![]() However, the most frightening of Elien’s troops is the Harbinger. His Warrior has a chance of leaping over to a friendly unit after attacking, and the Cultist gambles to wound himself and his target at the same time. Of course, Elien is accompanied by a few guards of his own. Political correctness isn’t a big concern out there, y’know? What did you expect? They’re mercenaries who live in a swamp. Oh, and the Swamp Mercenaries have taken to calling him the Undead Fairy-Princess. Now he’s immortal, has special ordered a pair of glowing green contacts to complement his new job, and can spend magic to improve his dice results. The much-maligned Prince Elien has apparently gotten so used to everyone hating him that he’s gone and allied with Ret-Talus of the Fallen Kingdom, the big bads of the Summoner Wars world. Meanwhile, Somerset is examining her own forces. Which, in a way, makes them the first sensible troop in this whole crazy war. They just run away to my discard pile instead. ![]() And my flanks are dominated by Swamp Rats, cowardly little fellas who can run away to one of my Walls after attacking, though their cowardice also means they won’t let me blast them for magic. Two Swordsmen make up my rearguard, though both are Slippery, able to move through other units. The Boarboon is most powerful right when he’s summoned, but he’s plenty tough otherwise. While his ranged attack makes it possible to create far-flung colonies of Vine Walls, it can still mean occasionally exposing him. Glurblub, on the other hand, is a bit more hands-on: he has to personally destroy an enemy unit to create a Vine Wall. As Mugglug, anyone who died next to a Swamp Orc Wall turned into a dreaded entangling Vine Wall, gradually planting summoning spots and protection for your units across the board. My summoner, Glurblub - whose name I hate typing with a fury similar to Glurblub’s hatred of soggy sandwiches - is a variation on the original Swamp Orc summoner Mugglug. ![]() This time, I’m working with the rough-and-tumble Swamp Mercenaries, a faction of sexy-muscly orcs, boarboons (boar and baboon merged through horrific and illegal genetic manipulation, one supposes), turtles, rats, and frogs.
