Armor Symbol:

Armors can not be assigned a resource.
Armors can not be given an action unless they have a pilot or AUTOPILOT.
As long as this Armor has no pilot, adjacent friendly standard characters have “POWER: Become this Armor's pilot.” Pilots are removed from the map and placed on the Armor’s HeroClix card. A character is only a pilot as long as it’s on the Armor’s card due to an action that made it the pilot.
If an Armor has a pilot, it has “POWER: Place the pilot adjacent.”
Armor modify their Attack +1, if the printed attack value of the pilot is higher than the Armor's printed attack value.
When an Armor is KO’d, place the pilot in or adjacent to its square and roll a d6.
1-3 : Deal the pilot 2 unavoidable damage.
4-6 : Deal the pilot 1 unavoidable damage.

Wow you were a busy bee since my last reviews!

Micheal O'Brien: Nice support piece that brings a great TA to an Armor. The full dial of Enhancement will surely be greatly appreciated in this set as will the PD TA.

Guardsman: Great dial for a cheap cost, very durable, effective, and highly mobile with the traited Sidestep. However I feel like he might be a little bit undercosted, 35 pts seems like too little to be paying for a figure with Top dial Invulnerability, especially considering Micheal isn't nearly as tough for only 5 points less, I feel like it should be costed more along the lines of 45 points. Still a great design though, these guys would be good in a swarm.

Kevin O'Brien: Another good, economical support piece and pilot for the Guardian armor, the Willpower and +1 attack boost will serve it well, and the -3 defense against MC is a nice nerf to keep it in check.

Nimrod: I like this version of Nimrod much better then the one from DFP, he's powerful without being quite as broken as the other one. The adaptive defense trait is such a good idea, especially for this character, and the D6 roll was a clever way to work the healing, making sure that he won't have too much healing ability when on his early clicks.

I'll double check my math on Guardsman armor. The pricing is so wonky on the armors anyway. Since they can't take actions without a pilot, I priced them as I would vehicles - which means they get a huge discount on cost. It makes all of them seem undercosted to me, but I thought I'd wait for feedback and adjust as needed. It might be I'm giving them too big a discount.

I'm glad you like the Nimrod design. He's a character I've always liked. X-Men #194 and #208-9 where they fight Nimrod are some of my favorites. I'm such a fanboy that the first version was like 300+ points and oversaturated with powers and special effects. He still is a little bogged down, but I did a lot of trimming before I posted him... and he's probably still over-powered

Anyway, thanks again for the comments.

I thought the Armors had an Autopilot mode? If that's not the case I can see why you give the Armors a discount, I still feel the Guardsman is just a smidgen too cheap, but I can see why you made them that way if they don't get an Autopilot option.

Don't know why you haven't gotten much feedback this time around, I think this has been a great set and I really think your Armor idea is cool and creative.

Yeah, the armors are like vehicles, so unless they have the AUTOPILOT keyphrase specifically mentioned on their card, they can't take actions on their own. After looking at him again I think you're right, 35 is too low. 40 is probably closer to what he should be.

I think maybe many of the guys that use to comment on my sets don't spend as much time perusing the Creative Corner or even HCRealms anymore.

It could be the name of the set. The working title was Armor Wars, but since there was already a set out there named that, I wanted to avoid confusion. Baron suggested Iron Man's Armor Adventures, which is a good name, but I stupidly forgot the Iron Man part and without any marquee characters in the title, it might be overlooked.

Also, the set is kind of mismatched in that it is really made from two partially completed sets. I had the armor idea, so I was working off that, but then I had an aborted FF set. Since it had some designs I liked, I decided to use it to fill out the sub-themes.

Oh well, for whatever the reason, it's no big deal. I'm grateful that I get any feedback at all.

Mandroid: This would make for a great update to the older Mandroid figures. You did a great job of incorporating the multiple dials on this one and I love the trait that lets them switch to another dial, it helps gives them some cool versatility that most cheap generics wouldn't have.

Air-Walker: What a unique and inventive design. I like the limited pick-a-power trait and the Cape marker power, he really seems like he would make a fun figure to play, I think his speed could have been just a bit higher to take advantage of his speed power though.

Gardener: Is it just me or does he look like the Highfather? Anyway, I like the dial, giving his allies

movement hindering is extremely useful, especially for a lot of speedsters, and I love the super Incap power. I'm surprised you didn't give him any kind of free Smoke Cloud but I guess his other powers pretty much cover that.

Thank you. I recently reread FF #120-123, perhaps my favorite story arc in all of comics, so I was inspired when I made this guy.

On his speed power, I thought with him doubling the power, anything higher might be too much. Maybe I could bump it up to 10 so he could move 20 squares with his incap-like power.

Quote

Gardener: Is it just me or does he look like the Highfather? Anyway, I like the dial, giving his allies

It is not just you. I wouldn't be surprised if Gardener was a 'homage' to highfather, based on Gardener's first appearance. I really had a hard time with this guy, since most of his early appearances, his powers seem to be focused on the Soul Gem he wears. So I had to ad lib a bit pulling out what he can do vs the power he got from the ill-defined gem.

One thing, I think you misread the power. Other character can not use Improved move ignore hindering. It's all part of his loving plants more than creatures thing. Kind of a 'get off my lawn' effect. It does effect his allies though, which was part of me trying to keep his cost down.

I knew with him being a principally an Incap figure, he'd need a modest cost for people to want to field him. In some ways, I feel like I failed in that he's probably costed about right, if not undercosted for what he does, but costs too much for what you get... if that makes sense.

That's why he didn't get the colossal stamina trait the other Elders have had so far. Instead I gave him the 'deal with death' stop click. It felt like a good way to keep his dial short, yet represent his inability to be taken out.

It's funny you mention smoke cloud, because he had it at one point. And poison. When I was done, I realized he looked like an overpriced ripoff of Poison Ivy - so I tried to change it up somewhat.

Anyway, as always the feedback is appreciated.

Ah your right! I did misread the power, my bad

. I like making characters NOT be able to use the Improved Movement much better, I knew it seemed a bit weird for him to give it to people.

I get what you mean about thinking he might not be a figure everyone wants to use, but not every piece has to be. There's nothing wrong with a dial that's just fun to play and character accurate. It's a solid dial, that seems properly costed.
