units' powers and how often did they come into play?

Scmitar Sweep was used once and killed one acolyte, other powers were not used.

I liked Breach, but yeah this game went real bad. I'll be sure to do some more testing with him as he seemed a fun little whirling blade.

500 points

Army: Talingul, Boreos, Breach, Greater Ice Elementl
Army: MacDirk Warriors x3, Alastair MacDirk, Major Q10

Which units survived?
Talingul (4 life)
Breach (2 life)

General Battle Report
Q10 fired away at the constructs putting a hit on Breach and a hit on Boreos as they came in.

But the army was caught in the 2nd round and Breach and the Greater Ice Elemental killed Alastair with 2 attacks of 6. Q10 hit the non Golem elementals hard killing Boreos and 3 wounds on the Elemental before dying.

MacDirks swarmed killing the Elemental and another hit on Breach (and a few on Talingul), but the sweeping scimitar laid waste to the MacDirks easily for the Construct win.



How useful were playtesting units' powers and how often did they come into play?

Sweeping Schimitar was used 4 times
0/4 that targetted 3 macdircks
2/4 that killed 3 macdirks
3/4 that killed 3 macdircks and 1 wound Q10
1/4 that killed 2 macdirks

normal attack did 3 wounds to Alastair and 3 wounds to Q10


damage done: 3w Al, Q10, 8 Macdirks (365)

Army: Breach, Axegrinders x3
Army: Q9, Roman Legion x3, Marcu

Which units survived?
Q9 (full)
4 Romans
Marcu (full)

General Battle Report
Breach charged and took a wound from Q9 as he did. He was surrounded by Romans before reaching the major, and it would have taken too many LEA to give to him.

Breach did 2 sweeping swords that yielded no wounds before the constant attacks of 3 killed him having done no damage.

Romans faced off against axegrinders with a few potshots from Q9 and the Romans got a comfortable victory.



How useful were playtesting units' powers and how often did they come into play?

Sweeping Schimitar was used 2 times
2/4 that targetted 2 Romans (no kills)
1/4 that targetted 3 Romans (no kills)

{feel free to move this discussion to another thread, as the points are not playtesting related}

• Are the two chosen figures also affected/attacked by Scimitar Sweep? it is not clear in the power. If so I guess the only difference between this and "all adjacent figures" is if you had a friendly figure also adjacent you can go around him, but if you had two friendly figures split both ways by opponents you could go around one of them. Interesting concept. Appreciating the playtests by @kevindola & @Heroscaper Guy , & Toogwick_tuk.
• Is there anyway to change the sculpt (or have alternate sculpt). The current model is not listed many places except MiniatureMarket where it is $18. I suggest as a replacement/alternative that is more available on many sites and only for $3-8, D&D Minis Monster Menagerie 2 #28 Iron Golem
