Re: The Book of Dalek Drones (Public Playtesting)
Have you put up a report? I don't see any tests from you in the thread. Not sure if this is something we forgot to mention, but it's totally fine for you to sign up for a spot and test these guys - actually sort of expected for Ally LDs.
We have a Hero/Sidekick run the initial for Allies, but that's mainly a safety valve to make sure everything's kosher. We like to see the LD run a set of tests as well, to make sure they're happy with everything (which it sounds like you are). If you've got results you can post, I'd encourage you to put em up - they'll definitely help move things along. (And if you don't, I'd recommend signing yourself up!) |

He ran some early tests on the design concepts before the initial PT was run. Don't recall how much, if any, the design was changed since then. |

I’m really hoping to fill up that 3rd testing slot, life’s just been crazy recently. |

Anyone you want me to run these dudes with particularly?

Re: The Book of Dalek Drones (Public Playtesting)
Any sort of cheap screen to protect them (Civilians, Beat Cops, Ants, etc.) seems like a must.
Other than that, just try to get in a good mix of SS and non-SS enemies. |

C3G STANDARD PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM
NAME OF THE TEST UNIT Dalek Drones ___________________________________________________________ Army Test 1 Map: Custom Units: Dalek Drones x 2(300), Diablo(140), Jean Grey(180), Invisible Woman(215), Blob(165) (1000) vs. Luke Cage(190), Iron Fist(260), Shang-Chi(230), Daredevil II(200), Firestar(120) (1000)
Spoiler Alert!
___________________________________________________________ Army Test 2 Map: Custom Units: Dalek Drones x 2(300), Blob(165), Graviton(400) (865) vs. Cyclops II(240), Angel(90), Deadpool(285), Psylocke(250) (865)
Spoiler Alert!
___________________________________________________________ THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: The Dalek Drones are pretty decent if you build an army around them to keep the opponents locked down to let them do their thing. I think they're better in bigger point armies to be able to get the right support to keep the opponent busy. 1,600+ point armies I could see them really doing well. As-is though, I think they could be 120-130 points. |

Re: The Book of Dalek Drones (Public Playtesting)
Their defensive special is cool and consistent, but if you see a 3rd skull on attack, they have 0 chance. So yeah, ultimately they do well if they have a team of lockdown units to keep them from being attacked. As soon as they are attacked, they likely won't last long.

Re: The Book of Dalek Drones (Public Playtesting)
Hmmm...fragile isn’t really a word I think should apply to the Daleks, and I don’t know if they should need a screen. I’ll probably wait for the next set of tests, but that might suggest changes should be made.
@Yodaking
could you weigh in too? Would you say they seem fragile?

Re: The Book of Dalek Drones (Public Playtesting)
I think that is relative to what they are facing. Against weaker figures they are really tough, as they are in the show, but against more powerful figures, which they do not normally face, they can get crumpled.

Re: The Book of Dalek Drones (Public Playtesting)
Yeah, that’s what I’m aiming for. Regular humans and even low-level superheroes will struggle against them, but Supes, Thor, or even Wolverine can cut through their armor like butter.

Agree completely with T's assessment. If you send Civilians, Street Thugs, Beat Cops, etc. against them that 3 skulls needed is going to feel very formidable. Thor and Superman are not concerned about them though, they are just another generic troop to destroy on their way to fight the troops boss. Then the mid-level guys and gals like a Black Widow can take them out fairly efficiently but it may take more than one attack roll from time to time and since they come in waves the Dalek's can certainly do some damage with that death ray of theirs.
