If the Soulborg Warden attacked your custom with his Axe, for instance, would ricochet somehow take effect on his axe, since his range is greater than 1 but he's attacking with a range 1 special attack.

Good point. I'll have to clarify that. Wanted it to work against a regular or special attack with a range greater than 1. So the axe attack wouldn't trigger this ability.

If Siege successfully defends against the attack, he may force an adjacent figure to roll defense vs the same attack. This would be really useful if he was multi-engaged. I suppose it could also be used to target your own figures, but how often is that really a good idea? Oh wait...that would be a neat way to self-trigger the Deathreavers' scatter, since technically it's an opponent's attacking figure.

Cool idea! Man, midnight can't get here soon enough!

Yeah, that's the idea. At the very least a single engaged opponent's figure would be attacking themselves if they failed to wound him. Similar to counterstrike, but not unblockable hits and it would trigger if you rolled the same amount of shields as skulls instead of more shields. Can't count how many times Counterstrike shields have matched the amount of skulls for me.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! OK, guys, I'm aware that a lot of you have school in the morning, and that's gotta suck, but let's stick with it and overanalyze Siege's card into the wee hours of the morning!


Just kidding, kiddo's! Your sleep and education is far more important than our silly little board game!

I don't go to bed till around 11 to 11:30 central. But I can wait till morning sense it is a card I could careless on seeing. Though,I may want to look at it for my customs I am making.

Crag makes me think of the top of a mountain. Mountains are good cover, as is steel. So maybe his special power boosts the defense of figures that are adjacent to him. Though to make it something that we have not seen before it would have to boost your defense for either a normal attack or a special attack, but not both. With the number of flying special attacks added to the game with the wyrmlings my money is on it boosting defense in the face of special attacks.

I've got it!

Crack of Steel
Siege is always Guru's first choice when using the crack.

It's so obvious! Siege was who Guru forgot was a new sculpt, and he also is the one who Guru forgot to get the preview ready for.

Would love it if he had synergy with the other Warforged, but I think of a Juggernaut as being more of solo attacker than a cheerleader. Besides I doubt the designers would ever make another Raelin.

That's it. It's a defensive power. C'mon, mountain of steel - that sounds like a walking fortress, enhancing your other figs, all the while being tough enough to keep on cheerleadin'. This (assumption) makes me think that Siege will have an impressive stat-block, leaning toward offense (considering the defensive benefits that CRAG OF STEEL would seem to imply).

Ah...it's been a long day. Maybe I'm just grasping at straws...
