Neat stuff here Smurf_Scape. Bring on all the random miniatures to greatly expand your games.

Now then, onto the Ascended Earth Elemental:

Terraforming is a fun concept in heroscape, but it can be tricky to utilize to improve your game. One devilish concept for his Earth Stomp Special Attack is to attack your own figures to create a nice hill for another one of your figures. You can park Raelin or Syvarris up there in order to keep height advantage and get a clearer view of the board. Could be useful to know when you do play with him.

For Ascended Fire Elemental:

Unwieldy Flames is a cool power, but you may wish to change to a special attack. While getting to take advantage of any attack bonuses may seem awesome, units who can move after one of their buddies gets hit will quickly get out of hand. In theory, they can also make themselves out of reach of the initial attack. As Special Attacks get around these (by often resembling explosions or such), you may find that to be a much easier option to work with.

For Ascended Water Elemental:

A water aura, so to speak eh? Neat. However, do you want land figures to end their movement if they step into the giant bathtub? That would be a game changer for this guy, as he would gain a very strong kiting power against anything melee. I'd like using that in tandem with standard Water Elementals and Kurrok.

In conclusion, keep it up! You'll have a thriving pool of units to draft from with this lot of units.

I was unsure about this, what are the rules for attacking your own figures? How might I clarify the special attack so that was not possible?

I'm not really sure if I understand what you are saying here. I think making it a special attack might also simplify some of the other interactions with the Ascended Fire Elemental.

Very true about the kitting ability, I think I want to change the Ascended Water Elemental to have a range of 1, make it so it has the decisions of whether to engage or not.

In conclusion, keep it up! You'll have a thriving pool of units to draft from with this lot of units.

Thanks for the input and encouragement! I'll try to keep this one going. I did set a pretty realistic goal for myself though I think. And believe I am making good progress.

You are making great progress! Keep it up.

You could simply add in "Earth Stomp Special Attack may not be used on friendly figures".

I probably could have worded it better, but yeah. Go with a Special Attack there.

Sounds like a good option to me. Scrub out bad guys with Aquapunches.

Haven't Played around with this much lately. Sorry everyone. Please feel free to leave critiques eventually I'll get back around to finishing this project. I have about 6 more months for my own deadline. Any and all help is welcome!

Re: D&D ToEE Full Box Customs - Need Help! - Updated 11/10/1

Really lost motivation for this. Playgroup got sick of Heroscape - I didn't have enough variety in troops or terrain, Arena of the Planeswalkers - Not enough enthusiasm for the theme, and ToEE - never could get a continued story/quest to go through.

I hope the stuff I came up with will help someone.
