Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
'Cause it's a shadow created by a D&D spellcaster. His shadows are not amorphous blobs, but manifestations that model existing creatures. Similar to a displacer beast? Why not? Seems like a useful creation.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
A fair point. Thanks for responding, Scy. It is not time for me to decide anything for myself, so I will bow out.
Thanks to Sir H. and to all those brave enough to bring their nominees to this august body. |

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
Yeah, they are just magical creations made of shadow, doesn't matter what it looks like except perhaps any abilities such a form allows. It's magic, not a creature.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
Maybe it’s just a zoomer thing, but Super Battle Droids are much more recognizable, imo. If SBDs as ZI aren’t problematic, I wouldn’t think a D&D creature (which I admittedly have never heard of) would be.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
For the record, I would be very opposed to a displacer beast that was not a displacer beast. As others have said, it's a very recognizable D&D creature, and D&D worlds are part of Heroscape canon.

FWIW I would vote down to Super Battle Droids as well, and they've been sticking out like a sore thumb to me since I first saw the card. Monthly Utah Tournaments in SLC!!

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
While similar...they aren't the same (see pics below). One is the actual Displacer Beast, the other is a miniature/monster that they've designed to be very similar but not the same.
What's more, the power I've chosen for the Shadow Stalker IS representative of the main ability the Displacer Beast has. That WAS intentional. Below I've quoted from a prominent source in the D&D community (The Monsters Know What They're Doing), though I'm sure you all could find better sources: Quote:

While the Super Battle Clankers are in the prequel films, they’re much more visible in The Clone Wars TV Show and the Star Wars Legos (which were my childhood). Regular Clankers are definitely more widely known, but I feel like SBDs are well-known among Zoomers (and perhaps Millennials). Casters of Valhalla: THE Competitive HeroScape Podcast!

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
The first time I saw the Zetian Infantry I immediately recognized them as Super Battle Droids. I grew up watching the movies, and playing the games. Anyone who played the recent Battlefront games will recognize them too. The Phase Cat is actually different (if only slightly) from a Displacer beast, so at least for me, I don't think it's worth a downvote.
