The Book of Ka-Zar

[IAmBatman]

Best comparison I could find for stats straight off was Iceman. Iceman has a terrain specific power as well. Off the top of my head, I'd call Iceman's special attack at least a little bit better than Big Game Hunter, Ice Slide 4 more useful than Vine Swing, and Mutant Adventurer much more useful than Human Hunter. Iceman also has one more defense at 150. So I'd probably start him at 140 and go from there. He's likely to only get drafted on jungle/forest maps (or with Floronic Man, I suppose), so he'll be a situational draft anyway, but I think 160's probably a bit high.

No other concerns.

I sent it out with 160 points.

I didn't know the 6 range before, what is that supposed to represent? If it's just a spear, I'd much prefer 3-4 range.

He's a skilled archer to my knowledge.

From comicvine:

Ka-Zar has no Super-Human powers, but he has peak human physical conditioning and is very skilled in hunting, tracking, trapping, fishing, swimming and has great overall survival skills. He is also a skilled combatant - both unarmed and with weapons such as knives and swords, and is an excellent shot with bows and slings.

Hmm, what's the standard for characters who could have range (i.e. commonly use guns or bows) in relation to their miniatures (as in if they do or don't have miniatures wielding ranged weapons)?

The miniature listed in the OP only has a knife, which makes range seem odd; but thematically he wields a bow and there's another mini that does have a bow, but it's more costly and is standing on a boulder with Zabu.

For what it's worth, I like the range with the mini who has a bow, but understand if the cost and/or the tricky rebasing is undesirable.

[Lord Pyre]

My personal opinion is 4ish range and the cheaper mini.

[Karat]

I'd say 5 due to the sling. Slings are easily concealed and have moderate-high range capacity.

Also, I like the OP mini more

I feel if we go with range, it should be 5 or 6. It is a little odd that the mini I was planning on using doesn't have a bow, but feel that he should have range, does anyone else have opinions on this (maybe a poll)?

I'd be comfortable with him having anywhere from 4-6 range.

Is there an existing design whose range is attributed to a sling or slingshot? (I'm not thinking of one other than one of the civilian minis and the civilians have a range of 1, thereby not relevant)... that could be a nice precedent to base things on tho, if such a precedent exists.

[Karat]

The closest I can think of thematically is Kraven and his Bolas.
