The Book of Command Courier

[kpucblek]

My issue with the CC is he looks like a flying superhero. He is a strange sculpt. But I guess beggars can't be choosers. I'll take him over nothing.

His stats/abilities, on the other hand, are really nifty.

That was not my experience--they're limited by their single attack of 2 each turn, which is no serious threat for most decent melee armies. Death Chasers, on the other hand... I'll admit though, the Command Courier has persistence on his side, especially on open maps where he can repeatedly slip from the grasp of oncoming Melee. When a melee army is faced with cleaning out Command Couriers, their best option is to try to corner the Command Courier somewhere where they can't get out and can't use Fleet Footed.

Well met!

He actually looks like a Martian from the '53 movie, Invaders from Mars,

or the even earlier Gene Autrey movie, The Phantom Empire.

Oh, he's definitely a strange sculpt--I picked up four, and he's anywhere from leaning at a 45° angle to practically parallel to the ground--but I don't think he looks like he's flying. Just cornering really fast.

Paladin can't fly, so I doubt his sculpt is flying.

The first two I bought just came in the mail yesterday. They're parallel with the ground. I don't plan on rebasing them, I think they need a boiling water / freezer touch.

The Command Couriers really bring Agent Skahen into her own (and Otonashi, as much as she can be). Cover fire feels a lot less arbitrary when there are always bodies around for her to move, whether it be the Couriers or a hero like Heirloom.

They're not going to be winning any tournaments, but they make for a nice new casual army type.

True. It doesn't work for me.

Fixed.

To all volunteer authors of books of C3V:

Please do not try to link directly to the PDF, it does not work. You have to link to the downloads page for that PDF and allow Scapers to download the PDF themselves.

Thanks, ZB

As I've said before, this is not true. What is true is that you absolutely CANNOT click the big download button, copy that URL, and use that as your link. That definitely does not work.

What does work is to right-click the big fat download button and choose "Copy Link Location." Alternatively, you could use the same PDF link that I use on the front page, which I get from doing exactly the above.

If anyone needs a handful of these, I have some extras.
