Re: The Book of Songbird (Public Playtesting Phase)
Okay, here's the first test.
Name Of The Playtest Unit: Songbird
Army Test 1
Map: Sacred Shrine (no glyphs)
Armies:
Songbird, Atlas, Meteorite, Captain America (C3G) (900 points)
vs.
Doctor Octopus, Killer Croc, 3x LexCorps Security (810 points)
Spoiler Alert!
Overview of Songbird’s performance:
Damage inflicted through normal attacks - 1 LexCorp killed
5 Turns taken through Thunderbolt Loyalty.
Wounds blocked with Sonic Construct Defence - 3 on Meteorite, 2 on Songbird.
No One is Redeemed
Round One
Thunderbolts claim the initiative and Steve Rogers runs forwards.
One LexCorp and Killer Croc advance.
Atlas and Songbird advance, Songbird standing by both Atlas and Cap.
Another LexCorp and Doc Ock advance.
Meteorite flies up next to Songbird and Captain America.
One of the advanced LexCorps repositions further forwards. Killer Croc advances.
Round Two
LexCorps claim the initiative. The most advanced Lex Corp swoops to strike Meteorite in melee, inflicting no wounds. Killer Croc charges Meteorite, striking her uphill, inflicting two wounds.
Cap circles the Lex Corp and strikes Killer Croc from height, inflicting two wounds.
The LexCorp engaged with Meteorite strikes her for a wound, and Killer Croc proceeds to rip her head off, eliminating the Thunderbolts’ third turn.
Atlas takes a turn, but first, Songbird moves to strike the LexCorp, taking him out. Atlas then charges Killer Croc, striking him from high ground, inflicting two wounds.
The other advanced LexCorp flies forwards, shooting Songbird to no effect. Killer Croc claims equal height with his foes, engaging them all and striking Captain America (who is no longer adjacent to Songbird) for a wound.
Round Three
The Thunderbolts claim the initiative. Captain America punches Killer Croc, but his strike is blocked.
The LexCorp shoots Songbird - he rolls two skulls, and she somehow blanks on seven dice! Wake up, Melissa! Killer Croc strikes Captain America for a wound.
Songbird strikes Killer Croc to no effect, but Atlas finishes him off.
The LexCorp engages Atlas and Songbird in melee in order to keep them locked down. He shoots Songbird for a wound. Doc Ock runs forward and attacks Captain America from low ground, to no effect.
Songbird strikes the LexCorp, who blocks thanks to his Kryptonian Armour, but Atlas smashes him into the ground regardless.
A LexCorp moves up from reserve, and Doc Ock engages all his foes and moves to equal height with them, and rips inflicts a wound on the Captain.
Round Four
The Thunderbolts claim the initiative. Captain America punches Doctor Octopus for a wound.
A Lex Corp advances and shoots Cap to no effect. Doc Ock rips Captain America apart with his first three tentacles before lashing at Songbird with his fourth, which she blocks.
Songbird and Atlas both fail to hurt Doc Ock.
A LexCorp swoops in to strike Songbird in melee, but her Sonic Constructs save her life. Doc Ock kills Songbird, but it takes all of his attacks for him to achieve this.
Atlas smashes Doc Ock for two wounds.
The LexCorp shoots Atlas, who blocks. Doc Ock inflicts two wounds on Atlas.
Round Five
Atlas claims the initiative and engages the LexCorp, but fails to stomp Doc Ock.
The LexCorp strikes Atlas for a wound. Doc Ock strikes Atlas - his first two shots are blocked, but his third inflicts a wound. Atlas’s Ionic Imbalance backfires and he explodes, killing Octavius and the LexCorp in the blast!
LexCorps victorious - three LexCorps Security.
Overview: She didn't do too much this game, but I felt she was useful - her defence boost impacted the opponent's actions more than the overview would suggest. She got somewhat unlucky with her attack rolls, plus she died quicker than she should have done due to blanking on 7 defence dice. She seems useful to me - no one particular thing stands out massively, but she's got a few nice things going for her to let her fit in a few different armies. She looks like she may be a little overcosted right now, but there are no real red flags.
