Finally! This is the Punisher I've been waiting for since I started playing Heroclix.

[vladpiranha]

At long last, we get to play as the mainstream Frank Castle in his classic black and whites. This is a long time coming and what I've wanted since I started playing this game.

[dcsuperfriend]

Much better than before, but could be slightly better.

[MopedKid86]

I love this take on Punisher, he's exactly what we needed! It seems like every good version of Punisher really deters your opponent from grouping his guys together...

[CREED]

Still needs Armor Piercing to ensure he's always dangerous...

[CREED]

Unless I missed something,he can't actually deal damage to all three targets because he doesn't deal enough damage and you can't divide Range Combat Expert damage to different targets.

Unless I missed something,he can't actually deal damage to all three targets because he doesn't deal enough damage and you can't divide Range Combat Expert damage to different targets.
I think he can because the Trait modifies damage DEALT, not Punisher's damage statistic, the same way a crit hit can get above the Rule of 3. So if you hit 3 guys adjacent to each other and divide his 2 damage as 1, 1 and 0, after all other computations are done (but before damage reducers apply) they each are dealt 1 more damage, taking the total payout to 2, 2 and 1. Very useful on his Psy-Blast clicks. I think it'd even work that way for his 1 damage click, splitting it 1, 0, 0 becoming 2, 1, 1. I think this is how it goes.

[Slade Wilson]

Im liking it, I wish he did not have any 1's on his dial but otherwise he is a good assualt version. Not the perfect punisher but it will do.

[CowboyBebop]

If Steve Rogers has a 7 range with his pistol then Frank should have been given a 7 as well.

[Troma99]

If Steve Rogers has a 7 range with his pistol then Frank should have been given a 7 as well.

Just saying that this panel might apply

However I agree Frank should have gotten at least a 7...though i tshould be noted he's not toting a Pistol for this one

[Ender02]

Love this guy, but i'm still looking forward to the ones from the full set. 6 range on a figure that has an assault rifle is meh, but then again the old shield assault troop guys are the same way.
I'm just glad to have some useful replacements for my old SI/Classic Punisher, though I will miss the minigun

[W.I.T]

This is a really great dial. That Trait is awesome, especially combined with Sharpshooter. If I had one 'complaint' it would simply be that how does Frank warrant a 100 point dial, but Spider-Man doesn't? Of course that's not really a complaint about this figure (I'm looking at you WK/NECA). Overall a very solid representation of Mr. Castle, and IMO the best Punisher dial to date by far, possibly a little too good (I took one point from comic accuracy as I think he's too powerful).

[AdamWarlock]

we did a 500 point draft of 8 Hulk GF's each and despite the overwhelming majority of big bruisers on the board... this piece dominated on multiple teams. This piece is something special.

[desertlion5]

Came pretty Darn close to dropping both RED HULK and THE LEADER with this version of PUNISHER today...*sighs*
So he is now my replacement for 'Chaingun' PUNISHER :)

[mab104]

And he' still exactly enough points to use Loner on.

[DaeRave]

Why bother with the other Punishers from the Hulk set? This is the one to use. Weapon swapping is nice, but I'd rather swap to a good dial.

[vladpiranha]

So does that damage increase from Spray With Bullets count toward the 'rule of three' or can you perplex it beforehand to get the most out of his damage?

[ManiacClown]

Spray With Bullets doesn't implicate the Rule of three because it modifies damage DEALT (like a critical hit or like objects used to) rather than damage VALUE (like with CCE/RCE or like objects do now).

[jimmyboy]

This just might be my overall favorite figure. Last night in a tournament I took out Hulk (gx051) with this guy, supported by Leader (ih014), who Outwitted Hulk's defenses. As long as he's on one of the combat expert clicks, this guy's deadly to almost anyone he can hit. Would have been even better if I'd had a perplexer on my team, but good ol' Fearless Frank didn't need it.

[PastePotPete]

id rather save the points & put my INF GAUNT on the weapon swap PUNISHER

[candusima]

I think . . . the Trait modifies damage DEALT, not Punisher's damage statistic, the same way a crit hit can get above the Rule of 3.

This sounds correct to me. And makes this figure a GREAT candidate for the Time Gem. 10 points and you can have triple target Incap on a figure who can plink away at his targets while he sucks the action potential out of your entire army and lets his buddies walk all over you. Who says Stunning Blow is dead in Modern Age?

[Thorngren]

Just throwing this out there, but not only does this sculpt lend its self well for a 'custom' Winter Soldier mod, but the dial is damn near perfect for it.

[Samaritan]

Lacks a little Outwit to be 100% accurate, but other than that i think this is the best Punisher so far. Can even take on the big guys and hold his ground. Way better than the swapping versions, even counting their versatility.

[vladpiranha]

For 100 pts, we should have gotten more than 6 range.
