Re: The Book of Kantono Daishi
Another version of the same sculpt is The Sensei #026 from the same set (Heroclix: DC Brave and the Bold). The Sensei appears to be darker and a bit more blue, though it might also be less expensive: when CSI last had them in stock, League Assassin was 0.99 while The Sensei was 0.49.

Re: The Book of Kantono Daishi
I'm getting ready to print a batch of rectangular army cards, including KD, and I need some help understanding his special power.
One issue I'm trying to resolve is this: The word "Leadership" in a Heroscape special power always means increasing other figures' Move values. Here is every such use of the word (except on KD, who has broken the convention):
In looking for a substitute word for Leadership, I realized that I also don't understand why this power would be Dishonorable. It doesn't use that word in the same way Isamu does, and since a Jonin is a high-ranking Ninja, I don't see how bonding with Ninjas is inherently dishonorable. It's confusing. Since this power is bonding with extra conditions, the convention established by units such as Axegrinders, Dreadguls, and Gorillitroopers would indicate a power name of Ninja Strategic Bonding. But there must have been some reason that the conventions were ignored... can somebody explain the theme to me, so I know what story it is I'm dealing with? Thanks in advance...

Re: The Book of Kantono Daishi
I'll send you a PM with a bit more info, but the idea is that Kantono is a disgraced Ninja who has (dishonorably) survived a mission that he failed.
After training with Samurai (hence the counter strike) and various other exploits, he's begun to be associated with Ninjas again, although he can't be openly seen with them (or something like that). I agree that Leadership is a confusing name. Thankfully, Dishonorable isn't a personality, or it would be even more confusing. A better parallel than Strategic Bonding would be Mind Link (from Ulginesh), Kato Katusro's Command (from Kato Katsuro), or Sifu (from Master Win Chiu Woo), because those all involve taking multiple turns, whereas Strategic Bonding is always a single turn. There's no real pattern in those names. Perhaps you could do something like Jonin's Command? I think if this passed the SoV today, the power would be renamed. That's been more of a recent development in our process, though. |
