Re: [Pod 2] Sorin of the Eternal Thirst
![]() Here's a card I made a way back. I personally love his current name "Sorin" (Not really big on the eternal thirst part), and I'm all for him to being an Esenwein! (Or perhaps he could be a rival Vampire, mebbe one who fights for Vydar, since Vydar's had a little Undead too!) Let's bounce idea's around, guys! ![]() "Our mother has been absent ever since we founded Rome; but there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home." |

Re: [Pod 2] Sorin of the Eternal Thirst
Just popping in to offer some thoughts on Sorin!
I get that the sculpt looks like a vampire, but he's one of the few historical opportunities that we have in this box, so I wanted to bring up my idea of turning him into again. This was the rough draft that I posted in the Pre-Brainstorming Thread about a year ago, for reference: Quote:
Anyway, I just wanted to bring up the possibility of a take on Vlad again in case the idea was buried by the passage of time. Given that Vlad III inspired the tale of Dracula, I think that the pale-skinned Sorin looks like a great opportunity for a loose take on the character. Feel free to pick anything out of that draft if it sticks. I look forward to seeing what y'all come up with in any case. ![]() Proud Member of Platyfly!

Re: [Pod 2] Sorin of the Eternal Thirst
Nice idea! Tbh, I really feel he should be a vampire, and at the bery least have the Lifedrain ability, especially since his face is super pale, too. Unless we did a historical/fiction version, call him "Vladmir Dracula" perhaps...? Like he's back from the grave hundreds of yrs later!
EDIT: I really like that Paralyzing power. Vampire 101. "Our mother has been absent ever since we founded Rome; but there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home." |

Re: [Pod 2] Sorin of the Eternal Thirst
What about something like this?
![]() OORrrr....Instead of "Whirlwind assault", if we really wanna go full out Dracula, how about something like this: Superhuman Assault: After moving, when Vladmir Dracula makes an attack, he may continue to use the rest of his movement, if any, after the attack resolves. (Vladmir Dracula must legally be able to end his movement.) Or something like that...that would jack up the price though. :evilgrin: "Our mother has been absent ever since we founded Rome; but there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home." |

Re: [Pod 2] Sorin of the Eternal Thirst
My initial thoughts were a Vydar Vampire, but that's more of a Sorin conversion. I think we should stay away from making him a vampire (not a fan of Lily as a vampire either, but that's not up to me) to make him something unique.
I like the idea of basing him off of Vladimir "Dracula" Tepes, but maybe not directly turning him into the historical figure. A brutal but effective warlord that demoralizes his enemy. |

Re: [Pod 2] Sorin of the Eternal Thirst
I mean honestly after trying to think on theme all day, the best way to represent stakes outside of markers (which I dont think is the way to go), is just have the enemy team be horrified and take a bit to go through. Just change the name of the air elys Vortex power. Then maybe do like a brutal leader or something like that and have where once a round you can sacrifice a figure to give a boost to all figures on that army card (for the turn maybe).

Re: [Pod 2] Sorin of the Eternal Thirst
I can see him being a particularly brutal warlord. Nothing wrong with that.
Gore + Attack Aura 1 (from Finn/Gilbert) makes sense for a Master Set, since it's simple and effectively portrays a jerk of a man. It also shouldn't tread too much on MDG/Finn/Gilbert's turf because they all have secondary purposes that really make them distinct. One special note about him being a vampire though, as @Astroking112 over in the discord pointed out*, he will need to sufficiently different from existing vampires in scape. Otherwise it will just end up feeling like a Cyprien clone, which nobody really wants. Of the 'Scape Vamps, we have these themes: Full Aggro: Cyprien Cheerleader: Sonya Abomination/Filler: Marcu Summoner: Iskra Necromancer: Nicholas Nicholas ties a bit into Cyprien's aggro territory with overextend, but doesn't get 2 "attacks" per turn like Cyp does. When I originally drafted a design for the mini, I designed him with undead supremacy (+1 to all undead d20 rolls) and a ranged special attack (hellfire). Since that scheme probably isn't needed in this MS, I won't propose it should be an option. We're already going to have ranged heroes, and probably at least 1 more special attacking unique hero. *I accept no liability for mistaking who said this. ![]() My customs.

Re: [Pod 2] Sorin of the Eternal Thirst
Here's what I got:
![]() Ruthless Warlord Once per Round, when a Squad figure you control who follows Utgar misses a normal attack roll within 8 clear sight spaces of Vlad Tepes Dracula, you may choose to immediately destroy that Squad figure. If you do, all other figures you control who follow Utgar may add +1 to their attack dice for the remainder of the Round. Terrifying Presence All Squad figures you control within 4 spaces and clear sight of Vlad Tepes Dracula subtract 1 from their defense dice. My thinking was make him a good bargain for his points, but at the same time there's a drawback if you keep Squad figures behind to guard him. Should we perhaps make it so any Squad figure can be destroyed, or just Utgar figures? Also not sure of his point cost either for what he does right now. 110 is just a guess. He's a warlord so the romans will have a filed day with him lol "Our mother has been absent ever since we founded Rome; but there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home." |

Re: [Pod 2] Sorin of the Eternal Thirst
And here's an undead version of him too, which I like a little better, tbh:
![]() (We could make this a warlord too, either way instead of vampire) "Our mother has been absent ever since we founded Rome; but there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home." |
