That is automatic skulls, not added attack dice. When you have three guarenteed skulls automatically plus a 50% chance of a fourth, that is wayyy too powerful, imo.

My bad. I did not realize that when I read him the first time. That is a lot more powerful than I initially thought. All that being said I still think that on a single attack hero it is not necessarily over powered. In the world of squadscape you can still only take out 1 figure at a huge initial investment. I think only playtesting will tell but this could still work.
Again my apologies for he misudnerstanding.

HeroScape is back Baby! Whoo Hoo!!!

Good point. I originally wanted a more specific name and played around with Mordor Spears or Orc Spears, but they sounded too much like an individual's name to me, possibly because of Britney Spears (curse you!). Now I'm thinking I might rename the squad Mordor Orcs.

As for Lurtz's ability, it does have the potential to hit hard, but I was hoping the manuevering required to surround a target with orcs and the fact that it was a single shot against one target would help balance it out. As you said, playtesting will tell. I think if I end up making any change to it, it will simply be to lower the max bonus to +2 auto skulls.

Re: Sherman Davies' Lord of the Rings customs - update 6/17

What is the scale of these LOTR miniatures? Are they Scape sized or close to it? Your awesome cards have tempted me to go start collecting these figs too!

Re: Sherman Davies' Lord of the Rings customs - update 6/17

They're almost perfectly in scale with Heroscape.

Here's Annerios' very useful thread for determining whether or not a miniature looks in scale with Heroscape.

Re: Sherman Davies' Lord of the Rings customs - update 6/17

I've updated Frodo's card on the first page to reflect some input a friend of mine gave me recently when I showed him the card. He thought using the ring wasn't as risky as it should be. The One Ring power now destroys Frodo on a roll of 3 or less, which means the first time a player uses it a roll of 4 or less will destroy Frodo, since you subtract 1 from the roll for each time the power is used.

I also changed his Sting special power. Previously, it doubled skulls rolled in the same way that the Minions of Utgars' Deadly Strike did, but combined with the Ring ability and height it gave Frodo the potential to attack and get 8 skulls, which I thought was too much damage to expect from a minor magical dagger. Sting now adds an automatic skull when attacking followers of Utgar, making it dangerous to them but in a different way.

I've also been working on Frodo's friend and gardener, and the heart of the Lord of the Rings books, Samwise Gamgee:

Re: Sherman Davies' Lord of the Rings customs - update 7/4

I love the Sam card. Awesome- Hobbit Bonding is a great idea for him- I'm wondering if the bonding should make him worth more than 60 points, though. He's very similar to Shiori in both stats and points- except he gets bonding. Might be worthy of a slight bump?

And that sculpt is freakin' awesome. The frying pan!!

Yeah, I love the frying pan too.

As for Sam's cost, Shiori does have a couple things over Sam, though. She has a ranged special attack and is generally more mobile with her Phantom Walk and 1 extra move. Not to mention, she's thought by some to be a bit overcosted. Regardless, I haven't playtested Sam yet (or any of my LotR customs) so you may end up being right.

Re: Sherman Davies' Lord of the Rings customs - update 7/4

Mmm, you're right about the ranged special attack- I forgot about that. That puts it a bit further towards balanced, you may be right. Great card, anyway. I'm getting a fellowship set (the Games Workshop ones, though) somewhat soon, and I plan on testing all of these for you fairly well at that time.

Re: Sherman Davies' Lord of the Rings customs - update 7/4

You might want to specify somehow that Samwise can't use his Hobbit bonding to bond with himself. Otherwise a sneaky player could make a legit claim that he could just keep taking turns with Samwise from here to eternity.

C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

I don't understand...

Why didn't you include the "Stare Gayly into Frodo's Eyes for Two Hours of the Film Trilogy" ability on that card? Gosh!
