Frenzied One

Mini used: Degenerate Cultist of Orcus from Against the Giants

Spoiler Alert!

Some background: Ulrick is Valguard's father and presumed leader of the Dreaguls. When Valguard was teleported to Valhalla Ulrick swore to kill the Tarn viking brothers. In Norse/Scandanavian mythology, oaths sworn to Odin are considered binding. Odin means frenzy and there is another deity who's name means the frenzied one. It sounds good and makes sense since he has gone a little mad (in my mind) pursuing his son's "killers", and is carrying on only from the desire to fulfill his oath. This madness also explains the fact that he is wearing less clothes than the other Dreadguls. 7 life is justified by his son's 7 lives.

On cost: The Macdirks are weak, a C+ in the Power Rankings, and can use all the help they can get. Even with Ulrick, They die so quickly basically requiring Raelin. With his single attack, Ulrick can pretty much be ignored while the attacker goes after the Macdirks. Even when his defense gets high, he's basically a Deathwalker due to the fact that he is down lives, so fighting him isn't that bad of an option anyway. There isn't any point to using him without MacDirks either, since Dreadguls are better off without a melee hero and have Valguard for 10 points more if they want one. Knights like Gilbert and most of the other champions better too.

Take the Blasts and replace Gladiatron Movement Bonding with Priority Targeting. Then give them 3 defense. 75 points.


He's a Gaulic Chieftain I've been working on. Here's his stat block:

Diabotrix
Human
Unique Hero
Champion
Wild
Medium 4

Life 7
Move 5
Range 1
Attack 4
Defense 2
Points 140-180

GIANT'S BLOOD
When Diabotrix defends against an attack, he rolls one additional die for each wound marker on this card.

FURIOUS SURGE
When a Wild Squad figure within 2 clear sight spaces of Diabotrix attacks with a normal attack, it may attack one additional time.

I'm not sure on cost but his ability is pretty good and he can take down a lot of melee heroes 1 on 1. I'm thinking 160 right now.

He is designed to work with Macdirks as of right now.
Diabotrix Hero Tests:
Krug: 0-6
Alistair Macdirk: 4-2
SotM Drake: 3-0

Here is my version of the Green Wyrmling:

Spoiler Alert!

Roving Bandit

Spoiler Alert!

My new Jotun, Shurrak, and maybe Mok boosting common hero. Hopefully he provides a boost to Shurrak and Jotun without overpowering Mok. Hopefully?

The Guardian Spirit.

Spoiler Alert!

An easier wording for Protect the Master would be helpful. Saying "the Guardian Spirit's chosen Master" so many times sounds bad but I tried to stick to the wording on the Greenscales' card. I will be doing some playtesting of this soon. I chose Elf and Human because I did not want it to be able to help Q9 or Raelin.

Availability: The figure is a D&D mini, the Celestial Dire Badger from the Deathknell set.
There are 112 on abprices for $1 or less, and 72 more for less than $2.

Playtesting Form: Mostly for me to use.

Old customs that you don't want to see:

Spoiler Alert!

Blood Raptor

Spoiler Alert!

I need someone to make a card for this as I have some trouble doing that. I want to use the Fastclaw model.

3 life
It will have 7m/1r/4a/3d
65 points.
Uncommon Hero
Hunter
Relentless



Abilities:
Select Prey
Begin the game with one Prey Token on this card. Before Order Markers are placed, you must put it on any Army Card your opponent controls. All Blood Raptors you control must select the same Army Card

On the Hunt
After taking a turn with this Blood Raptor, and if the minimum distance between it and the closest figure with a Prey Marker is less than it was at the start of the Blood Raptor's turn, you may immediately move 1 Hunter hero or squad you control 7 spaces.

My Venoc Hunter:

Spoiler Alert!

I would like to introduce everybody to my attempt to create a new Viper unit that synergizes with the old. The Venoc Hunter, a hero that is designed to make the hard hitting Venoc Vipers hit a bit harder. The ultimate goal of the project is to get the unit inducted into SoV.


Questions for debate:
What mini should be used? The current one is this.
Should it be an Uncommon Hero? If not should it be given more lives?
What would the point total of any of these variations be?

