Deepwyrm Drow Pre-Release Discussion Thread

I don't think exploding them is cost effective against 70 point 4 men squads like the 4th or knights.

When they explode, they kill on average, 1.5 figures. Each knight is worth 70/4 or 17.5 points. So exploding them with 3 knights in range will cost your opponent 26.25 points, but cost you 70/3 or 23.33 points. So you're getting a net gain of less then 3 points on your order marker. Pretty terrible.

I think they'll work better against high cost/high defense figures.

Also apparently they've stopped using 'space' instead of 'spaces' when the card has a range of one, odd.

Abilities are ok though.

?!?

Of all the newly release cards, I thought this one looked the best. Apparently, the DnD glass is still half-empty for some people.

I dunno, I personally don't care too much for the all black skin and armor. Pelloth is definitely getting a new paint job from me, and I might do the squads, depending on how many I happen to get...

The guy in the back is the only one who bugs me. He has that face that is like ebony plaster. It looks to blocky.

I don't mind the sculpts but it seems like a lot of black. I'll have to see them in person but these might be on the weaker side of the figs. Nothing a bit of highlighting w/ something like a Regal Blue or Shadow Grey won't fix.

The capacity to inflict extra auto-wounds seems to attenuate them better towards assassinating cheerleaders rather than going toe to toe with other melee squads. And don't discount that HiD sans shadow tile - they're still getting a %25 "Hail Mary" at ten points less per unit than the Omnicrons. Plus, a few squads of these guys can be "topped off" nicely with Otonashi.

[ElvenEnvy]

I think they'll be excellent hero killers, Pelloth will make them good against high point or high defence squads with exploding them, but they probably will flounder against cheap commons.

[That Guy0715]

I'm not too hyped about these guys, they just don't seem.......cool. Or useful.

4x Drow
Braxas
Otonashi

I'm happy.

[A_Train]

I like the look of these guys. 3/3 stats are good, and the poison can really help.
I can definitely see myself taking these guys without Peloth, but I doubt I will ever take Peloth without a few squads of Drow.

[Tai-Pan]

I'm still not a fan of the sculpts. The fact that the armor and their faces are exactly the same color is not cool.

[A_Train]

The colours don't bother me at all, bu they look like the most noticeable size difference between DnD and Classic scape. Hopefully once they are on the board, I won't notice it so much.
