If I recall it has water properties...I'll check again tomorrow.

I had Craig autograph all the cards from a RotV set. With Truth's permission, I'll start giving these away sometime next week.

Don't know how...any thoughts?

That's good. Maybe now people will actually start drafting him. No one's used him much before now...

The flip is free: it does not count as part of your move. The double spaced fig does not take any leaving engagement attacks when flipping since the fig is staying on the same 2 spaces. Leaving engagement attacks explained on pg 12.

Q10 is the example in all the double spaced rules. Tor-kul-na is in the tight spaces rules...

Whoa, no one commented much on this. Is this a change to one of the most basic rules that we have always played with? It has always been the case that if you pick up a double-based figure and rotate it 180 degrees, that counted as one move. Are the SotM rules doing away with that? That completely changes one of the few things Q9 had to struggle with, mainly his LoS.

In a word, yes.

Made one more (and last) update to my GenCon gallery pictures this morning. The new ones are 8 pictures of the new Marro figures from SotM. See link in signature.

Maybe the intention was to help the new omnicron soulborg?

Marro Drudge (emerging from beneath swamp water): Hey, Major, the hive said to bring you this nifty new automatic transmission.

Major Q9: Most impressive.

I have put a few of the pictures that I took on Thursday on Flickr. They are all a little different from what I've seen on here so far. I can't claim that they are great, but worth a look.

These have been downsized a little to put them online. If anybody wants the full sized ones, just let me know.
