_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - The Sentinels have a single purpose: find, capture, and eliminate all mutants. Built by anti-mutant anthropologist Bolivar Trask, the Sentinels are massive, three-story tall machines, capable of flight, damage resistance, mutant tracking, energy manipulation, and more. Opponents of the X-Men, the Brotherhood, and more, these unstoppable machines were designed to work in swarms, finding mutants, surrounding them, and adapting to new situations. However, these machines turned on Trask, and were defeated by the X-Men. Since then, countless new models, updates, and redesigns have brought the Sentinels back, under the control of Bolivar’s son Larry, Stephen Lang, Sebastian Shaw, and often times Master Mold, a giant machine that acts as a mobile Sentinel factory.

In the “Days of Future Past,” the Sentinels grow powerful enough to conquer the entire United States – clearly, the threat they pose not only to mutants, but to humanity itself, is a grave one.

Re: Sentinels C3G X-Men Master Set
 
The one thing that makes me very in favor of this move is that I don't know what other figure we'd ever use for Master Mold and I very much want to see him.
It doesn't help that I still haven't figured out how to properly base my Sentinel so the guy stands up! Now that we have this separate thread for the Sentinels, maybe GreyOwl can share some tips on that one ...

Re: Sentinels C3G X-Men Master Set
 
The only thing I think we may need to customize on this Sentinel figure, is snapping off the rocket launcher on his shoulder, but I personally wouldn't mind it staying there either.

Re: Sentinels C3G X-Men Master Set
 
I think we can suggest it in the rulebook as an alternate, cheaper figure for those that don't want to buy the real Sentinel figure. But I think the card should absolutely have the real Sentinel on it.

I wouldn't dwell on the cost too much. People that want to play the card but can't afford the figure will proxy.

IAmBatman December 4th, 2009 05:01 PM

Re: Sentinels C3G X-Men Master Set
 
So what figure do you see us using for Master Mold, then?

GreyOwl December 4th, 2009 05:05 PM

Re: Sentinels C3G X-Men Master Set
 
Can't we use the same Sentinel figure, possibly repainted?

IAmBatman December 4th, 2009 05:10 PM

Re: Sentinels C3G X-Men Master Set
 
I'm not sure if we want to call for repainting as a necessity for using the figure. Also, shouldn't Master Mold be larger than a normal sentinel?
I really like Griffin's idea as a way of having a three tiered Sentinel "faction" with the small common ones as common squads, the ones he put up as common heroes, and the expensive large hard to rebase one as a unique hero Master Mold.

Master Mold is so much bigger though, and are you really suggesting repainting as oppose to just buying a cheaper appropriate figure? I am kinda shocked by that actually. Heroscape is about buying cheap minis that are prepainted.

Re: Sentinels C3G X-Men Master Set
 
The problem I have is that regular Sentinels are huge. I would rather proxy a large figure than use the small Sentinels.

IAmBatman December 4th, 2009 05:16 PM

Re: Sentinels C3G X-Men Master Set
 
And we're using proxied figures anyway, even if some are official Marvel proxies and some aren't, they're both still proxies, so I think we can allow ourselves some flexibility where it's reasonable to.
