Giant Dragon-sized Phoenix figure
I found this figure at Michael's Arts & Craft store this evening when we were picking up things for my daughter's birthday party. It was $9.99 and it was located between the toy/puzzle section and Spanish Mission/Projects section. I thought I would post this for other custom unit creators. I haven't done anything to the figure yet, what you see is how it comes (minus standing on the large Heroscape base).
I have created a rough draft army card that will need a bit of play testing to get the actual point cost correct. I haven't glued it to a base yet, but you can see the figure standing really well, and it will easily fit on a (Mimring/Grimnak) base. Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

Re: Giant Dragon-sized Phoenix figure
The figure itself looks great. The card might need some work. Considering Aquilla means "bird", I would let that general have it.

Love it!
Thanks for the comparison shot too. This will make a fantastic custom. |

Re: Giant Dragon-sized Phoenix figure
I had seen that and had considered picking one up.
The one thing I was concerned with was its wing-spread. Have you used it on different maps to see how well it fits? Even Nilfheim gets difficult to place on some crowded maps. Please let us know how well it fits on tighter maps; I for one might pick one up if it fits well. |

Later tonight, I'll try to take some more picture in different positions. Due to this (space limitation like Nilfheim), perhaps it should have a Special Range attack, or normal range of 4 (and lower the card's attack value). I wanted it to have a 4 range, 4 attack Fire Storm attack--like DW9000's Explosion, but it was too much text in the special ability section of the card. And Wookie, I like the Aquilla idea. I choose Einar because of the connection to Roman and Greek mythology, but I'll think about the shift to Aquilla... Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

Re: Giant Dragon-sized Phoenix figure
You'll need to expand on Fire Resistant, specifying each ability that doesn't affect him. Just saying fire attacks is referencing a nonexisting attribute, and will get confusing and muddled.
Also I like him with Einar. It looks imperial and has the mythology connections. I don't think this thing would do very well in the swampy jungles of Ticalla. I picture him in a high tower of Einar's golden castle. |

Picked this guy up at lunch today. The figure looks fantastic next to the other huge dragons.

Re: Giant Dragon-sized Phoenix figure
I recognize the Demon Gate, I didn't see the Demon Orb though. Good eye.

Re: Giant Dragon-sized Phoenix figure
Yes it is. I have a lot of leifkicker custom terrain. Maybe that is what I will feature when I show how well the Phoenix can fit in tight-little areas.
