The Book of Judge Hershey

[Karat]

Getting things ready to go. Will fill it in as I complete it.

NAME OF THE TEST UNIT Judge Hershey


Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes
- What should be the unit's point value? 200-210?
- Give a brief overview. The early Batman kill really hurt Graviton's chances here. Having mltiple uses of the APR shot and the ability to stay extremely mobile and flexible was absolutely killer here.

Spoiler Alert!

In T2 Bats moved up, and Hershey sent Dredd in to unleash a APR on Graviton and Bats Giving Graviton a wound and slaughtering Bats (13 for ES and a whiff!). In T3 Graviton moved up tossing Dredd into the water, and Hershey sent Anderson forward who missed Gravton with an APR.

In T1 Hershey activated Dredd who is affected by a Gravitational Grasp and settles for firing off some Incendiary rounds at Graviton both shots missing, and Graviton threw Dredd back by Anderson for a wound and threw Hershey for a wound.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: She feels balanced as is and I would pass her anywhere from 190-210 which tells me that the 200 earmark is more than likely spot on. I will definitely be drafting her in the future.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: She brings a lot to the table. The mass movement is super helpful early on and it's really nice to be able to switch between a Lawmen and a Judge as the need presents itself. She is definitely better with Judges though as with some careful planning you can get off 3 volley's of APR shots a round which can be absolutely devestating. The one thing I think that helps keep the Judges from being a top tier factional choice is only getting to take a turn with a single figure, but i do think it works well as is and am happy with how this faction has and is progressing. Well done.

results are in.

Awesome. Thanks.
Yeah the no bonding for Judges certainly keeps them in check but there is Axe Cop.

Lawmaster will give them an extra attack so that should be the icing on the cake here.
Could see doing Rookie Judges with bonding someday.

Pretty cool that Hershey, Anderson and Dredd are 600.

I propose Final Editing at 200.

[IAmBatman]

yea

Yea

Quick little edit.

CHIEF JUDGE
After revealing a numbered Order Marker on this card and instead of taking a turn with Judge Hershey, you may either take a turn with any other Judge or Lawman Hero figure you control, or move normally up to 8 Judge and/or Lawman Hero figures you control. Criminal figures roll one less die when defending against an attack from Judge Hershey.

For pasteability:

Updated. Thanks.

[Arch-vile]

Looks like a pretty even win/loss ratio with a variety of armies. I'm happy with that.

Yea

[Yodaking]

yea

This passes
Pretty open for the background. Mega City 1 is a futuristic city but it has tons of areas that are more contemporary. Her mini is pretty horrible so good luck there.

Not sure what you mean. Put her in the middle of a breakdance competition and she'll look right at home.
