The next 3 custom units of the C3V have been released. Can we get a round of applause? No? Okay then, I'll just start on the customs.
Our first entry today, representing that evil new general Valkrill, is the rotting, smelly, swarmy, undead Preyblood Thrall!!
He stinks, very badly. And let me tell you what is fun about this guy if you decided to chuck him in your army. His Mindless Pack ability looks like it has be designed to make him something similar to the Zombies of Morindan, except with more basic attack power and the lack of a swarm. That Blood Hunger is also a nice touch. Unlike the Zombies, these Thralls are most certainly all about attacking!
A neat concept would be to mix and match Zombies and Thralls.
Preyblood Thrall (6 of them)
Zombies of Morindan (5 teams)
Marcu Esenwein
Talk about tons of rotting flesh! You can use the Zombies to tear apart the squad figures and then use the good old Thralls to clear away those thing we call heroes. With the masses of Zombies, Marcu's flying is actually a good complement so he can find a good glyph or a perch.
If I were to give these guys a Power rating, I would say...C or a C+. Sure the DnD wave brought us lots of new hero options, but range just tears these guys apart too easily

The bloodline of a Vampire is vast. The Esenwein family is no exception.
Quite the interesting counterpart to Cyprien, Nicholas has powers similar to him and yet feels more dangerous. Nicky seems to have many HeroScape figures mashed into him. Firstly, he has the obvious "Life Drain" that vampiric families rely on. That somehow gets mashed into the "Zombies Rise Again" power to create Bloodborn Rising. Aside from the obvious chance at healing Nicky a little bit, Squad figures essentially become Cyber-Clawed. That power is Squad Bane.
"Nightmare on Scape Street" will finally be had if we decided to send our enemies reeling. Long unlive the Undead!!
Nicholas Esenwein
Sujoah
Preyblood Thall(3 of them)
Fyorlag Spiders(2 squads)
Sure this army mixes the two last generals into the battle mix, but ironically using Sujoah to weaken heroes for the Preybloods to kill or Nicholas to revive dropped Preybloods might actually work. The Spiders will be helpful for the extra turns and glyph grabbing. If you ever do get a web going too, your opponent will be in some serious trouble.
A power ranking I would think that will fit him: B. Cyprien can do pretty much everything Nicky can, but better. Well worth the 10 points.

To destroy the enemy, you must become the enemy. And when you become the enemy, you destroy your friends.
Meet Van Nessing. It is as simple as this, he doesn't take any crap whatsoever. If you are a Werewolf in disguise or are just unholy, this guy will blast the crap out of you. Even if you aren't bad per se, he will still blast the crap out of you. I see Van Nessing as a great example of a counterdraft figure. Two-thirds of his powers are about anti-unholy goodness. The Divine Mission power seems to be more about a converted version of Overextend Attack, but instead of him getting hurt, you lost some of your tactical advantage. Even if nothing else, I would like to say this guy is a great homeage to Craig Van Nessing(aka one of the founders of HeroScape).
Other people have made good army ideas to use with him, but I think he doesn't have a specific army. Instead I would like to think he is similar to Sgt. Drake Alexander or Atlaga the Kyrie Warrior: he works well in a set army, but he fits in everywhere.
The Power Ranking I would give him? B to a B+. Great versus wolves and vampires, but decent verses everything else.
Scape on everybody. Cheers!
