At our local shop, the War Of Light month 2 tournament was delayed for a week and this week was going to be a Master Mold scenario, 1200 points, divided up by the number of players that showed. Several of the locals were not available so it was me and a newer player against Master Mold.
I am not a real big fan of Collosals but had not been able to go to the shop in the last two weeks so I went anyway.
I'm glad I did, it was a lot of fun, but the game took forever and it was called as the shop was about to close. Plus, I had never played against any Sentinels and we went up against Sentinels from GSX, CW, DOFP and of course, Master Mold.
I ran a team of DP 019 Deadpool with the Hammer Time word bubble, DP Banshee, DOFP Moira McTaggert, DP Speed Demon and SLOSH Bizzaro at 175 points. I also threw in a Book of the Skull with 7 hammers (any one have a spare Skadi's hammer?!)
Bizzaro is incredible, but we all know that, right? And every time I use Speed Demon, he rocks. I love his special power and if he gets hit once, he usually ends up on an even more powerful click, where he can make two attacks when he uses Hypersonic Speed, plus his Special: Speed Cyclone Uplift.
Oh, the new thing I learned today? Well, I was unaware that force blast could be used in conjunction with ranged attacks. I had looked at the power but it always said it was used against adjacent characters. In the 2014 PAC, it states ' When this character hits with an attack, you may choose that it generates knock back if it doesn’t already.'
So, very cool. It gives some characters some awesome new options. AVX Cyclops becomes even more devastating with running shot and force blast in the same turn.... I'm going to run WMX 37a Magneto and see how many people he can smash into walls :)
In the right situation, the updated Force Blast could be a game changer.
