Descriptions such as the one copied below do not help us fans trying to find the miniature:

He is single spaced, and can be found at Auggies(58 for 3.99), MM(9 for 3.00), RPG locker (34 for 3.95).

Also, I think that resubmissions should have to include the miniature information each time. In the case above the second and third submission did not include any miniature information.

In conclusion, we greatly appreciate custom creation and thorough review for keeping this game fresh - just make it a little easier for us please.

Thanks

Is that Maltis Tez? If so, I don't know why Leaf_It left the mini information off his most recent nomination. I would expect each nomination, even if it's the same guy returning, to be a single, complete post, so that when people look at the one post that matters, all the information is upon it. The nomination of a custom is not supposed to be an ongoing process; each nominating post should be - as you say - complete unto itself.

If it's not that one, which I'm sure will be corrected soon, which one are you looking for?

Spoiler Alert!

Name: Maltis Tez
General: Aquilla

Uniqueness: Unique Hero
Class: Scout
Personality: Fearless
Size: Medium 5

Life: 3
Move: 7
Range: 1
Attack: 2
Defense: 3
Points: 25

STRATEGIC REPOSITION
After attacking an opponent's figure with Maltis Tez, you may move Maltis Tez up to 1 space. This space may be up to 5 levels higher, or lower. Maltis Tez never takes leaving engagement attacks while using Combat Positioning.

FIRST ASSAULT 2
When attacking with Maltis Tez, if the defending figure was not adjacent to Maltis Tez at the start of this turn, roll 2 additional attack dice.


Known synergy with: Teeth of the Makwa, Venac Worlord, Brave Arrow, Van Nessing, Seleena, Werewolf Lord.

Known weakness: Once she's engaged, she only has 2 attack

Thank you for the kind words about the C3V. I see it as our service to the community, and feedback like yours - from that community - is therefore especially gratifying. I suspect that my friends in the C3V, SoV, and C3G would all say the same.

That information should be in each nominating post, obviously. Then, when someone links to the nominating post, the required information is all there.

Thanks for the reminder, D_S.

Linking back to the original nomination you made is always a good idea (to explain the changes, and to link back to any backstory/homeworld/sculpt information that remains unchanged).

As the person who most has to deal with digging up these things (me, the guy who has to record it in multiple places at multiple times as a unit moves through the process), I appreciate this reminder to all submitters to put all relevant data (including mini info) into every submission, even for a quick turnaround resubmit.

[Leaf_It]

Sorry for not including the Mini information in the submission guys. I have added it now.

As for "Strategic Reposition" I was thinking of it as the name of an ability, not as a verb. "Strategic Repositioning" is just fine, and I would have no problems with changing it to that name instead.

So I figured it was high time I threw my own hat into the ring here, it just took some time to find an acceptable figure since that's obviously not something I usually worry about for my stuff.

So presenting Agent Fawcett SoV-candidate edition:



The basic idea here is she's the 'surprise guest agent' that shows up half-way through the story in a James Bond film or the like to open the super secret door or what have you. Ghost Protocol and Stealth Suit allow her to function 'off screen' during a game, while the 'main characters' get the OMs, waiting for her 'big scene'. After which her narrative protection is no more and she's mostly likely immediately killed off by Odd-Job or Jaws.

Stealth Suit is admittedly complex looking, but that's out of necessity. Like Flying however, it's very easy to use in a game after you understand what it does.

The figure is Agent May from the Nick Fury and the Agents of Shield set, there are two different versions with identical sculpts and paint (one from the main set, another from the 'fast forces' pack). Troll and Toad has just over 50 in stock for under a dollar, Cool Stuff Inc has at least 8 (that's as many as I can get into a cart, though the site says they have 'over 10'), and a quick look at ebay showed at least 30 more available. It matches with the Heroscape Agents pretty well, just as well as anything can hope to really, but the shiny blue jacket keeps her easy to identify on the field. She needs rebasing, but it's an easy job given her pose.

Cool design! Love the theme. It comes out very nicely in the design.

Out of curiosity, do you have other designs that use stealth markers? Or other plans for them? Seems like an interesting choice to call out "one Stealth marker" and "at least one Stealth marker".

[Scytale]

There are some that cringe at the usage of markers, but I sure don't. This is a clever design with a neat mechanic and use as a drop-in to an Agent army.

I'm one of these. There weren't many original designs that used markers. The most clever designs are ones that don't need any markers.

However, there are times when the abilities they support are worth the little bit of extra fiddliness.

[superfrog]

So when it says she is not not attacked, does that mean she IS attacked or that she's EXTRA not attacked?
