Basic Side:

Spoiler Alert!

The figure used for this unit is a Mage Knight figure from the Heroic Quests: The Citadel set. Its model name is Sunbane.

Character Bio: Hailing from the far flung future of Arctorus comes the Chrono-Mage Rygarn. Wielding the mysterious and powerful Chrono-Key, Rygarn can bend time and reality to his will. Rygarn can use this power to rewrite orders given to your forces at a moment’s notice or to step back in his own time-stream to avoid danger. With Rygarn in your army, you'll always be one step ahead of your enemy.


Special Powers

Chrono-Key:
Once per round, before revealing a numbered marker on an Army Card in your army, you may choose this Army Card or an Army Card that has at least one figure you control within 6 spaces of Rygarn. Move that numbered Order Marker to the chosen Army Card and reveal it on that Army Card instead.

Temporal Jump:
When Rygarn receives one or more wounds from a normal or special attack by an opponent's figure, you may roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 15 or higher, choose an empty space within 4 spaces of Rygarn. Place Rygarn on the chosen space to ignore any wounds he just received. If Rygarn is engaged when he uses Temporal Jump, he will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

Wave should be Lodin's Discord (no "e" at the end). Pack should be Heroes of the Lost Citadel.

Rygarn receives Command Courier, Agent Skahen, and Laglor synergy.

Besides that, looks good!

Do you reveal order markers on destroyed figures? And are destroyed figures still in your army? I believe the answer is yes to both of those, but unsure.......

Very important for Rygarn and an initiative win OM1 gamble if you can mitigate the risk of losing initiative with switching the OM off of a destroyed army card.

Not sure about the "in your army" part, but OMs definitely are not revealed when the figure is destroyed.

I know you can place order markers on destroyed figures (Thanos comes to mind...), but if the figure is destroyed and a numbered order marker is on that destroyed figure, it isn't revealed?

Action 1. Reveal Your Order Marker
Start your by revealing your Order Marker for that turn, then laying it number-side up on the Army Card. Note: later in the game, it's possible that the figure(s) on that Army Card will have been destroyed earlier in the round. In such a case, you lose your turn.

You lose your turn. This is why powers that say "After revealing an Order Marker on this card and before/after taking a turn with XXX" don't work because you can't take your turn since you lose it.

However, you still reveal your Order Marker, so my answer would be yes, if I reveal an Order Marker on the card of a figure that is destroyed, I can move that Order Marker to another card in my army.

...Now my question is if Rygarn's dead, can you move his Order Marker somewhere else?

[Arch-vile]

You can move OMs from dead Army Cards. Using risky tactics like an initiative gamble is less risky with Rygarn, because you know you won't lose that Order Marker.

Q: Can you use Chrono-Key to move an order marker from a card whose figures have all been destroyed to a different card?
A: Yes. An army card whose figures have all been destroyed is still in your army.

If Rygarn is dead, his special powers cannot be used. Plus, there would be no figures within 6 clear sight spaces.

At least I had the right answer for one part.

Q: Can you use Chrono-Key to move an order marker from a card whose figures have all been destroyed to a different card?
A: Yes. An army card whose figures have all been destroyed is still in your army.

If an army card who's figure(s) have been destroyed is still in your army, doesn't that interfere with the 4th Mass's valiant power? When a card is destroyed that isn't valiant, the 4th can pick up their defense bonus after the figures are destroyed. That seems to clash with the card still being in your army, except it's not in your army for the 4th?

I think it should be: A: Yes. You can still reveal Order Markers on figures that are destroyed.

I think the proper phrasing for Rygarn's power would be "an army card that you control" instead, with that in mind.

A destroyed figure is always in your army. However, nowhere does Valiant Army Defense Bonus reference "your army."

If it said "you control," destroyed figures would not count.
