| | 17 Jun 2007 09:51 AM | | Certainly a piece to worthy of taking a look at here. I am not sure that the attack bonus is too low, especially if he's capable of delivering 25 damage twice in a single activation for only 29 points, plus with a decent enough AC for CE and the magical 65 hit points, he may actually get a chance for a full attack the first round of combat.
We will see how he does. | | mark - Champion of the Goblin Worg Riders | anteblue_at_yahoo_dot_com

| | 17 Jun 2007 10:48 AM | | Indeed a nice miniature, Uncommon one, and with a lot of potential. +11/+11 for 20+5 acid, and with the right commander 25 + 5 acid, it could be a mounstrous secondary hitter. And protective slime, in a one on one fight make 5 to 10 acid damage more, NAAAAAAAAAASTY!
What about:
LBD 44
Orc Wardrummer 19
Tiefling Blademaster 27
Babau x3 87
fodders for 23 points

| | 17 Jun 2007 11:29 AM | | At first blush, I didn't think it would be a competitive piece. But, it's priced about the same as the Shadowdancer and Cormyrean War Wizard and looks to be about as tough.

Dave I also had the first thought that it would be nothing special until his cost really sank in. With a reasonably efficient 29 point hitter, we could see a revitalization of the CE quad hitter band *with* wardrummer: Tiefling Captain Large Black Dragon Red Samurai Orc Champion Babau Orc Wardrummer Hunting Hyena Orc Warrior ... or something like that. Who ever thought an Orc Champion could be morale saving at +17 in a quad band... | | A Proud Gelatinous Dude and DDM Guild Chapter of Vancouver

| | 18 Jun 2007 05:35 AM | | I guess that this mini would be very functional in sealed tournament. I don´t think that Babau can be used in 200 pts format frecuently due to relative weak attack. CE have hard hitters with low bonus attack, and against AC up to 24 (LG with Eberk and Dwarf Artificer) Babau have to enforce a lot to hit effectively. | | | |
