The Book of Iron Legion Drone

[IAmBatman]

110 fits perfectly with Avengers Iron Man, Avengers War-Machine, and Cap (I), though. 100 ... basically fits as an add on to any existing army.

Post-game thoughts: This was an odd one - fairly close game, but I feel like a lot of that comes down to Iron Man MkV going HAM in the back half of the game. The Drones served their purpose, but I’m still not sure they’re worth their 100 points.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: They still feel a little soft? They’re decent little lockdown/efficiency figures, but they require a decent point investment that can be spent on other things. I think a Defense buff to 5 might just do it.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: Balance aside, these dudes feel just like they should. The new Iron Grasp is awesome and super complimentary to basically any kind of build you want to toss them in. I think we have a winner here!

I'd be happy with a move to Final Editing @5 Defense, but I'd wait to hear what others say first.

[IAmBatman]

You know I'm in favor of 5 defense. (And was after my test ).

[FreshFoods]

Thanks a ton Nobody!

Really appreciate the Mark V test, that was my biggest concern but it's looking good. I'll up their defense to 5, and I propose we move to final editing at 100 points.

[tcglkn]

Yea when you replace the hyphens in the SP with •

[MrNobody]

Yea

[Arch-vile]

yea

[Dr. Jekyll]

Yea

[japes]

yea

[FreshFoods]

That's a pass.

I know there's been a little confusion on the first power if anyone has ideas to smooth it out.

• Attack with this Iron Legion Drone. If you do, that Unique Hero figure cannot attack this turn.
Only one Iron Legion Drone may use this special power per turn, or two if the figure you revealed an Order Marker on has the identity of Tony Stark.

Maybe something like that? Definitely need to reveal the Order Marker on a card and not a figure.

Maybe just say “you may do either or both of the following:”
