There is a lot of Insect creatures out there.
Giant Wolf Spider, Tartaree, Ichterlid and from promos Lightning Beetle and Deaths Head Scorpion but still no Insect oriented mage. I know it is just a matter of time and my imagination is still puting a "Shaman mage" as an answer to my Insect questions but i would like to speculate here what kind of traits he/she or both alternatives will posses. Insect/Swarms build is my first option when i speculate here. Also Insect >> Zombie and i love Egg mechanic from Ichterlid so maybe a "hurry, i must kill my own creature before "IT" will hatch!" will be added.
This could be fun. When "hive queen" damages opponents creature, put a token on enemy creature. Each upkeep phase, that creatrue owner roll a d12 dice. If roll correctly, creature is destroyed and a "hive slave" creature is putted into play. This works only on level 1-2 creatures.
