Army Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? PASS
- What should be the unit's point value? 120
- Give a brief overview. LexCorps are a great competitive squad. They moved around the map quickly and their attack bonus helped Croc do some real damage in the mid game. The most effective use I found for them was tossing a battlement (since they have SS) at an opponent's figure and then shooting that battlement to put wounds on multiple figures clustered together. They took out basically all the Skrull Warriors this way and a a wound or 2 on Puppet Master and Super Skrull too.
Map: Sewer Labyrinth
Units: Army 1: Doctor Octopus, Black Mask, Hush, Killer Croc, Bodyguards x3, LexCorps x2 (1,010)
Army 2: Super Skrull, Skrull Warriors x2, Skrull Infiltrators x3, Solomon Grundy, Puppet Master (1,010)

How does a battlement kill Grundy? And if so, did he come back again?

[Good Pig]

That must have been a typo, was a late night. Grundy didn't die from that, probably took 1 wound. The destroyed battlement when laying face down is destroyed and triggers the Debris that put an auto wound on each adjacent figure.

[Griffin]

Thanks GP. That second Army Test should be one heck of a match up! Raw Power - VS - Longevity of Life. I am giving the edge to the Vigilantes and their Life point advantage and abilities to avoid death.

[IAmBatman]

Not to mention, Absorbing Man will be hard to get a return on investment with when the other side lacks heavy hitters.

[Griffin]

Thanks, though I am not sure how you can justify 150 from the first test. I think 130 is looking solid for them from these mixed results.

Their so powerful in defense. Attacks not great but, with 6 move you can usually pull Height Adv easily. That's my suggestion, didn't play any H2H at 150 though.

[IAmBatman]

I agree that those army tests in no way justify 150. 130, sure. And we can average that in with the other results.

[IAmBatman]

Based on all the results I've read thus far (holding final opinion for GP's last army test) I'd lean towards 125.
