"Finally, I hit something!" "Alright, Leorry, Darkness, Back Row, and then Davril, Darkness, Back Row. Same Battle Order!"
"I'll take Onager D from the back row with Light. I don't feel like falling to my death!"
Althior watches from a distance as Arthur and Lewis retreat into the fortress. "Cowards," he thought to himself. He would need to teach Arthur ways to become a real man and not to run away from danger. Did he run away when he came across Porthiar? No. Or how about the Orc and centaur? Never. Did it even cross his mind to retreat? Not in a thousand years. His philosophy, if you come to Heroica, you never run from a fight.
"Xander, get up to Leorry!" Althior is real pissed that he got a bad cup of Nostrum () and he fires a Darkness Spell at Lord Davril (hopefully hitting him this round) and Elite D with Darkness, both from the Back Row. Luke takes Engineer C from the Back Row with Light.
This is without a shadow of a doubt my favorite set of the line. This suit is much more versatile than the triangle one, as you said, and Thor is just.
Now holding two of the sets in my hands, I must say I'm very impressed with these minifigs! The prints and plastic are top notch quality and aver fig is very detailed. TLG gets a from me so far for this wave.
Exactly my thought on Question #2. I definitely prefer Classic Castle over LotR because it gave you more chance to explore and be creative, where in LotR everything is based off something. Classic Castle wins, no doubt about it.
The hastened effect starts getting to Althior as he screams, "Same battle order!" He then fires a Darkness spell at Davril from the back row and a Lightning Spell at Onager D from the back row. Luke fires a Light Spell at Elite E from the back row.
I can't say for sure as of now, but I'd probably go with Wolverine. Great figs and vehicle, plus Dark Red! Tomorrow I should have all three in which case I'll say which ones the best of them.
