The Book of King Ghidorah

[Tornado]

0-4 vs. Godzilla and Kong but two were very close.
Leaning towards going to 12 Life here but going to run a few more tests.
His threat range is impressive. There is no hiding from Ghidorah.

[IAmBatman]

Excited for this guy.

[Tornado]

His tail is a pain to play around. It is so heavy that the figure has to sit on it, though I think it may be possible to mount him on a double base 'on his toes' and keep him balanced.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Pretty good. Felt a little soft at times but if your dice are hot you can mow down the opposition with a quickness. His speed and range of his SA are superb, making him good at kiting and at hunting. Thinking one more Life maybe.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: Fun to play. If you can get high ground to use his normal attack, the opponent is in trouble. Wing Lightning Bolts has awesome potential but just as easily could be a waste but was pretty consistently in the middle for me. Better against huge figures or when you have a few smaller targets and at least one has only one Life left.
Gravity Beams SA is solid. Plenty of range and a nice go to after he loses two heads. It allows you kite or draw out the enemy or grab some high ground.

[Tornado]

I definitely suggest basing this figure. If you can get him up on his toes in the right spot, he will balance and it will get his tail off the ground.
I ended up putting wedges under his heels.

[IAmBatman]

Looks good. One more Life makes sense to me.

[Tornado]

I propose public testing.

[MrNobody]

Yea

[IAmBatman]

yea

[tcglkn]

Yea.

[Tornado]

Thank you sirs. May I have another?

[Lord Pyre]

One Yea for you.
