Re: C3V and SoV Books of Index
Yup, there was a little glitch and an early version of Zaeus was accidentally posted to the front page, rather than this correct version.
We'll call him Hatamoto Zaeus now. New? Read this. | The INDEX 2.0 | Mmirg's Maps Magnify Your Scape: BoV | SoV | C3V (Playtest!) | C3G The Dice Tower Con w/ Scape! |

I'll also be doing the same sort of maintenance of the books we see from Rev, trying to keep conversation focused on the experience of playing with the unit. |

Re: C3V and SoV Books of Index
Interestingly, all three units currently linked in the OP begin with the letter Z. The Letter of the Day is "Z."

Re: C3V and SoV Books of Index
I am really pumped about the C3V customs. Same goes for SoV. I am really impressed with these army cards--they definitely have the feel of classic 'scape, but they add something new. The figures also look really great.
Thanks so much for all the time and effort you've put into this so far! I do have a question though--I thought I read somewhere that C3V and SoV were both given the authority (by someone who had the authority) to officially add figures to the Heroscape canon. Was I wrong? Or was it just SoV? Because I saw the notice on the blog-post about how these are not official figures. |

Re: C3V and SoV Books of Index
No one actually is adding anything to the official canon, but many members of this community are willing to accept the C3V and SoV units as tournament-playable. They will never be allowed at any official GenCon tournament, but they are thoroughly tested.
At the risk of tooting my own horn, I would say that we have extremely high standards for what we will allow ourselves to accept. |

Re: C3V and SoV Books of Index
These units are all balanced, like everything that came before, with casual play in mind. The Greater Ice Elemental costs 120 points and will not ever be feared as a tournament powerhouse. Not because he costs too much, but because to get 120 points of value out of him you need the attendant circumstances (map, army, opposing army) to be just right.
When you start talking about competitive environments, it's up to the tournament director. I'm a tournament director, and at my events C3V and SoV are both allowed. I had the advantage of knowing how awesome the C3V units were, though, when I made that rule. The Tournament Director's #1 responsibility, in my opinion, is to get people to show up. If people come to his event and have fun, he's succeeded. To my mind, allowing C3V and SoV is a way to keep the hobby breathing and alive for the future, to keep people coming back as they play with new units and new ways they may interact with old ones. So I allow them. I'll be interested to see how they are received at events elsewhere, at the events where they are permitted. For now I hope TDs are looking at what we've done and are saying "That looks sharp, let me see what else is in Thormun's Reprieve, and maybe I'll allow it." But it's their decision and, as I said, I believe their number one priority is to get butts in the seats. footnote: GenCon is its own animal. I'm glad I don't have to decide anything about GenCon. |
