Re: Kinseth's Customs - Gnoll Faction the works.
Cards from Pre-SoV post:
Spoiler Alert!
I am liking the Gnoll faction!! I'm guessing that WARPATH power only exists as power because there aren't 4 good sculpts to use for full squad of 4. As you stated in the Pre-SoV thread, they are very similar to the Heavy Gruts. The Gruts can get an Attack and Defense boost from Tornak or Grimnak, while the Gnolls need 2 other figures adjacent to boost their attack. Assuming 80-points for the full 4 figures, I'd be okay with 3/4 stats. It probably puts them in the A to A- range like the Heavy Gruts, so go higher if you want more balance at B+ to B. I could see dropping Ragsh down to 120 - 130 point range and maybe limit his Overwhelm to Gnolls being within 5 spaces and not just figures you control. He's going to have a big target on his head - since he's the only Chieftan and eliminating him not only takes care of a double-attacker but also drops the Warband down to just a 3-figure squad. |

I do however, ask that people would take a small amount of time and fill out a questionnaire I drew up to better gauge the public response to the gnolls. It is anonymous, thanks guys.

Re: Kinseth's Customs - Gnoll Faction the works.
I have enjoyed the progress on the GNOLL faction so I ran a play-test last night.
Here is the report: http://www.heroscapers.com/community...dbae4a9447fb2d File: http://www.heroscapers.com/community...o=file&id=4404 And I went ahead and ordered some of the figures!! Peace, *Kai Last edited by obfuscatedhippo; June 10th, 2015 at 09:08 PM. |

Re: Kinseth's Customs - Gnoll Faction the works.
Thanks for the battle report, In everyone I playtest against, they all report having a bunch of fun playing with or against the Warband.

Re: Kinseth's Customs - Gnoll Faction the works.
Regarding Uzog,
Not sure if you want the feedback, but I really like the design and would love to see him move forward. - I think a lot of people underestimated 3 defense 6 life. Both Venoc Warlord's and Marcus' durability can be very surprising. - I love the skull collector idea, and Never minded the lost turns, especially when working with a squad. I do wonder if losing an order marker (so it could be mitigated) or losing defense or the ability to inflict leaving engagement strikes would be better. - I felt Terrifying presence was tacked on, and weakened the simplicity of the unit. - When I played him I used him with a squad to take on bonding heroes. After he got a marker or two he could be a beast on the battle field, and juggling heroes worked for me. In the times he was left to the end he served a role similar to Venoc Warlord without the first strike. By that point there were few units left or he had his skulls so loosing turns was not a danger. It actually might be that 55% chance that is hurting him. If you had a +80% or more chance of getting the marker, then it could be predicted and planed for, as it is you may go multiple rounds and never hit that marker. You may even want to remove the die roll entirely. - In one on ones, I found he could easily take on heroes at or above his point total even without terrifying presence. Really a 6L, 3D, 4-6A Melee hero is a fairly potent warrior. That is up there with Alistar, Arktos, and the aforementioned Venoc and Marcus. It is also worth noting that with less life, you have X17, Crixus, Scarcarver, Manauvi, Ulfrid, and Original Drake. At 65 points, he could easily go toe to toe with any of them (except Crixus). Hope this helps. I love the figure and theme and think a certain C3V unit could really use a hero like this. |

Re: Kinseth's Customs - Uzog
Continuing on Uzog:
I really like what you are trying to do with this guy and would love to see him pass the SoV process. I agree with many others on not over complicating it. I don't think there is any need for Terrifying Presence. He doesn't strike me as terrifying in the way that a Skull Demon would. I think the trophy collection would be better suited to just boil it down to the Tagawa's Bloodlust ability (under the trophy collection theme). It wouldn't be just a rehash because it would be on a hero, rather than a squad. It's much cleaner, less swingy, and still illustrates the theme. Now, maybe that doesn't seem unique enough, but personally, I would love to play with a hero with this ability. The Tagawa are amazing fun. To package that up in a hero costing half of what the Tagawa Samurai squad would, sounds fantastic to me. But of course by making trophies guaranteed and not a D20 chance his cost would probably go up. Tagawa Bloodlust: Quote:

Re: Kinseth's Customs - Gnoll Faction the works.
I agree with this. If you're likely to lose a turn from it then planning your strategy to fit the ability of the figure would be much more fun then taking a shot in the dark. Removing the roll completely is also an option that sounds worth while...but not necessary.

Re: Kinseth's Customs - Gnoll Faction the works.
Thanks for the feedback.
I'll cut to the chase and show you the version I am working on now( @wriggz feel free to "Try" him with a certain C3V unit if you feel compelled to do so.) Life 6 Move 5 Attack 5 Defense 3 Points - ?? Trophy Skulls - Once each round, when Uzog destroys an opponent's figure, you may place a Skull Marker on this card. If you do, Uzog cannot move for the rest of the round. A maximum of 2 Skull Markers can be placed on this card. Gruesome Display - Opponent's figures adjacent to Uzog roll one fewer die when defending against a Durgeth for each skull marker on this card. Summary - He starts out a little stronger of a hero with 5 attack, you can choose when you want to place a trophy marker card and its negatives are not as strong. You can still attack with him should you place a marker, but the not moving, represents the time needed to take a skull. Plus I think units that give people hard choices to make, help influence game play. The change to Gruesome Display is one I kicked around for a while, obviously getting Bonus to attack is worth more in almost all occasions. +1 attack dice or -1 Defense dice. But there are situational things that come to mind. It does offer a nice synergy(though small and very situational), to a certain C3V unit... Would be happy to hear thoughts on this(And if anyone wants to test the version, a price cost.) Thanks for your input guys. Have you tried Hexscape? 3D Heroscape Multiplayer Battle program!

Re: Kinseth's Customs - Gnoll Faction the works.
I like your stone giant. I just seen it rejected by sov. I have a few ideas to make it more appealing while keeping your theme. First. Instead of taking away your attack to pick up a rock. Pick it up instead of moving or give the option to either pick up instead of moving or attacking. Then the attack is more useful allowing you to drop the reach while keeping theme. Ive seen this giant come up before and thought it was cool. Im pretty stoked for the idea of your design. Cool stuff on here.
