Re: [Pod 0] Pillar of Hár (Crypolith) - Playtesting
Great feedback. Actually glad to hear the Krav were nervous about using them. That's certainly one unit that can benefit greatly (+1A and +1D for Stealth Dodge), but I think we're doing our job right if attacking the pillar is an attractive alternative and a deterrent. We don't want no units to use them, of course, but, like castle pillars before them, they offer a big strategic advantage and we have the opportunity to create a version of that that is less automatic territory to occupy.

Re: [Pod 0] Pillar of Hár (Crypolith) - Playtesting
Relevant game with the Pillars of Har here.
They are definitely strong, but can easily expose yourself to startzone raids (on smaller maps anyway) if you drop the Airbornes too early. Plus, one of the toy soldiers aren't safe on top of the tower. My customs. NE Ohio Tourney - TBA SW Ohio Tourney - NHSD 550 points AotV - Colliding the minis of AotP with the world of HS. |

Another game involving Airborne and Pillars here; one falling to his death after a Tarn knocked on the Pillar was a fun moment.

Re: [Pod 0] Pillar of Hár (Crypolith) - Playtesting
Are figures with flying or levitate immune from falling damage off a pillar? The one time that would be a mess is if Iron Man were involved

Re: [Pod 0] Pillar of Hár (Crypolith) - Playtesting
Since the figure is moving, anything that applies during its normal movement applies here.

Re: [Pod 0] Pillar of Hár (Crypolith) - Playtesting
Iron man probably isnt too much of a concern given marvel isnt played with classic often. Maybe something like Calibrax or the protectors of Ullar could abuse them a bit, unsure if they are worth testing though.

Re: [Pod 0] Pillar of Hár (Crypolith) - Playtesting
Those are definitely good things to test. Calibrax you may want to try to knock down, but you might still shoot at the Protectors themselves since they only have 1 Life anyway.

Re: [Pod 0] Pillar of Hár (Crypolith) - Playtesting
Protectors of Ullar and any other ranged figures with flying/movement powers should definitely be tested at some point with the Pillars. The Airborne Elite are likely to be the biggest problems of course, though.
The pillars will probably be easier to test once we have some maps/scenarios specifically built out. Normal HS maps will probably have a lot more elevation variation, which is of course good to test, but by virtue of the pillars favoring ranged so heavily, I think that they're going to be mostly relegated to casual games or special scenarios featuring them.

Re: [Pod 0] Pillar of Hár (Crypolith) - Playtesting
It's not too much different from those figures just occupying the highest point on a map. They can't be engaged (much more useful for Protectors who can fly away than Airborne), but they have an added weakness of being able to be knocked down. I'm optimistic those figures won't prove to be too strong on Pillars when tested.

Re: [Pod 0] Pillar of Hár (Crypolith) - Playtesting
Some of the wording (English-wise) in the OP seems strange to me. Has it been updated since Editing?
