"Storm" front on the Horizon
The X-Men are coming, the X-men are coming.
AMG has graced us with a panel to play today, all about Ororo Munroe AKA Storm.
Storm's miniature looks amazing, floating up with lighting around her. I can not wait to see what some talented members of the community can do with this model.
On the table Storm is a leader. Her leadership ability is X-Men Gold allowing a character to be placed within Range 1 of a nearby ally once per turn. This is huge! Out of action movement opens so many options up like moving a second character up to contest an objective while getting to attack twice against an enemy character also contesting. The second part of the ability is a passive ability to gain cover when your characters are targeted from beyond range 2. This is less usefully noting how many things ignores cover like Venom.
Storm's has three attacks to call on. First being Lightning Strike, Range 4 Strength 4 I assume energy with a wild shock. Seems good I assume she will gain power equal to damage dealt like most other strikes. Range 4 is strong espeically as most strike attacks are Range 3 or less. Her next attack is Hurricane Strength 5 area attack ignores LOS and cover and won't hurt friendlies. Super powerful but doesn't say how wide the attack will be, at a guess atleast A3 but we will have to wait and see. Coupled with Eye of the Storm which for 3 power can add 2 dice to her next attack, this will end some fights right then and there.
Storm also can not be attacked from beyond range 3 due to her Goddess of the Storms innate power. We have seen this power with different names before noteably on Black Widow from the core set. This will be even more powerful when Storm can reach out and strike from the safety of Range 4.
Overall Storm looks ready to bring the thunder (see what I did there) to the table. I am personnally looking forward to see her and Thor go toe to toe to decide who really controls the thunder.
Hope you have a great day and talk to everyone soon.
