Figure used:
Archfiends #41 Gravehound


Availability: 3 @ Troll and Toad for $1.29 each.
7 @ MiniatureMarket for $2.50 each.
17 @ AuggiesGamesOnline for $3.29 each.
20+ @ CoolStuffInc for $1.99 each
28+ @ Ebay for $2.99 to $5.71 each.

What is better than your opponent's face when he sees Cyprien? When he doesn't know when you're going to move Cyprien. These guys give you that option. At only 100 points a piece you can get 3 of them plus Cyprien and Sonya for 500 points. Then you could keep Cyprien within striking range but have your OM's on these guys. That means your opponent has to be careful of how close he gets, otherwise Cyprien can bite hard. Plus these guys roll 5 attack against most small of medium figures.

If Son of Arathorn is correct (he has a custom using this figure), this squad is a bit off. They're Small 3, not Large 5. Also, I think Cyprien Bonding is pretty much always going to be way broken...

Thanks, will fix that. I don't have the figures so I just went with the Deathstalkers size. Also, will the "Instead of" phrase be better instead of "Before"?

"Instead" is much better. It's certainly not broken, but it can't really be named Bonding. Maybe something else?

They're Wolf of Badru size, I think.

"When attacking an opponent's non-Soulborg Unique Hero, Gravehounds add 2 to thier attack value."

The previous wording would have made the power affect your whole army. I don't think you wanted that.

Seems small. That's smaller than the Marrden Hounds, and their sculpts are knelt down as if they are stalking their prey much like the Gravehounds sculpts are.

Any suggestions on the power names for Undead Lord Bonding?

A slightly more advanced Isamu and very minor Cyprien (in move relationship with a special like flying). Able to move quickly over terrain with 8 move with Agility. This guy could do some damage before he dies or glyph grab (?). Needs some working on points but he looks good.

Figure Used:
Half-Orc Spy #06 Blood War


Availability: 2 @ Troll and Toad for $2.49 each.
2 @ MiniatureMarket for $2.50 each.
9 @ Cool Stuff Inc. for $2.49 each.
More than 26 @ Ebay for $2.21 to $5.71 each.

Same stats as Isamu with situational powers. Costing may be a bit low but not by much (with 10 points, IMO). He's uncommon but is kept in check by his low defense and life though he can be hidden from special attackers like Q9 who could take 3-4 of them out normally.

[Arch-vile]

Very neat. It would take a ton of skill to use the Spy correctly. If I were facing him, I would send out my squads to kill him quick, because heroes will be hurting if they get attacked. He really needs shadows/places to hide with only 1 def/ 1 life. Very spy like!
