The Cybermen are one of the inevitable conclusions of the universe. A perfect representation of the idea that humankind, in their desperate scramble for survival, might one day throw aside everything that made them human in the first place. No matter their origin, all Cybermen share two common traits; a cold emotionless husk of a brain, and an unwavering belief that all of reality would be better if it just became like them.

ELECTRO-TOUCH 16
When a Cyberman inflicts one or more wounds on an adjacent Unique Hero with its normal attack, you may roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 16 or higher, you may remove one unrevealed Order Marker at random from that Unique Hero's Army Card. Figures with the Electrically Charged special power are not affected by Electro-Touch.

CYBER LEGION
Instead of attacking with the Cybermen you moved this turn, you may attack with any 3 Emotionless Cyborgs you control.

I guess I have to continue doing your Who art.

Cyber Legion is a cool power. Is that really not a mechanic we've used before?

We have something similar on Civilians, but it's different.

If we have used the mechanic before, I can always just change the references to Cybermen into references to Emotionless Cyborgs.

I guess so.

Since I now the Character Options figure is a little rare for a squad figure, the people who make the Doctor Who Miniatures Game sell the individual sprues for the Cybermen (and Daleks) from that game. They are 40mm figures, so a little bit taller than the typical Scape/Clix figure. But if you're like me and don't particularly mind scale in your stompy robot men, or doing some painting and assembling, I think they might be the way to go.

I'll look into if for you

All fixed. Links were wrong.

Not that it would happen every game, but removing 3 OM's at once seems problematic. definitely pair them up with initiative boosters and give them OM1.

Definitely something I'm keeping an eye on. The Hulkbuster Soldiers have a similar thing going on, but they have that high D20 roll. If it's coming in too strong, I have a few other ideas for handling the power. I don't really care about the specifics of the mechanics, as long as it captures the zappy taser hand theme.

The effect of this SA is basically identical to Taser Strike SA.

TASER STRIKE SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 5.
If an opponent's figure would receive one or more wounds from this special attack, you may choose not to inflict those wounds and remove an Order Marker at random from that figure's card. Figures with the Electrically Charged special power are not affected by this special attack.
