Just played my first Marvelscape games. Something that occurred to me almost immediately is that Red Skull is a great teammate for Thanos. If you manage to roll that 19-20 for rejected by death and the order marker is on Red Skull, that's potentially an immediate turn with Thanos right after he comes back. He's a little bit of a glass jaw, especially compared with the other guys in the pack, but he has some very nice specials. I took out one figure each game with the Dusy-o-death, and the Master Manipulator is a VERY nice special. If he was a tougher figure it would almost be a broken special, but the weak stats balance it out nicely. Fun figure.

I played a game with 4 friends last night, so we each had 2 figures, and red skull was pretty awesome. he died as soon as someone shot at him (blanked the defense roll), but he auto-killed a healthy hulk and healthy venom without breaking a sweat. I think the army with Thanos won, although thanos never died

What constitutes a clear line of sight? Absolutely nothing in between their sight and the character in question? The rulebook is so vague on the subject.

It means that you can see any part of the figure, regardless of hit zones.

Red Skull is my favorite unit so far in the game.
I like the insaneness of the Hulk and the fun of the Surfer, but there's some great comfort with order markers on Red Skull, all of your army's figure in CLOS of him, and having plenty of options when it's time to roll for that initiative - winning the roll or otherwise. And I'll admit it - I'm a sucka for D20-based abilities - especially one that has options like Dust-of-Death. Quote:

I like to take one or more of the web-slingers with Red Skull and move him out in front early. If the enemy moves up a high-attack ranged hero to threaten the Skull, I manipulate Spider-Man or Venom to jump in and lock him up. Also, I try to draft the Silver Surfer with Red Skull so he can't be used against me. (Actually, I try to draft the Surfer pretty much every game, so it doesn't change all that much).

The other day I took Red Skull and then just filled up my army with cheap heroes, as many as I could draft. The lack of synergy was a minor concern....my flexibility was insane. I could react to anything, anywhere, and so I decimated the other army.

Ah, Redskull. Crappy in Marvel(at least until a few more expasions come out), awesome in general HeroScape games. I can't wait to try him out!
Also, does anyone else think red skull looks a little funny with a red head and flesh colored hands? I might have to paint some gloves on him.... ~Yub yub, Commander! I only drink the blood of my enemies, and occasionally a strawberry yoohoo. Good Trades: R˙chean, Vydar, kboleen, Hahma |

Since I think I'm going to play more Marvel/Classic combination games then pure Marvel, Red Skull is going to be awesome. He gives such a diversity with him that you can pratically sit him somewhere and reign havoc. He also has Dust of Death, good enough on it's own. I'm not particullarly enthralled by the sculpt, though, due to those yellow eyes. Why does he have those, anyways?

Bad cloning job?
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

All Nazis had yellow eyes; that's how we could identify and shoot them.
Neo-nazis, unfortunatly, have evolved to look like everyone else. Since they don't have the yellow eyes like their fore-bearers, many of them shave their heads to proclaim their affiliation. This also makes them easier to identify and shoot. You are the brute squad! Quote:

The swastika tattoos on the tops of their heads also make excellent targets.
Not that I'd ever hurt a Neo-Nazi ... Jesus loves them too (though to a lesser extent). C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.
