Thanks for the comments!

Perhaps something like, "if a Hive Assassin attacks a figure that has already been attacked this turn, it rolls one additional die."
That is pretty tempting but I think it could get out of hand quickly. (3->4)x2 is pretty good, but 3->4->5->6 is a little too devastating for my tastes, and dropping their base attack down makes them too weak against squads. Maybe I can put a one die cap on it (3->4->4->4), but I'd have to consider the wording. I was otherwise contemplating a flanking type power for them but it didn't feel right with only a two figure squad.

But I'd suggest renaming that power.
Yeah, I was riffing on the D&D ability of the same name that assassins get. It doesn't strictly speaking work that way but I was interested more in the game play (better defense against range, vulnerability to getting swarmed, stalking off on your own). Here it is taking the plain sight literally, with the theme that you are easier to pick out when you are standing next to other people. I'm open to another name, but Mantis Camouflage doesn't feel right.

Re: Ixe's Custom Units

IshMEL;s suggested wording already wouldn't stack, though the first 'if' probably should be a 'when'.

I assume Assassin Strikes is just supposed to give double attack right? The current wording is giving them infinite attacks instead, it needs a 'one additional' in there.

Re: Ixe's Custom Units

This is the Ogre from Pathfinder Miniatures - Rise of the Runelords



This is the Ogre Brute from Pathfinder Miniatures - Rise of the Runelords



This is Jaagrath Kreeg from Pathfinder Miniatures - Rise of the Runelords



NAME = Durgeth Brutes
GENERAL = Valkrill
PLANET = Valhalla
SPECIES = Durgeth
CLASS = Savages
PERSONALITY = Wild
SIZE = Large 6 (single based)
UNIQUE SQUAD

LIFE = 1 (3 figures)
MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 5
DEFENSE = 2
POINTS = 100

SWAMP FORTITUDE

Durgeth Brutes start the game with 3 Fortitude markers on this Army Card. When a Durgeth Brute figure you control would receive one or more wounds, for each wound you may remove a Fortitude marker from this Army Card to negate those wounds. If a Durgeth Brute is on a swamp or swamp water space, you may remove 1 Fortitude marker instead to negate all wounds.

Like Uzog who has been submitted by Kinseth to the SoV, the Durgeth Brutes are savages that hail from the Durgeth Swamps on Valhalla. The Brutes are a large and tough breed of savages who seek to use their strength to smash through their opponents. They are a hardy group who can shrug off a few hits before succumbing to their wounds. In their native swamps, they seem to draw strength from the land itself and ward off even the most devastating attacks.

The Durgeth Brutes can hit hard like the Kozuke Samurai but aren't nearly as fast and have lower defenses (not to mention the lack of counter attack). What they lack in speed and skill they make up for in tenacity. Effectively they have 3 extra life that they can use to absorb a few wounds before they start getting brought down. I could imagine some scenarios where it's even better to just lose a brute rather than giving up all three markers on a single attack. They thrive in swamp environments where a single marker can absorb any number of wounds. Their low defense makes them vulnerable to squads but they can be a menace to even powerful heroes in a swamp.

As always, comments are greatly appreciated!

Re: Ixe's Custom Units

Nice find on these figures, and I really like the twist on Exoskeletons. It's good for a Unique squad to have, and like you said there will be some interesting choices.

Re: Ixe's Custom Units

They look very interesting! I would bump their move to 6 to represent their giant 'strides' and that will help them engage fasters - and maybe defense to 3 since Unique Squads can really suffer to range.

Re: Ixe's Custom Units

I really dig these Durgeth Brutes Ixe! Solid stats backed up by a simple but useful power (with a terrain bonus, which I think is sweet!), plus awesome minis. I feel like this card seems natural enough that you could play it alongside Classic units and wouldn't notice a difference, so great job! They seem really sharky with their Fortitude markers protecting them until they get to wallop on opponent's figures. As a Unique Squad that power does have a price, though. My initial impression was that the points seem a little high, but the more I think about it the more it seems right. Definitely a unit I'd like to play!

Re: Ixe's Custom Units

Hey, @Ixe ! You have some really awesome cards here, and some I'm hoping to pick up soon. Would you mind if I got the MCC to design cards for a few of your figures? I'm specifically about to add Famine and Mithrodar to my collection.

Re: Ixe's Custom Units

It has been a long time since posting. I looked back through my old thread and realized that I had left a few cycles incomplete and didn’t round out my generals. I’d like to round that out before slinking back into obscurity.

That being said, here is the Kuroshi Rider from Infinity


This is Yojimbo from Infinity


And this is Penthesilea from Infinity


Each miniature is supplied unassembled and unpainted.

NAME = Bladewheel Gang
GENERAL = Vydar
PLANET = Earth
SPECIES = Human
CLASS = Criminals
PERSONALITY = Reckless
SIZE = Large 5 (Double Based)
COMMON SQUAD

Life = 1 (3 Figures)
Move = 8
Range = 1
Attack = 3
Defense = 3
Points = 120

BIKE JUMP SPECIAL ATTACK

Range 3. Attack 7.
A Bladewheel Gang that moved but did not attack normally may use Bike Jump Special attack. To Bike Jump, choose on a non-adjacent figure that was at least 4 clear sight spaces away from that Bladewheel Gang at the start of the turn and whose base is no higher or lower than 5 levels from the base of the attacking Bladewheel Gang. If the figure is destroyed, immediately place the attacking Bladewheel Gang on at least one space the figure occupied, if possible. If you cannot or the figure was not destroyed, destroy the attacking Bladewheel Gang.

The Bladewheel Gang is part of a future crime syndicate on Earth. They recklessly roar into battle on their motorcycles and slash at their enemies. They can even jump their powerful bikes to crash into their enemies, just as easily taking themselves out in the process.

This gang concludes my cavalry squad cycle with each unit being able to move fast, hit hard, and ultimately not being worth the points. Motorcycles felt like an appropriate mount for Vydar but the design itself is ultimately pretty derivative of the Pounce Special Attack from the Wolves of Bardu. These rides hit a bit harder and aren’t size restricted but they are even easier to lose since they are additionally destroyed if they can’t fit their double base into the space their target occupied.

As always, comments are greatly appreciated!

Re: Ixe's Custom Units

Great to see you post @Ixe . I cant help but to see the bikes are on circular bases. Do you have them rebased on peanuts or are you playing them on a gridless/hexless variant like the hexless scape variant I posted? I really like the flexibility of terrain options when using a non grid battlefield. I like the simplicity of the bikes design.

Re: Ixe's Custom Units

So glad to see a post from you, Ixe! Your comments were a real encouragement to me when I first started sharing my customs here.

I really like the idea of creating "cavalry" squads for all the generals who didn't have them yet, and the futuristic bicycle gang fits vydar perfectly.

They're fairly simple, and I do worry that they'd play too similarly to the wolves of Badru, and would probably not be worth their points. However, they do seem like they'd be very fun to play and I'm really glad you shared them!

I'm not sure if you intend to be around here too much more, but there's some really exciting stuff happening in the AotV threads, which is a community-driven master set that's being developed using components from the Arena of the Plainswalker sets. We'd love to get your input Regardless, I hope all is well with you and thank you for sharing your custom!
