Re: Zetacron Revealed

I see that he is a scout, so he will benefit from the VW, which is good, but I was hoping for some more powers.

Re: Zetacron Revealed

But more abilities means higher cost. I'm liking him as a sniper at 60 points. A great alternative to Dead Eye Dan.

Re: Zetacron Revealed

Hmm. I think I'm going to have to sleep on this one and think about it. It's a cheap big figure, which is always interesting, like Me-Burq-Sa. And he's certainly got the range to wreak havoc.

Re: Zetacron Revealed

Meh...

He's quite the sniper, but I, too, was hoping he'd be a greater hero.

Re: Zetacron Revealed

Range 8 with 2 dice (usually 3 if played correctly). Potential for some great damage for only 60 points. A good figure to keep near Raelin (Normal or Experienced) and on elevation. Being a large figure and a soulborg allows him/it to ignore a lot of abilities from other units.

Another well balanced figure. Great job to both the designers and play testers, imo.

Newb.

Re: Zetacron Revealed

Love the Scout category. Get him with VW and he'll be moving fast and shooting far with Deadly Shot.

The ability is unimpressive, but I do like the cost and stats.
This one will be an interesting 60-points.

He's going to fit in good with VW an VV!

Truth hinted at "not being disappointed" and thinking about what is to come. Hopefully he will be like MBS and get a squad to bond with him. Maybe Jandar Soulborg Hero Bonding?

Anyway though, one good thing about him is that he is Large, which gives him the most immunities out of all sizes, and being a soulborg gives him the most immunities out of all classes.

Re: Zetacron Revealed

Interesting note: by making him fit thematically with the Venoc Warlord, you have more thematic linking of the Snipers/Vipers pack! Yay for building a cool thematic, synergetic army with fewer packs.

Re: Zetacron Revealed

I guess the key to this guy is to boost him up.

Finn's spirit would be perfect for him, then get him on height, or a glyph. 4A double skulls would be pretty nice, and not too difficult to accomplish.

Re: Zetacron Revealed

60 points!!!! I don't know if I am happy or sad. He does seem like a good 60 point filler. Being a LARGE SOULBORG for only 60 points should make him last alittle while on the field.

Re: Zetacron Revealed

He may not be that "exciting" or have any bonding with the Omnicrons (why not??), but he is a figure that I think will play really well for 60 points. Like someone earlier mentioned, a good alternative to DED. Bonding with VW and Soulborg immunities...

He will play well, but I too was hoping for that nasty 140 point Omincron-enhancing menace.
