Re: Leaf_It's customs. [UPDATED: 9.14.18]
Hey Leaf It, let's take a look at your latest creations.
Lolth Spiders: This is an interesting take on the drow aligned spider design. Although they are a 40 point 2/1 melee squad, they make up for poor stats with an easily acquired +1 attack from Estivara and 7 move. This makes them play similarly to Nagrubs. While in a 'grubs build the bonded hero generally does the heavy lifting while the little guys poke and prod (and get eaten). These guys do the heavy lifting while Estivara and other Arachnomancers do small things. I suspect they won't be strong if a player takes them past 3x squads... unless other Arachnomancers are eventually created. As unlikely as that may be. Their limited competitive use does mean these units will have to also be good in the thematic landscape. They do look good there, but I'm not too sure about the webbing. Classing 'Scape Spiders remove OM's with theirs, which I understand if you don't want to go that route. How does DnD handle webbing? Vulcanmech Striker: I'm not sure how I feel about uncommon soulborg heroes. This is where the SoV should chime in their thoughts. Everything makes sense for the mini, from the kicking normal attack to the pulse guns. Redirecting stats is also a rather unique idea. Even if you find you can't use the concept this time, it could come in handy later on. My customs.

Thank you for the feedback.

As for how D&D handles it, I don't know, I didn't really base the webbing power on D&D, just on the theme of a spider web. Quote:
I also have made some changes to Hotaru the Valkrill ninja.
Spoiler Alert!
Cursed Weapons' upside, and blood thirst in general didn't activate very often, and they didn't always feel like they were really doing anything as a result, so they have been reworked. I think Blood thirst is more thematic now anyway. He still dies quickly when focused, but he'll be a little more interesting now. My Custom Designs.

Re: Leaf_It's customs. [UPDATED: 9.14.18]
I really like where Hotaru is at. I think a solid 40-45points seems reasonable. He'll be best when attacking heroes while bonding with Kantono Daishi and that might push his price up...but 4 life and 2 def can go pretty quick like you said. He seems a lot like Siiv to me...so that point range seems about right.
EDIT: I also love the spiders. I think they're great as is and just need to be playtested! Sir Heroscape's Content

Re: Leaf_It's customs. [UPDATED: 9.14.18]
Some quick thoughts:
I'm not sold on a Vulcanmech Striker kicking for 8 dice at all. It doesn't compare well for any other figures who can roll 8 attack (Jotun, Krug, I guess Anubians but their supernatural frenzy sells it). I may be the only one, but just throwing it out there. Spiders look cool, and I really like the webbing ability. I also liked the defensive ability you had on them before you edited the post; it was a cool, sleek way to up their survivability. I've never been a fan of arachnomancer bonding in general, though I'm likely in the minority. I don't think it's needed at all. Estivara has a great aura (6 spaces) and as a cheerleader she doesn't need to move around a bunch. And Pelloth likes to play with kill Drow, so him bonding with spiders isn't doing a ton.

Re: Leaf_It's customs. [UPDATED: 9.14.18]
I have further updated several designs.
Notable changes include: FAYLIA LYSARIS: Reworked Her bonding, and gave her Evasive 2. VULCANMECH STRIKER: Lowered life down to 4 from 6. Increased move from 6 to 7. Increased range from 4 to 5. SPIDERS OF LOLTH: Arachnomancer bonding now requires 2 spiders to be engaged, just like War Cry. My Custom Designs.

Re: Leaf_It's customs. [UPDATED: 9.14.18]
They haven't been focused on as much, but around the same time I found the figures for the Specters of Aldorn, I also found some Hellhound figures. I've been toying with them for just as long, though I was never satisfied with anything until recently.
NAME = HOUNDS OF PERDITION GENERAL = VALKRILL PLANET = TORIL? VALHALLA? FEYLUND? SPECIES = HELLHOUNDS UNIQUENESS = COMMON SQUAD CLASS = HUNTERS PERSONALITY = RELENTLESS SIZE/HEIGHT = SMALL 3 1 LIFE (2 figures) 7 MOVE 1 RANGE 4 ATTACK 4 DEFENSE 60 - 90 POINTS Veil of Moribund: Hounds of Perdition do not have any visible hitzones when targeted by a figure that does not have any wound markers on it's card. Unyielding Bite If a Hound of Perdition is enagaed to only 1 figure, and that figure is not Huge, that figure cannot move. Figures affected by Unyielding Bite cannot be moved by any special power, on any army card or glyph. BOUND 15 Instead of their normal move, Hounds of Perdition may use Bound. Bound has a move of 4. When counting spaces for Bound, ignore elevations. A Hound of Perdition may bound over water without stopping, pass over figures without becoming engaged, and over obstacles such as ruins. A Hound of Perdition may not bound more than 15 levels up or down in a single bound. If a Hound of Perdition is engaged when he starts to bound, he will receive any leaving engagement attacks. Theme/Explanation: I'm still not sure where I want them to be from. Toril seems like the obvious choice, but I didn't really design them to be D&D Hellhounds. They have similar aspects, but that was more by coincidence. Moribund means to be near death. In real world mythology hellhounds are invisible hunters that drag people down to hell, and can only be seen by those that are either near death, have made a contract with the devil for their soul, or are about to be attacked by a Hellhound. (which would probably mean you are near death) If you are engaged with a Hellhound, your life is in danger, so you can see it. If you are injured, then your life is in danger, so you can see them. Otherwise, they are invisible, and thus have no hitzone. Hellhounds are large dogs who's Unyielding Bite, like most large real life dogs, is nearly impossible to loosen. Once it has decided to bite you, you would need to either Kill it, or force it to direct it's attention elsewhere, to be able to be freed from it's jaws. The ability is relatively easy to get around as long you have multiple figures. Only one figure is forced to keep still, and as long as 2 or more figures are engaged, all engaged figures are free to move around. Originally I wanted to give them Pounce, but a Hellhound dying after jumping on something just because it didn't roll enough skull didn't feel right. Bound is the solution here. It gives the mobility of Pounce, but relies on the high normal attack to deal it's damage. Morgoloth is a fun inclusion to the army, because Swarming Vermnin finally has a Valkrill target. I have attached some images to show the size of these puppies (pun intended) next to the Wolves of Badru, and the Darkprowl Thrall. They are just a bit bigger than the Badru. My Custom Designs.

on SoV nomination for Maltis Tez! The SoV card looks like different figure than one in OP; is one just the promo version paintjob of Angelfire Longstrider Ranger (#22 vs #DDC24)?

There are two different paint jobs, so that could be part of it, same for the camera, and color adjustments. It is definitely the same figure though. My Custom Designs.
