The Book of Anti-Monitor

[IAmBatman]

I'd love to keep him in the sanctum if Griff and Hahma are willing ... I definitely think a crazy, "big" design like this is something it'd be fun to keep to ourselves.
Oh, and poor rolls doomed Anti-Monitor against the JLA. I find when going up against him it's nice to have a hard to kill figure locking him down to occupy his time as a damage soak. Superman and Thor both fill this roll well.
He lost by a number of points to an army costed at 20 less than him, but I think he still feels worth his points (and I didn't even roll for Erase From Existence, which could've wildly swung the game at any point).

[IAmBatman]

Added a Fan Four test! Anti-Monitor kicked some butt in this one (but it felt fun and balanced! Fan Four were never completely out of the game).

[Hahma]

So far 1600 looks pretty good for him.

It was cool hearing the play-by-play live action report of Hulk beating the snot out of Anit-Monitor yesterday. Good stuff.

[IAmBatman]

Yep, it's interesting - the best counter to him actually seems to be other heavy hitters. They have the ability to stick around and soak up damage without losing a lot of Order Markers, and they hit hard enough to put several wounds on him at once.
I've got to figure out a good squad test to run tonight ... if I'm happy with the results, I'll probably be ready to wrap this test up.

Omnicron Snipers x16 (1600) - 48 hexes
- Deadly Shot

Einar Imperium x11 + 1 (1586.7) - 34 hexes
- Double Attack

Protectors of Ullar x14 + 2 (1613.3) - 44 hexes
- Combined Arbalest

Minions of Utgar x14 + 2 (1613.3) - 44 hexes
- Deadly Strike and 6 def

Microcorp Agents x16 (1600) - 48 hexes
- Sighting and Stealth Armor 15

Ah, I ended up going with a HYDRA team before I read this! Thanks for the ideas, though!

[IAmBatman]

OK, added one more test! I'm happy with him at this point. He won some and he lost some, but he feels like he's priced just about right at 1,600. After the 24 hours (from right now) pass, I'll be proposing him for the ERB unless there are any objections!

[A3n]

I don't think you have to wait 24hrs after the initial playtest as the ERB vote is up to 48hrs. Either way you have my YEA.

Cheers

[IAmBatman]

I'll have to review the rules when I get a chance, but all preemptive yeas welcome and appreciated.

From the rules:

[IAmBatman]

OK, I'm going to fudge this one a bit, because I think that everyone seems to be pretty on board with where we are on this thus far. I propose we move Anti-Monitor to the ERB phase!

[Hahma]

yea
