As I bought 2 Core sets (and I'm likely to get 2 copies of the Latari and Uthuk Y'llan Starter Armies when they come out) I'll end up with 2 copies of each of the characters.
So, what to do with these extras?
I could keep them as spares but rather than do this I thought I'd indulge in a part of the wargaming hobby that I really enjoy; designing my own cards and units.
At the moment I have 2 dials and 2 hero/monster bases.
It should be easy enough to print out new artwork for the dials for the units I design but as the bases are Hero/Monster the units would need to be large models.
So I started to look around for possible units that fit with the Lore of Terrinoth. Where better to start than with Descent.
Searching through the Monsters and Heroes Expansions I found this:

The pack has 2 Trolls, 2 Ogres and 2 Manticores each of which could be made into a small 2 base mercenary unit. In addition the Human heros could be used as extra Champion models in units.
I know the scale is slightly smaller but for the Monsters that shouldn't matter as they should still be bigger than standard troops. As for the heroes....well not everyone is 6'.
Thoughts?
