The figure used for this unit is a Safari Ltd miniature from the Life Cycle of a Honeybee set.

Character Bio: As Utgar and Valkrill’s forces continue to devastate the bucolic Valhallan countryside, Aquilla has convinced Queen Mellifera of Braunglayde to negotiate an uneasy truce with the Amberhive’s traditional enemies, the Red Queen of Aunstrom and her legions of ant soldiers. With the bees and ants finally fighting together against a common enemy, the Alliance has gained valuable new members in the war for Valhalla.

FRENZIED SWARM 14
After a Common Insect you control attacks a figure within 4 spaces of Mellifera with a normal or special attack, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 14 or higher, that Common Insect may attack again with a normal or special attack.

EVASIVE 2
When Mellifera rolls defense dice against an attacking figure who is not adjacent, add 2 defense dice to Mellifera.

FLYING
When counting spaces for Mellifera's movement, ignore elevations. Mellifera may fly over water without stopping, pass over figures without becoming engaged, and fly over obstacles such as ruins. If Mellifera is engaged when she starts to fly, she will take any leaving engagement attacks.

Ok, that should be everything. This is my first time writing a Book so please let me know if I've done something wrong.

How should Mellifera be based? Do I need to glue her front legs down or does anyone have any tips?

[superfrog]

Yes, I glued her front feet at the widest part of a (small) double base.

Do you recommend the smaller peanut base over the wide one? I have both available and have been debating which will work better.

Thank you!

Thank you!

The legs stand pretty wide, so I use a bigger peanut, but you can use either.

I also used a wide peanut base.
