Re: The Book of Major Q9

1) Choose one of the most powerful units in the game. 2) Give him an additional power to make him even more dangerous. Heck, I think Q9 would be more balanced if he was moved up to 200 points without any changes. With a stealth jetpack? I'd say 280-300, and then he should be playtested and adjusted. And why stealth? Come on, admit it, your brother is in love with Q9 and wants to run him single handed against your whole army. |

Re: The Book of Major Q9
I gotta say, when it comes to Q9, I'm not all that impressed. I've taken him down fast in most games I've played against him, and if I draft him, he isn't good (probably my fault). I find Cyprien a lot scarier, heck, even Moltenclaw is better than Q9 most of the time. High life and lower defense can beat out the guys with high defense and low life because luck isn't as big an issue, because you come to rely on keeping the figure out of danger, not hoping you'll block all attacks.

Re: The Book of Major Q9
I realized in a game a couple of weeks ago that Q9 has a good chance of killing Kravs at range. With his Special Attack, you can get nine shots off each turn. Since the only way to kill a Krav at range is for that Krav to roll blanks, you only need one skull to do the job. I say roll the dice one at a tie against the KMAs, they will strike out sooner than later.

Q9 kills everyone over time and is only trumped by other superpowers (ie: 4th mass, krug, AE...). He is definitely one of the best all-round units in the game.

Re: The Book of Major Q9
On Q9's card it says " . . . choose any figure in range and attack." Which led someone I was playing against to insist vehemently that it meant Q9 could attack non adjacent figures even while he was engaged. Could someone give me a proper explanation or hopefully a link to where the designers posted about the truth or lack thereof to this interpretation? This made an already broken design even more over powered and ruined a friendly, casual match.

Baseline Rules
From the Underdark Rulebook. (the most up to date version of the rules)
Engaged figures: If one of your figures is engaged with one or more other figures, your figure may attack only those figures. Note: A figure does not need Line of Sight to attack a figure that it is engaged with or adjacent to Special Attacks: Special attacks can never be modified by Glyphs, height advantage, or other special powers. A special attack is used instead of a normal attack. In general, special powers don't break any base rules unless they explicitly say so. Admittedly, Scape wording is not the most precise but it's the base rules where it says it and special attacks and powers don't let you get around the rules unless it says so. (with an exception for things like Taelord's Stealth Flying which has been officially errataed to have the wording on Einar Imperium) ~Dysole, hoping that helps My Twitch Channel where I play Scape and other things My YouTube Channel where the games get uploaded later Dysole's Draft Rankings Map Thread (Not responsible for psychic damage) Customs Battle Reports This sentence is seven words long. This sentence is not seven words long. |

Re: The Book of Major Q9
I'll add to that that the legal principle that "[i]f there is a conflict between a general provision and a specific provision, the specific provision prevails." Dysole has given two general rules that indicate that an engaged figure's special attack cannot target a non-adjacent enemy. There is nothing *more specific* on the card that could be read to be creating an exception to those general rules.

Re: The Book of Major Q9
So I want to do a 16 card draft format with Q9 included and a ridiculous number of Q9 counters to make new players think Q9 is the worst figure in the game. What figures should I include? (Raelin and rats will not be present, so there actually could be a decent number of counters. It would be a 500 point, 16 figure format.) So far I'm thinking:
Axegrinders Iron Golem Nhah Scrih Cultists Jotun Omnicron Repulsors Any other good ones? I'm thinking of including the Venoc Vipers as an Axegrinder counter and to make Q9 a feasible draft pick. Handle origin: I used to film comedy skits with my friends. I didn't want any cursing in them, so I made up new insults, like "dendrik". Then Sir Denrick came out, and the rest is history. |
