Don't you just love that invaluable means the same thing as valuable?

To their role in an army, I would echo caps. I wasn't around, but they seem like a thematic filler type horde squad.

They are a nice counter to Zombie builds. They prevent the zombies from coming back and will easily outnumber them. So, in a draft scenario I would definitely take them if my opponent drafted zombies.

How does Heirlooms special attack work in regard to their extra defense? Do they still get it?

Or does the power apply only to base range?

[dok]

They do not get extra defense against Heirloom, because his base range is 1.

Not to mention the fact that he's a Wizard...

[William099]

But as a Wizard with a range of 1, I was thinking that if he made a ranged attack against me from more then 4 spaces then I would add the plus one defense, since only wizards with a base range of 5 evade the power.

The power has absolutely nothing to do with distance. They still get the bonus even if they're adjacent to someone with 4+ range.

Do the Tomb Skeletons get +1 defense against Warden 816's Evisceraxe Special Attack?

Warden has a Range of 7, but Evisceraxe Special Attack has a Range of 1.

I'm guessing yes, because it references his Range number, not the range of his special attack.

[Arch-vile]

You are correct. Only the base Range number matters.

I believe the Pathfinder Skelatons from Heroes & Monsters and Undead Horde are the same sculpt.

It is crazy, I can't find these guys or the skull demons anywhere for remotely cheap. Does anyone know where I could find some because I really like them, especially these guys!
