Borr combines his tireless attack and his giant attack spirit to the battles of Valhalla. He rounds out the last of my wave of giants (thought I still have many more figures of giants that I can design).
By General
Spoiler Alert!
Jandar
Spoiler Alert!
King Bjorwulf
Spoiler Alert!
This card uses Frost Giant King from Reaper miniatures. This guy's the main leader of the frost giants. His Frost Giant Kings' Orders special power is an interesting take on a leader power, it allows him to be an order marker hub to an extent and potentially get two turns with Frost Giants if he gets the right set up.
Wronthur
Spoiler Alert!
This card uses a frost giant ice mage from the Pathfinder Battles Rusty Dragon Inn set. Wronthur is another good ranged option for the Frost Giants and is more anti-hero as compared to Queen Freydis who is more anti-squad. His Ice Spikes help him a lot against melee figures trying to engage him.
Turgon
Spoiler Alert!
This card uses a Frost Giant (with sword and slightly repainted) from the D&D Icon of the Realms line and Storm King's Thunder set. A big bruiser that takes advantage of how Indomitable and Overextend Attack interact, allowing him to trigger Indomitable in different ways in a turn.
Bolgar
Spoiler Alert!
This card uses Boeroff Blackrime, Frost Giant Jarl from Reaper miniatures. The more wrathful of a pair of Jarls of the frost giants. If his partner Irus is killed he can get up to 8 attack.
Irus
Spoiler Alert!
This card uses Svetlana, Frost Giant Princess from Reaper miniatures. The
more stoic of the Jarls, Irus' heart turns to ice if Bolgar is destroyed, making her able to weather through any snow storm.
Queen Freydis
Spoiler Alert!
version 1.0
Spoiler Alert!
Card thanks to TREX
This card uses Reaper bones' Frost Giant Queen that I painted up, as can be seen in my paint thread. The thematic goal of her special attack is to show an Frost Giant summoning a buffeting hailstorm that affects an area similar to Myrridin's lightning. It might need some tuning as it hasn't been playtested and she may be undercosted as well.
Rhocron
Spoiler Alert!
Rhocron is a repainted Mage Knight Blade Golem
Iotacron
Spoiler Alert!
Iotacron is a repurposed Omnicron drone that now serves as a guard for Omnicron strongholds.
Iotacron is made from bits from the same Warhammer 40k pack that Picron and his drones are from.
Picron and Omnicron Drones:
Spoiler Alert!
Picron
Omnicron Drones
Picron has the ability to control the battlefield with his two drones and his numerous attacks. However, Picron and his drones have such a symbiotic relationship that without the other they are near useless.
The figures used for these customs come from a Tau infantry pack from Warhammer 40k.
Horguk
Spoiler Alert!
Horguk swings his mighty halberd into battle splitting cleaving opponents figures within his long reach. Meanwhile Borguk carries his large shield blocking attacks and countering with surprisingly fast reactions for his size.
Isodoran Explorers
Spoiler Alert!
Minis: from right to left: 30/40 Duros Scout Imperial Entanglements, 43/60 Duros Scoundrel Legacy of the Force and 40/60 Duros Explorer Alliance and Empire. All are very available and are at Auggies as well as other stores in great numbers and for cheap.
BIO:
After the Soulborg invasion of Isodora the Isodorans were exiled from their home planet and forced to explore the galaxy for a new home world. For years they were drifting in deep space and got lost in an astroid field. Right as their ship was about to crash Jandar summoned them to Valhalla seeing their good virtues and great intellect. Now their home world is Valhalla and they use their technology on the battlefield to quickly send their reinforcements to the aid of Jandar and his forces.
Captain K'Lrk
Spoiler Alert!
The figure used is a Duros Mercenary from the Star Wars Miniatures Game. K'Lrk helps out my Isodaran Adventurers and can be teleported in with their special power.
Chris Thompson
Spoiler Alert!
The figure used is Georgie Volkov from the Taunhausser miniature line. He is a soldier from the Exiled States of America from the year 2210.
Frost Giant Hewer
Spoiler Alert!
