KC Green Lantern

[pupulesurfer]

So I am getting KC Green Lantern in a trade and I am super excited to try him out. The next game I can play is at my local shop and it is 300 pts, Golden Age, no cardboard. I was thinking of using a double barrier style team so how does this look? Scourge is in there more as a filler but I do like his stealth, high av, and range for such a low amount of points. Would this be a good strategy or is there something better? Thanks, as always!

KC GL - 225
Infinity Challenge Pyro x2 - 27ea = 54
Ultimates Scourge - 21
Tot = 300

Golden Age doesn't mean just Golden Age figures, but does your team have to be all Golden Age figures?

[pupulesurfer]

It doesn't have to be all Golden Age figs but these were what I had in my collection that were cheap barrier figs.

[NeoShazam]

KC GL and Double barrier ? Somebody is looking to make friends ;)

I think I'd play Future theme :

KC GL
Rookie Science Police
Dawnstar

299

[pupulesurfer]

Ya, I wasn't really thinking too much about making friends but more or less about making KC amazing without feats.

I see the usefulness of dawnstar and science police is filler I'm assuming with the helpfulness of the PD TA.

I like that I could also use some theme PC rolls but I don't think that would be entirely necessary.

Which team would you rather not go up against? This one or the double barrier?

[CBOWEN333]

Scince you're not concerned about fellowship or the fellows asscoiated with such, I'll chime in on this disgustingly fun build.
KC GL 225
Scourge 29
Vet Spymaster 21
Vet Science Police 19
Forbush Man 4 (assuming pogs are allowed)
---------------------
298 pts

GL carries around SPolice staying at full range away from all targets posting up with RCE when possible and running shot when nescessary. Run backwards and shoot. You have all the range in the world. USE IT

Spymaster and Scourge (The BEST 50 pts in Heroclix!) Consider them your trophy collectors. Big Green cant be bothered to finish off scrubs and stragglers. Hey, what are hired guns for? Close and stealth like, always
If someone is comin after GL fast, cut em off with everyones favorite pothead. Forbush Man!
If he's not fast enough, the Spymaster should be.

I have played this team with much success. Just Redonkulous!

[pupulesurfer]

I really like that idea...sounds fun. Unfortunately the pogs aren't allowed but the vet science police is actually 21 points so it'll still fit! I may try this out!

Also, why is this double barrier idea so "d0uche" like to everyone? I just thought it was a good idea.

[Pepsirox08]

KC GL and OotS... do it...

[Terman8er]

Not sure what figs you have but a GCD (Enhance/PD TA) is a nice figure for him to bring along for the ride.

R Psylocke is nice too for the SHIELD/Perplex combo.


225 LG096 Green Lantern
45 AW055 Psylocke
27 AA006 Gotham City Detective
297

Psylocke gives him possibly +2 range (Perplex & SHIELD TA) while the GCD gives him +1 to his AV (effectively) and +1 damage (Enhancement). So a 13 AV, 5 DaV, 12 Range attack? Oh yes please.

Use the Vine (for some healing) the Accelerator (to compensate for the carry negative) and go for it! :)

[pupulesurfer]

Great suggestions everyone...keep 'em comin!

[Logan71]

Or you can go with a little more mobility with

KC GL- 225
R Hawkeye - 61
and either
WoS Nurse -10
or
E Con Artist-12

Either way you got two great range figure with great mobility and if you go with Nurse (If you have one) they eventually drop in the defense area

I knew that team added up to 300. After posting I noticed the math and corrected the wrong thing

[pupulesurfer]

So right now I am considering these two possibilities. I'm still liking double barrier best but I don't understand why ppl are seemingly hatin' on it. If anyone can enlighten me that would be great. So which of these two is better or which would you rather play and why? If you have more suggestions, lemme know!

V Scourge 21

KC GL 225

YOu seem to be set on the Double B's (heh heh) So why dont you just stick with it. as long as there is no SIF then its not so competitive its not fun.

[pupulesurfer]

SIF? And thx for tellin' me to just stick with it but the second team ranks right up there!

[Logan71]

Its a good thing you dont what it is even though its been changed. Structural integrity field. pretty much unbreakable barrier.

[GrifficusPrime]

but what happens if you go up against stealth team?

[Danzig01]

How about this:

KC GL 224pts
Justice is Served #203 Ultimates 31pts
Jason Blood BaTB AE to Etrigan 44pts

299pts.

Hopefully you have Justice Is Served. He's phenomenal for the points! GL throws (TKEs) "Justice" who ties up the other guy's "bully-boy." GL range attacks, while Jason hangs back to probabilty control as needed. If Justice gets served...up, then push Jason to Etrigan. At the latter part of the match, his Mystic team ability comes in handy too!

Just my 2 cents.

[pupulesurfer]

but what happens if you go up against stealth team?

Sure it would suck and would take forever but I have enough figures I could tie guys up, chip away at them and then let GL clean things up when it doesn't matter if he uses RCE or not! It's doable I think.

[caligula4u]

If your wanting to use barrier figs I recommend using R, E, or V Avalanche. I always use the vet Avalanche in golden age when I just need a barrier fig. He's cheap, has good range, decent dmg when needed, and most importantly the team ability for free move actions. So that's my advice on who to use for barrier.

p.s. grats on the kc green lantern.

[Terman8er]

If you are set on double barrier, if you have her, I suggest doubling up on the SR Avengers Scarlet Witch. That way you get some PC too.

[combatninja]

Ooh... sounds like fun.

[darkjacen]

Yes listen to Terman8er, this build sounds viable.:grin: You'd still have 5 points left over so you can throw in a Blue Lantern if you've got one.

[Logan71]

but what happens if you go up against stealth team?

Thats when GL becomes one of the most expensive TK'ers.

[llyrghmnghyll]

Better him than Ganthet, Parallax or Cosmic Spidey

If I had the SR Scarlet Witches, they would totally be on the team!! Same goes for the Lantern.

Thats when GL becomes one of the most expensive TK'ers.

Great Point! That makes it easier to deal with as well but quite unfortunate that he would be used as a TKer :cry:

[Terman8er]

How about old-school Vet Taskmaster?


225 LG096 Green Lantern
75 XP066 Taskmaster
300

This way if you run into some stealth that lets GL TK Tasky into base to wreak some serious BCF damage. That and his Perplex makes GL even more deadly.

[pupulesurfer]

taskmaster is a nice choice. i think ill try that too at some point.

on another note what about the dominic petros le? it seems like he could b used effectively too and then i could use another low cost barrier like r avalanche and have more points for a secondary attacker?

thoughts?

then i can perplex his 20 d to 21!

[pupulesurfer]

sorry about the triple post i was posting from my phone for the first time. anyways i borrowed my friends kc gl and tried the taskmaster team and it was fun but it left gl vulnerable. i tried tk and just trying to move tasky into position but he knew how to avoid him easily enough and get into position to hit gl. task hit with bfc at 3 and 4 but didnt matter much against loki. ill try the other teams out when i get mine in and report back. until then keep posting ideas im all ears

[pupulesurfer]

So I tried the double barrier team out at 400 points but instead of GL my new Iron Man/Warmachine Duo and let's just say my opponents were so frustrated by my double barrier and my measly Scourge that they all went after those figs first and left IM/WM alone and he just obliterated everything!!

So double barrier works great and ppl hate it as y'all predicted. MUST TRY WITH GL!!!!

I'll also try the science police/spymaster team too very soon!!
