Boot Camp of Valhalla Head Quarter.

I would so like trap makers in Heroscape. But it would be a tricky design to make, I think. It would be so cool if they were able to drop pit trap glyphs (true trap) and brandar glyph (decoy), and had a bonus to attack trapped figures !
Maybe they begin the game with 1 pit trap glyph and 2 brandar glyph...

The problem is, who would ever bother trying to step on a glyph? The Brandar glyphs are worthless. Unless you use them to block a tight space, hoping to redirect traffic.

Very true. I would advocate them because they support hero figures, my favorite figures in classic 'scape. I think some sort of movement bonding or self-sacrifice power' would be cool.

Just when you think you figured me out, I support the only squad amongst heroes.
Us tornadoes are known for their unpredictability.
Honestly it was the theme behind them I like most and the figures look cool.

Maybe the Pit Trap glyph always works, but the Brandar ones work 50% of the time. Or maybe it's really a surprise, and a kobold can reveal the presence of a trap as you move into engagement with one, like engagement strike.

That's clever.

They don't necessarily have to be kobolds...

Those particular kobolds look more like tiny werewolves to me.

I have been working on a Rogue Trooper design for C3G and trying to come up with some mechanics for his mini-mines. Perhaps something like this would work for the Kobolds.

MINI-MINES
Start the game with three Fake and two Real Mine Markers. Once per game, after moving and instead of attacking you may place one Mine Marker in any or all empty spaces you moved through this turn. When any figure moves to or through a hex containing a Fake Mine Marker, remove it. When any figure moves to or through a hex containing a Real Mine Marker, that figure receives one wound, remove the Real Mine Marker.
(Would flying figures be affected as worded? That may require additional text.)

You may want to make the Kobolds immune to their own traps.

[Evar-Scarcarver]

My thoughts on the Kobolds: I am not against them synergizing with Dragons, but I agree with the aforementioned: They must play an entirely different role than the Greenscales. I like the ideas about traps that are being voiced, even if they are a little raw. Keep the ideas coming, guys!

For me these kobolts looks more like giant rats or something like this.

Or little "wolf pups"

I think those are used in a kobow.
