Moonstone: Gump

Twelve energy pips is a great deal of model for one purchase. Gump is a single 40mm Treefolk Spirit for the Leshavult, and at twelve pips with twelve health boxes he is among the most substantial individual sculpts the faction can put on a table.

The profile is not only bulk. Two inches of melee reach at a melee value of 3, an arcane value of 4, and an evade value of plus two, so he is awkward to pin down as well as slow to remove. That pairing is unusual: most things in this game that are hard to kill are easy to avoid, and he is neither.

A troupe here runs to around four models, which makes one big body a serious share of a force rather than a side purchase. Committing that much of your list to a single sculpt changes how you play the card duels that decide the game. You get fewer activations, so each has to earn its keep, and your opponent knows exactly where the pressure is coming from. Some players find that clarifying. Others would rather spread the risk across three smaller profiles.

Supplied with a stat card and base, cast in fine quality resin, multipart and needing assembly.
