The Book of Garrett Burns
 

The figure used for this unit is a DC HeroClix figure from the Jonah Hex Battle Pack. The name of the figure used is Turnbull.

Character Bio: The law has been looking for the murderer Garrett Burns for a long time. Once, a group of three Texas Rangers tracked him to the Mexico border, and cornered him in a box canyon. Another time, two federal marshals with a local sheriff stumbled onto his campsite near Cheyenne. They didn't stand a chance; Garrett gunned them all down.

-Rulings and Clarifications-

Q. If you successfully roll Quick Draw 13 for a common squad figure, does that squad figure count as "activated" for attacking even if he/she/it did not move?
A. YES. When a figure "targets" before an attack, it is activated and counts toward a figure used during the squad's turn, even if it did not move or get to attack.

• TORIN : Evil Eye Protection
  As a medium figure who follows Utgar, Garrett Burns benefits from Torin's EVIL EYE PROTECTION special power when he rolls defense dice against a normal ranged attack while he is adjacent to Torin (Garrett's excess shields count as unblockable hits inflicted by Torin on the attacking figure).

-Strategy, Tactics and Tips-

• QUICK DRAW 13: When playing Garrett, you will naturally be mindful of figures attempting to circumvent his QUICK DRAW with a melee attack or special attack. But don't forget to also keep an eye out for those units whose normal attacks have Range of 8 or higher:
  • Airborne Elite — Range 8
  • Deadeye Dan — Range 10
  • Major Q9 — Range 8
  • Major Q10 — Range 8
  • Syvarris — Range 9
  • Zetacron — Range 8
  • Other figures with enhanced Range from these effects:
    • Arktos' HUNTER'S AIM SPIRIT (C3V) — Range +2 to a unique army card
    • Zettian Guards + Deathwalker 9000's RANGE ENHANCEMENT — Range 7+2=9
    • Laglor's VYDAR'S RANGE ENHANCEMENT AURA — Range +2 to nearby friendly, ranged Vydar units
    • Glyph of Ivor — Range +4 to all friendly, ranged figures
    • Glyph of Lorja Ivor (C3V) — Range +1 to all friendly, ranged figures

One power is niche and the other is fairly easy to work around. Still, 3 attack at 7 range. C+

Ebon Armor's Animated Materiel and Eternal War also affect Garrett Burns. The same goes for Josie Whistlestop.

Re: The Book of Garrett Burns
 

Right, I considered that. But when I looked around at a few other books, it seemed like there was a practice of not including synergies that are highly common, and humans are of course everywhere. I sort of mentally categorized the Ebon Armor effect with the Viking spirits.

I guess the question is, where do we draw the line? Obviously something that targets "medium figures" or "heroes" would be pretty onerous to add to every relevant Book. Is "human" above or below the line?

To be clear, I am more than happy to make the adjustment. I want the Books I'm tending to be as complete and accurate as possible. I just wasn't sure where the boundary was. Anybody know the guidelines?

Here are the wordings I would use (copied from another Book I found, but with grammar corrections):

• EBON ARMOR : Animated Materiel; Eternal War
  As a Unique Human, Garrett Burns is eligible to have a destroyed Ebon Armor figure placed on his army card to replace him upon his own destruction.
  
  
• EBON ARMOR : Animated Materiel; Eternal War
  As a Unique Human, Josie Whistlestop is eligible to have a destroyed Ebon Armor figure placed on her army card to replace her upon her own destruction.

Re: The Book of Garrett Burns
 

After looking over this army card (in preparations for an Ornak-podge), I noticed that attacks that ignore Line of Sight can also circumvent Quick Draw 13. The Mindflayer Mastermind and Cxurg'gyath can both pull these tricks off, and the Airborne Elite also get to do it (though they are often more suited to shooting at him). This does require the figure to be hiding behind an obstacle, but is still a very real tactic.

Edit: And I just realized that Quickdraw is negated by special attacks altogether anyway. Carry on. :p :oops:

Re: The Book of Garrett Burns
 

Do you roll for quick draw before or after defense dice? Or do you roll it in place of defense dice?

Re: The Book of Garrett Burns
 

Before rolling defense dice. Although I'm not sure what happens if you destroy the attacking figure.

In the wild west....
 

Nothing. The attack doesn’t happen because targetting comes before the attack. :)

Re: The Book of Garrett Burns
 

I think that flameslayer is right. Quickdraw activates when he's targeted, not attacked, so the attacker hasn't rolled any attack dice yet, and if they are destroyed, then they aren't able to carry out the attack.

This could be a good R&C to add to the thread, in case anyone else has this question.

@Just_a_Bill or Mod, please add:

Tombstone Gunslinger - Outlaw Band & High Noon.
As a Unique Outlaw Hero, Tombstone Gunslinger, you may first take a turn with one other Common Outlaw Hero you control if there is at least one Order Marker on Tombstone Gunslinger, and you my add an additional attack die if Garrett Burns is within 2 clear sight spaces of that Tombstone Gunslinger.

Rulings and Clarifications:

If you successfully roll Quick Draw 13 for a common squad figure, does that squad figure count as "activated" for attacking even if he/she/it did not move?
YES. When a figure "targets" before an attack, it is activated and counts toward a figure used during the squad's turn, even if it did not move or get to attack.

Re: The Book of Garrett Burns
 

I've added this material and made parallel changes to the ones for Josie. Please review to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Re: The Book of Garrett Burns
 

Seems a little redundant but is consistent and clean formatting. Thanks.

Re: The Book of Garrett Burns
 

After months of searching I finally found this figure. The most Difficult C3V for me to find so far.
