The Book of Samuel Brown
 

(If you cannot view the army card image, follow this link to the Heroscapers Gallery)

Character Bio (From truth): Awhile back Wizards asked us to design a couple of potential repaint exclusives. We made Agent Skahen and one other. The other was a patriot by the name of Samuel Brown and he was never used. We recently asked Wizards for permission to release the card and were granted permission. So here it is. Special thanks to long-time Heroscaper Hextr1p for assisting on putting the card graphic together.

FIRST! Awesome. Thanks tcglkn. This was the fastest BOOK post ever! :D

Re: The Book of Samuel Brown
 

Things like this make me wonder if we could ever receive the Marvel wave 1 stats.

Re: The Book of Samuel Brown
 

I really can't afford to waste a squad of 4th Mass to make this guy, seeing that I'm a squad less than the number I want, but proxy him I will. :). Don't know what I'll do for tournaments though.

One thing that I see right off the bat is he offers many more roles to a 450pt. or 520pt. Mass build. If you want all valiant you're going to use SotM Drake and x4 or 5 Mass. But now that 170pt. role can be Alastair, RotV Drake, or Concan + Eldgrim along with Sam. And, now that I suddenly realized it, he is the second one to have a special attack too. Big hero with SA or 1-2 heroes and Sam with a SA. That is cool.

Yeah, I hope Marvel Wave 1, D4, and other never released things will finally surface.

As I said in the blog:

Re: The Book of Samuel Brown
 

I think he could be a good PK killer. Fire and Rush will eliminate their extra def, and he can take out two of them at once.

Re: The Book of Samuel Brown
 

I could see 4 people going in together to split the purchase price of a pack of 4th Mass, paint all of 4 of the figures with brown coats, and then just divide them up. It doesn't have to be this exact figure out of the pack. That is, of course, if you can find them....

;) Normally I wouldn't post this here, but putting our new holiday gift of Mel Gibson, er, I mean Samuel Brown, together with C3V's IAmBatman "not wanting to fill every missing niche"--and given that we now have a newly created missing niche--I came up with the following untested custom while anticipating our new Official figure--use any Rev War figure with a repainted GREEN coat for the following:

LYNDON BARRY
(Einar)

3 Life
Move 5
Range 6
Attack 3
Defense 2
55 Points

Human
Unique Hero
Loyalist
Disciplined
Medium 5

Recruit Loyalists
Instead of Attacking, roll the twenty sided die. On a roll of 15 or higher, place a defeated 10th Foot figure back on the board, on an empty space adjacent to Lyndon Barry but not adjacent to an unfriendly figure. Place a wound marker on its base. The new Loyalist has the same statistics as a 10th Foot figure, but without the Special Powers. Lyndon Barry may not recruit more figures than the number that started the game.

Re: The Book of Samuel Brown
 

If me and mine can get a sixth squad of Mass, this will definitely happen (our collection is shared, funded by seven guys for the last six years). The problem being that we don't yet have even a fourth squad of the Mass.:(

Re: The Book of Samuel Brown
 

I have an extra set of 4th Mass and the painting doesn't look too hard.

Re: The Book of Samuel Brown
 

I know the back of the card is almost never used, but is there any way we can get a picture of it?
