ORC MOVEMENT AURA
If an Orc figure you control begins its turn within 2 clear sight spaces of Hrognak, it may move 1 additional space. Hrognak's Orc Movement Aura does not affect Hrognak.

TRIHORN CHARGE 3
Hrognak rolls 3 additional attack dice when attacking any figure that was at least 3 clear sight spaces away from Hrognak at the start of his turn.

HOWDAH ARCHER SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 6. Attack 2.
After attacking normally, Hrognak may attack with Howdah Archer Special Attack. Hrognak may target and attack non-adjacent figures with Howdah Archer Special Attack while engaged.



The first figure used for this unit is a D&D figure from the Blood of Gruumsh set. The name of the figure is Orc Archer. The second figure used for this unit is a D&D figure from the Lords of Madness set. The name of the figure is Trihorn Behemoth.

This figure fits on a double-spaced base.

Character Bio: (from the Front Page)
The earth trembles beneath you. Do not stand on the road! You are not safe! Hrognak's legend has indeed grown. He now sits atop a mighty trihorn, and if you are lucky enough not to get trampled, you may live long enough to get shot with an arrow.
_________________________________________________________________

-Rulings and Clarifications-
Q: Can I have both Hrognak and Hrognak (mounted) in the same army?
A: No. Just like Raelin and Drake, you cannot have two Unique Heroes with the same name in your army at once. You and your opponent however may have different versions of Hrognak.

Q: Can Hrognak attack with Howdah Archer Special Attack if he does not attack with his normal attack?
A: Yes. Just like previous powers that state “before moving” or “after moving and before attacking”, it isn’t contingent on actually doing those functions (you can choose not to move, just like you can choose not to attack). Rather, "after attacking" tells you when that special power takes effect during Hrognak's turn. Howdah Archer Special Attack is an attack action which may either follow a normal attack, or may be the only attack of the turn.

Re: The Book of Hrognak

I take it that the unique hero rules for multiple versions of the same character apply here as well? As in, you can't have Hrognak's stand alone card and this version of Hrognak in the same army?
 
Re: The Book of Hrognak

Good question. The answer is definitely yes, as stated in the SotM rulebook.
 
Re: The Book of Hrognak

The C3V Rules Team would like to add the following R&C:
Q: Can Hrognak attack with Howdah Archer Special Attack if he does not attack with his normal attack?
A: Yes. Just like previous powers that state “before moving” or “after moving and before attacking”, it isn’t contingent on actually doing those functions (you can choose not to move, just like you can choose not to attack).

Re: The Book of Hrognak

Could I request that this thread get renamed "The Book of Hrognak (Mounted)" or 2.0 or something similar? (Much like how the Drake and Raelin books are named -- it makes it so much easier to search for.)

Also wanted to drop these pictures off here from our gathering last Saturday. These models are awesome and great on the battlefield, so why not thirteen!?

Re: The Book of Hrognak

Question regarding Hrognak on top. Is the intention for his base to be glued to the top of Trihorn? I'm asking because it does have implications for moving through overhangs as a loose Hrognak can move around the top of Trihorn as it goes through tight spaces helping him squeeze through narrow paths.

If he is to be glued, then it becomes more challenging for him to fit in certain spots if he does not have any give.

It came up during a game because he was able to get past a palm tree by sliding around the base of Trihorn a little.. Had he been glued, he would not have been able to pass.
 
Re: The Book of Hrognak

I just have the mini glued to the top of the howdah. If your Hrognak is doing double duty, then I guess you might want to find a way to keep it on its base while on the trihorn.
 
Oh, I see. You still have him on the base he comes on. I cut mine off and glued him on. Makes him more of a unified, single mini. IMHO. I can't imagine endorsing any other way, but it's not something we discussed internally.

You actually just answered my next question! I do have him based but I'm going to remove him and glue him directly on the Trihorn. For some reason I thought I saw in the picture that he had to be on his personal base.

Thanks!
 
Cutting off of the base and gluing it to the howdah will probably look better, yes. Though personally I'm keeping mine on the base to use without the trihorn too, and that's what I've been encouraging those in our local scene to do as well. That archer is hard to find! So for those who have it I think it makes sense to be economic and let it pull double duty.

I had the Gruumsh box set so I had an extra one to spare. I think as long as the base is securely attached to the Trihorn it shouldn't be a problem. There aren't too many tournament maps with overhangs anyway.
 
Something really cool to do would be to cut a hole in the howdah (that's how you call the dino, right ?)'s platform, the size of Hrognak's base, with a small magnet under it. Then you replace Hrognak's base with the cuted circle on the platform and just paint the borders for a more "classic heroscape base" feeling.
And that's it, when you use mounted Hrognak you have a fully integrated figure, hold by a magnet, and you can remove the Orc to make a standalone hero. :)

The howdah is the platform, not the dino, chap. :) The dino is something like a triceratops (not sure if it's any specific dinosaur, but something along those lines).
Howdahs are platforms placed on the backs of large animals (usually elephants) in the real world, often used for parades, hunting or warfare. This is how a large number of war elephants were employed in real life - they'd often have a howdah with archers mounted inside it.
Cool idea, though. :up:
 
Ow... okay then.... I just discovered that this word also exists in french the same way..! :rofl:

(I'm not editing my message, I guess it will make some more people to laugh at it, still being understandable :mrgreen: )

That doesn't surprise me, it's a loan word, basically - initially Arabic or Indian I believe. I don't think any western-European culture has actually used animals that such a contraption could be used on, let alone needed to come up with their own word for it. :razz:
It's not exactly common word, I'll grant you! :) I just happen to be a massive history nerd, so it's fairly familiar to me. :)
 
Is there a way to purchase one of these figures as pictured??? I just saw Sir Heroscape's recent video and this figure was just so freakin cool
 
@Soundwarp SG-1 can set you up with everything except the archer mini, which you have to find for yourself (and glue onto the platform). I don't *think* he's run out of them yet.

There is a perfectly acceptable alternate orc archer in my Alternate Sculpts thread, linked in my sig, though you'd have to paint it.

Perhaps you can track down the original, or some other acceptable alternate. And if you do find a good second choice, please let me know so I can add it to the Alternate Sculpts thread!
 
Message @Soundwarp SG-1 to see if he still has - it will have all but the Orc which you can find online then glue. Full set of Blood of Gruumsh goes for more than $120 now, but you can find the Orc Archer on some online stores such as CoolStuffInc, Google and eBay
 
That makes me so happy!

Could you just make the howdah and associated gear? The trihorns are still plentiful out in the wild, so to speak, I believe. Then a person can get the trihorn and the archer mini from wherever, and you send everything else. A little glue and it's beautiful.
 
Yes, I can keep making Howdahs as much as needed. That’s all entirely of my own creation, doesn’t use any parts from anything or whatnot.
