Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion

[caps]

I would like to submit @Pumpkin_King 's Jim Whitecloud.

Card text:

Spoiler Alert!

NAME = JIM WHITECLOUD
GENERAL = AQUILLA
PLANET = EARTH
SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = LAWMAN
PERSONALITY = FEARLESS
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

5 LIFE
5 MOVE
7 RANGE
2 ATTACK
2 DEFENSE
70 POINTS

LAW OF THE LAND
While there is at least one Lawman (other than Jim Whitecloud) or Outlaw figure on the battlefield, Jim Whitecloud has the class of Lawman in addition to what is listed on this Army Card.

TOMAHAWK 2
When Jim Whitecloud attacks an adjacent figure, He receives 2 additional attack die.

LASSO 11
After moving and before attacking, you may choose a small or medium figure within 3 clear sight spaces of Jim whose base is no more than 6 levels above Jim's height or 6 levels below Jim's base, and roll the D20. If you roll an 11 or higher, place that figure on any empty same-level space adjacent to Jim. If the chosen figure is engaged when it is moved by Lasso 11, it will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

Known Synergies:
Mohican Rivertribe
Teeth of the Makwa
Clayton Pierce
Johnny Shotgun Sullivan
James Murphy
Guilty McCreech
Louis Mad Dog Malone
Kate Crawford
Garrett Burns
Josie Whistletop
Cal the Smuggler
Tombstone Gunslinger
Ebon Armor

Balance/Playability: Jim, with his Tomahwak is the highest single target damage Cowboy, and for the Native Americans he ties with Brave Arrow. This makes him a nice Can Opener for the Cowboys, and an appealing option for the Mohicans. He's still in line with the power level of the Cowboys, being a higher single target attack, but lacking either the range, number of attacks, or area damage of most of the other Cowboys, so there aren't any obvious places where he's clearly better than anyone without also having a downside. The Mohicans love another option beyond the Makwa Tribesman, but the Makwa Tribesmen is still an appealing option due to number of attacks, and durability.

Figure used is Red Wolf #039 Secret Wars - Heroclix Marvel Battleworld Singles

Availability:
4 on Troll and Toad
9 on CoolStuffInc
1 on NobleKnight games
6 on UntappedGames
12 on PopsCultureShoppe.com
And 40+ through various sellers on Ebay.com not including the above stores some of which also sell on ebay.

Why does this post say that Jim Whitecloud has a class of Lawman if he has a power that also conditionally gives him that class? Is he supposed to have a class of Tribesman or something?

Wow that typo was missing for a long time. Yeah, he's a Tribesman, who becomes a lawman is he is with other lawmen.

I believe High Forest Vanguard should be a Unique Squad.

Oops, they are meant to be a Common Squad like the other named version, I just messed up with the card image generator the 2nd time; I will fix it.

EDIT: Here we go (also corrected in the original post):

Just finished playing a game with Glads and realized that the second power on this card should probably be called "Melee Attack 1".

I know I keep bringing this up every once in a while...but it needs repeating on occasion. Those are some old designs...

That said, I know it's not easy...so appreciate your hard work!

EDIT: scorpions could use some more love

Life has been busy for me but I am hoping to get an Agrith vote out in the near future.

I have up votes on 3 of 5 of those. However if you would submit some worse designs 2 down votes are lest testing and down votes tend to be faster to arrive at.
