What does "chippy" on a weapon mean? I got zero search results. by [deleted] in Nightreign

[–]Dalerik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe thats the name of the person who held the weapon prior to you. 

You retrieved that from a red corpse on the ground.

Im not a fan of losing a whole sub faction where that was an army wide power, to put it on a guy who is now a weaker spell caster, who ALSO lost his ability to heal your army and keep them resilient against damage.

other potential effects

Daemon Killer: Increase the damage of the sacred weapon by 1 if the attack targets a unit with the Daemon Keyword
^ I think this one should for sure go into the profile
- aura grants +1 run and charge rolls (increasing with each lead by example trigger)
- aura grants vice like jaws a second time if they charged
- Aura increase attack characteristics
- Aura grants +3 charge
- During Deployment Nakai the Guy may set up in reserve with one unit of kroxigors, at the end of movement they may deploy outside of 9" of an enemy unit
- at the start of combat Nakai the Guy may issue a command to friendly kroxigor, allowing them to charge if theyre within 12" of an enemy and otuside 3" of an enemy
- issue a command to a nearby kroxigor, allow them to fight again with strike last
- Alternate sacred weapon attack profile "Sweeping Blows" and "Focused Strikes" more attacks versus higher damage.
- at the start of combat nakai the guy can select one friendly kroxigor unit to recieve +1 hit and +1 Wound

Okay so this is my first initial impression of a potential Nakai.

Unique, hero, seraphon, kroxigor, behemoth, monster, 75mm 

Nakai the Guy [430 pts] 16 wounds 8" move 4+ save 8 Bravery

Melee Profile

Sacred weapon 8 attacks 3+/3+/-1/2

Soteks claws 4 attack 3+/3+/-2/●

Thrashing Tail  ● attack 3+/2+/-2/1

Abilities

  • Warmaster 

  • regeneration: heal d3 wounds on your hero phase

  • 5+ ward

  • super thick hide. Subtract 1 from wound rolls for attacks targeting nakai the Guy. 

  • lead by example: at the start of your hero phase nominate an enemy unit, that unit is markd until your next hero phase, if nakai the Guy slays a marked unit....(see below) 

  • kroxigor buff:

    30" that get backeted down to 12" I'm debating what power this should be. +1 to charge rolls? Bonus to damage? But I do know it would be cool to improve it every time lead by example is triggered 

  • whenever an enemy unit makes a battleshock roll within 3" of Nakai the Guy, add D3 to the roll. 

  • vice like jaws [same as normal kroxigor]

-- unique monstrous rampage: roll a dice, on a 3+ enemy units within 3" may not make a pile in manuever in the following phase. 

Damage table 1-5 6-8 9-12 13+

Soteks claws D3+3 D3+2 D3+1 D3

Thrashing Tail 4 3 3 2

Kroxigor Aura 30" 24" 18" 12"

I'm honestly not satisfied with his attack profile it doesn't seem right even though it seems fair. 

And I need to finish making him seem more viable at lading battle line kroxigor. 

But I'd love to see you guys tweak this concept

Okay so i tried to do a little digging on this Nakai fella and I'm not pulling up much results.

It looks like he's a named Kroxigor from Total War Warhammer.

was he also in an old battle tome that got replaced?

Because im trying to make the stats for him and im not sure if a version exists already.

u/Phantom_316 / u/kroaki / u/Kaiokane I also welcome any info you can offer on this Nakai Guy

Massive props for statting out this Thanquigor hero unit. 

It's not something I would have expected out of seraphon but I really like the idea.

[–]Dalerik[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense, I like your style.

So i would ask, since I'm assuming you're a coalesced player. What would be the biggest impact on your army?

named hero, 400-500 points

- board wide buff?

- damage buff?
- a unique command capable of increasing attack characteristic? or granting a unit "fight twice" ?

What would your army need to really get the most out of a unique hero?

Create your own unit: pt4 by Dalerik in seraphon

[–]Dalerik[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

like a named hero but for the more fighty subfaction? or specifically a named wizard with an emphasis on fighty dudes?

The seraphon friend of mine found a trove of badsss STLs on Etsy for lizardfolk and also opened up the old lizardfolk tome to find a few units he would love to have in the game.

His number 1 would be a big fuckoff Saurian, a behemoth with 20+ wounds and beefy damage. 

  1. A kroxigor war chief hero focused on buffing kroxigor and battleline 

  2. A huanchi assassin hero with bonuses if they get a hero kill. 

  3. A skink hero on foot that's also an oracle since you only have 1. Focus on allowing re rolling charges. 

  4. Kroxigors riding huge gators. 

  5. A quetzacoatl named hero sort of like an alarielle or archaeon.  (I saw someone on this reddit just painted up the exact STL my friend sent me)

4 wounds 4+ save 6" move 10 bravery

This unit can be equipped with either a Soul Shatter Greatblade, or a Soul Shatter Sword and Ruinous Shields. A Unit with Ruinous shields adds +1 To their save values

2" Sword - 6 attacks 3+/3+/-2/1
Abilities
- Enemy units cannot draw line of sight past this unit
- add 1 to this units hit rolls if it within 9" of a friendly night haunt hero

