C3G STANDARD PLAYTEST FEEDBACK FORM

NAME OF THE PLAYTEST UNIT: He doesn’t even look like a pumpkin what’s up with his name

Army Test
Map: Custom
Units: Pumpkinhead(225), Pinhead(335), Freddy(165), Sam(95), Chucky(95), Leatherface(85) (1000) VS Vandal Savage, Reverse-Flash, Deathstroke, Weather Wizard (1000)

Spoiler Alert!

Leatherface and Chucky get a few wounds on Deathstroke. Freddy puts a couple wounds on Reverse-Flash before being pulled onto the battlefield.

The Slashers take out Deathstroke and wound everyone else. Reverse-Flash kills Freddy while Vandal wounds Chucky. Weather Wizard wounds Pinhead and Vandal kills Chucky.

Pumpkinhead enters the battlefield, choosing Pinhead as his Damned. Reverse-Flash puts 3 wounds on Pumpkinhead, so Pumpkinhead ignores 1 and 1 goes to Pinhead. Leatherface wounds Vandal and Pumpkinhead wounds Weather Wizard. Reverse-Flash again wounds Pumpkinhead/Pinhead once each. Pumpkinhead kills Weather Wizard and Chucky resurrects. Reverse-Flash puts 2 then 4 wounds on Pumpkinhead, so ultimately Pumpkinhead takes 1 wound and Pinhead takes 3. This kills Pinhead and Pumpkinhead alongside him.

Reverse-Flash kills Sam and Leatherface kills Vandal. Chucky’s Clingy comes in clutch against Reverse-Flash and he barely takes the win.


Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Chucky (1 wound) wins.

Army Test
Map: Custom
Units: Pinhead(335), Pumpkinhead(225), The Creeper(215), Michael Myers(125), Ghostface(100) (1000) VS Red Ranger, Black Ranger, Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Blue Ranger (1000)

Spoiler Alert!

Michael’s target is Red Ranger. Creeper’s target is also Red Ranger. Ghostface’s obsession is Pink Ranger.

Creeper carries Ghostface up and Ghostface goes for a big attack on Yellow but whiffs. Rangers put 3 wounds on Ghostface. Ghostface and Creeper each wound Black Ranger. Red Ranger takes out Ghostfacem triggering the sequel. Blue Ranger wounds Ghostface. Michael moves towards Red Ranger. The Shape puts 2 wounds on Red. Creeper returns to his card.

Rangers win init and take out Michael as easily as Halloween Ends. Rangers then go after Pinhead, as they need to pile wounds on him before Pumpkinhead enters. Pinhead rolls 0/3 skulls. Rangers put 2 more wounds on Pinhead. Creeper enters the battlefield and takes out Red Ranger. Pink Ranger puts a 4th wound on Pinhead. Creeper is blocked. Michael returns.

Pumpkinhead spawns adjacent to Creeper, choosing Creeper as the Damned. Creeper fails and Ghostface is shot by Pink Ranger when he tries to attack down on Yellow. Black Ranger puts 3 wounds on Creeper (so ultimately 1 on Creeper, 1 on Pumpkinhead). Creeper brings Black to 4 wounds. Blue kills Pinhead. Creeper takes 2 swipes to be blocked. Pink manages a wound on Creeper.

Creeper kills Black Ranger and heals 2. Blue wounds Creeper and Pumpkinhead. The game becomes a bit of a slog, with both sides trading wounds but having lost all their turn efficiency. Rangers go after Pumpkinhead, who has higher defense than Creeper but at least doesn’t trigger Creeper going back to his card.

Rangers bring Creeper to 4 wounds before he kills Pink to heal 2. Pumpkinhead left Creeper on his card until Pink was at 4 wounds and so was an easy kill. Blue puts those 2 wounds right back on Creeper, however.

In a big swing, Blue takes out Creeper via attacking Pumpkinhead. Michael has no OMs and so is an easy kill for Blue.


Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Blue Ranger (2 wounds), Yellow Ranger win.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: Fun design, opens some unique strategies both for playing him and playing against him. He can be played passively or you can take advantage of the nasty power of Mean and Unforgiving. Protecting Pinhead definitely seems like the best strategy. The Creeper combo was a lot of fun though it ultimately lost.

2 reasonably close games, and both games felt like they switched directions in who was going to win multiple times throughout the matches. I would not change anything.

Nice. Thanks!

Who won? List figures remaining in the winning army (include life remaining for heroes): Pinhead 3 wounds/3 life left, Pumpkinhead 1 wound/7 life left

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: Pumpkinhead is a really interesting design. He went 1-1 in two very long games. I was able to use all his powers. Mean and Unforgiving is nice for auto-wounds and repositioning. He has 8 life which could be more than needed, but its not a negative. I think his Damned partner will always die first. In both games I picked Pinhead as he is the most important figure on the team. I think he's another great option in the Tormentor group. No recommended changes.

[Tornado]

Nice. Just watched the original movie again and could see fire resistant. Do not remember if it comes up in the sequels.

[Arkham]

I think he's pretty much invulnerable across the board, so Heat Resistance added on top of UR probably isn't necessary?

Thanks for the games! And yes, 8 life is most often going to see the Damned die first, killing him by proxy, which is absolutely ideal as that's how he's killed off in the films.

I propose a vote to Final Editing
