Valiant Overpower!

[fennshysa]

I've always wanted to do a Valiant set. Never read too many of them back in the day and they didn't have a lot of splashy art that translated well to overpower cards. A couple of years ago on vacation I read most of their new stuff on comixology. Lots of good art in there. I've been tinkering with it for a while and it's starting to come together now. Most of the first stuff is based on Archer and Armstrong and Timewalker as those were my favorites.

All of it is based on the current storylines but I am planning on adding Boutique set with Magnus, Solar and Turok.
Changed This........ They are now in a Google Drive and I will not be linking individual cards.

[justa]

glad to see you back on the boards, fenn.  i'm also happy that someone is still active on this board creating.
i must admit to being ignorant of all of these characters save Ninjak.  that just means "i gots some reading to do".     someone else did a previous version of Ninjak on this board, i believe based on Acclaim.  i'm too lazy to look it up.  no overlap, though.
btw: you used the term "Reserve Deck" instead of "Draw Pile" on Ninja - Spy.  i think we discussed this in a previous thread.  i know what you meant.

extra:  i'm keen on seeing what direction you choose to go with the Sect.  on first look, you could overload them with Specials for each of their splinter groups, so 20+.  but then who would you team with them?  and how many individual splinter groups warrant development?

[justa]

justa wanted to give you a bump to keep the thread current.  looking forward to your next additions.  (as always)

edit: also noted while filing these that Ninjak"s "MI-6" should be coded CF, not CG.

[cyber0820]

Its nice to see this place is still up & running!

[fennshysa]

Hey Justa. I changed the Ninja-Spy card anyway. Still have to fix the code. Changed Armstong's Nearly Immortal also. Added quite a bit.
With the Sect I went with Sister's Of Perpetual Darkness, Dominion, 1% and Null since they were the main groups. Black Bloc for fun and the Hashish Eaters.

[justa]

a lot to process, but some quick items....

i saw the Ninja-Spy change to Stealthy Attack on the Google drive, but on the name changed on the list above.  not sure if i like the BP mechanic for him, but i'll think about it.

Armstrong's Nearly Immortal didn't make it to the Google drive.

lovin' the synergy of Gen. Zero's Cloud+Headspace.  reminds me of an old Byrds song (8 miles high...).   

[fennshysa]

Uploaded Nearly Immortal. I"m open to suggestions on Ninjak. It just fit the picture when i looked at it and he needed some attack cards.

That was exactly how Cloud/Headspace used their powers so that one came easily. I"m not 100% sure on The Telic but it is definitely the flavor of what i want her to have.

Have you read archer and armstrong now?

[justa]

i have read "about" Archer & Armstrong (and the others), but i have not read the actual comics.

on Ninjak - while I agree he could use an attack special, one "from Reserve" doesn't seem to fit the motif as well as the Spy card did.  i think Ninjak would be more in line with attacking Opponent's Reserve than being in reserve himself.  but i don't want to "drive" your cards one way or another, as you are more familiar with the character than i am.  (the previous version i saw of him was 2746=19 - your version of 3847=22 is much more powerful.)

Armor Hunters - Helix should be coded DR.  (reference Brainiac's Mental Illusions)

Eternal Warrior - Warrior Eternal text says F or S, but icons say F or I.  my guess is you made that card right after The Fist & The Steel.   

Harada - Omega Level Psiot has no code - should be FT.  (reference Thor's Unfettered Might)

and a question - are you planning a Mission/Event set called "Unity"?  at first i thought the end of Harada's World Domination was a thematic way of saying you only ventured 1 Mission card (unity?).  then the question occured to me.  maybe put "Unity" in quotes?  (reference Shadowcat's Cat Claws)

some good stuff there.  thanks for sharing.

[fennshysa]

Thanks for checking my stuff. I fixed the 3 mistakes. They should show up corrected. If you have Comixology Unlimited all the archer and armstrong stuff is on there. I really enjoyed them.

Ninjack could be lower on the stats, the Intellect especially but I'm probably just going to leave him there. He's rather scary good for someone with no abilities in the comics. I'll probably switch to the attack the Reserve like you suggested.
Yes, I'm planning on a Unity Mission set.

In the meantime, here are the specials for Bloodshot. Yes the last card is cartoony art. It makes me laugh and the picture with him half blown away eating cow carcasses in a slaughterhouse was way to gross for me. I changed it to basic universe card just to try something different.  Loaded Weapon is a new mechanic though i think i did something like it on and Aspect card before.

Bloodshot   Project Rising Spirit   
Bloodshot's "Nanite Repair" and "Rebuild Mode" become Any Character Specials for remainder of game. Bloodshot's Hit's to KO number is increased by 3 for remainder of game.
Bloodshot   Rebuild Mode   
Discard 1 Basic Universe card to remove all Hits from Bloodshot's Permanent Record with an icon of the same type as discarded card.

[justa]

please DON'T change Ninjak!  he's Valiant's version of Batman - highly trained fighter, mad intelligence, lots of neat gadgets - he deserves the grid boost.

Yes the last card is cartoony art. It makes me laugh and the picture with him half blown away eating cow carcasses in a slaughterhouse was way to gross for me.

my first thought was of the Preacher comic where Cassidy is all messed up, hiding from the sun in a hole in a field, enticing a cow to come closer.  (i probably would have gone with the gross.)

[fennshysa]

Vincent Van Goat   
Acts as a level 6 Energy or Intellect attack.

[justa]

what a hoot and a half!  you've given me my laugh for the day.
when i saw the first 5 specials posted, i justa knew Van Goat had to be the 6th.  [although the thought occurred to me that the goat was stolen for Volstagg, but that's another story (finally getting around to finishing my next foray into creating).]  still waiting for the goat to show up on the google drive.
Shields should be AG vice AD (see Any Character Guardian Angel).

[fennshysa]

Glad I could give you a laugh. I couldn't leave the goat out. He was originally going to be any Any Character AR but then i decided just to put him with the boys. He was a 7 multi to start but then they had 4 OPD so i trimmed him down to a HF.
I'm not sure why he isn't showing up for you. He looks to be in the drive to me but i'll reload when i fix the Shields special later. Thanks.

So what do you have coming next?

[justa]

the goat shows now.  not sure why it took a while.

up next from me will be my usual scattershot assortment of characters.  i started late this year for some reason.

[fennshysa]

Looking forward to seeing them.
