Review: by Joel "jthesquid" Gibson
Sculpt 9/10 - This is great concept for a piece and
it is beautifully executed. The Stag Beetle head and
arm are very well done. The added detail of the
shackle on the ankle is the icing on the cake.
Flavour Text 9/10 - This is yet another episode in
the Dr.Jonathon Varley lab notes. A charming picture
of man and insect combined into one. Bone marrow
sucking is always a winner. One complaint - the
sculpt clearly has mandibles, but no proboscis.
Playability/Dial 9/10 - This may be, pound for pound
the best figure in the Lab set. It opens up with a
high defense with Stamina even if it does drop off
after a few clicks. The consistently high attack and
damage make this piece a winner. Mandibles (Trap)
make foes stick around to take their damage. If that
isn't enough it can Snack back up a click when
necessary. Add in an hourglass-into-death click to
rob your opponent the victory points should they not finish it off. All this for 30 points! Coleoptastic! |