The figure used is a Frost Giant from the Wizkids D&D set Tyranny of Dragons. He fits on a peanut base. His low stats can be greatly boosted by his powers.
Einar
Spoiler Alert!
Borguk
Spoiler Alert!
Horguk swings his mighty halberd into battle splitting cleaving opponents figures within his long reach. Meanwhile Borguk carries his large shield blocking attacks and countering with surprisingly fast reactions for his size.
Luudesh the Ancient
Spoiler Alert!
The main idea behind Luudesh's design is that he is an ancient statue that only awakens when somebody stumbles into it. The figure used is Calikang from the Pathfinder Battles miniatures set Legends of Golarion.
Aegeus the Bronze Golem
Spoiler Alert!
Ng Mui
Spoiler Alert!
The figure used for this card is the Human Monk in the Wizkids Dungeons and Dragons miniature line. I tried to base the custom on the female Chinese monk
. I tried to have her Dragon Style power show how in her style of fighting she has a slow movements that shifts to fast strikes. Counterstrike is meant to show how she uses a lot of parries with her fore arms (as shown with the wrappings on the mini) as well as the historical Ng Mui's style including parrying.
Graxigor
Spoiler Alert!
This figure is an imperial sentinel from the Star Wars WotC miniatures line. He fits on a regular single base. He has good stats and can work alongside the C3V animata figures as well as themselves and my Calikang custom. Their teleportation allows them move without needing order markers.
Amarik
Spoiler Alert!
Amarik uses the sand giant miniature from the old WotC D&D miniatures line. He's able to bond with the sacred band, dreadguls and romans, giving him lots of options in who he leads.
Valkrill
Spoiler Alert!
Ollef Boulder Thrower
Spoiler Alert!
The ollef boulder throwers use the Large Spriggan miniature from the pathfinder battles miniature game. Because the figure has a large boulder, rock throw as a power was a no brainer. Similar to Halgo, they are inaccurate with their blundering oaf power. They have a good amount of bonding options and work well with Valkrill's hordes of orcs and durgeth.
Kiemkord
Spoiler Alert!
Bio:
Kiemkord was born the son of Taelord, but has grown to hate the ways of his father, the minions whom he leads to battle and most of all Utgar himself. Due to his grotesque appearance he was shunned by all other Kyrie. Kiemkord grew to hate his people and eventually stole the Trident of Proftaka from Utgars own treasure room. After savagely ripping the throats out of the guards stationed there he flew off into the horrors of Bleakewood. Long thought dead by both sides of the war Kiemkord was recently seen tasking the orcs of Faerun in one of the raids of Ullars woods. He has returned leading the forces of Valkrill to destroy his father and all the other Kyrie who shunned him so.
War Devil Dangerous delves
Demon Blade
Spoiler Alert!
Deamon Blade a.k.a Akuma No Ken
Figure: Death Demon Heroclix Indy set: very available at Troll and Toad.
BIO: Perhaps no human fits better in Valkrill's army then the fearsome Ronin Deamonblade other wise named Akuma No Ken. Once his Daimyo was defeated and killed Akuma wandered through the mountains of Japan. He searched for a blade of great power: the muramasa blade. The Muramasa blade is a excellent razor sharp blade that imbues the wielder with a psychotic bloodlust. While the sword had its affect on Akuma's senses he killed the husband of the future ninja Otonashi. Otonashi eventually trained in Ninjitsu to gain revenge on the Ronin, but before either could deal the finishing blow Vydar summoned Otonashi to Valhalla. Valkrill then appeared to Demonblade and gave him the chance to kill his would be assassin. Normally Akuma No Ken would not accept the Archkyrie's pact, but with the Muramasa blade gaining control he did. On Valhalla Valkrill empowered the Muramasa blade to have complete control of its wielder and thus making Demonblade a better master of the Counter Strike method. Also the blade gives the Ronin an alertness of enemies who try to sneak up on him reducing their attack and greatening the chance of a deadly Counter Strike.
Inthrachis
Spoiler Alert!
Ultaloth Unhallowed
Vulcanmech Helltillery
Spoiler Alert!
The figure used for this card is the Star Wars Hailfire Droid from the Universe set.
