Custom Unit Playtesting Exchange

He looks great against an Orc army. His powers really improve him beyond what you would believe he's worth if you just look at his stats. I think that this justifies his higher price tag.

Yeah; I tried to balance this one around the strength of his special powers, but I'm not sure if it's testing right. Luckily, people in this thread are willing to give put fresh eyes on designs. I'm glad that you can see my intentions, though.

Here's my report. I had originally intended to play only two games, but I was dissatisfied by the results of one, so I squeezed in a third test last night.

I'm looking for a playtest on the following unit:

Spoiler Alert!

The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Invincible Iron Man set. The name of the figure is Hammer Industries Drone. The figure's base is single-spaced.

NAME = SoLAR
GENERAL = VALKRILL
PLANET = ALPHA PRIME
SPECIES = SOULBORG
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = RAIDER
PERSONALITY = RECKLESS
SIZE/HEIGHT = LARGE 7

LIFE = 3
MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 3
DEFENSE = 5
POINTS = 125


LIGHTSPEED BOOST
If SoLAR moves in a straight line this turn, he may add 4 to his Move. If SoLAR ends this move adjacent to an opponent's figure, add 1 to his Attack for every two spaces he moved this turn, to a maximum of +4.

ACROBATIC DEFENSE
After defending with SoLAR, you may move him up to 1 space for each shield rolled.

UNSTABLE FUEL CELLS
Whenever SoLAR receives at least 1 wound, before removing him from the battlefield, you must roll an unblockable attack die against each adjacent figure. Then, if SoLAR is not destroyed, roll an unblockable attack die against him.

Please restrict yourself to Classic/VC units. I don't expect a fast test; I myself don't have the most time outside of weekends.

If SoLAR takes a wound from Unstable Fuel Cells does it trigger Unstable Fuel Cells to activate again?

Yep. I find the risk of losing the entire unit to a stray potshot or LEA desirable, but I'm open to evidence to the contrary.
