Vecna's Customs

That arctic camo Drake repaint is pretty fun; I'm a fan!

[Vecna]

Thanks! Might actually play him soon, see how he does.

Whoa, there is no range limit on this thing! If the map works out, you could potentially fire this right at the start of the game, straight through your opponent's start zone. Sure, you would lose out on using the rest of his ranged attacks, but it would be so tempting. I can also imagine the threat of this weapon being more effective than actually using it; if you make your opponent think you are getting Drake lined up for a disastrous overload, they might abandon their current plan and frantically scramble their forces.

Yeah, we had a game where Cyprien basically ran amok and I thought of this. I need to reword it so he can also use the Cannon only once. Since it is not listed as a Ranged attack it would seem like you can do it as many times as he is alive. I think a stipulation of him not having moved may also be in order. But yes, the "threat" of the weapon being used is more of the intended use of the ability. My group is new to Heroscape so we are all just having fun designing stuff. Testing it out and seeing if we want to keep it. It is funny to see the ones with less tabletop wargaming experience immediately dive in to "give my charcater the best abilities, most dice, and make them cheap" stuff. This is my first design and I hope it isn't too powerful.

Prototype card.

Sgt. Drake had his first game tonight. We playtested him on a snow/ice/road heavy map. He performed well and killed 2 Unqiue Heroes. He took 4 damage before game end. 3 failed Rapid Fire attacks and one success. He got to shoot off the Proton attack but only killed one character. Fun game.

Nice! He does sound like a fun unit to run around the map, especially with so much snow and ice.

I find it quite amusing that he can now gain an extra attack dice from Khosumet, due to his relentless personality.

Relentless also means he bonds with Death Knights.

It's great to see you posting stuff on the site, @Vecna !

My next project is one that has been beaten into the ground but, I am doing it for at home games. I assembled a German Tiger 1 tank and it fits on a peanut base the way Dumutef Guard does but it occupies about 6 in game Hex Spaces. One "ability" it will have is "Big Target" and will be as follows "any Target within two hexes from the front or rear of Riesiges Entsetzen is considered adjacent to Riesiges Entsetzen for Normal and Special Melee Attacks.

[Vecna]

Here is a visual of the prototype Riesiges Entsetzen. I have not decided if this Hero and his Squad (to be revealed later) are Utgar or Valkrill. The Unique Squad will be the antithesis to the Airborne Elite.



Considering heavy defense, and a boost to movement to squad units that start adjacent to the tank. Maybe a bonus to enemies that attack the rear. Not fully developed yet, need to keep thinking. The model used is RUBICON MODELS Tiger I Ausf. E built in the "late production" style of the three options (late, mid, and early).

[Vecna]

Another few projects to come later will be the Unique Hero Riesiges Entsetzen Tiger I's Unique Squad "Blitzkrieg Überlegene Infanterie" using a select 4 models from the Warlord Games 28mm Blitzkrieg German Infantry (Not sure if Utgar or Valkrill yet), a Dungeons and Dragons Endless Adventure inspired Aquilla loyal Rainbow Dragon who has yet to be named but will be a repaint of Mimring, a Zettian unit used with a Gundam "Rick Dias" snap together figure Gundam Artifact: Rick Dias, and a Valkrill or Revna loyal Hero and 2 person squad utilizing the Chaos Space Marines Dark Apostle set from Citadel miniatures.

If anyone that sees this has some game friendly, balanced ideas, I would be happy to see them. These are in very early stages right now so I do not have any solid plans.
