One more quick piece of desktop artwork for your enjoyment – this time it’s the Horse, prancing through showers of flower blossoms without a care in the world. He’s a little more life-affirming than you may have come to expect from BrikWars art, but his passenger is much more in line with the usual fare. The horse and the gryphon rider painting from the last post are the subjects of two cards for the upcoming Horses chapter. The Horse is a new unit, while the Rider is just an alternate version of the Pilot with whom you’re all already familiar.

I got a surprise package from Hong Kong last week – Red Bean (from the Minifig Customization Network and BrickForge) sent a custom minifig of the night elf pictured on BrikWars’ Scout card. Sweet! So I’ve dressed her up nice with a Dementor cloak and a BrickForge longbow and snapped a photo for a Scout card alternate version.

Ninjas got you down? The Scout unit has an uncanny knack for spotting traps, hazards, and Stealthy opponents – as well as performing targeting support to help your ranged units take down tricky foes. Sorry the stat cards are coming out so slowly – I’m not suffering from any lack of unit ideas (there are still plenty of classics from the 2001 roster to burn through, for instance), it’s a matter of finding time in the schedule to do the artwork. I haven’t solved that little problem just yet, but I luckily just found an old illustration of a Dusk Elf lying around on my hard drive that makes a nice portrait for the new Scout card.

In preparation for a battle based on LEGO’s “Knights’ Kingdom™” sets, I’ve drawn up a couple of quick stat cards for the four heroes and added them to the Supplements page. Depending on how the battle goes, other characters from the Knights storyline may be on the way.

Ever since I saw my first Fleebnork, many terrifying years ago, I’ve wanted to make official BrikWars stats for it. But until I got these stat cards going, I didn’t have a good medium with which to deliver them. So I’ve added a section for Unit Stat Cards to the Downloads page – you can find Fleebnorks along with BrikWars’ more usual combatants summarized in card form there. There are blank cards and Photoshop templates as well, so players can make up whatever new units they like. Since the Fleebnork art looks so nice, I’ve put it up as a desktop graphic as well.
