Brandis Skyhunter Pre-Release Discussion

[dnutt99]

So sorry to ask but I've been away for a bit and was just looking for a quick answer.

Does Brandis benefit from / offer benefits to any of the Elf wizard clan posse. I'm assuming not since they made the distinction that he is a Half-Elf and whatnot. But I'm still hesitant to assume that notion as truth.

He does not.

And about your sig.. It says 6 flagbearers? There are only 5, impressive collection though!

Edit: I just considered that you have more than one of one... my bad.

Thanx for the response. I figured that would be the verdict.
...and I have to update my sig with all these new figs and whatnots.

So if Brandis has the Holy Symbol of Pelor, then he has a good chance of going nuts on Esenweins. With the glyph, his Sky Watcher ability, and height Brandis would roll 8 attack dice. With that he should be able to take out Sonya in one shot and maybe Iskra with a little luck. Marcu would be little more difficult. Taking out Cyprien would be a challenge, but if the vampire lord is already wounded then it is certainly a possibility. I just love the idea of the ranger coming into range of the vampires, and then just rolling lights outs and taking out all four vampires in one turn with Archer's Glory. It is something that shouldn't happen, but it could and I like that.

In testing we have seen Brandis do some rather amazing things.

GBob, you are such a tease! No details? Where's the "This post is useless without details" emoticon when you need it?!

My feelings are hurt. You never read my post about Brandis arrow smacking my Charos into oblivion leaving my Greenscales depressed, lonely, and without leadership?

I read it

So how is it that Brandis would be so remarkably effective against Charos? I know he would be rolling a base of 5 attack against Charos and generally not have to worry about counterstrike, but that doesn't seem like it would kill Charos that quickly, especially with only one attack per turn.

Also, would it be possible for a moderator or the original poster to replace the current card image on the first post with the card scan from the preview? The card scan is a lot better than the picture that's there now. Thank you.

Let me explain. I went with Charos and Greenscales into my opponent's ranks. Charos was engaged by multiple squishy troops, and he was mean and hungry. Next round came up and we rolled initiative. My opponent had Brandis and won initiative. He didn't bother placing order markers on his troopies. He had the first two Order Markers on Brandis. He used his good move value to gain height on Charos and grabbed a glyph that gave him +1 attack. In 2 order markers Charos was toast.

Oh, makes sense then. 2 attacks of 7 is quite a bit different than 2 of 5.

So what was Charos engaged to? You failed to go into detail about that. Maybe he could have disengaged and gotten to Brandis?

Charos was engaged with multiple unreleased common squad figures. I underestimated Brandis as well.
