Gold1's Custom Figs

[Gold1]

Hopefully this works. I've been working on these for some time now, but I've been having technical difficulties. I'll just show my first figure. It's a repaint of the Swog Rider. If you've read my fanfic, you probably know who he is. Many thanks to Soundwarp SG-1. Without all his helpfull tips I wouldn't be able to do this.







Since I'm no good at making cards I'll just post his stats.

Orc
Unique hero
Hunter
Rebellious
Large 6

Life: 6
Movement: 8
Range:1
Attack: 3
Defense: 4
Points-90
Abilities:
Disengage-Skorr is never attacked when leaving an engagement.
Orc Fury-When Skorr recieves one or more wounds place a fury marker on the attacking unit's army card. If Skorr attacks a figure with a fury marker on its card roll one additional attack die for each marker up to a max. of three

He's supposed to be a stand alone type of hero. Thus no bonding and no enhancements. It's still in the works. Any and all comments would be appreciated. Sorry if the pictures aren't showing let me know if they are or not.

Pretty Good custom good paint job and a noce new special for an ork, you should make some more customs soon.

The repaint looks good.

I would say, however, that he's a little bit over-costed at 110 points. He's a bit fragile for a non-bonding melee hero. I would give him some more life or defense or allow him to bond with some of the Grut squads.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Customs! I really like this custom. Th fury gives him a great advantage against other powerful heroes, while not bringing his cost up too much. I think he could find a place in many armies because his points don't come from orc synergies. All in all, a great fig. Hope to see more customs soon!

[Soundwarp SG-1]

Nice job! I'm glad you were able to get the pictures up. Skorr is looking good.

I can make a card for him if you'd like.

[Gold1]

Thanks for the critiscism guys. I really appreciate it. Soundwarp I think I'll wait a bit if you don't mind. I think I should play test him a little more just to be sure everything is set. I'll probably report back with an update. Then I can show some of my other stuff!

[Gold1]

Okay guys the biggest problem with Skorr is that while he does deal some damage, he doesn't live that long. In order to boost him up to some degree where he can be useful. I've decided to increase his defense to five. I've looked at the other orc heros and I think this will fit. Tornak has four attack and five defence. Grimnak has two attack and four defence but he also has chomp. Ornak is three and three which is also the stats for the common swog rider. By giving him a defence of five he is more likely to roll at least one defence die then wiffing and losing half of his life. So to clarify his stats are thus:
Life 5
Movement 8
Range 1
Attack 3
Defence 5
What do you think? The other option I'm considering is a life of six and a defence of four. Any comments are welcome. Also I'll be updating with some new customs, probably by tommorrow.

Alright seems its time I showed you some more of my customs. I did these ones awhile back but now with the release of wave ten announced I just had to show you. Also look carefully You might get a sneak preview of some of my other customs. May I present to you my own versian of the Granite Guardians.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

Nice repaints With the browns you used on these guys, I bet you could make them into some kind of mud golems if the official figures end up looking different enough.

For Skorr, I'd go with 6 life and 4 defense. His Fury ability ties into his life, so more wounds means more chances for it to activate.

I would also consider getting the bonding option going with the gruts. Thats just so orcish that it pretty needs it. Having another orc bonding champion is a nice feature to have.

That seems to be a good, balanced fix for him.

He looks like he would be a solid clean-up figure. High move and disengage coupled with Orc Fury could make him deadly at the end of the game against a small handful of your enemies' leftover figures.

I like Skorr best with 6 Life and 4 Defense. Since his big selling point is Orc Fury you want him to have plenty of life so that he can afford to take some wounds to put Fury Markers on your opponents cards.
