The figure used for this unit is a plastic army helicopter from Imperial Toys Military Defense Set.​

_________________________________________________________________​

Character Bio - From the military fantasies of Green Lanterns, comes the creative physical manifestation of the Helicopter Gunship - a powerful military attack helicopter that shoots long-range missiles and has a powerful machine gun for when battles get up close. This Helicopter Gunship is a non-sentient construct made completely out of Green Energy that flows from a Green Power ring and the one that wears it.

-Rulings and Clarifications-

-Combinations and Synergies-

Incoming Synergy:

  • As a figure that starts the game off the battlefield, Green Construct has these Off-the-Battlefield Synergies.
  • As an Energy Construct, Green Construct has these Energy Construct Synergies.
Outgoing Synergy:
  • Due to the Green Construct Creation special power, Green Construct can only be placed on the battlefield before taking a turn with a Green Lantern. Current Green Lanterns.
  • Due to the Green Construct Control special power, Green Construct can only take a turn instead of attacking with a Green Lantern. Current Green Lanterns.

Re: The Book of Green Construct: Helicopter Gunship - Design

NAME = GREEN CONSTRUCT
SECRET IDENTITY = HELICOPTER GUNSHIP

SPECIES = ENERGY
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = CONSTRUCT
PERSONALITY = UPLIFTING

SIZE/HEIGHT = LARGE 6

LIFE = 2

MOVE = 4
RANGE = 7
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 5

POINTS = 130

GREEN CONSTRUCT CREATION
Green Constructs do not start the game on the battlefield. After revealing an Order Marker on Green Lantern's Army Card, you may immediately place one Green Construct in your army that is not on the battlefield on any empty space within 3 clear sight spaces of that Green Lantern. You may not create any additional Green Constructs this turn. If you no longer control any Green Lanterns, destroy all Green Constructs you control.

GREEN CONSTRUCT CONTROL
After revealing an Order Marker on Green Lantern's Army Card, instead of attacking with that Green Lantern, you may take a turn with any Green Construct you control. Green Construct may only attack, move, or take a turn in this manner. You may not take any additional turns with other Green Constructs this turn.

HEAVY MACHINE GUN SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 5. Attack 4.
If this Green Construct inflicts one or more wounds with this special attack, it may attack again with this special attack. This Green Construct may continue attacking with this special attack until it does not inflict a wound. It may not attack the same figure more than once.

:lol: Uplifting personality :rofl:

I think move should be at least 5 though. Everything else looks good :up:.
 
Re: The Book of Green Construct: Helicopter Gunship - Design

I was thinking 4 because it's just hovering over the battlefield. But I can go 5 too.

Anyone else prefer 5 over 4?
 
Re: The Book of Green Construct: Helicopter Gunship - Design

No preference on the move. I don't mind it being on the slow side so that it has to stay near the GL controlling it. I also don't mind it being faster.

Love the design. Zero complaints or suggestions except to get this bad boy into testing. :up:
 
Re: The Book of Green Construct: Helicopter Gunship - Design

I'd say slower. Best to limit the strength of constructs in general, I'd say.

Any shots of the figure by the by?
 
Re: The Book of Green Construct: Helicopter Gunship - Design

Nice. Love the personality. :lol:
 
Re: The Book of Green Construct: Helicopter Gunship - Design

Good point, johnny. I think I prefer the smaller move too for that reason.

Green Construct: Helicopter Gunship

I just drank a can of Schrodinger's Beer. While it's inside my tummy, it's both making me want to puke and it doesn't. We won't know until something comes up.

Personality: Uplifting? I love the word play here, and it's even funnier in the context of what I just wrote.

Green Construct Creation

The "book" definition of "you control" in the D&D Scape Glossary contradicts with the wording on this (and also on the Mech Warrior). If you'll notice the use of the term in the next ability, you'll see what I mean.

Green Construct Control

Capitalize lantern.

Vetted.

Heavy Machine Gun Special Attack

Rat-a-tat-tat! Very neat!

Final thoughts

I'm really liking the entire notion of Constructs. They remind me of familiars in adventure games (magic users who cast creatures that operate on the battlefield in proxy of the caster).

Not a big fan of the uplifting personality, I get that it's supposed to be funny, but it just doesn't work. Fearless might be a good personality here. Everything else looks good.

Any thoughts about what Tickle said about the personality?

Yep: His thoughts suck. :p Uplifting is funny and a play on words. Fearless makes absolutely no sense. If a helicopter can't be uplifting, how could it have courage? :p

If we want to get nit-picky about the personalities on Constructs, technically they really shouldn't have any at all (they're essentially mindless), so it's kind of hard to debate personalities for them. I think "Uplifting" is fine, and it's fun. :)
 
Re: The Book of Green Construct: Helicopter Gunship - Design

Nice design and I agree with the lower move of 4 and Uplifting is pretty darn funny :D

Uplifting?!? Because it's a Helicopter? Umm...ha ha, I guess I get it.

Everything else looks good. I like the long range vs. multi-attack choice.

Are any of the photos here usable?

I just painted them and we have sun this weekend!
 
Re: The Book of Green Construct: Helicopter Gunship - Design

Those will work. :up: The plane too!
 
Re: The Book of Green Construct: Helicopter Gunship - Design

Very cool! :)
 
Re: The Book of Green Construct: Helicopter Gunship - Design

Finally got this one done! It's great against low defense figures but not so good against tougher figures.

Re: The Book of Green Construct: Helicopter Gunship - Design

Good stuff! Are you feeling 120 or 130 overall (or something else)?

Also, don't forget to fill out the top parts!
 
Re: The Book of Green Construct: Helicopter Gunship - Design

The top parts are filled out. And I'm thinking 130 but raising the Defense to 5.
 
Re: The Book of Green Construct: Helicopter Gunship - Design

Oye, it's so hard to catch, because you leave the question marks there and don't put the "Pass" in red. :p

Looking over the tests so far, it looks about 110 to me as is. I could see +1 defense boosting it, but I'm iffy on whether I think that'd take it to 130. Still, I'm willing to see what the public thinks, so if you boost the defense by one, this is my pre-yea for either 120 or 130.
 
Re: The Book of Green Construct: Helicopter Gunship - Design

Are the Wrecking Crew supposed to be able to chain turns? Once in round 2, they got 5 turns! The GLs used the same strategy and Hal KOed Piledriver before getting KOed. Then the 5 turn rampage happened and Kyle put 1W on Wrecker before getting KOed.
Who won and how many wounds did they have? Wrecker had 1W and both Thunderball and Bulldozer were unwounded.
Click to expand...

Yep, they can chain turns for sure. I just tested with them and they had either 1 or 2 activations per turn. Kind of like the F4, you can get hot with them sometimes or cold with them sometimes.
 
Re: The Book of Green Construct: Helicopter Gunship - Design

Yep, they basically have "group frenzy."
