This is for a possible upcoming tournament, 1000pts Golden Age only 50pts of feats allowed--No collosals. I am trying to get a feel for this team, as it feels a little weird running Sinestro Corps without my favorite member, Superman Prime.

But onto the the team, most the pieces are rocking a 11AV upfront(except Amon, but we'll get to that), 2 of which will benefit from the YL giving them 12+. I have SO much TK it is a little sickening, but this grants me EXTREME mobility.

Now, Amon sur may not look like much, but with a little help from Armor Piercing and Contingency plan modifier and POSSIBLY even a Sinestro negative DV perplex, and if I really wanted to get crazy 2 Lyssa's perplex, he could be shooting at +14(+3 on him, and -2 on enemy) with EE with AP. I was, am, considering putting Recharge on him as well, but that meant losing 1 feat since I am at an even 50 right now.

Sinestro may not have upfront move and attack, which is where TK comes in play. +13(or more with PP) for 4(or more with PP) on a brick, and his Protected gives him the protection he needs on that first click and the push he needs to land on Impervious.

Mongul's Leadership is great, the ability to remove tokens will be big, I have some team probability control IF I roll a 1, and his Leadership normally is big too with Contingency Plan. Depending on the game and how much more damage I require, he can sit safe away in Hindering popping off shots, or be up front with Arkillo, Sinestro, Amon, and Batman.

Batman is Batman. Effective. With Stunning Blow and giving tokens to 2 people, and either spreading damage out or dropping 4 on one guy. His is my only upfront source of Outwit, which concerns me a little. But to be honest, if Sinestro, Mongul, Arkillo, and Amon are shooting people in plane site, going after Batman behind them seems like a large gamble.

Arkillo, he runs up and flurries people with a heavy. Ties the rest up. When he is hit, he lands on Steal Energy, the fun doesn't stop.

Drak is pure Support. Phasing, TK, PP, Barrier. I was considering dropping a Brilliant Tact. on her, but I found it took up too many people for other feats. And when she is that fragile with a target that big on her head, she dies faster then you'd think.



Now, my since this is posted for critique, and ideas, I want to drop some concerns in 1 neat list.

-Despite TK, 2 of my main hitters have Phasing, is this movement too slow for 1000pts?

-Batman is my only upfront outwit, in 1000pts I see this as a terrible thing. I was considering dropping someone for a Manhunter, should I? If I do, who?

-Should I drop Stunning Blow for Recharge on Amon? Suddenly his is a 95pt character who will be slightly annoying and taken out easy if the opponent is so inclined.

-7 pieces for a 1000pt team? While 4 of the main pieces are powerful, and I have a scrub killer, and 2 supporters, I am not sure if this team is too small to hand a large threat. And while we only play 5 actions at 1000pt, I have my worries.

Please, give me your thoughts and critique, I would like to fine-tune this and require a outside perspective.

You could drop Amon Sur and replace him with a Yellow Lantern who has RS+EE on his opening click. Yellow Lantern also gets an 18d to share with Defend on his 2nd click which I would push him onto.

Adding AP makes him 75pts compared to Amon with it @80pts.
You're just trading off for , but YL has his sp for 3 clicks compared to Amon's 1.

Then you will have enough left over to add Protected on somebody and maybe bring a bystander pog to run blocking/take theme tokens.

I would keep SB on Bats.

Also consider swapping out Crisis Sinestro for the 75th version.

This will allow you to add a AA Manhunter for some tie-up/more outwit.

Crisis Sinestro has upfront perplex too.

He's using the DC7th version which also has perplex. (Not that he needs it, he has a starting attack of 12). Unless you're suggesting he swaps out DC75th Sinestro for CR Sinestro. (Which would actually free up points for a man hunter)

I agree with doctor_x's suggestion of adding man hunters though. Their outwit really comes in handy in big point games. I'm also not too sure about Amon Sur at this point. He'll only be playing a supporting role really. EE with Armor Piercing is good, but for some reason, I can't point out what exactly, he doesn't quite fit in your build. Maybe you should consider dropping him for the man hunter?

Yeah, It is kind of where I am going with it, and when I do that I have 10pts to throw a nice feat on someone.

Lyssa should be a Brilliant Tactician and you shouldn't waste so many points on the new Sinestro.

Running Sinestro and Mongul Jr. on the same team is like kissing your sister...

This is what I would do. Brilliant tactician for lyssa. This team brings enough perplex to drop an elephant. A few times over. That's why I wouldn't worry about armor piercing so much. I go for more figures on my teams than feats if they'll fit. In this case they do. It leaves me with only two big guns with arkillo being a not small but effective gun. Although with all the perplex anyone can be turned into a monster. In addition there is plenty of cannon fodder for the main attackers to get into postion.

Grodd, old Vet Sinestro, and Superman Prime are way better than this new Sinestro and Arkillo. I like to pop Trick Shot on Grodd so he can expose those sneaky little stealthers

I would take grodd over arkillo easy. Sadly that's not a figure I have. Legacy sinestro is still good but lacks alot of the tricks both the newer sinestros have. I think too many points would be comitted to superman prime and he would just be wearing a big bullseye on his chest. Once he is gone his team is left lacking.
