The figure used for this unit is a Dungeons and Dragons figure from the Blood War set. The name of the figure is Maug (26).

The figure fits on a Large Single-Spaced base.

Character Bio: TBA

RAMMING 6
When a small or medium figure rolls defense die and is not destroyed by a normal or special attack from Augamo, immediately roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 6 or higher, you may Ram the figure. The player who controls the Rammed figure must place that figure, if possible, on an empty space within two spaces of it's current location, within clear sight of Augamo but not adjacent to him. The space must be on the same level as or lower then it's current location. A Rammed figure never takes any leaving engagement attacks. A non-flying figure moved lower by Ramming can receive any falling damage that may apply.

HEADLONG CHARGE SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 4.
Instead of moving and attacking normally with Augamo, you may move Augamo up to 4 spaces. Augamo may attack up to 2 times with Headlong Charge Special Attack at any point before, during or after this move as long as Augamo is on a space where he could end his movement.

STONY RESISTANCE 3
Augamo rolls 3 additional defense dice when defending against a special attack.

-Rulings and Clarifications-

Q: Ramming 6 says the controlling player "must" choose a space to place the figure. What do I do if there aren't any same-or-lower-level, empty spaces within 2 spaces of the figure's current position where the figure would not be adjacent to Augamo?
A: You only choose a space and place the figure "if possible". If there is at least one space that fits all criteria (within 2 spaces of the figure's current position, clear sight to Augamo, same or lower level, empty, figure would not be adjacent to Augamo) where the figure can physically fit in that space, then the controlling player must choose a space and move the figure. If those criteria cannot be met, then the figure stays where it is.

Q. What happens if Augamo Rams a figure that is not owned by any player?
A. The player who controls Augamo chooses an opponent who must place the Rammed figure.

Q. Should I put this guys on a double base or single base?
A. Single base, it needs to be a big base but should be on the edge for balance.

Unit Strategy Review

[Serenity]

I love the theme of this creature. Well done once again. Ramming and charge together should let him get past any pesky screen to hopefully deal some damage with his big normal attack. I'm thinking Augamo makes Raelin (and other cheerleaders) more vulnerable, how did things work out in playtesting?

Also, I should probably know the answer to this, but if my opponent places their rammed figure next to my Nakita Agent is it still subject to an Engagement Strike?

Yes, just like it is for other forced movement powers like Chain Grab and Knockback.

Single base, it needs to be a big base but should be on the edge for balance.

This clarification should probably be noted in the OP, as with any large or huge figure.

To bad he doesn't bond with the Death Knights. But still, probably my favorite hero! I love the massive heavy hitters that can wipe out squads. This guy fits the bill! Definitely playing with this fellow. Considering doing:

Phantom Knights x5
Augamo
Total: 505

Although it adds up to a very irritating point total, I've seen plenty of tournaments that do 510 or 520. The Phantom Knights have no bonding, but since when did they need it? Augamo should be more than enough to clean up after the PK's.

Edit: I meant to post Phantom Knights x5. Fixed. Thanks dok!

[IshMEL]

Can't wait to try him! He's the Golem Footballer!

A question -- if he doesn't actually move anywhere, can he use Headlong Charge SA twice? So if he starts engaged, he can "charge nowhere" twice?

[orgsbane]

It would seem so. It says "may", and while I'm no expert, that does seem to be the right idea.

[bobinchese]

So where do you guys think this guys would preform optimally? Cleanup comes to mind because there are few things endgame that could stand up to him, but he also seems like he can take a ton of punishment in the early rounds of the game. With that in mind I think he would be great paired with that summoning kyrie. Summon him to the front lines, and then have him charge through the rabble with headlong charge, aiming for key figures.

Any ideas?

[orgsbane]

That would definitely be fun. It would all depend on your opponents army. A if your going against a powerful ranged army, then you would probably want to keep him in reserve. But a melee army? Go have some fun Escpecially Romans. Their shield walls wouldn't stand a chance!

[bobinchese]

Is there a thread to discuss strategy of these figures on? I know the books are mostly for rules and the like, and I don't want to clutter this one with theoryscaping.