Vothor
Spoiler Alert!
The mini used for Vothor is the Fomorian from the Giants of Legends from the D&D miniatures line from WotC.
Canoloth
Spoiler Alert!
The figure used for the Canoloth is the Canoloth from the WotC line of D&D miniatures.
Nycaloth Hewer
Spoiler Alert!
The figure used for the Nycaloth Hewer is the Nycaloth from the Tomb of Annihilation set of the Wizkids line of D&D miniatures.
Aquilla
Spoiler Alert!
Colgi
Spoiler Alert!
Colgi uses the stone giant elder miniature from the Wizkids D&D miniatures line. He has a more laid back attitude and works well with the Mohicans and Makwa. I originally had him have a wild personality, but I didn't think it fit the miniature or the theme I was going for.
Thenalli
Spoiler Alert!
Thenalli uses the Storm Giant Quintessent from the Monster Menagerie III set of the Wizkids D&D line. She is quite the power house with her thunderbolt special attack, and her misty step allows her to reposition herself each round if she happens to be caught or to rush the opponent's start zone the first round.
Adsila
Spoiler Alert!
Mini: Pathfinder Heroes and Monsters: 21/40 Human Druid.
May I present to you Adsila. She is a tribesman that helps the tribsmen with their usually longshot concealment. She also knows of various healing salves that sometimes can heal even the most horrid wounds.
BIO:
Adsila used to remember the times when she would only dress her people with various plants and mud to help them ambush deer and other wildlife for food, but now she must prepare them for war with the colonists. A raid nearly took her life, but luckily Aquilla was able to bring them through her wellspring at the last possible moment. She now prepares the Mohicans for battle, but sometimes can be found near the battle ready to heal any wounds sustained by her comrades.
Clay Golem

D&D Clay Golem Dangerous Delves
Ticallan Slime Lurker

Fenrix and Favst
Spoiler Alert!
The figure used for this card is the Star Wars Flash Speeder from the Universe set
Bjorn Hunters
Spoiler Alert!
These guys use Werebear minis from the pathfinder battles and wizkids Dungeons and Dragons line of miniatures. I wanted to try and do a sort of randomized bonding, that doesn't feel like you lose out too much on a low roll. I also wanted a squad that reused the Battle Axe special power on a squad.
Cave Bear
Spoiler Alert!
The miniatures used for this custom is the Cave Bear from the WotC miniatures line. This guy has interesting synergy with the spiders while also bonding with the Bjorn Hunters.
Threskian Tribesman
Spoiler Alert!
The figure used for this guy is the Thri-Kreen Mantis Warrior from the D&D miniatures set Lords of Madness. He is a solid option that can bond with the Mohicans.
Ullar
Spoiler Alert!
Halgo
Spoiler Alert!
Halgo (Jotun's brother mentioned in his bio) uses a Hill Giant miniature from the D&D miniatures line. He's a bit shorter than Jotun, but is significantly bulkier. He has a very high attack, but because of his oafishness he often isn't as effective as he could be. His grab and bag is good to try and kill a squad or get an opponent's hero out of the way for a bit.
Tynalla
Spoiler Alert!
This card uses a repainted storm giant from the Rise of the Runelords set of the Pathfinder Battles line. Another bonding option for the Crypt Guardians, she can either use her Trident of force to put auto wounds on figures or for a larger single attack. She's also sturdy with her one shield defense and high life.
Shyanna
Spoiler Alert!
Elf Warlock from D&D miniatures starter set
Nochir
Spoiler Alert!
Nochir is a brawler of a centaur, charging from opponent to opponent to make big hits. Often it is best for him to take multiple leaving engagement attacks just so he can keep getting big hits in.
The figure Nochir uses is a Centaur from the Confrontation Game and comes as unpainted metal.
Zygohrik
Spoiler Alert!
The mini used for Zygohrik is the Young Green Dragon from the D&D miniatures starter set from the WotC line.
Vydar
Spoiler Alert!
Pophemus
Spoiler Alert!
