The Book of Isamu

[Eclipse]

One of the two figures this wave I consider "potentially broken".

Is the other Marcu? But yes, I agree, he(Isamu) seems broken on paper.

Isn't Isamu Carr's nemesis? Because to me, it seems a little odd that he gets +2 attack against Jandar and not Vydar. I understand the whole Utgar vs. Jandar (bad vs. good), but I think they could've worked the whole archenemy thing in.

No, it's another guy. I think someone might have a link to a thread made about it or something. But there's a pic of him. He's like a mix of Kaemon Awa and Agent Carr.

EDIT: Here's the pic

No, that's currently nobody. Just some concept art that's not linked to any character yet.

Isamu is Carr's nemesis. As found in the Carr Tips & Tricks:

In the first commercials for Heroscape, we showed what happened to many of the Heroes just prior to them being transported to Valhalla. Most were locked in combat and were teleported just before their demise. Carr however, was about to eat a Candy Bar when he was teleported. Many people have asked how Carr would have been destroyed while eating a Candy Bar. No, the Candy Bar was not poisoned. In reality, Carr’s archrivals, the Twilight Clan were hidden throughout his apartment, ready to pounce under orders from their shadowy leader Isamu. Not much is known about him because he disappeared shortly after Agent Carr… His whereabouts are unknown.

No, that is just a sketch from the sculptor. We know nothing about that sketch...even if it is an upcoming unit.

Isamu is, according to the HS website the leader of the Nija Clan that was hunting Carr just before he got sucked up by Vydar.

I predict lots and lots of grumbling from opponents. He's very cool and packs way too much power for 10 points, but I guess I'd rather him be underpriced than overpriced. It will be nice to see another A+ figure in the power rankings.

A+?!?! spider_poison's gonna have to make a new grade for Isamu: A++

Marcu will also be in that group.

This guy's worst foe would be anything with counterstrike...

[dragonfire9788]

My for this guy.

Isamu: Low cost, vanish. For 10 points he could have an attack of six (at the highest it could be higher than 9). The only thing wrong is his life and defense. He wouldn't last long with bad defense rollers such as myself. A

I'll take five or six attack dice over 5 defense any day.

Heck, if this guy wounds anybody at all he'll have earned his cost. Off the top of my head I can't think of a single figure that has wounds that cost less than 10 points. Can anyone help my feeble memory or am I correct in recalling that all wounds cost 10 points or more?

Edit: I found one! Marcu! Is he the only one though? He's 20 points for 6 life...meaning a wound on him only costs 3 and 2/3 points.
