See what I have to deal with around here, @Tornado ?

[Tornado]

Not sure the mini really qualifies as large. I can measure for you later.

2nd!

[Arch-vile]

[Tornado]

This passes.

[Yodaking]

I didn't even see that a vote was going on. Busy day here, fought a kitchen sink for a few hours.

[Tornado]

Did you win?

Read through my Alpha Flight collection, well mostly skimmed after Sasquatch dies the first time and wow, they really love to do body swaps.
Anyways feeling good about a little lower power level here. He is strong but nowhere near Hulk's level from the comics I read. Luckily I have the one that breaks down his origin and where Tanaraq gets put down by Snowbird Sasquatch.
Going to try him as-is at first but I can see possibly dropping his Defense another point and upping his Life 2 or more. Also think his Move could stand to go up a point, he is pretty nimble and quick for his size and he lacks the Leaping power most figures of this type possess.
Should his personality also change when Tanaraq is Unleashed? From what I read I would go with Confident perhaps.

[Yodaking]

Yeah, new sink is installed now.

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 instead of what is listed on this card.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: The limited number of Operatives makes him a little difficult to test and the Operatives that do exist are pretty top notch. The Apollo and Midnighter combo is pretty incredible, pretty sure they could have won that game with Judge Death instead of Sasquatch.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: I like him but it is sort of hard to utilize him. Sasquatch is your final assault wave figure who tries to turn the tide after everyone else is dead which means it he never gets to utilize too much synergy. Tested him as Medium 6 instead of Large but it really did not factor into these tests. Should be good at 300 for more testing.

[Ronin]

Looking good. Dug my figure out and I think Medium 6 is the right call.
