Re: Green Wyrmling discussion and playtesting
Ah yes, pure chaos
To be honest, if there was a large green dnd dragon in our canon (most consider VC canon so I call it that) then I'd personally want the same thing. I understand your perspective. |

I suppose you wouldnt only have green wyrmlings, but then I can't imagine only drafting those squads and nothing else. I'd be willing to test this out. At 35-40 points that would be an expensive and holely screen. |

It's also worth noting 4th mass is not the dominant armey it once was.

Re: Green Wyrmling discussion and playtesting
So with AoA failing and the SoV set to continue, I think it's about time to dust off this thread. The Green Wyrmling is imo the biggest 'missing piece' in the VC canon and as it currently stands, I think the unit only needs a couple of tweaks before it can be resubmitted.
If we look back at the downvotes the GW received during it's latest submission (which can be found here, here and here; we can ignore Scytale's since he's never going to upvote this version for completely different reasons), the common theme that emerges is one of complexity. Having to roll extra dice to establish the number of wounds inflicted after a successful defence roll was determined to be too mechanically complicated; this clashed with Dysole's and Superfrog's view that Fledgling Counter Strike should be a simplified version (not just a weaker version) of Counter Strike, while Bigga thought it was just a dumb power in general. Of note is that all 3 judges were not inherently opposed to the idea of a mini-Charos Green Wyrmling; they just thought that the Fledgling Counter Strike power needed more refinement. As the main problem with the current submission has been identified as the mechanical function of Fledgling Counter Strike, I would like to propose a more streamlined alternative. (For the sake of transparency, this is not my original idea; I've heard a few people talk about it on discord and to me it seems like the best possible interpretation of the power). Quote:
As a side note, I believe at least 2 current SoV judges gave their in principle support for a Green Wyrmling with this version of Fledgling Counter Strike shortly after the last submission failed; I know for a fact that @Dysole was one of those and I recall there being at least one other judge who did so, although who exactly it was eludes me. Anyway, the point stands that even before submission, this version of the Green Wyrmling appears to have more support from the judges in general than the previous version did. So, to sum up, here's the full version of the unit I'm proposing. Quote:

Re: Green Wyrmling discussion and playtesting
I think if AoA has taught us anything, it is that dragons and by extension wyrmlings do not need to boxed into a preconceived notion about what they have to be.
Free your mind and the rest will follow. Don't be color blind, don't be so shallow. |

Re: Green Wyrmling discussion and playtesting
Yup, that's the version that I was going to nominate again in December (I said I'd wait 6 months). Biggest issue is that the previous miniature has dropped to about 30 searchable copies that I've found.
Chill on discord linked me to a super cheap Dragon pack from Hobby Lobby that appears to be the correct size. I think our biggest obstacle is (as was historically) finding a miniature that sticks. https://www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Ho...ack/p/80959357 We know this iteration isnt busted in the slightest. |
