Jigsaw kicked butt for me (in sealed)!

Story time - I was in Stealth, Punisher had to get in close combat. Jigsaw and Punisher - face to face! He hits me for 2, I get Blades and +1 to my AV thanks to his Traits. I retaliate by slashing up Punisher! With Willpower I didn't even take pushing damage!

As all this was happening, I was giddy with thoughts of "Yes! This is why this is the best game ever!"

SI Captain Mar-Vell (not the Skrull)


Edit: Quake? eh it will work.

Finally played m game with Quake. She does pretty well, she helped me to take down a darkseid team when he was surrounded by minions. I hit all of his minions for 2 and gave the one penetrating to darkseid. But of course he reduced it. It was a cool game though and I will probably play her again soon.

Sure, but for a minimal investment, he could be useful. I have 3-4 of him just because he's cool!

Please, oh please, tell me that this goes to me and not neutralmarkhot! I've already got some great stories about him and Capture shenanigans...and have been plotting more! I have him at the cornerstone of 400, 500, and 1000+ point teams, just waiting for a chance to bust him out!

From what I'm seeing, Rorschach assigned Jigsaw to TheGoodReverend. Since NeutralMarkHot and TheGoodReverendJLang both have a figure, Captain Mar-Vell should go to Rorschachparadox.

Kreisler11 needs a suggestion: either CR Mary Marvel or CAP Quake

I wonder what I'll get...

I will suggest IH031 Daredevil. The Shadowland one, a rare from Incredible Hulk.


I played Floronic Man today. He was surprisingly useful. His 17 defense with barrier and smoke cloud for 4 straight clicks makes him very pushable. Unfortunately I played him in a game that only allowed figures 50 pts and under and there were not many people with move and attack or long ranges. So the smoke cloud helped a bit with some of my stealth figures and his barrier helped stop a poison team from basing me, but his damage special never came into play. Past that he really didn't do anything for me.

All in all he is an efficient smoke cloud and barrier piece whose main drawback is the short range for barrier. Easily pushable. As a barrier piece he is overshadowed by AIM Renegade, Sargon and DC 75th Ice, but has extra survivability due to regen and is easily pushable unlike the others.

As a smoke cloud piece, Darkstar is obviously the top, but is twice his point cost. Code Blue Officer is half his cost and provides smoke cloud, but that 8 marker smoke cloud comes in handy and there are not many other pieces currently Modern Age that have smoke cloud in general.

For reference I used him on this team:

Build
33 IH102 Major Glenn Talbot
40 CA201B Howling Commando
25 CA203B S.H.I.E.L.D. Field Agent
35 GX014 Roulette
38 WS024 Ben Reilly
26 WS035 J. Jonah Jameson
43 HA041 Molly Hayes
36 SI057 Jarvis
50 AN010 Johnny Quick
47 AA005 Floronic Man
22 SN005 SHIELD Sniper
5 GXS101 Crimson Gem of Cyttorak
400

The SHIELD buddies huddled together with Ben Reilly providing extra SHIELD help via WC. Jarvis pushed to outwit. Johnny Quick was my main attacker with SHIELD back-up and a Howling Commando back-up. Molly tried for the gem each game and failed. Rule was no figures could be over 50 pts, and feats/resource dials added to a figure's point cost for that rule.

First game was a random assortment of characters that had no discernable strategy that I could see. Took out a GC Detective that had the Gauntlet, and that was it because I played the guy who plays slow and only got like 4 turns. Floronic Man laid down 1 smoke cloud after getting into position.

Second game I faced a LAMP variation, with 8 poisoners and Abin Sur. Not everyone had armor piercing or mastermind, but he used 4 Vipers, Madame Masque, Ultimate Electro, V Poison Ivy, and 50 pt Blanka. This team gave me the most trouble but Floronic Man's barriers saved my SHIELD buddies from the GL poison tank.

Final game had a bunch of old X-Men with some random Hydra/AIM dudes. The Hydra dudes broke off and used their TA to take pot shots while IC Jean Grey was a TK cannon for her X -buddies. He missed lots of attacks and SHIELD Sniper was hitting for 4 with Johnny Quick HSS for up to 5 with all my perplex. Floronic Man used smoke cloud a few times but I didn't really need it.


Anyhow, I am ready for another figure.


EDIT

Extant, huh? Got him a long time ago and never used him. Was looking forward to using him when I pulled him and never got around to it. Might be a couple weeks, but I'll give him a whirl.

This looks fun.

For rowdy: bb037 Extant

Dunno' how I missed this thread, this is a fun idea. I'll toss out one of my (very) old favorites: V Controller from Infinity Challenge.

[Space reserved for Rocket Racer.]

Sorry it took so long to bring in my battle report, decided to wait til this past Monday for a tourney afterall.

Omega Prime Sentinel:

Omega Prime Sentinel X4
Karima w/ Camouflage and Alias
Roulette

400 pts even.

First round, I did very well and defeated a 300 pt Superman and other stuff. I knew his dial due to several games played, and exploited what I could. I make some very key shape change rolls, and took him down with less them a minute to spare, only losing 2 Primes.

Second round, I lost to the eventual winner. He had Cyborg Supes w/ the gauntlet w/ Power and Soul. Using E-1 Supes w/ Rip it up, he stayed top dial until finally I went down.

Third round, my dice went cold. However, I faced a Legion team with the new ATA. He took Superman Enemy and proceeded to annihilate my team. I also learned in this game that camouflage did not help against outwit. lol Shoulda known better. But, still he out played me.

Overall? I went 1-2 and won Fellowship and took home a One Ring. I am also still impressed they took down the 300 pt Supes further proving to me that he is not worth those pts. 150 on the other hand? That's another story.

And HH20? I'll throw you...

WOS Rocket Racer.

I am also open for another figure. (Ideally Marvel Only)


Tarot? Nice, been meaning to pull her out of the box again and give her a whirl. Coming soon!

Still need to rock Element Lad! Hope to do so this weekend!

Running this tomorrow for Leech:

Leech 35
Cyclops 110
Beast 95
Madrox 44
Mystique 86
Archangel 99
Jean Grey 31- She loses me keyword though.
500pts.

Finally updated my post on page 1 with the battle report, Hellfire was fun!!!

I suggest from the depths of my Marvel collection........TAROT from GSX!! She is one of my new favorite figs and I want to see how she does in someone else's hands.

I am ready for a new piece - preferably DC since I am burned out on Marvel!

EDIT: Gangbuster...meh. Just used a few of these guys on a Metropolis team. Just tied up and did a little damage but Supes, Eradicator, and Supergirl did most of the work. I can try some different teams if you want to see some candusima or if not and you had another figure in mind I'd use that. If you do suggest another fig, superman has been used a lot recently so DC75th and later maybe?

Dude, that's awesome. I have such a soft spot for some of those IC figs. Controller, Klaw, and Ultron or Nightmare are just fun.

For the person above me: How about Gangbuster?

I've got most of Modern Age that isn't SR or Colossal. Playing in a Golden Age 600 point tournament that must have a non-generic keyword. Anyone got someone to build around/with? (Also no duplicates unless it's a minion)

Im gonna have Quake for my figure, not daredevil
