I'm looking at some of my 1.0 and 2.0 nons and it came to me that which one really surges the best. Thusly I have looked at four *** figures.

30 - Werewolf:10 (stealth), 12, 16, 3 (Battle Fury)
36 - Blade Golem: 8, 11, 16 (Battle Armor), 4
61 - Steam Knight: 8, 10, 17 (Toughness), 3 (Crushing Blow)
46 - Warbear: 8, 12, 16 (toughness), 4 (Battle Fury)

My question is if these figures are all good in their own element, or whether, by expierance one ahs proven better then the others. Or maybe if there exists a better one that I'm missing. Thanks for your time.

Well, the ridiculous Mountain King can surge 12", and pound on you for 4 damage...and keep pounding, so thats not too shabby!

*** deathsingers
constant vampirism, thunder blow startign on the second click

I think the most of the push-spawn would work...

Elf At Arms***

8 Surge into:

8 move 9 attack 3 damage

While 8" Surge is not high, it's not bad, and when you consider you can move them into position with 12" FM and how cheap they are, I think they're a big bargain! Especially with their Gang-Up potential!

** infantry captains are good. 12inch surge with 9 attack and 3 damage for 3 clicks. All this for only 23 pnts

Fell Reaper can surge at 14+ inch. Since it has flight, it is not affected by hindering or blocking terrain.

A 14-inch surge outdistance a 14-inch range by about an 1 inch.

And have to mention TECHUN.

A 12-inch surge, 13-attack, and 5 damage. Unlike striker, though it can surge further, Techun can get into the thick of the battle and still have better chance of getting away and surviving.

Now even Wraith will cower at the sight of Techun!

Techun shall rise again to its rightful place!

:D

my contenders
pyre spirit-

con's-after 2clicks only 2 dmg

i'll post more later
i wanna watch american psyco again ;)

problem with "great" Surgers that can Surge from a mile away, like Techun...if you do that, then your Techun is sitting there alone, and can be rear-arc Surged, with 3 actions, if your opponent has decent Surgers around, your Techun will die or be cancelled. To me, techun is an awesome unique-killer in 2.0

with his great Range attack, and awesome Surge, most 2.0 figs will be running from him!!!

For me I like the Solonavi Striker simply for its versatility.
It can surge for 14" with flight so it can ignore all terrain and it can range attack for 14" with Flame/lightning. No matter what domain your opponent may use the Striker will always have an optimal use. If surging is cancelled or reduced his range is key. If range is cancelled or reduced his surging is key. Add to that he has Battle Fury to prevent capturing and Toughness to prevent auto-damage.

The only weakness I see is when surging him to be careful when he is about to go to his third or fourth click. He gains Bound which limits his movement considerably and denies him an easy break. He does require some support when surging in case he is forced into those clicks but overall I think he is a solid figure.
