This is also currently the only house rule at my table: road tiles are wall-walks, and wall-walks are roads.

THAT IS ROCKIN'. If only it was cheaper to build that army. No order marker worries, good movement, immune to a lot of specials, good power. On a fairly flat map with some road, and I can see how that would dominate.

i think that army would lose horribly in a normal 1 vs 1 game. The big weakness is that you will never get more than 1 attack per turn

Does the Dumutef Guard's Devourer Enhancement stack like the Swog Rider's Orc Archer Enhancement?

[1Mmirg]

Based on the wording, I think it does. It looks the same as the Orc Archer boost from the Swog--and there the FAQ specifically says, yes, the boost stacks. I'd love to hear something more official, but for now, I would say yes (remember that thread with the DumGuards all around a single Anubian Wolf...).

I don't know if this has been said or not but I was reading about this guy, I haven't heard of him yet or played with him yet but I like the fact that he has a relentless attack. Would opponents ever get tired of the relentlessness?
If anybody has played this guy how well does he work around the board? Just wondering.

I think that the Dumutef is an excellent unit for only 25 points. I mean, on height and with the road bonus, it has 6 attack and 6 defence! Add in Khosumet to that scenario, and the Dumutef has 7 attack and 7 defence! I had a Dumutef like that almost KO Jotun in one hit!

Um, how exactly?

[gorthan313]

Ooops! I forgot that Khosumet doesn't give bonus defence! I feel stupid....

[NecroBlade]

It's all good, it happens.

[gorthan313]

But the 7 attack is nothing to be dismissed easily!
