Hello,
Today's blog post is about combining the old with the new. I've been vocal about trying to maintain value with our figures and only buying those figures you will use. While the tech stream has really been on vehicles I would like to point out something interesting. I came across this figure while talking with Tom aka Silent Scream.
First look at the old. First lets look at GG Nova Prime and his trait.
SHARE THROUGH THE WORLDMIND: Friendly characters with
the Nova Corps keyword can use Leadership, but only succeed on a roll of
6. Give an adjacent friendly character of 50 points or more with the
Nova Corps keyword a power action and remove an action token from Nova
Prime.
This trait is great if you are playing a ton of Nova Crops figures. I think that the fact that you only get leadership on a 6 is a bit suck. But you still get leadership.
Now lets look at the new. Harvey Bullock from Streets of Gotham has two solid special powers.
LEMME SHOW YOU HOW WE STAKEOUT: Harvey Bullock and adjacent friendly characters who possess a keyword or team ability in common with him can use Stealth.
I WANT THE BIG FINISH: Opposing characters within 6 squares and line of fire can't use Mastermid or Shape Change.
Stake out is the key element here. With this power you can keep Harvey and Nova Corps figures safe as long as they have the police keyword. Also you can carry Harvey during a running shot so you can negate your opponents Mastermind and Supersenses. Watch out Spiderman Harvey Bullock has your number.
The over all tactic you have to keep in mind is that you can spin your gauntlet just about every turn using Share through the World Mind. Harvey and Nova Prime are great on a Police Keyword team. If your opponent thought they were going to get over because you didn't pack Batman TA. They will be in for a surprise.
You have survived the Mayan calender ending. Now it is time for some law and order huh.
Check your stocking on Christmas. You may see something from Starting Over Podcast if Left for Dead game doesn't eat my time.
Check you later,

I thought if you are carrying a fig that you cannot use the effects of the fig until the actions resolve. It is my understanding that the carried fig is considered off the map entirely. For example I cannot carry around a click with enhancement and add one to my damage....If this is true (which you can verify for me) then you wouldn't be able to carry Bullock around, but could put him in a great position, then do your running shot...Look forward to hearing if I am wrong...Keep up the good work..
ReplyDeleteYou can carry and get effects unless it hss. Hss puts figures off map until the action resolve. Bullock would be paced for the running shot.
DeleteCheck out the Nova corp ATA as well. Makes Nova Prime cost less.
ReplyDeleteSweet....Makes running shot all the better....Glad to know...So with running shot you set the character back before the attack roll?
