The Book of White Ape

The Book of White Ape
Bangerang
Mini Expansion 1 - Martian Conquest


The figure used for this unit is Fiendish Girallon #47 from D&D: War Drums.




MULTI-ARMED
When this White Ape attacks, it may attack up to 4 times. It cannot attack the same figure more than once.

 


-Rulings and Clarifications-
Q. How the heck do "Uncommon Heroes" work? Is there a limit on how many I may draft into my army? Do I need a card for each one in my army? How do I tell each White Ape apart from the others?
A: Uncommon Figures: Each Army may have any number of an Uncommon Army Card with the same name. If your army has two or more of the same Uncommon Army Card, you must keep those figures separate (that is, keep track of which figure belongs to which card). For example, if you are using two White Apes, you must clearly mark each White Ape figure and a matching White Ape Army Card so you can tell which White Ape is being activated by which Order Markers and which Wound Markers belong to which White Ape. Uncommon figures are considered to be Unique figures in every other way.

Q. Uncommon Heroes: Shackling and Devouring:
Can an Uncommon Hero be Mindshackled/Soul-Devour-ed even if the an Uncommon Hero with the same army card is already part of my army?
A. Yes. Uncommon Heroes are treated like Unique Heroes in every way, EXCEPT that multiples may be drafted in one army. This exception allows Uncommon Heroes to be Mindshackled or Soul Devour-ed even if an Uncommon Hero with the same card is already a part of your army.

UPDATE

It has been a very busy year for me and I haven't been able to spend a lot of time on my hobbies. But I do have a few more customs that are ready to be released so I wanted to get them posted. I have been working on these units for some time with my good friend Tyrel (aka Tiranx on Heroscapers.com). So to do this I will be releasing a mini expansion with these units:

Mini Expansion 1: Martian Conquest
Tars Tarkas
Tal Tomal
John Carter
Thark Hunter
White Ape


Tyrel gave me the inspiration for the Tharks and he designed John Carter and the White Ape. If you haven't guessed these are all based on the fictional story of John Carter. They are a fun faction and give Aquilla some more Tribesmen to work with.

Here is a preview picture of the Thark Units.


Also, I received my copy of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shadows of the Past Board Game. I plan on doing a review of the minis here and possibly doing a painting of the miniatures post on my other blog. Stay tuned. Heroclix TMNT minis are really pretty nice. I picked up a few to use and will show them off in the Shadows of the Past Board Game review for scale comparison.
