Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
Thematically, the idea is that technology has advanced and the Omnicrons have found a way to shield themselves from their own weapon. It's also meant to be a clue as to the weapon's Omnicron origins. Gameplay-wise, it makes it feasible to play Nordlung in an army alongside Repulsors, which are designed to engage their opponents.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
only ones that don't follow Jandar makes way more sense than the other way around, yeah.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
If you target a non-Jandar Soulborg figure with the Shockgun, does the targeted figure also have to roll for the d20, or only any adjacent Soulborgs? The way it reads to me right now is that the targeted figure wouldn’t have to roll.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
Targeted figure does not roll, Sherman clarified above

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
Oh, yes, I see it now. The conversation switched to the Soulborg general thing. But imo it’s odd that a targeted Gladiatron wouldn’t have to roll for the damage, but all the Glads next to him would. Doesn’t make a ton of sense to me.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
Yes that was my question. I get that they were just shot at, but other figures having to suffer undefendable damage and not the one that was shot feels a little weird to me.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
That aspect threw me off initially, but it makes sense that the targeted figure takes the brunt of the attack and the nearby figures take slash damage. I like the changes.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
It doesn’t make much sense from how a weapon like that would work. The shockwave would propagate from the slug. For the pulse effect to work as described, it would essentially be a torus, and there’s no way to explain how a point source generated that, other than hand-wavy future tech.
Also, in terms of fighting Q9 and Q10, this makes the special feel not worth it. Give me Nilf for an extra 25 points every day, since I’ve got the same odds of damaging either one, but I can hit two more targets, not to mention way better survivability and a better normal attack. Having a potential extra wound on the target that bypasses defense is massive and makes Nordlung worth the points. Last edited by ryguy266; August 25th, 2023 at 02:12 PM. |

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
Thanks quozl, but synergy with the Repulsors was not a priority of mine. I don't think Nordlung really works in an Omnicron army except in higher point games where you can afford both him and Omegacron too.

Sure, but that's because Nilfheim's "true" cost is a fair amount more than 185 points and I wasn't aiming to make Nordlung an A-ranked unit. |
