I was just into Mage Knight for about 1 month before sinister came out so I didn't really know what to think. Going over her dial tonight I see that she still have 10 flight on her last click of life.

With everyone crying and whining and banning now with some heavy hitters out there, I was wondering if people were doing the same when the Creator came out.

yep... she's a major threat to the figs... but she did cost a LOT, so nobody played her.

At that time, people were much more worried about the Striker, which can be played in smaller games, something difficult with the Creator.

Some people posted threads like - "Help me defeating a Creator", or "My cheesy friend keeps kicking my arse with a Creator, what should I do", but nothing compared to the fear the Striker ispired.

Others were also worried about the Tormentor and its annoying dodge click.

At first the Creator was the big news because it was the most expensive figure. People were real concerned about it, even for the points. However, once people started designing armies with it, they found that it was too expensive. Plus, they discovered the Striker who is better for the points.

I cried.

But only because I got some sad in my happy.

I cried with joy when I pulled mine in a booster pack. It still remains my only Sinister unique pull out of 15+ packs....so now I cry with despair at my horrible luck.

They cry when it comes up. They cry when it sets. They cry when in moves across the sky. It is the only constant I have found in the crying.

The Creator is big and strong but its expensive so its not as bad. THe problem with the other figures is they were cheaper so it caused some balance problems.

I don't like it. It is way too expensive for what you get: only one click of 5 damage, only one click of inv, and the mh she has is usless. I traded mine off for an OoU and OoV, and never regretted it.

yeah but isnt' there also 4 clicks of regen and 4 of shockwave? Plus never does under 3 damage and has flight it's entire life. 14 range? yeah I think that's all worth 178 points, and she can even be enhanced for those freaks that like to cheese it up.

She's worth it in conquest to be sure, she's a total recking ball in that form, but she's just to expensive for unlimited. 178 points ties down more than half of your points (assuming you play the standard 300 points) in a single figure. Whenever you do that, you take a chance.

Dude, you guys are not looking at the big picture, the Creator was obviously intended for Conquest. why else would she have Magic Healing? I mean, at 178 points, what would she heal? her shaman? In 2000 point games, she's awesome... she can single-handedly hit Gilgarsh on a 7 or better, not a feat to be scoffed at.
With some blockers and a bunch of the smaller Solanavi with her, she can be a force to be reckoned with, and especially against other uniques. Her superior range is a definate plus, as well.
In Conquest, try a formation of the five unique Solanavi... your opponent will have a hard time trying to figure out which one he should shhot at first, since F/L usually won't duant their toughness and high defenses, and definately not if the Creator is behind them, healing. Of course, once you get into the fight, put her where she can shoot. it's a great way to get all your solanavi into the fray quickly and safely, even if your opponent concentrates all his forces on them he still should only be able to take out one before they are upon him like the dogs of war.. and some of them might even be on better stats... striker on bound, tormentor on charge...

I'm not so sure; last time I faced a Creator in a Conquest game I hit her with one shot from a 5xenhanced HOST and finished her off the next turn.

Yes, my opponent made a mistake, but just don't forget that between the formations that can easily do 8 points of damage in one shot and the high powered other stuff that you can do in Conquest, she is just the right size to kill (not having a zillion clicks like MDFs and Titans) and still get enough points to sway the game drastically in your favor.

Listen to what you said. You hit her with a 5x enchanced stone thrower. What do you expect? ANY single dial figure is going to be hurting after that. That's 8 damage.

She's pretty.
