Yes they do, but since this one is a good proxy for the blue span thunderlizards on RHoD and RHoD is a very fun adventure that I am running, I'll take 5 of these uncommons please [:D] | |

| Well when I asked Rav950 for a pic of the Skeletal Reaper, he said it was pretty sucky. So that probably means its a common. I'm still hoping he'll log back on and show me a pic of it so I can put it up.
I think the bluespawn looks all right. I'm still not sold on him tho. Needing two in your band in order to use his one electricity attack really doesnt sound very promising. I just dont see enough damage output from him, but only time will tell. | |

| Weird. The mini is called a bluespawn storm lizard, but the electricity arc specifies another bluespawn thunderlizard, not storm lizard. We're not getting both a storm and thunder lizard in the same set are we? That would be sorta redundant.
The thing also looks like a rhinoceros. | |

If by that you mean that the Stormlizard is large, yeah, I got that. But I was asking if the Thunderlizard is medium. I don't have MMIV at hand.
Or, am I just missing something really obvious?

Thanks for catching that as I'm sure it would have taken many of us several days to realize something was amiss. I sure hope it is not a grievous typo that many will complain about as many have enough to gripe about, that which will not be named. We all know what it is. At least we know that the Pit Fiend will be in the set so it greatly helps in off-setting the disappointment.

| Oooooh, nifty. A Quad Bluespawn band would be a bit like a Quad Belcher band, plus they can Electricity Link to eachother.
I have a feeling that it's rare, but it could be uncommon. *shrug* | |

| | I am not buying into the propaganda of Spawn hate. I do not like how many of them look but I find them very interesting. I think most noticeable for me is the lightning bolt is a special ability and so is the electricity link so they can both be done while based. Also since the link is a Swift action if you only move 8 you can do the lightning bolt or attack as well as the swift Electricity link. I also like the solid AC along with solid speed. If the Bluespawn Thunderlizard is not a typo it better be a darn good mini is all I can say. | |

| I was hoping there wouldn't be anymore spawn for a while, but I suppose it was inevitable. The Thunderlizard is one of the cooler spawn though, so I can live with it.
Interesting stats, I suppose, but this thing will be nerfed in sealed unless you are really lucky. | |

| Actually, interesting stats. LE quad Belcher. Erm, LE quad Linker?
Its autodamage has saves on it, but it has more of it when compared to the Belcher. Only thing that bothers me is the save. 6 is way too low to consider a quad of these since theres no Drummer in LE... And I'm not sold on using a Blackguard with these, either. | |

| | By the wording it looks like electricity link works with any thunderlizard within 12 squares, meaning you could have 1 stormlizard and 3 thunderlizard set in position and arc 10 electrical damage between all 40 of them | |

| Point #1: I'm pretty sure Bluespawn Thunderlizard was changed to Bluespawn Stormlizard between RHoD's release and the MM4/Blood War. Logically, that seems to be the case. I'd guess that any reference to either Stormlizard or Thunderlizard is indicating the same critter (hopefully Shoe will correct me if I'm wrong).
Point #2: Please be uncommon, please be uncommon, please be uncommon (if you say something enough times, it'll come true, right?) [:D] | |

Did he also happen to mention the number?
Compairing Belcher with Linker... RED VS. BLUE.
Cost: Same
Level: Red wins at 8, over Blue's 6
SPD: Same
AC: Blue wins at 23, over Red's 18
HP: Red wins at 85, over Blue's 70
Melee: Blue wins at +13 (20), over Red's +11 (15 + 5 fire)
Abilities:
Red: Double Damage from Cold; Fire Belch x3, range 6, 20 fire damage, no save, + splash; Immune Fire; Tiamat's Blessing
Blue: Electricity Link x2, Swift, line 12, 10 electricity damage, needs another rhino to work, save DC19; lightning bolt x1, line 12, 20 electricity damage, save DC19; Immune Electricity; Powerful Charge +10; Tiamat's Blessing
The Fire Belcher wins in the Abilities department hands down. The "auto swift" 5 electrical damage 2x, where you have to line up 2 rhinos, does not make up for the belchers splash with no save. Belcher is immune the most common element, but double damage from a slightly less common element.
Line 12 has been said to be a game winner, but 1 shot with a save, it's gonna be tough to pull off. | |

| I think skimish wise the red is superior.
The belchers can also have the drummer or other support wedged between them for saftey and still use thier special abilities, where as the blues need some distence between them to best use the swift zap.
Powerful charge is nice though. | |
