Re: Astroking112's Custom Units [Update 5/19/18]
Hey Astro, I see you’ve been busy.
Arboris - Cool dude. His capability in battle will be completely based upon what your opponent uses. Firebomb Zelrig for example can blow a large portion if your points away as early as turns 2 or 3. Cyprien can also turn the Ent into a husk fairly easily. I’d also see how he fares against non-suicide heroes of similar cost before settling on his cost. Thing like Agent Carr and Drake Alexander. A full Overgrowth Arboris could be tasking for those heroes. Heavy Tackler - Every team needs are QB and this guy is it! I’m not sure what the best strategy for this guy is: Charge him against 2 minis or 1 mini. Getting that bonded turn is very helpful, but Throw Damage is very unreliable. You’ll have to record or remember the reasoning for how the player uses him, since that directly affects his competitive level indirectly of his cost/stats. Good luck! Boots of Valda - Darn, here I thought I would have gotten around to posting my only renamed version first. Move is a useful enough effect, and I’d rather have it than say Attack +2 vs Undead. Glyph of Syn - This should make for a neat scenario glyph. -1 Range isn’t all that much of an effect, so I guess if someone wanted to use it in a Tourney, it wouldn’t be OP. Good to see someone else making glyphs now. You really can go freeform with them... sometimes you just need that OP glyph to help the castle attackers. Good stuff Astroking! My customs. NE Ohio Tourney - TBA SW Ohio Tourney - NHSD 550 points AotV - Colliding the minis of AotP with the world of HS. |

The Heavy Tackler is a double-spaced figure. Thanks for the reminder to make that clarification. I'll make sure to add that into the post. I called the ability Team Player because it feels like he's setting up the Black Harts to me. Either by throwing their target away (so that they can then get their Group Tackle bonus again) or by purposefully not engaging with too many enemies, he can help his team excel a little bit more. Because of this, I don't view it as normal leadership, so I'm hesitant to call it that (especially since I think that a Unique figure is more thematically matching for that role). I do see how Loyal combined with Inspiring can imply a more strict leader/follower relationship, though. I originally had created a new personality "Determined" for all of the Athletes, but I later went back and attempted to convert them into either official or C3V personalities to make them fit more. I had intended that "Loyal" was aimed towards the team as a whole, not specifically the Heavy Tacklers, while the Heavy Tacklers simply were inspiring because of their strength and ability to help. Thanks for the feedback! You've caught a lot of mistakes that I need to fix, along with giving some nice points about the personalities for me to consider. Quote:
I agree on much of your sentiment about Arboris. He was somewhat of a nightmare to price because of how variable his stats are (and that's before considering that he uses markers for health), but I definitely think that I erred on the high side to avoid him being overpowered. I'd like to point out that he gets a marker at the start of the first round as well, so he should be able to at least survive one attack from Zelrig or Cyprien to give your army a chance to engage him, but at the very least, your opponent will likely have to overextend to kill Arboris that early and leave a much more expensive figure in a compromised position. It'll be difficult to fully compare him to Agent Carr or Drake, since those begin at full strength (but aren't likely to be used that early), but they do fulfill similar roles. Quote:
Sorry for posting the Move +1 idea first! If it's any consolation, seeing your thread was the inspiration/reminder that I needed to post my glyph ideas here. I've always enjoyed the packs that include more glyphs, and I think that it's a bit of a shame that most people don't design any new ones. I doubt that I'll include a glyph with every pack that I design, but it'll be a nice addition every now and then. As for the Glyph of Syn, I'd agree that Range -1 isn't too powerful. I had considered Range -2, but I thought it would've felt weird for the edge cases where having a lower range resulted in a higher one (such as Range 3 becoming 1, while Range 2 stays at 2).

Re: Astroking112's Custom Units [Update 5/19/18]
The addition of the Heavy Tackler makes the athletes more interesting to me. I actually have ideas for a similar theme (future bloodsport warrior-athletes) and these guys are very interesting to me because of that. I might have to pick up the Battleball figures. Are there enough in the box to do two squads?

Re: Astroking112's Custom Units [Update 5/19/18]
Thanks for your interest! I am considering making some minor updates to him (mostly to let him work with any Black Hart Unique Heroes as well), but those changes need some more time in the oven first.

You could probably ignore the color difference and just say that you have 12 athletes for either side, though. If I have the time tomorrow, I can take a quick picture of the full set of miniatures in the box and post it here. Proud Member of Platyfly!

IF you remember! I'm interested in seeing what you could get from the box.

I will wholeheartedly admit to a faulty memory. Hopefully this isn't one of the times that it fails me.

Re: Astroking112's Custom Units [Update 5/19/18]
My memory has not made a liar of me today!
The full set contains 20 single-spaced figures and 2 double-spaced ones. Here is a picture of the complete set in their box: And here is one of them outside of it and grouped together somewhat. My current plans for the set are to create two Common Squads (Black Harts and Iron Wolves, one for each of the teams), one Common Hero (Heavy Tackler), two Uncommon Heroes, and 6.5 Unique Heroes.

Re: Astroking112's Custom Units [Update 5/19/18]
6.5 unique heroes?
Also, it looks like you could do two squads of 3 for each team, yes? |

Re: Astroking112's Custom Units [Update 5/19/18]
I stand by what I said.
Quote:
I could easily change the Black Harts to be a 3-person squad and make Group Tackle subtract one defense die for every Black Hart that the target is engaged to, instead of every other one, but unfortunately only one Heavy Tackler is included in the box anyways, so it's likely that two copies of at least that side of the box will be needed for the faction. The only way I see around that one is making the Heavy Tackler a Unique Hero, which I don't like very much. Proud Member of Platyfly!

Interesting. I might pick up a box for myself and let you know how it hits me.

Re: Astroking112's Custom Units [Update 5/19/18]
If you do, I'd love to hear how you feel about the figure distribution. I'm not a big fan of combining Unique Heroes into the same box as a single Common one, but at least the box can still be found for $5-$20 online.

Re: Astroking112's Custom Units [Update 5/19/18]
I'm fine with that sort of distribution if the box itself includes full multiples of the commons, like SOTM. One box is "enough" so to speak.
I'd be able to say more when I got my hands on one, of course. I'll look out on ebay and let you know. |
