IMPACT! MINIATURES

Well, of course. Impact is a business and I don't expect any business goes out of its way to lose money.

That being said, I doubt I'll be able to make anything good enough. I'm just tempted to give it a shot.

actually having Norses imput would be great. we want it to be of Impact's high standard, if the sculpt isn't good enough then we try again till it is.

which reminds me, Ceph what player are you going to sculpt? i was thinking of trying one and don't want to end up doing the same as you lol

I was thinking about an octopus thrower. Seemed like a good place to start.

Wouldn't an Octopus make a better catcher? I would make the Dolphin or the seal the thrower, with ball balanced on his nose. Just my 2 cents.

Kraken I could go for, definitely.

Perhaps an Orca defender to get a whale in there? Or just skip the whale and go for a dolphin somewhere?

Can these be coded into the flop client too, if we get icons made for them!v

I think before any putting into Flop or Targeted sculpting begins ... you guys really need to come up with a team you all agree on (and then that I agree on).

Keep in mind ... the team should offer up something different from the other teams already in the game. Part of why I stopped with the teams in the rulebook is because I felt like they covered a good range of team types.

If you come up with a roster that I like ... I'm not opposed to adding this in ... if I do that ... I'll probably move the map to the back page of the rulebook and then move the Oceanic, Orc, and Ratmen teams into the core listing (so there would be no optional teams).

But ... I need a team that offers something different other than models.

I am picturing the team as slow but skilled and good with tackling, but maybe not overly strong. Not sure on stat lines/uniqueness of this team yet...

I've been mulling over the stats etc. i think what we can take from real ocean creatures is big and strong (orca etc) and fast hunters (sharks). so on that basis i was thinking of a team with a good defence line and strong hunters, but weak or at the most average in other areas. again having a thrower is an issue. while an octopus thrower would look good, IMo it wouldn't really fit the theme.

here is what i have so far, but this is only my opinion.

0-1 kraken (monster)
0-4 defenders
0-4 hunters
0-3 midfielders

kraken: J=4 M=5 T=4 D=2 S=1 G=5
defender: J=5 M=4 T=4 D=2 S=2 G=4
hunter: J=6 M=3 T=4 D=3 S=2 G=3
midfielder: J=6 M=3 T=3 D=3 S=3 G=3

essencially i see this as a very strong team, but are not good at catching the ball. afterall they are literally fish out of water. they are good tacklers but their low skill forces them to run the ball.

i realise that this setup is similar to the sarcos team, but i was concentrating on the defense and hunter aspects. hopefully when i get around to testing this setup it will feel and play differently to the sarcos team, and open up some different tactics.

anyway that's my take on it, and don't worry Galak, i think we are months and months away from being ready to officially suggest the oceanic team.

as i said, this is still a work in progress so any and all opinions are welcome
