True. It also saves a lot of space on the card for other powers.

Re: War Horse of Troy -- MegaSilver's Customs

I would allow for the war horse to be attacked when leaving engagements but not the rider. IMHO it's easier to hit the horse than the rider in that case.

I would not worry so much about the line of sight but perhaps limit the range of the rider to 1.

But I like the idea behind this.

Just when you thought it was all right, someone made it alright.

Good trades with - Porkins / xraine69 / mac122 (x2) / frylock / Ztimster (x2) and probably others I forgotten to mention...sorry.

It's definitely a good custom though.
So you are saying that since this mini is the right type to get nominated? But this was the only set of minis that are in scale and widely availbable. Other minis are far off in scale or rare to find (DnD WarHorse, for example.)
I'm just saying that, unless you find somewhere where the mini is sold by itself, rather than packs of 12, I'm guessing that the SoV won't approve it.

Ok now I am even confused..its an UNCommon Hero and the pack of 12 it comes in is not a Random Assortment but the same 12 horses in each package...so why would that be a problem exactly?

Also these TOOBS are sold in Michael's, AC Moore and even other Big Box stores like Walmart, TRU, Barnes & Noble etc...so they are probably even more easily available than say the AT43 figures that have already been used and approved.

I'm not saying the availability is too low, I'm saying that nobody wants to have to buy 12 of them.

But ignore me, ask the SoV judges. It's entirely possible that I am totally wrong.

Re: War Horse of Troy -- MegaSilver's Customs

I would agree if you had to buy 12 to get 1 sculpt..but since they are Uncommon having different sculpts would actual help in identifying them from one another

I would also second BIV's height advantage question for the mounted figure.

Re: War Horse of Troy -- MegaSilver's Customs

I have several small horses similar to this that my daughter gave me for scape. Wad going to give them carry like Threacus and then an ability like this.

Running Leap
Once during "insert name" it may ignore an elevation of 3 or less or leap over ware that is 3 or less spaces across. "Insert name" must us its full move to use this ability.

Here is my answer:

I had considered seperating the powers intially, but wasn't sure if I should. Maybe I should now.

"The placed figure is considered adjacent to and one level above this horse's base." So the rider and horse are both affected by area affect attacks and the rider has height advantage over figures whose bases are on the same level as the horse, right? But for LOS purposes, you just use the horse (regardless of whether you're targeting the horse or the rider), right?

I don't think "Equus" is a word. Just call it a horse.

Other than that I don't see anything seriously wrong with this.
You are correct on both points, BIV.

Equus is Latin for horse, and used due to brother's persistance. I will change it anyway.

I had worked on one once with a SCATTER like ability which made you move the horses X number of spaces if they were within X number of spaces of a figure that was attacked by a ranged attack.

Re: War Horse of Troy -- MegaSilver's Customs

I really like this card, but I feel like having it in one power is way too much. I would break it down into two powers. One that allows the rider to get on and off the horse and one that says what happens when you are on the card.

I'll come back later when I have more time to help you.