Pophemus uses an Eldritch Giant miniature from the WotC D&D miniatures line. His rune sword makes his attack hit for a lot fairly consistently and he can repel attackers whether it is a normal or special attack with his arcane rune riposte.
Major C-137
Spoiler Alert!
Major C-137 and his portal gun are a wink and a nod to a certain fictional character. Also, his figure from the MechWarrior clix line of miniatures.
Hotepim
Spoiler Alert!
uses the Denizen of Leng figure from Pathfinder Miniatures Rise of the Runelords set.
Comments: Hotepim's name is a mixed up version of Imhotep, the Mummy in the Mummy movies. This is similar to how Sudema is a mixed up version of Medusa. He's not super offensive put he can kill some squads and confuse them with his Scarab Swarm power. His protective amulets he starts the game with and can give to the Undead in Vydar's ranks adding to their suvivability and helping out Sudema's pettty defense.
Sullo

Zhent Cavalry Lords of Madness #58
Utgar
Spoiler Alert!
Karkus
Spoiler Alert!
Karkus uses the Mouth of Grolantor miniature from the Wizkids D&D miniatures line. In D&D a mouth of grolantor is a hill giant that has been starved till the point that they'll charge and eat anything in front of them and served as inspiration for Karkus.
Magmareus
Spoiler Alert!
This guy uses the Fire Giant King miniature from Reaper bones. His high attack and tremendous cleave allow him to toss aside squaddies if they are clumped. His Militaristic Attack Enhancement helps his fellow fire giants do the same.
Kagna
Spoiler Alert!
The figure for Kagna is from Reaper and is called: Kagna, Fire Giant Queen. She's mainly good against hordes and likes to be in the frontline to do as much damage as possible before going down.
Volsteaus
Spoiler Alert!
This one uses the Fire Giant Jailer miniature from Reaper miniatures. His attack isn't the best, but he has a decent chance to either inflict auto wounds or move figures around.
Invekos
Spoiler Alert!
This card uses the a Fire Giant from the Storm King's Thunder D&D miniatures set. He's meant to give the Fire Giants some range.
Prince Vontle
Spoiler Alert!
This one uses the Fire Giant King miniature from the Lost Coast set of the Pathfinder miniatures line. He's meant to be a low cost bonding option for the Fire Giants.
Uvaak
Spoiler Alert!
This one uses the Fire Giant Dreadnought from the Monster Menagerie 3 set from the D&D miniature line. As a guard he also bonds with the Crypt Guardians and with his large shields he's able to do some line of sight blocking for them, helping them with range.
Vierstra
Spoiler Alert!
Vierstra helps the Deepwyrm Drow a lot with her shadow spell aura, giving them very high survivability against normal attacks, but it requires her to take a turn to do so. The ability also requires special consideration for her placement so that her aura doesn't boost enemy figures. Being able to destroy fellow Drow, enhances her survivability, but can quickly add up to a lot of dead Drow. She's a fun unit to play and really helps the Deepwyrm Drow compete with normal attacking units.
The figure used for Vierstra is the Drow Elite Warrior from the D&D miniature set Monster Menagerie II.

Ogre Skirmisher
Spoiler Alert!
The miniature is an Ogre Skirmisher from the WotC D&D miniature line. I've been toying with this design for a while as I've had this mini for a few years. The figure fits on a regular single base.
Marsh Troll
Spoiler Alert!
This figure is a Troll from Reaper Miniatures and fits on a large single space. With this guy I wanted to make a non-D&D troll that fits with the miniature. I do plan to work this guy into a larger faction with other figures with the amphibious power.
Bleakewoode Giant Bats
Spoiler Alert!
These guys use the bats from Safari LTd's Good luck minis (the same line as C3V's Xualtica Fire Ants). I had to give them little flights stands made from push pins. Here is a picture of them on their bases:
Fvraxz Soulrider
Spoiler Alert!
The figure used is a Soulrider Devil from the D&D miniatures line. He's a powerful (if complicated) figure that can posses squad figures and use their powers. Some good figures he can possess are the Minions of Utgar, Warforged Soldiers, Sentinels of Jandar, and other squads that can boost his stats and maneuverability.
