Orcz and Trollz

Yesterday, GW released the anticipated River Trolls, and also some orc cavalry and heavy melee troops. And as usual I cannot afford these new figures.

But for those of you who may have obtained them one way or another, I guess I'll make some Heroscape stats for them.

River Troll

Utgar

Troll

Uncommon Hero

Marauder

Terrifying

Large 9

Life- 4

Move- 4

Range- 2

Attack- 6

Defense- 3

Points- X140?

Special Powers:

Regenerate

Threatening Reach

Aquatic

There, they can swim, have a little bit of range from those giant swords they have, and regenerate like any other troll.

I'll post some Boar Boyz stats later.

New Mini Total

It occurred to me this morning that I hadn't taken a look at the size of my collection in a while so I made a list. All included I have 255 miniatures ready to play from 5 different miniature games. I have more from Digimon and other random toy manufacturers, but I can't their names...

My recent minis I recieved from lefton4ya were a DDM Spectral Magelord, 2 Heroscape Greater Ice Elementals, an Air Elemental, and a Water Elemental from the Champions of the Forgotten Realms.

Also, a shout out to Soundwarp SG-1's Soundwarp Space, in 'My Links' off to the side!

Upcoming DDMs

Recently looked at http://www.ddmspoilers.com/ and saw that there was a major update on Lords of Madness and the Castle Ravenloft board game.

For Lords of Madness, it looks like they got a hold of some pictures of the box sides. Seems we are gonna get a sweet volcanic dragon, a swordwing, and a heroslayer hydra. Those are figures I will definitely be looking forward to buying, my birthday is in July!

For Castle Ravenloft, we are getting a possible rerelease of quite a few figures, especially kobolds. I've had my eye on that huge dracolich for a while, that will be one I'll buy single probably on the first day of release or prior. Other than the figures the board game looks nice, except maybe the price. I will probably just buy singles from this set and maybe find out if someone else will let me borrow the adventure.

Ankheg Design Phase Completed

A peak at a figure for my Master Set, the Ankheg as seen in the D&D4E MM2. I'm thinking about 30 points for this one. I'll will soon start the Playtest Phase. Stay tuned after that for some Ankheg Broodlings.

I Make A Master Set

OK, I'm starting a project I think I can stick to this time. This time, I'll be making an unofficial Heroscape Master Set. The units in this Master Set will even be playtested so you can use this too!

I will not consider this project complete until:

• I have created and playtested 15+ units
• I have created 3-5 scenarios
• I have created 5+ glyphs
• I have created one destructible object

I will check more and more of these off as I go. Right now I am working on a theme. I'm trying to add onto the ongoing story already and make something that seems like it was produced officially. If you'd like to see any particular units like vipers or undead in my Master Set just post the idea and I will consider it. Maybe a woods theme? The Black Woods? I just don't know...

Dragon Age Inspiration

I've been looking around for a good idea for a super adventure for the late paragon tier of my D&D campaign. I was playing Dragon Age Origins and had an epiphany. An Underdark Civil War where the PCs have to gather the alliance of some of the races against the other army.
I'm thinking something like dwarves, orcs, and something else as the races that side with the PCs.

Balor Heroscape Card- not quite done

I finally got my lazy butt to make some cards. The first up is the Balor card. You will notice it has no points, because I still haven't playtested it. The little symbol on the bottom with the wing in it means Flying. A good way to save space.

In other news, I have written the plot and the first encounter for my Level 3-4 D&D4E: Clan Wars. This adventure stars a city terrorized by creatures of the night and its the PCs job to get to the bottom of it.
