Angelfire preview I - Hezrou and Sword Archon

The moment we've been waiting for, the first preview of the Angelfire figures: Outsider Command.



Of note:
Sword Archon: LG, commander, Fearless Wings (Followers with Fearless gain melee damage +5) commander effect; Discorporating Dive (If this creature charges and damages an evil Outsider, destroy that creature; DC 17); DR; Flight.

Hezrou: CE, commander, Demonmaster 10; Stench.

The next preview will be Lawful Steel.

Comments:

The Sword Archon besides being a Large it has Melee Reach 2 if you read between the lines. "the Sword Archon's one big attack is pretty much guaranteed to hit the Hezrou, even if the Hezrou manages to get adjacent so that its Stench ability cuts down on the Archon's attack". The fact that they are mentioning "even if the Hezrou manages to get adjacent" means it was able to hit it before he got adjacent.

Could you do that thing where you scale the images to make them the same size? That would be loverly...

Mm well that's cool. A commander with Melee reach for LG. Not a bad start.

What I like is the fact NOW you have a CE commander that can effectively use some of the more difficult but also powerful creatures much more effectively.
