Competitive Concerns

Does the design offer worrisome Order marker movement or efficiency (Commander Rogers, Joker (I), Ozymandias)? - N/A

Does the design offer superior Auto wounding (War Machine, Cosmic Cube, Selene)? - N/A

Does the design cause the prevention of abilities (Blob, Polaris, Meteorite)? - N/A

Does the design move opponent's figures (Graviton, Magneto (II), Vulture)? - N/A

Does the design move friendly figures (Angel, Martian Manhunter (I))? - N/A

Does the design boost other figures (outside of a narrowly defined set) (Captain America, Star-Lord, Sage)? - N/A

Does the design have one or more excellent defensive powers (5th Precinct Beat Cops, Magical Defense, Speedball)? - N/A

Does the design auto destroy or take control of other figures in a way that unbalances the design (Psycho-man, Gorgon, Enchantress)? - N/A

Does the design have any other concerns (Magma creating lava tiles, pre re-eval Crow's invulnerability, pre re-eval Mad Thinker Mind Games and limiting design space for Androids)? - N/A

Summary of Any Competitive Concerns/Suggestions for Changes - None

Outside of very narrow Hell Lord synergy, these guys are 100% receivers for synergy.

Consistency Concerns

Name and Identity
Verify character is named in a way that is clear, accurate and feels consistent with the way other characters are named. -

Uniqueness and Type
Verify that the power text reflects the listed uniqueness and type, that the uniqueness fits the character, and that squad size is listed for squads. -

Left Box
If the character's species, class or personality is reused, verify that the character feels thematically consistent with other figures that have that species, class or personality. If they are not reused, verify that there is no pre-existing species, class or personality that would make more sense. -

Size and Height
Verify that the listed size and height are accurate. Standing the mini up next to a stack of tiles, and a few other minis of various sizes, is encouraged. - Don't have the mini yet, but eyeballing pictures they seem Medium 5.

Super Strength and Flying
Verify that these special powers are present if they make sense, and not if they don't. -

New Powers - Names
Verify that any new powers are not using power names identical to, or very similar to, pre-existing powers. Verify that any new powers are actually new and not old powers with new names. - All new, but as I think of it, these guys aren't necessarily "damned," which is very Judeo-Christian. I'll go with "LEGION OF THE LOST" for the first power name.

New Powers - Effects
Verify that the effect and timing of all new powers is clear. Verify that any logical immunities, benefits, or weaknesses (whether those be necessary for thematic or mechanical reasons) are implemented: consider whether defensive powers that work against normal attacks should also work against special attacks, whether or not a power has an elemental component that some figures should resist, and whether or not unliving figures (such as Undead and Androids) should be affected. -

Reused Powers
Verify that the design is reusing powers in place of creating new ones, where reused powers could implement the same theme and mechanics with no differences or only trivial differences. Verify that any reused powers have the correct text. - N/A

Power Level
Verify that the character's movement, attack, range, and defense (in conjunction with any special powers that enhance those stats) feel consistent with the capabilities of characters with analogous powers and abilities. Verify that the character falls into a similar point range to characters with comparative powers and abilities. - Same as Asgardian Warriors, but half the life and slightly slower.

Other than a name tweak, think we're good to go. I believe Ronin mentioned he's picking up the mini, so I'll try to remember to confirm height during Final Editing.

Still another couple of weeks until I can get to them, but I figured while I have a minute...

[Ronin]

I got the mini. Should be good at medium 5, but I'll double check.

[IAmBatman]

Looks good. Pre-yea for initial playtesting.

[Ronin]

Pre-yea as well.

[johnny139]

Oh yeah I always forget that part. I PROPOSE WE MOVE TO INITIAL PLAYTESTING!

[IAmBatman]

This is why we're working to update the procedures ... so we all can start remembering what they are!

[Ronin]

Or at least be able to look em up.

[Scapemage]

Yea for INitial.

[Tornado]

Yea

[Lazy Orang]

Yea

[johnny139]

Oh this passed a few days ago. Good to go now! Should be a couple weeks at most. I've got a studio to myself as of this weekend so I should be able to leave my maps out, which should up my testing output... in theory.