Possible problems: The Venoc Hunter is designed to hit hard with the Venoc Vipers. As a scout he would get the bonus from Mittens. However, But since VIpers are normally used at the start of the game, I'm not sure if 9 move is enough to get into an opponents start zone and if he's sitting by himself, the Vipers won't catch up without leaving him hanging for a turn in the middle. I don't want to do standard bonding because I like the idea of the Vipers being hunters and following the killing. Possible ways to alleviate this would be giving him movement bonding if unengaged at the end of his move. This ends up being almost like normal bonding though.

Another possibility would be Taste for Blood giving a big Frenzy Enhancement for Vipers that would be unable to attack during their initial turn.

A final option would be the hunter giving a big Frenzy enhancement independent of Taste for Blood only if he is engaged.

[MegaSilver]

It's a good start, but IMO he doesn't work with the Vipers well.

Once you put OMs on Venoc Vipers, you have to keep them on them or else they die. With this guy you are hoping your opponent is close enough to use the Venoc Hunter, and where you have Vipers that can strike and won't die on you later on. Very hard to pull off.

If you want, you can visit my thread and see my take on the Armoc Warlord.

[greygnarl]

Maybe every time the Venoc Hutner gets a kill, you can place one Frenzy Counter on a Venoc Vipers card you control. Any time the Vipers would have to roll for Frenzy, you can remove one of those instead and auto-Frenzy. Get rid of the bonding and he's like the precursor for the Vipers.

Or make him choose prey. All Vipers get +1 attack when targeting that unit.

Perhaps. Though IMO the Vipers need a passive helper (like how the Venoc Warlord is) to help them out; something that doesn't require OMs on them (well maybe other than the X OM).

[GeneralRolando]

I would agree greygnarl. I would make him weaker, uncommon, and with a choose prey ability. I think it would be cool to see this unit used in greater number. Maybe make them warlords so vipers can bond with them or have a weaker ability than bonding. If you can keep his price around 50 points I would totally use this unit.

The auto-frenzy idea in neat too. I think you could easily make another unit with that ability but it would definitely have to be a unique unit at that point.

Anyhoo that's my

[Shedim Kabal]

It's hard to find a pre-painted mini for the vipers, since the D&D Yuan-Ti are either really expensive, rare, or small.

In the Anorexic Viper Zone:
Poisonous Salamander 1
Poisonous Salamander 2

In the Rare and Expensive Corner:
Yuan-Ti Abomination
Yuan-Ti Champion of Zehir
Yuan-Ti Fangblade

In the Not-Quite-What-I-Was-Looking-For Category:
Fiendish Snake
Flame Snake
Flamebrother Salamander
Noble Salamander
Salamander
Salamander Firetail
Pathfinder Venomous Snake
Lamia Matriarch

A choose prey ability would be neat. I agree with Mega, the Vipers have such low defense they have to be OM-hogs. Cool custom so far greygnarl.

[superfrog]

For the blood raptor, which figure are you using? Fastclaw from Reaper Miniatures' Legendary Encounters? If so, Fi Skirata already has a card for that figure which is up for SoV review right now, so I don't know if you want to find another figure or what.

[Shedim Kabal]

@Blood Raptor: Simplify, simplify, simplify. Markers are almost always used to signify a change on the card they are placed on: Wound Markers represent a change in Life; Negation Markers represent a loss of special powers; Lycanthropy Markers represent a change in class, personality and species; even Grenade Markers represent a change on the card they affect. Exoskeleton and Redundancy Markers follow suit, though they are more complex. Anyway, don't use them for a power unless you absolutely must, and then make sure it's thematically worthwhile.

@On the Hunt, stay away from Hunter Squads. Nothing that movement bonds (7 Spaces!) with Death Chasers and Gladitrons is passing the SoV - even forgetting about it's Death Knight bonding.

[greygnarl]

I didn't realize glads and death chasers were hunters. I was trying to help out dzu-teh and dund.

Regarding the mini, the threforian raptor doesn't look like it will pass SoV.

This obviously needs some reworking though.

[greygnarl]

Bump for the Guardian Spirit Familiar.

[greygnarl]

Just added the Roving Bandit! Check him out.
