I like this take a bit better than what's in the SP. Not that familiar with the character, but this way differentiates the bonuses enough that it feels more worth it to do the "Supes or Damian, but each one grants a different bonus" thing.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, that looks pretty clean.

[LordVenoc]

Yeah sleeping on it, I definitely like that and it helps a smidge with keeping costs down. If there are no objections, I'll update to that post breathing period.

[LordVenoc]

Alright. Seeing now that Krypto can move on Kryptonian turns, I think Superman I, Jon, and Krypto could make a really fun 600 point pod, so getting him down to 120 sounds like a really good goal here (plus keeps him round with Damian).

Alright SP updated with that take, and dropped the move down to 6, as looking at some of the sevens, I think he's believable at that speed given his young age. I'm not sure it gets it down to 120, or if there's even a decent way to get him there. I'll stew on that a bit and once I can get around to it, hit the checklists.

Unless that trio is especially thematic, I wouldn't worry too much about hitting a specific point total. Loving these changes by the way! I'm excited to get to testing this one.

[Lord Pyre]

Cool changes! I dig it.

Superboy with his Dad and his dog? Yeah. Its pretty darn thematic. The Krypto for Damian isn't as much, but still at that value you can add in Batman I for 800, or make Clark and Bruce their VIIs for 900.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, him and Krypto/Damian hitting an even 200 is pretty cool and gives you a lot of army building possibilities.

Here's a cool one if you want to go all the way to 1,000:

Krypto, Robin (Damian), Jon Kent, Robin (Tim), Superman (I), Batman (I)

Or go Batman II and throw in the car for 1300.

Yeah. His most thematic allies are Damian (80), Superman (400, 450, 440), Krypto (80) and some undesigned folks like Lois, Maya Ducard, and Kathy Branden. So I lean toward really wanting that 120, as 170 would definitely be too high for him. Definitely shouldn't be only 40 points shy of Conner. I'm assuming the write up right now is probably sitting around 130 with the move drop and the change to Heat Vision.

[Yodaking]

120 sounds like a good plan.
