Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
My custom unit Skalmad consist troll miniature you may like. This troll might be better than any troll hero. When I started to post this custom on my thread, I was anxious to playtest this unit. Here is the army card for this troll hero.

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
At first glance he looks pretty good....but what is the miniature and it's availability?

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
The figure used for this unit is a Troll from the D&D set. The name and model number is Skalmad, the Troll King Dangerous Delve #34.
I am not sure about the price of this miniature, the site might differ. Where I got was amazon for $12.47 cents. |

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
The price is one thing...but how many miniatures in the market are there? In order to be considered for SoV there need to be enough of the miniature in the market for a reasonable number of 'scapers to be able to purchase without the figure becoming super rare.

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
I'm a bit late but...
Just change the wording on Smoke Cloud to match Estivara's Cloud of Darkness so that it remains active till the next order marker. That version of the ability already has precedent, and the memory mechanic will now be tied to a physical thing in the form of an order marker. This would mostly retain the same functionality as what you currently have. My Custom Designs.

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
You may want cheerleader units that synergies with their species. If you making a troll custom, make synergy with other trolls a thing. It will be confusing with a troll that has synergy with ogres. The classic game has 2 in the form of Feral Troll & Ice Troll Berserker and there are 2 ogres miniatures that Ogre Pulverizer & Ogre Warhulk. When I was searching the C3V and SoV books, I saw no book of any troll or ogre.

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop
I think that we're straying a bit from the intended purpose of this thread at this point.
@superfrog : I know that you took Chalice of Fortitude as inspiration for the wording of Unholy Fervor, but I think that something along these lines sounds a little more natural. Just something to consider: Quote:
Also, did you intend to rename Dragonkind Enmity to Dragonkind Enemy? So far as I can tell, it's still the same as the ability for the Nhah Scirh Cultists. @Heroscaper 101 : I liked the first version of the Blood Mist Ninjas far more. I think that the points being leveraged against them were mostly: 1) To be in the SoV, you might need to find three different ninja sculpts for sale online in large quantities. I recommend checking sites like MiniatureMarket, CoolStuffInc, and whatnot to get a better idea of the availability and price for the figures rather than Amazon (also, you can generally find C3V/SoV minis for cheaper from those places, too). Here's a quick google search of HeroClix's Hand Ninjas. If you can find 3 cheap, widely available sculpts, then I think that would pretty much solve this problem. 2) Smoke Cloud can be confusing if it relies on them staying put. While Estivara's Cloud of Darkness had that limitation, you could easily cut that clause out, leaving them invisible even if they're moved by the opponent, and keep the power as-is. I think that it works rather well, and gives them more flair than a new version of Thorian Speed. 3) Sacred Dagger might be a little too strong combining Double Attack and Deadly Strike. This would show in playtesting, though, and could easily be addressed with a price bump (my estimate of 130 was just a rough one, and you may need to adjust it if these guys are too strong in your games). As for Skalmad, I like his design and sculpt, but the availability might not be there for SoV. Unfortunately, there's not really much that we can do if a figure becomes too rare/expensive to find. It's fine to use a rare figure for a personal custom, but SoV judges typically expect to find over 50 copies of a Unique Hero for sale, to ensure that a good proportion of the community can enjoy the "official" figure.
