NAGA BROODQUEEN
Ok, more cool stuff for today. Naga is another 5
drop to add to Valor's strongest spot. They
already have the Scout and the two Knights from
the base set, and now we get a 5 drop with KoT's
stats. So skip to the effect, so reader's
skimming my review will see if he's better than
the Skirmish Knight. Rush is Double Blade, which
Valor isn't really suited for. However, being
able to more multiple characters from one cell
to another is very nice. Plus, there is no
restriction regarding the enemy on the piece,
meaning it essentially can act as alot of
Skirmishs or alot of Advances. IMO, this guy
needs to be splashed, and preferably with
Passion with or without Bloodcut.
Constructed - 3.5/5 - Use in Bloodcut style
warbands. The other 5 drops are better for other
Valor based bands althought he could be better
than KoS&J for some warbands.
Sealed - 3.5/5 - Same rating, as you will
probably end up splashing him with guys with
alot of power.
Artwork - 3/5 - Its cool, nothing more

Naga Broodqueen
Quite possibly the most favored of the pieces we
are doing this week, Scaley here has one of the
best movement abilities this side of Haste
Gambit 2 or Multiblade Advance.
Stats are... meh, to be honest. 5V should get
you 3 power, IMHO, but 7|8 D&L is great. No
competition for the slot from Baxar's War, but
the Base Set does have a few pieces that you'll
need to consider (Twilight Scout, Knight of
Tomorrow), so some thinking may need to be done.
But not much. Naga's rivals for the 5 spot only
affect one ally. Naga Broodqueen's affects an
entire cell. Under the right circumstances, it
is 4 skirmishes OR advances for the price of 2,
and there aren't any stipulations about those
allies needing to be engaged or not. Yes, it's a
double blade, so it is very unlikely she'll be
setting it off on her own, but there are plenty
of pieces that will help you Rush on. Clawclan
Scout, Virtuous Maiden, and Zungar Blademaster
are all on a first name basis with this Queen,
and those are just the weenies.
Constructed: 4/5 Rush is good. Accept that and
live happily.
Limited: 4/5 Rush is still good. It always will
be.

Naga BroodQueen
Today we have Fleshworm broodshire's much nicer
counter-part *at least
sculp/flavor/name
wise* Naga BroodQueen.
First, cost: 5V
then power: 2
and defence: 7
and finnaly life: 8
thats, in all actuallity, a good amount of stats
for 5V. 7/8 life is nice,
even if you have only 2 power. And then theirs
the double-blade ability: Rush.
Its an EXCELENT ability, for two blades, you
could *potentionally* move 4
figs one cell.I love it.
limited: 5/5 *movement is great for limited, and
the life/defence and spawn
cost is also good*
constructed: 4/5 *i think its that good :-)*
sculpt: 3.75/5 *pretty cool :-)*
i just relized i used two smileys in two
sentances :-)
*their I go again*
