Re: SoA's Custom Ideas. Criticism Warmly Welcomed.

Today I'm playtesting on the BoV map Swamp Thing. I selected this map because- A) The elevation changes will allow me to put the new move and Climb x2 to the test. B) It contains a Road to te Forgotten Forest set, allowing for a more frequent activation of Cover and Retaliate. This map would be ideal for the figure I'm trying to create, so I want to see him at his best. Hopefully, this will tell me if he becomes underpriced once the move and defense numbers are increased, and I add Climb x2. |

Added a new concept to the OP. Please give feedback upon especially special powers and point value.

All right, here I am with some criticism, as usual.

Any updates on DR or Lord Eschain? Need me to make any cards? I'm available. |

An update on DR's card (adding Climb x2, bumping move to 6 and defense to 4) isn't needed because I don't have a name for him yet. A card for Lord Eschain would be nice. Mini is in the OP as you may know. I need to playtest the Spider before a card is made, (I don't have them either, I'll be using Grubs as proxies).

Re: SoA's Custom Ideas. New, 12/1/11 Criticism Warmly Welcom
To anybody anal about conserving space in a thread, I apologize for the triple post. I'm an attention hog. I'm just updating events that are going on with the customs.
1) The Lord Eschain figure arrived today. My first impression was that he was a bit small; not short, just skinny. But, when he stands next to the Death Knights, it's not very noticeable. The sculpt is pretty good, and I hope to get him rebased soon enough. 2) The Dwarf Raider mini still has not arrived. I've been playtesting this one the most intensively. At this point, he has not proven himself underpriced with bumped up stats, nor overpriced. I'll do another week of playtesting before I ask awesomeunleashed to make the final card, climb x2, bumped move and defense, the whole shebang. 3) The Ragweb Spider is going to be difficult to playtest, due to the rarity of spiders. With the Poisonous Bite special power, the markers will most likely be Marvel wound markers. At this point, I'm seriously considering getting actual figures to proxy with, instead of using ones that I already have. Rocktroll would be a good place to start ... Some playtest armies I'm considering include- Raelin 1.0 Marcu Esenwein Fyorlag Spiders x5 Ragweb Spider x4 500 points, 21 hexes. This army has the benefit of large numbers of Spiders, a good deal of Ragweb Spiders, a defense boost (much-needed), and possibly the most important: a wound soak. A spider army needs this most of all simply because the bulk of it is single-life figures. Another army- Fyorlag Spiders x3 Ragweb Spider x2 Wyvern x2 Marro Warriors Eldgrim 500 points, 23 hexes. Less Fyorlags, and less Ragwebs. But, we get a kick*** ranged squad for Eldgrim to bump up once he dies, and I get to see what happens when you drop a hero with a Wyvern, Entangle it with Spiders, and then use Poisonous bite once it can't fight back. Should be fun. And the last one- Fyorlag Spiders x3 Raelin 1.0 Ragweb Spider x5 Marro Warriors 500 points, 22 hexes. This one just lets me get in testing with a larger amount of Spiders, and what will happen in a situation where Ragwebs die to the point that I have more PB markers than Ragweb Spiders. Out of all 3 armies, I expect this one to do the worst. |

I thought of a name for DR: How about Magruff Sharpshot? |

Re: SoA's Custom Ideas. New, 12/1/11 Criticism Warmly Welcom
Hmmm... not sure... it works, but I want to see if I can come up with other ideas. A source of inspiration that helps me a lot (and I find it turns out great names), is translating English words to other languages, usually either French, Dutch, Arabic, German, or Portugese. I take a syllable from the translated word and branch off it. That's how I came up with Lord Eschain's name. I'll try translating Gruff, Sharp, and Shot. I'll edit this post later with the results.

I was able to finish Eschain's card faster than I thought I would. I'm updating my first post in the thread with the card. |

Point taken. I was thinking along the same lines. I'll work on it. In the meantime, check the OP for pics of the Lord Eschain and the Dwarf!
