You may not take any additional turns with any other figures you control.

If this League Assassin destroys an enemy figure with its normal attack, you may immediately replace it on the battlefield with a previously destroyed Elite League Assassin figure in your Army. If you do, remove this figure from the game.

Army Test
Map: Wakandan Royal Forest
Units: 1000 pts - Ra's Al Ghul 260, Elite League Assassins, League Assassins x7, Winter Soldier 240(Assassin) VS 1000 pts - Kingpin 220, Gamora 310, Whirlwind, Firefly, Radioactive Man

Spoiler Alert!

Damage Dealt: R2T1 Radioactive Man 3 wounds
R2T1 Kingpin 2 wounds
R2T2 Firefly 1 wound
R2T2 Kingpin 2 wounds
R2T3 Firefly 1 wound
R2T3 Firefly 2 wounds



The Demon's Hands: Took a turn almost every round.

Phantom Walk: Used a few times for positioning, getting in attacks they they wouldn't have without it.

Trial By Blood: Never killed anyone when there was a dead Elite League Assassin.

Winter Soldier's Mark is Kingpin.
Winter Soldier picks Whirlwind.
Winter Soldier picks Gamora.
Gamora attacks and One Shot Godslays Ra's Al Ghul.

Assassins moved in to try and swarm Kingpin with support from Kingpin. They started out pulling wounds on Radioactive Man and Kingpin and taking out Firefly. Once Winter Soldier took out Kingpin it looked to be over. Then Whirlwind and Gamora moved in and took over. Whirlwind killed 5 League Assassins and 2 Elite Assassins before Winter Soldier put him down. Gamora cleaned up the rest of the Assassins and then got a big shot in on Ra's one-shotting him with her Godslayer power. She then went straight after Winter Soldier taking him out without taking a wound even as his mark.


Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Gamora full 5 life left

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Theme is spot on to me. I think 50 is good if leaving at 4 attack. If they drop back to 3 then definitely would need a price drop. Keeping at 50 points to marry with the Elites 150 is nice too.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: Fun units that felt really thematic. Having these guys as support to a hero like Winter Soldier who can sit back and snipe while the League muddies thing up and holds down a target is great. At their defense of 3 they aren't really very tough but they were able to block some attacks in game two when the Guardians just didn't roll very good attacks. I will for sure play the above team again as I think it's a pretty strong way to use them. I'm not sure if the 200 point Ra's plays better or not but 260 Ra's is a great pairing. I think they are good as is and I don't recommend any changes.
