Wave 3 - Ascent of the Goblins - FINAL

Well it took me a while but there are Bio's for all of my Wave 3 units now : )  They probably need a tweak here or there but I'm pretty happy with them.

Nomad,
Would you like us to move all of the Bio's, Books, and the latest Army Card that you have posted to the OP for each unit?

yes - if we can everything updated in the OPs, that would make updating Heroscapers.com much easier for me. I know that there are a few updated Wave 3 cards I haven't added in yet.

Thanks.

Damon, I have updated OP's with all info, removed unnecessary pictures and laid them out in the same order (for all completed figures).  Hopefully this makes your life easier in getting them to heroscapers.  Thank you for your efforting here. Let me know if it would be easier for you if Laid out differently.

Thank you!!!!

Please see the latest post in the Unit Template thread.

Here is my first single figure post on HS in our thread. Please take a look and let me know where it can be improved.

http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showpost.php?p=2001414&postcount=128

I plan on doing the same for all of the figures and turning in the OP into a list that will go to each individual figure post.

That looks awesome Damon. I will rearrange mine accordingly, which I think just means moving character name and such above the image.

Unless I missed someone, mine should be in the desired format.

All books should be good except for the goblins and their effect. Hopefully I didn't miss anything. None of the books have been checked against Jarek Guy or Prince Alkohora, Blood burst Thrall, Crypts of the guardian, knights of the blackgaard, or the heroes of the lost citadel (may have here without any).

The over-haul of the the Heroscapers.com thread is complete. Please take a few minutes to check it out. Let me know if you notice anything amiss or have suggestions for improvements. I haven't had a chance to check if all of the links are perfect.

Soon, I will add the lists of our figures in the second post (alphabetical, points, by general).

Holy #$% the new format on Heroscapers.com is AMAZING!!!!

Fantastic work, good sir!!!

Before we release wave 3, we need to decide on titles and theme. I'm good with Derek's suggestion to go with mountainous theme. I threw out a bunch of ideas a couple of weeks ago, but after much thought and fun with the thesaurus, this is what I've come up with. Your input is requested.

Wave 3 Title: Davion's Defense

Wave 3
Pack 1 - Veterans of Desolate Peak
Commander Kaelix (Kai) #35
Skerak (Damon) #40
Zard Manstabber (Derek) #42
Runk Battlesinger (Derek) #43

Pack 2 - Heroes of Bastion Ridge
Alyssa Davion (Kai) #47
Michael Davion (Kai) #46
Konrad Von Bramgur (Derek) #37
Tawarthion (Kai) #34
Kronan (Kai) #44

Sounds Awesome!

I am in meetings the next few days for work but I'll see if I come up with any suggestions by the end of the week.

Thanks Derek and Kai.

I appreciate your creativity and thoughts. I'm very much a detail dude (so, forgive me if I trample or draw you into minutia).

A big site bomb for Wave 3 figures tonight - I can only squeeze in multiple hours every few weeks, so I took the opportunity. If you can't respond for a while, I totally understand.

Every figure in the wave has received a thorough read through of the powers, a thorough read through of the thread, a thorough recollection of our discussions, a thorough revision of the card, and I'm sure I'm missing something or making errors. I appreciate your review and feedback.

I wouldn't mind starting to release these guys in the next week or so for those we have considered done.

Any suggestions?

I've come up with a couple more:

Zard's Excursion, Zard's Surge
Rise of the Goblins, Ascent of the Goblins

And here is a rough draft of the into theme to the wave:


Deep within the bottomless caverns of the Kyrien Mountains, long since summoned by Utgar, a teeming swarm of Goblins had waited, plotted, and trained. At Utgar's command, the Goblins ascended from their dark dwellings to wreck havoc on the uplands of Valhalla to gain a stronghold in the strategic and centrally located high grounds of Bleakwoode. Joining the legions of Goblins, Utgar's forces were reinforced by a powerful warden and a fearsome orc champion.

The treachery of Vydar continued as he set his scientists and technicians to work deep within the caverns of Anund. Vydar ventured to create a very unique squad out of the destroyed and boosted the abilities of some newly summoned doggins.

Ullar brought to Valhalla dimension-shifting protectors from the ethereal domain of Davion and elven druids from Feylund to defend against the Goblin menace. Two more primordials joined the alliance, one with the ability to animate earth and the other the forest. A high cleric of Kresnick was summoned by Aquilla to lead and inspire the fearless.

And, in the far north, on the glaciers of Thaelenk, rumors of a savage ice demon creating chaos swirl like the snow.

Sounds awesome! Ascent of the Goblins or Zard's Surge would be my choices.

Unless there are any objections, this is what I'm proposing we go with:

NWHC Wave 3: Ascent of the Goblins

I'm going to be working on the backside of the cards to include the wave info today and hopefully we can start releasing them in the next few days.

Thanks for all of the excellent work in this trivial, but darn fun adventure we share.

Looks really good.

For the Wardens of the Wood ... maybe just "Shield of the Druids" instead of Oakenshield ...

OK, thanks for the input. The exclusive squad title has been changed:

I'm making progress on the backside of the cards - I'll upload either later tonight or in the next few days to get your final scan for errors on these.

EDIT - The backsides are done, but I'm out of time today. I'll upload them as I have time this week.

Sounds sweet.

I have inserted all of the backside images for the cards in each figure's thread for wave 3. Rather than do a new post with the card, I inserted it into the post where I had put the front side of the card (for ease in copying to the OP and so that I didn't do thread bombs). You may need to scroll up a few to 10 posts to see the new back side of the card.

Thanks for taking a look at them - let me know if you see any errors.

I think we are ready to start releasing. Any thoughts on who should go first?

Any thoughts on who should go first?

don't matter to me.

Maybe Pack 1, then Pack 3, then Pack 2, then Pack 4.

Heroes (with Goblin Uniques) followed by Slashers and Guardians, followed by Davion heroes.

I'll be releasing Pack 1 on Heroscapers.com this weekend. Also, I've done some additional sorting of figures in the second post on HS. Please respond to comments on HS and post some live action pics if you can.
