….Kickstarter ate our first attempt at an update….

It was a lot of typing.

(\/)*,,,,*(\/) This is the crab face I am making.

So we’re going to go with a new shorter version!

No new production or shipping updates this week. Not surprising considering Chinese New Year has begun.

Relic Knight cross-over previews!

Kasaro To is warboss who excels by manipulating Heroes and bolstering weaker monsters around him. With a STR of 1 star and 2 red he is a consistent hitter if not a sensational one. His ARM 2 red is backed up by the ability Tough which allows him to heal 1 wound every activation.

The unique offensive action Serpent Coil is a melee range 6 action that causes the effectImmobile when it wounds, causing a model to be unable to move during its next activation.

Kasaro’s two support actions are a cheap 1 action point each. Zealotry is an Aura 1 that grants every adjacent friendly model +1 blue STR. Snare requires a roll between Kasaro’s STR and his targets WILL. If Kasaro wins he can pull the target 5 squares towards him.

Calico Kate love explosions and treasure!

Wielding her sword she has a nice melee attack with her STR of 2 red. The unique offensive action Bomb’s Away leverages her STR as well for a dangerous Burst 1 area effect that inflicts Knockdown on every wounded model.

Her potion Skully adds to the mayhem with another dangerous area effect, that is a Wave 1 offensive potion, hitting every adjacent model and granting its user +1 red STR.

Pirate Snatch also grants +1 red STR and lets Kate draw a loot card even if she doesn’t destroy the model.

The Luck ability furthers her love of treasure allowing Kate to draw an additional treasure card when opening chests to choose her favorite!

One Shot is a very straight forward Hero: shoot everything!

Running off of a DEX of 2 red and a missile range of 8 squares, not much can hide from One Shot.

Daystar gives One Shot a Lance 8 area effect, hitting every model in a line 8 squares long. For extra umph it also pushes them 3 squares, allowing her to clear out choke points and push models into hazardous tile effects.

Focused Shot is cracks high defense targets with a single bump of +3 blue Dex. Pow!

Her potion Fritz can increase One Shot’s (or any missile Hero’s) DEX even further by +1 blue and granting them the ability Knockdown.

Princess Malya is a nimble speed demon with 8 movement points and a DEX of 2 red that she can also use when making defense rolls.

Malya is also a very versatile Hero. Able to use a solid STR of 3 blue and melee range of 2 squares, or tap her DEX with the offensive action Energy Blast for a 8 square range, Burst 1 area effect that hits every model adjacent to her target.

Spark of Life and Mr. Tomn bring support elements to Malya. Spark of Life allows her to heal 1 wound or remove one status effect from a model for only 1 action point. Mr. Tomn is an emergency potion that grants the drinker and Aura 3 that boosts all friendly model’s +1 blue ARM. Nice!

Unfortunately, it appears Codifier Kisa has snuck out and Sebastian had to go look for her, being a proper dependable paladin. We will review both of them at a later date. Until then may you always roll stars and

Sparkleburst!
