The Book of Torquemada
The Book of Torquemada C3G 2000AD SUPER SECRET EXCLUSIVE 62 THE TERROR OF TERMIGHT Comic PDF Mini PDF Alternate Cards:
Spoiler Alert!
The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Indy set. Its model number and name are #106-108 / Torquemada. _________________________________________________________________ Character Bio - As a child, Torquemada embarked on what he thought was a 'children's crusade' to rid the galaxy of aliens, but was betrayed by the crusade's leader, sold into slavery and ended up working as a slave for an alien race for five years. After his escape and return home he hated aliens more than ever. After working as the leader of the Tube Police on Termight (Earth in the far future), Torquemada eventually rose to be supreme ruler of the entire Termight Empire, ruling with the assistance of his quasi-religious police force, the Terminators. Torquemada's philosophy was simple: all alien life was evil and had to be destroyed in order for the 'pure' humans to inherit the universe. Following a bizarre teleporter accident caused by his arch-foe Nemesis the Warlock, Torquemada lost his physical form and was forced to continue his existence by possessing a series of host bodies which quickly rotted.

Re: The Book of Torquemada (Initial Playtest)
NAME = TORQUEMADA
SECRET IDENTITY = TOMAS DE TORQUEMADA SPECIES = HUMAN UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO CLASS = DICTATOR PERSONALITY = FANATICAL SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5 LIFE = 4 MOVE = 5 RANGE = 1 ATTACK = 4 DEFENSE = 4 POINTS = 205 PURE VIGILANCE! All Common Human figures you control have a Fanatical personality instead of what is listed on their cards. When Torquemada or a Fanatical Human figure within three clear sight spaces of Torquemada attacks an adjacent non-human figure with a normal attack, add one automatic skull to whatever is rolled. FOUR FACES OF TORQUEMADA Start the game with three gray Face markers. After Torquemada has been destroyed, whenever a small or medium figure is destroyed that is not an Android, Undead or Construct, you may place one Face Marker on this card. If you do, replace the destroyed figure with Torquemada, remove all Wound Markers from this card and then place 1 Wound Marker on this card for each Face Marker on this card. If there is a Face Marker on this card, Torquemada has the Species of Undead instead of Human. MY TERMINATORS ARE WATCHING! After taking a turn with Torquemada, if he inflicted one or more wounds on a non-human with his normal attack this turn, you may either move and attack with one other Fanatical Human you control or move any three other Fanatical Human figures you control.

Re: The Book of Torquemada (Breathe, baby, breathe)
Not a lot to contribute here as I don't know the character and don't enjoy playing large common squad armies, but here are some tactics based observations related to unique heroes. Punisher, Swordsman, Baron (Helmut) Zemo, Black Bat, & Kraven are the humans that I can think of that will really benefit greatly from having him around. Those combos will drive his price IMO.

Re: The Book of Torquemada (Breathe, baby, breathe)
Just thinking about it a bit more, since this guy is essentially Hitler, and Captain America punching Hitler in the face was kind of a big deal, I don't really like the idea of him inspiring Capt. America to punch out non-humans. Maybe restrict the auto skull boost to Fanatical humans to better tie in the theme and make drafting human squads into his army the better play. Then you don't have to worry about what Swordsman does to his cost. Along those lines of thinking, I'd just make the turning of human squad figures into Fanatics a start the game power instead of after dealing a W.
PURE VIGILANCE! All Squad and Common Human figures you control have the personality Fanatical instead of the personality listed on their cards. When Torquemada or a Human figure within three clear sight spaces of Torquemada attacks an adjacent non-human figure with a normal attack, add one automatic skull. MY TERMINATORS ARE WATCHING! After taking a turn with Torquemada, if he inflicted one or more wounds on a non-Human with his normal attack this turn, you may either move and attack with one other Fanatical Human or move with any three other Fanatical Human figures you control. If you still want a unique hero hook (other than Reverend Stryker), maybe craft it so that he pairs up well with the marvel 'nazis' aka Hydra as well. |

Re: The Book of Torquemada (Breathe, baby, breathe)
I think you want to add a Fanatical restriction to the first power.
PURE VIGILANCE! All Squad and Common Human figures you control have the personality Fanatical instead of the personality listed on their cards. When Torquemada or a Fanatical Human figure within three clear sight spaces of Torquemada attacks an adjacent non-human figure with a normal attack, add one automatic skull. I am cool with that. Probably more accurate theme-wise and a bit simpler as well. Thanks. Oh, and do not forget Solomon Kane. He will be Torq's best friend. |

Re: The Book of Torquemada (Breathe, baby, breathe)
I don't really mind Steve Rogers marching behind Torquemada when we literally had HYDRA Cap as a storyline like... less than a year ago. But tweaking the bonus to just be for Common figures or something like that is also fine by me. I do like the two-step bonus to Terminators, though, which could make for some cool blowouts if you set it up right, so I'd hate to lose that.

Re: The Book of Torquemada (Breathe, baby, breathe)
If he is not supposed to affect opponents' attacks, you'll need a "you control" in there.

Re: The Book of Torquemada (Breathe, baby, breathe)
It should work for enemy (Fanatical) Humans. Which is going to be a lot less likely if we go with the Fanatical restriction.
Thoughts on which direction to pursue? I am cool either way. |

Re: The Book of Torquemada (Breathe, baby, breathe)
What direction? I don't think people know precisely what you're talking about.
