Custom Unique Squad Contest!

[Firemaster]

Here is my entry, the Aubrien Elite Snipers:



The figures are 3 different Mageknight figures (I forget which exactly
but they are all fairly common and should be obtainable fairly cheaply).

I think the cost is about right; when put next to Syvarris, they are fairly comparable, though obviously somewhat better, hence the higher cost.

Oh man Fire. Those are awsome. Lol can you make me a set.

[wk4c]

I'll be doing the same thing as Silver Surfer, and I would be very grateful to anyone nice enough to make up a card for me.

Cypriens' Royal Guard

General: Utgar

Undead
Unique Squad
Guards
Terrifying
Medium 4
[3 Squad Members]
Life: 1
Move: 7
Range: 1
Attack: 3
Defense: 4
Points: 125

Undead Lord Bonding
Before taking a turn with Cypriens' Royal Guard, you may first take a turn with any Undead Lord in your control.

Cyprien Defense
If any of Cypriens' Royal Guard are adjacent to Cyprien Esenwein, all shields rolled by Cyprien's Royal Guard count as an extra shield.

Stealth Flying
When counting spaces for Cypriens' Royal Guard's movement, ignore elevations. Cypriens' Royal Guard may fly over water without stopping, pass over figures without becoming engaged, and fly over obstacles such as ruins. When Cypriens' Royal Guard starts to fly, if they are engaged they will not take any leaving engagement
attacks.

Hey wk4c, you never mentioned how many figures are in your squad. And it's spelled Guards not Gaurds.

Agent Skahen!

I making mine with some Halo Clix Elite figures.

Not sure what the stats are yet, and I need to brush up on photoshop too.

And what Pumpkin_King said "Can we use custom cards."

[iceman3317]

Hey guys. If you need pictures for your figures just search images and find some. It might help in judgeing. I whould also suggest you all useing normal cards,that will also help you in judgeing.


Table I think it might be a good idea to make another thread like you did with the last contest.

[bmaczero]

Are images required, or do they gain bonus points, or does it not matter if you have an image or not?

Do we have to have a figures to represent the unit?

You don't need actual figures - just make up the unit with a custom card.

The Minuteman nervously checked his musket again. He tried to drown out the clinking, hissing, and screeching of the two robotic figures before him.

For three days they had defended the pass against the mindless horde of undead. Endless numbers of zombies climbed the rocky hill toward the Automatons, only to be gunned down in a flurry of steam-propelled bullets. The Minuteman ground his teeth as a particularly lucky zombie reached the top. The Automaton swiveled its gun, trying to fire upon the zombie, but it was too close. Instead, it backed up and pointed a fist at the savage. It rocketed forward, through the zombie, breaking bone and liquefying necrotic organs. It clanked to the ground, then was swiftly pulled back in by a length of chain. It clanked back into the robot's shoulder and released steam as it locked back in. The Automaton turned is lifeless eyes back to the horde and opened fire again.

The human paced back and forth, trying to escape the two mindless types of beings around him; both the zombies and his "allies" the Automatons fought with steely certainty. The robots, known only as the Automatons, mechanically fired and re-loadedfrom their seemingly endless supply of ammunition.

Suddenly, a flash of red pounced upon one of the Automatons. Cyprien Esenwein snarled as his sword bounced off the robot's thick armor. Turning slowly, the robot attempted to fire a round at his attacker, but the vampire was too swift. He dodged the volley of bullets and drew back an ice-covered hand. He slammed it back down on the robot, fully expecting it to freeze over; but the Automaton, unfazed, punched the vampire and knocking him off his chassis. The vampire hit the ground hard, and was rewarded by a round of bullets from the second robot.

Hissing and cursing in Feylundian, the Cyprien retreated into the sky. The Minuteman watched in disbelief as the Automatons, totally unfazed, went back to their work on the zombies.

Truly, he thought, their creator was mad.

And a genius.


At this point, I hope custom blanks are okay, because re-doing this one would seriously suck. Also, a thousand points if you can guess where their name came from.

EDIT: Also, I need a point range. I'm terrible at assigning a point value to my cards.

I am going to have to enter this one....using my newly painted Archers.
(Beautiful work Raud)

That's fine.


Jexik, the contest will last at least two weeks, but I don't have an end date yet.

[Pumpkin_King]

Snap, totally forgot to say the steampunk Jandar blank was made by, owned by, and copyright of CupidsArt. Huge thanks to him.
