Character Bio - The Skrull Empire is poised to take over the Earth: with agents infiltrating all the major governments and populations. The domination and subjugation of the entire galaxy is their goal, and the best tool for world domination is to spread chaos and disorder. How better to accomplish that than through the assassination of key figures? With the Skrulls, you never know who the killer might be. It may be that cute boy or girl down the street, or even your secretary...who can you trust?

SECRET INVASION
Skrull Silencers do not start the game on the battlefield. Skrull Silencers can only enter the battlefield when a small or medium figure that is not a Skrull is destroyed. You may replace that figure, if possible, with one of your own Skrull Silencers that has not yet been placed on the battlefield.

PHANTOM WALK
A Skrull Silencer can move through all figures and is never attacked when leaving an engagement.

ASSASSINATION
When attacking with a Skrull Silencer, each skull rolled counts as an additional hit. After a Skrull Silencer inflicts one or more wounds on a figure with its normal attack, if that figure has only 1 Life remaining, that Skrull Silencer may attack that figure one additional time.

Not exactly sure that second image is great for our purposes...

Absolutely open to suggestions, just wasn't really sure what to go with....I mean...at least its goats

[Yodaking]

Didn't the secret invasion story conclude with a big fight in DC? Maybe the Skrull mini standing in front of the White House or on the Mall might work.

[MrNobody]

Could be some cows in a pasture as a reference to the original Skrull story.

In all seriousness, what about just inside a regular house? That really sells the creepy “could be your neighbor” vibe and leaves something like Washington for more of a leader type.

Is Assassination a reuse? It seems so familiar...

Wouldn't mind lower life, higher defense, and going to Common here. I think it would just be a lot easier to keep track of that way.

[IAmBatman]

I like Uncommon as a way to differentiate them from the Infiltrators. These are the more elite level, targeted Infiltrators.

My only food for thought is are we sure we want the synergies that come with the Assassin class here? Their cost is going to be largely based on Hand Ninja bonding as is, IMO. I'm not sure that's necessarily desirable.

It's somewhat mechanically similar to Hela's Touch of Death (while being different enough to distinguish itself).

[Karat]

It's a combination of Deadly Shot and Finish The job.

I originally had them as Commons, but I agreed with Bats' reasoning and changed to Uncommon. The could be 2 life Uncommons with higher defense though.

I'm kind of with Johnny here in that I remember or invented a discussion keeping the Non Champion Hero versions of Skrulls as common or squads to differentiate them from Kree which would have Uncommon and Common heroes with no Squads.

Plus cheap uncommon means lots of army cards on the table.
