Awesome. Love it, love it, love it. Battle Maneuver still mentions Evasive Manuver though.

[Griffin]

Updated.

[A3n]

looks good to me, except in Battle Maneuver (is this how you foreigners spell manoeuvre?) you need a space in "upto" it's actually 2 words.

Cheers

[tcglkn]

Yea Maneuver is correctly spelled in American English.

Should we go with some Classic 'Scape Sculpts for these guys? Maybe a Raelin, or a Sentinel of Jandar, or a Protector of Ullar. Possibly even some Einar Imperium. They are units many of us already have.

The only reason I am against this is the size. Those Kyrie figures are much bigger than Hawkman and Hawkgirl, also, those figures are sooo iconically known as Valhalla Kyrie, it would never sit well with me. Oh, and these Hawman figures are really cheap and plentiful btw.

Yeah, I know. And the fact that some people are using them for Hawkman definately was another reason I made this suggestion.

EDIT: BTW, you have an extra "n" in Thanagar in the Thread's title.

So I use OM 1 on Hawkgirl, don't inflict any wounds, so I can take a turn with these guys, but then I can move Hawkgirl after that turn with disengage? Definitely need to include that in their cost.

Exactly. The idea is that this squad is a "backup" unit for Hawkman and Hawkgirl if they fail, then they also set up Hawkman and Hawkgirl for a future swoop. And yes, their powers will definitely be considered when determining their cost. Each army test should have at least one of the two Heroes in it each time. I don't expect these guys to be very cheap.

Just noticed Griff lowered the price to 90 points which is probably closer than 150 points was I just liked the idea of this army:
Hawkman 225
Hawkgirl 225
Hawkmen x3 450
900 points total.
