No. 1

 

Vandal Savage [Trinity War 048] 

Back in the Top Ten of 2015 list, we looked at One Man Army figs and commented on how improved they have generally become.

Vandal is the proverbial exception to the trend.

At 250 points, he’s bringing just 10 AV and just 3 damage and just 17 DV Toughness and just 7 Charge to start — which doesn’t work with his SP Close Combat Expert. That means he’s completely depending on Shape Change to keep him safe until next turn. Better hope he doesn’t land on click 2, where the speed spikes to 9 — too late — while the AV drops to 9.

NINE. On click 2 of a 250-point figure. The mind reels.

He gets better stats and powers down dial, and his Leadership trait can boost his and allies’ AV. But look out: Just when you’ve landed on a sweet spot click like No. 3 (Flurry, 11 Super Strength), his other trait auto-heals him at turn’s end if he’s got two action tokens. Liked that Stealth + Outwit click you pushed to? Sorry, it’s gone and he’s open to shooters again…AND the power you just countered on the enemy came back ’cause you healed off Outwit.

This Neanderthal belongs in the annals of extinction.
