Character Bio - For years Stark Industries' technology was mimicked, stolen, and duplicated by other companies, but when governments around the world decided to take similar steps, Tony Stark knew he needed to take action. After designing a sleeker, faster, Iron Man suit, it was equipped with radar camouflage so that he could move into military bases and move out virtually undetected.

Re: The Book of Iron Man Stealth Suit - DESIGNING

Looks ready for testing to me.

 

[Griffin]

Re: The Book of Iron Man Stealth Suit - DESIGNING

Yeah, I think our "faction" threads and our fine tuning behind the scenes helps to achieve this quite a bit, but there is still that 48 hour "breathing period" so we can make changes if we want to.

 

[tcglkn]

Re: The Book of Iron Man Stealth Suit - DESIGNING

It's not just that. This card uses 3 simple pre-designed powers. Unless someone wants to suggest new ideas, this design is pretty solid.

 

[Griffin]

Re: The Book of Iron Man Stealth Suit - DESIGNING

True. Man this power set works really well IMO. The theme is all there and the powers are VERY complimenting. I think this design is going to annoy a lot of armies.

 

[IAmBatman]

Re: The Book of Iron Man Stealth Suit - DESIGNING

I'd consider moving Stealth Flying to the bottom of the card, lol. That's about all I can think of. Looks ready for ERB/testing to me.

I thought of that, but HyperSpeed 4 is an After Turn power.

Re: The Book of Iron Man Stealth Suit - DESIGNING

But Flying and Stealth Flying ALWAYS go on the bottom. I can't think of a card where they don't.

Silver Surfer.

There are a lot more too, but the "code" is more or less guidelines than actual rules.

 

[IAmBatman]

Re: The Book of Iron Man Stealth Suit - DESIGNING

Well Surfer is his definite precedent here ... unless we want to stick with only C3G precedents.

 

[tcglkn]

Re: The Book of Iron Man Stealth Suit - DESIGNING

Silver Surfer is the only Official Figure (Classic and Marvel) where Flying or Stealth Flying is not on the bottom. I would rather stay consistant with the general trend and put it on the bottom.

 

[Griffin]

Re: The Book of Iron Man Stealth Suit - DESIGNING

It isn't the only one tickle.

 

[tcglkn]

Re: The Book of Iron Man Stealth Suit - DESIGNING

It isn't the only one tickle.

I just looked at every card that has the Flying or Stealth Flying Special power on the Battleplan website and it is.

For whatever reason, I read Classic as "Custom".

Yes, Silver Surfer is the only one that I know of with Flying NOT at the bottom. I felt with this card being strongly modeled after that card with two powers, it would be best to mimic it. I can change it though if one or more people think we should.

Re: The Book of Iron Man Stealth Suit - DESIGNING

Debating the order in which the powers go. Yep, put this one in the done pile.

Re: The Book of Iron Man Stealth Suit - DESIGNING

OK, I put my repaints of the Stealth Iron Man on the OP. Let me know what you guys think.

 

[tcglkn]

Re: The Book of Iron Man Stealth Suit - DESIGNING

Looks good man.

 

[SirGalahad]

Re: The Book of Iron Man Stealth Suit - DESIGNING

Do we really want this guy as part of the Helicarrier Drop Team?

This one + Nick Fury + SHIELD Agents would be just nasty.


Weren't we going to omit the "if he is engaged" wording?

 

[Good Pig]

Re: The Book of Iron Man Stealth Suit - DESIGNING

Looks awesome!

 

[IAmBatman]

Re: The Book of Iron Man Stealth Suit - DESIGNING

It's one ranged attack of 4 per turn from him. If we can't add him to the Agent faction, who can we?

Sorry about the the delay, this didn't bump for me for some reason.

What Bats said. This guys is mostly annoying on other figures' turn, where on his own, it is just a single attack of 4.

Out of habit, and because this has been designed for about 2 years, I just overlooked that. I will update once the "breathing period" is over.

Heavy Hitter or Mid-Level Hero Test
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes.
- What should be the unit's point value? 260-270.
- Give a brief overview. One on One Iron Man can really frustrate an opponent's single figure, because he is so fast and has the entire battlefield as his playground. I am guessing that once he is in a full army situation he will be slightly less efficient.

Spoiler Alert!

Spoiler Alert!

Re: The Book of Iron Man Stealth Suit - DESIGNING

Just to make sure, after reading this line: "He works best as clean up probably, but he works well with Captain America too as he can get in and out of that Avengers Assemble boost rather quickly" you weren't using a space restriction on Avengers Assemble, were you?
