Drafting to Drifting

Today is when I reveal the next custom for Master Set 5. And as the title suggests, they'll be drafted. But then they drift. Presenting the Saber Cruisers.



Overall, they are pretty powerful, and they can be dangerously mobile on any type of map. During the design phase, I was considering doing some sort of power that could inflict extra wounds. I also considered adding in Reach. In the end, I settled on a defense dropping power. For those who think that they originated from a bunch of random Lego's put together, you would be right. As for their lack of height and any sort of size modifier (Climb or Scale), I assumed they would be too unable to move vertically (well, upwards at least) due to their body structure.



As you can tell, their best defense is offense. Any sort of attack will likely punch through them. As such, a decent army could be....

Raelin (Swarm of the Marro)
Goldenseed (at 80 points)
4 teams of Saber Cruisers
Syvarris

Hit hard, and stay within the protective energies of Raelin's aura. Simple, but effective.

Stay in the game, stay in the game, and stay in the game. Later.
