After talking with Smithmeg and DTAD a bit, we've got enough data for some Projected Stats on the Warpriest of Vandria. These are not official, confirmed stats. But I believe these aren't very far off, either.

Assuming the build is an Elf (Vandria is a racial deity), with Fighter 2/Cleric 5 (Searing Light helps us determine this)/Warpriest 3 (We can assume this due to the Mass CLW) being the class distribution. It fits the printed stats, including the +11/+6 melee attack if we assume an Str of 14 (sensible) and a +1 weapon being used (also sensible). DTAD suggests it could be Ranger 2 instead of Fighter 2 "because he's probably an elf", but this doesn't throw off our numbers very much. Could be possible.

Warpriest of Vandria - Projected Stats (40 Points)

Chaotic Good
Commander 4

Level: 10
Speed: 6 (or 4)
AC: 17 (Could be anywhere in the 16 to 20 range)
HP: 55

Type: Elf

Melee Attack: +11/+6 (10 Magic)
Ranged Attack: None (Wouldn't be printed on card. This is for completeness' sake.)

Commander Effect: Followers that have a ranged attack gain Sidestep.

Special Abilities:

Sidestep
Single Combatant (This creature gains +4 AC when adjacent to only one enemy)

Spells:

Mass Cure Light Wounds ( ) (Your Warband; Heal 5 HP)

Searing Light ( ) (Sight; 10 Damage, or 20 against Undead)

Cat's Grace ( ) (Touch; Target Creature gains +2 AC and +2 Ranged Attack)

There may be additional castings of Searing Light or Cat's Grace, but I'm unsure. Either way, the above is a fairly good mock-up of what he'll look like, I think.

"Followers with a ranged attack gain Sidestep".

Awes. That's been on my mind grapes for years.....

I taste the sweet vindication of bleating endlessly for something while the designers, in an undoubtedly unrelated fashion, implement it! huzzah!!

HAWT!!!

I think I see another Runelord repaint coming....

Hell Yeah - this may be the first icon I get three of - one to have, one to paint, and one to save for posterity.....

Oh look, pictures. Nice, very nice. I eally like the new pose on Drizzt.

What, there was text as well? Bah!

The only scan pic I see is the Frost Giant and others. Is there one of Drizzt?

Commander Effect: Followers that have a ranged attack gain Sidestep.

This may be the only important stat.

True. Dusting off my HEBI as I type...

Try the Storm Archer while you're at it? 10 points less, same maximum damage output. Slightly less accurate, admittedly less durable...but certainly worth the 10 point discount. Though admittedly, if anything's going to restore HEBI to its old prominence, this command effect'll be the one to do it.

Pfft. Try again, Chris.

Bralani Eladrin, perhaps?

1. Get a Warpriest of Vandria.
2. Use Regdar, Adventurer to pull over Ulmo.
3. Get sidestepping ;)

Thanks for posting the pics, Kev. This is an exciting preview (much more so than Wednesday's, in my opinion).

There is a link on page 2 for the pictures of Drizzt and Co.

Great news!

Thanks for the scans...

Hmmmm...Medusa...

Ah ha! There's a link. I should probably look at every post the next time, and not be so lazy :P. Thanks! I don't know if I like the new sculpt right now, but I probably will when I see it in person. Icingdeath looks to be the best Iconic Dragon yet.

Xendrik Champions.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm glad I hung on to all 6 even after the slight disappointment of trying to run them all with the Cleric of Sune.

Xendrik Champions.

Yeah.. too bad Storm having countersong which she doesnt need totally shuts it down.... *stupid Storm*

Do you know how fast the Xendrik Champions can down a Storm? Storm isn't the best answer to these versatile damage dealers...