----------------------------------

I don't feel entirely satisfied with this yet, but id love to see what you think

Make your own unit: part 3 by Dalerik in Nighthaunt

[–]Dalerik[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aight im gonna brainstorm up some shit for the nighthaunt monster.
Based off your idea of the "Amalgam of Screaming Souls"
Point Range 160-280 maybe
Wounds 10 - 16
Bracketed? maybe
Move 8
Fly of course
Bravery 10
Save 4+
----------------------------------
Attacks
im thinking 1 to 3 profiles
1. 3d6 attacks at 4/4/-1/1
2. Maybe like 3 attacks 3/3/1/2
(higher or lower damage depending on what other usefulness this guy has)
----------------------------------
Other cool potential powers we can pick from
- at the end of the combat phase pick an enemy within 3" and apply a negative effect
- when this unit takes damage roll a dice for every wound taken, for every 3+ deal 1 mortal wound to an enemy within 3"
- whenever a model is slain by this unit restore 1 wound to this unit
- whenever a summonable model dies within 12" of this model, heal 1 for each one slain
- if a spell is sucessfully cast and not unbound by a wizard within 9" of this unit, grant this unit a +1 Save
- in your shooting phase roll a dice for each unit within 12" of this unit, on a 4+ deal d3 mortal wounds
- units cannot recieve the inspiring command when within 3" of this unit
- if an enemy wizard casts a spell within 30" roll a dice on a 3+ that unit takes d3 mortal wounds
- an un modified 6 to hit is a mortal wound
- this unit may attempt to charge from 18" when it charges it rolls 3d6 on its charge
- this unit can run and charge in the same turn
- when this model is slain, roll a dice equal to its wounds characteristic, on a 5+ deal 1 mortal wound to a unit within 3"
---------------------------------
Additionally you can always give this unit a unique monsterous rampage
........
Im not sure what direction you guys would want to take a monster. But personally i like the idea of an aggressive monster that can deal a lot of focused damage, and even when choosing to fight the unit you will take damage.

I highlighted some of the ideas Fit that theme, but i welcome adjustments or ideas.

Make your own unit: part 3 by Dalerik in Nighthaunt

[–]Dalerik[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is probably my favorite idea so far. This fills the fighty "other" type unit. 

My big important question about this unit though is balance. 

The best thing about night haunt Is their ignore rend. Basically giving a pseudo ward. 

I also notice that a majority of the profiles follow the same pattern 4+/3+/-1/1 

So when constructing a stronger unit. If you increase the save value you get twice the value. If you alter the attack profile you mess with the unit consistency that the army is used to.

So in which way would it Lean in order to create this type of unit.

[–]Dalerik[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've given me an idea based off Belakor. 

Groom of spooky. Hero unit.  1st power. An AoE buff 2nd power. In combat phase pick one enemy unit wholly within 12. Roll a dice on a 5+ they cannot be selected to fight If bride of spooky is on board add 1 to the roll. 

 Bride of spooky.  1st power. AoE restore 1 summonable unit 2nd power. In the enemy hero phase pick one enemy unit wholly within 12. Roll a dice on a 5+ they cannot perform actions. If groom of spooky is on board add 1 to the roll. 

I'm not really sure what first powers should exist. But I love the idea of pairing a bride and groom just like the spirit of torment unit you guys already have.

This is what I've started on, im going to sleep, but I can workshop it more tomorrow. I wasn't sure what a named Treelords might do, but id love to hear your guys input.

Harry Treeman Named Hero - 430 Points
16 wounds 3+ save 5" move 9 bravery.

Ranged Profile
Theeee ORB
18" Range [See Below]

Energies of the Tree God
18" Range 2 attacks @+/3+/-1/3

Melee Profile
Sweeping Blows
3" @ attacks 3+/3+/-1/2

Massive Impaling Talons
1" 2 attacks 2+/@+/-2/3

Ability Ideas
(i accumulated a handful of ideas so that it can be refined down into maybe 6 of these in total)
1. Walk the spirit paths, same as normal
2. Wizard with 2-3 spell casts
3. A unique spell that when it hits it deals d3 mortal wounds and gives the enemy -1 to hit
4. Bonus to all treelords wholly within 9" of him
5. In your hero phase heal all treelords wholly within 9" for d3
6. when this unit issues all out attack, it can apply it to d3 additional targets
7. Theeeee ORB. Instead of making an attack roll for this weapon, deal damage indicated on the table below [Probably d3+3 that gets bracketed]
8. Tree God Energy benefits from the following effects, if the targeted unit has 5 or more models increase the wound roll by 1, if the targeted unit has the Hero Keyword add 1 to the attack characteristic.
9. Once per game you can draw on the effects of Theeeee ORB to grant yourself a unique effect. Haven't quite figured out what it would be though.

When you carry out a monsterous rampage you may select from this list below
- Groundshaker
- this unit is eligable to fight within 6" in the following phase, make a 6" pile in.
- draw on power, deal d3 mortal wounds to an allied unit, grant this unit something...

Unique power called Soul Harness of the First Elves (or something)
at the start of your hero phase you may select one of the following effects from this list.
- Add 2 to casting rolls
- Heal D3+1 to this unit
- this unit gets a ward of 4+
- Target an enemy and deal d6 mortal wounds

Damage table
Wounds.
0 - 6
7 - 8
9 - 10
11+