Fire Giant of Argarak
Spoiler Alert!
Spoiler Alert!
The figures that I use for these guys are both from Reaper Miniatures and their line of Fire Giants (these ones are the smaller ones, while the newer ones are a bit bigger). For these guys I use a large D3 style base.
Tag-Yok-Sa
Spoiler Alert!
The figure used is a grell miniature from the Wrath of Ashardalon miniature that I painted as a Marro. He comes on a D&D style base. He acts as a hive mind between multiple copies of himself, showing how the Marro have further experimented with their Mindshackling capabilities. He can sacrifice a part of himself to help with a Mindshackle.

This card uses a Frost Giant (with sword and slightly repainted) from the D&D Icon of the Realms line and Storm King's Thunder set. A big bruiser that takes advantage of how Indomitable and Overextend Attack interact, allowing him to trigger Indomitable in different ways in a turn.
Bolgar
This card uses Boeroff Blackrime, Frost Giant Jarl from Reaper miniatures. The more wrathful of a pair of Jarls of the frost giants. If his partner Irus is killed he can get up to 8 attack.
Irus
This card uses Svetlana, Frost Giant Princess from Reaper miniatures. The
more stoic of the Jarls, Irus' heart turns to ice if Bolgar is destroyed, making her able to weather through any snow storm.
Fire Giants Flame
Spoiler Alert!
Kagna
The figure for Kagna is from Reaper and is called: Kagna, Fire Giant Queen. She's mainly good against hordes and likes to be in the frontline to do as much damage as possible before going down.
Volsteaus
This one uses the Fire Giant Jailer miniature from Reaper miniatures. His attack isn't the best, but he has a decent chance to either inflict auto wounds or move figures around.
Invekos
This card uses the a Fire Giant from the Storm King's Thunder D&D miniatures set. He's meant to give the Fire Giants some range.
Prince Vontle
This one uses the Fire Giant King miniature from the Lost Coast set of the Pathfinder miniatures line. He's meant to be a low cost bonding option for the Fire Giants.
Uvaak
This one uses the Fire Giant Dreadnought from the Monster Menagerie 3 set from the D&D miniature line. As a guard he also bonds with the Crypt Guardians and with his large shields he's able to do some line of sight blocking for them, helping them with range.

King Bjorwulf
This card uses Frost Giant King from Reaper miniatures. This guy's the main leader of the frost giants. His Frost Giant Kings' Orders special power is an interesting take on a leader power, it allows him to be an order marker hub to an extent and potentially get two turns with Frost Giants if he gets the right set up.
Magmareus
This guy uses the Fire Giant King miniature from Reaper bones. His high attack and tremendous cleave allow him to toss aside squaddies if they are clumped. His Militaristic Attack Enhancement helps his fellow fire giants do the same.
Tynalla
This card uses a repainted storm giant from the Rise of the Runelords set of the Pathfinder Battles line. Another bonding option for the Crypt Guardians, she can either use her Trident of force to put auto wounds on figures or for a larger single attack. She's also sturdy with her one shield defense and high life.
Pophemus
Pophemus uses an Eldritch Giant miniature from the WotC D&D miniatures line. His rune sword makes his attack hit for a lot fairly consistently and he can repel attackers whether it is a normal or special attack with his arcane rune riposte.
Thenalli
Thenalli uses the Storm Giant Quintessent from the Monster Menagerie III set of the Wizkids D&D line. She is quite the power house with her thunderbolt special attack, and her misty step allows her to reposition herself each round if she happens to be caught or to rush the opponent's start zone the first round.
Giant's of the Lost Lands
Spoiler Alert!
Amarik
Amarik uses the sand giant miniature from the old WotC D&D miniatures line. He's able to bond with the sacred band, dreadguls and romans, giving him lots of options in who he leads.
Colgi
Colgi uses the stone giant elder miniature from the Wizkids D&D miniatures line. He has a more laid back attitude and works well with the Mohicans and Makwa. I originally had him have a wild personality, but I didn't think it fit the miniature or the theme I was going for.
