They already can. He just does not get the Attack and Move bonus.

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Sasquatch (4/8 wounds), Bucky (2/4 wounds)

Post-game thoughts: Definitely a fun tense game there towards the end, where a single bad Tanaraq roll could turn a win into a big loss.

This game definitely felt a bit lopsided, with T1 losing a full-life Angel and barely using Sasquatch and still winning. But that didn’t have much to do with Sasquatch either way.

Pre-game thoughts: Sasquatch is Kraven’s Prey. Idea here is that T1 constantly kills Jason and burns him for Tanaraq turns. Mantis is there to make sure that Sasquatch can get those OMs at the right time.

___________________________________________________________

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Hmmm...two decent wins, but I don’t feel like Sasquatch was an overwhelming factor in either of them. The extra turns are certainly nice.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: I like him a lot! He feels fresh as both a big bruiser type and a “fights harder when allies are wounded” type.

Here you go!

[Tornado]

Thanks!

[Lord Pyre]

This completely slipped under my radar. Looks good though. Nice clean design. Pretty big risk with his bonus turn, but I'm sure I'd utilize it before he's wounded. Looking good.

[Soundwarp SG-1]

Random thought, but should the 'turn into a Demon' bit have a bit more to it?

Like right now it just switches his species? So he's still 'loyal' after literally just betraying his team?

Like if he's straight up getting possessed by Tanaraq I'd probably go full monty and have him get a new class and personality too.

Not really loyal, your opponent now has him to control. But I do like the class change bit.

Huh? I'm saying he keeps the personality Loyal even when he betrays you and switches teams. Which seems weird because like, pretty much the single biggest requirement to being loyal is to not do that.

Oh gotcha...sorry read your comment wrong.

[Tornado]

Considered that actually. Open to suggestions, preferably something that does not require additional testing.

[Lord Pyre]

Like this?

After revealing an order marker and taking a turn with Sasquatch, you may remove a figure from this army card, that was placed by the Fallen Friends special power and take one additional turn with Sasquatch. After that turn, roll the 20-sided die, subtracting 1 for each Wound Marker on this card. If you roll a 1 or lower, remove all order markers from this card and choose an opponent to take control of Sasquatch and for the rest of the game Sasquatch's Species is considered to be Demon, and his Personality is considered to be Tormented instead of what is listed on this card.

[Tornado]

Yeah, that is cool. @Splash can you try out the Tormented tweak if you have not started?

[Splash]

Sure, yeah.
