The day I got the BD set I brought An Atlantis team to go with him. Aquaman BD, Namor SI, atlantean warriors x3, aqualad = 400 points modern

[quote=anonym0use;5099577- Charge is no stranger to the Fisher King, .[/QUOTE]

But unlike the Fisher King, this Aquaman is far from Lame.
Otherwise great write-up

Agree!

I still like the HT sculpt of Aquaman.
Aquaman was so badass at that time...

Still is!

41 points for this? I'll take two!

Curses! Foiled again!
Well, its rare we play with feats, anyway. And I still love the piece.

Quoted for it's Anti-cheesey flavor.

Give them an ATA like checkmate for Atlantis Keyword.

Why not?

Ugh. Personally, I am VERY happy that Shellhead does NOT work with Indomitable. Sure Power Cosmic figures get a free ride (although very few of them have a full dial of damage reducers), but over all I like the element of sacrifice that is required for the feat. I believe that was the intended *spirit* of the card.

Besides, is there a reason to especially want Shellhead to work with Indomitable that isn't just for utterly cheesy *cough*thorloki*cough* reasons?

I think it is a fine house rule, but speaking as a judge, for official games, it is disingenuous to make ruling based on what you believe the intended spirit to be. Got to go by what's printed in black and white on the card.

Still a great sculpt and one of the ones I point to whenever someone starts talking about the supposed "bad quality" that was prevalent at the time.

I popped one of my Hypertime sculpts off and put it on the base of an E Icons Aquaman (who was specifically designed to represent that time in the character's history). Slap Submerged on him and, on a watery map, he's still a pretty solid piece.

Now I want to go do a "history of Aquaman" team.

There absolutely is...

Ms. Marvel (Human)
BN Wonder Woman
Solomon Grundy
Sabbac

Now if putting Shellhead on those four seem like cheese to you, then we clearly have different opinions on what constitutes cheese. Heck, even Thor & Loki aren't cheesy until you load them up with 40 points of feats.

I love the article, however I really do not want to see a Aquaman who can go toe to toe with Namor, since Namor is almost always written at a much higher power level than Aquaman is, and tempest at that time had some mystical element to him as well which I feel adds to his power level.

Additionally, he can't use Lunge to break away and use Move and Attack. He loses use of HSS if he starts adjacent to an enemy, and the Lunge movement is immediately before the attack. That is, as soon as he moves the 2 squares, he has to make the attack.

Tempest with Submerged still works as a good blocker for BD Aquaman, and Lunge still works to extend his effective HSS speed.

I had GREAT success using the Atlantean Warriors. Normally, they're just easy 1- or 2-hit KOs for the enemy. Now enemies are much less trigger-happy on them, making them very effective tie-up pieces. Their Toughness makes me recommend them a bit more than Aqualad.

Definitely a dink move. But no more than AP + Energy Explosion, and you are giving up points to use this maneuver, after all.

Glad you got that in quotes, because true classic costume Aquaman had a much wider neckline than the current one.

Not so. Amazingly, no Aquaman had Charge until Justice League.

Mmm. In a one-on-one, BD Aquaman KOs Tempest in two moves — even if Tempest gets first attack.

As much flak as the JL common gets AND his lack of a keyword......he really works well, even moreso with all the new water terrain maps we've been getting.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this Aquaman and played him to good effect last night at 500 points (Atlantis Keyword). One of my favorite figures of all time is E Black Knight, and this figure plays a lot like him. He doesn't have EW, but SS/CCE is a reasonable substitute. I almost felt like he was too good for 105. CP and Tempest's Perplex kept him moving and shaking all game.

FWIW, the tentacle looks great in purple. Who ever heard of a green tentacle anyway? Sheesh.

Excellent write-up, BTW.

cosmic spiderman. one of the players at MY venue decided to be cheap and use him with a TT robin, and a batman ally robin... 400 point team.

and i got laguhed at because i DECIDED nto to use him like a ##### on any level, just utilizing his power cosmic, and high AV, DV, and imperv.

Awesome version of Aquaman that I will play on a regular basis. Finally some good Arthur Curry love!