Karkus
Karkus uses the Mouth of Grolantor miniature from the Wizkids D&D miniatures line. In D&D a mouth of grolantor is a hill giant that has been starved till the point that they'll charge and eat anything in front of them and served as inspiration for Karkus.
Halgo (Jotun's brother mentioned in his bio) uses a Hill Giant miniature from the D&D miniatures line. He's a bit shorter than Jotun, but is significantly bulkier. He has a very high attack, but because of his oafishness he often isn't as effective as he could be. His grab and bag is good to try and kill a squad or get an opponent's hero out of the way for a bit.
Wave 4:

Pack 1:
Spoiler Alert!
The ollef boulder throwers use the Large Spriggan miniature from the pathfinder battles miniature game. Because the figure has a large boulder, rock throw as a power was a no brainer. Similar to Halgo, they are inaccurate with their blundering oaf power. They have a good amount of bonding options and work well with Valkrill's hordes of orcs and durgeth.

Reason: New Customs!!!
You'll need to upload your creations to a site like Photobucket to display them here - or, better yet, become a site supporter and upload them to the gallery.
I would suggest making blood fang curse a d20 roll of some sort, versus certain heroes its priced right but imagine if you used it on Q9?
On the Rock golem I honestly don't know how good the 2x auto shield is but it seems like it might be a bit too good (or maybe not since he only has 3 life)
Hello Toogwick tuk! Welcome to the forum. I'm new here too and have found it a great place to get feedback. People are helping me, so I figure I'd better return the favor.
I like your cards. I especially liked Sullo's powers. They seemed like a perfect thematic fit.
Re: Shyanna. I REALLY like her "Magical Familiarity" power. Seems like we need more figures like that to strengthen the elf wizards that came out in wave (...wave 8? ...I think so.).
Her Blood Fang Curse might be a bit strong. She doesn't have to roll a d20, and figures can't roll defense dice against it. All she has to do is get w/in 7 (clear sight?) spaces and she can destroy the most powerful figures in the game. Cool power, and definitely a good idea to add more strong women to the game, but maybe she should cost a little more.
I liked the Clay Golemn, too. Clay Tough seems like a good thematic fit for him. And two automatic sheilds is pretty awesome. I can't figure out if he's the right price or not...pricing is something that always hurts my brain (too much to think about!). What is your approach to calculating the value of a power like Clay Tough?
Yeah I think the clay golem might be a little to tough. Should it be like the Breakable wall section in the marvel set where he only gets the special defense when attacked by small or medium figures?
I think I got a little carried away with the Blood Fang Curse power. I think I'll make it more like Atlaga's Bolt of the Witherwood power so that a D20 would have to be rolled and have the range be 5. I think that two wound markers might be to much so I'll change it to one every round.
is this better?

You have very interesting units with some great thematic abilities. You have done a good job of conveying their "flavor" through their abilities.
With Clay Tough, 2 automatic shields is very powerful. With his base defense of 2 that gives him a statistical defense of 8. You have a 1/3 chance of rolling a shield on one die so to have a statistically guranteed shield you would have to roll 3 defense dice. So, for every automatic shield, it is equivalent to a defense of 3. So, 2 auto shields= 6 defense plus his base defense of 2= Defense 8. I hope that makes sense. Also, with 2 auto shields, it means he will automatically be impregnable to the normal attack of several squads. If they have an attack of 2, without any bonus', they will never be able to hit him.
All that to say, yes, you might want to reconsider that ability. You could keep a base defense of 2 and give him 1 shield defense (one shield blocks all damage) or if he rolls at least one shield the most wounds he will take from the attack is 1. There are a few options that could still give him a tough defense without being too powerful.
Again, I like the way you have fit theme into each of the cards. My favorite way to design abilities- I look at a sculpt and let it tell me a story and then I design the abilities to go with the story. So, theme is extremely important to me, even more so than "revolutionary" new mechanics. A simple ability packed theme wins out every time in my book.
I think that it is the right price but I'm not extremely sure. Also I think that their build nest power might not be explained well enough. Feedback would be great
Maybe they should be accompanied by a destructible object card for the nest? That way, your opponent can try to come in and burn 'em down. that would be a fun dynamic.
