Batman - Calendar Man

Time for another villain.  And he's a bit of an unusual one, Calendar Man.

Why is Calenadar Man unusual?  Well that's because he's unique.  To simulate how he plans his crimes around holidays he has a different rule depending on what month it is.  For example in March he has Luck, whereas in October he has Undead.

So how is he used in game? His thing is meticulous planning, and that's reflected in his rules.  He has handyman so it doesn't cost him any counters to manipulate.  He has self discipline so he can't be controlled.  And he has mastermind so he adds in extra take the lead marker to your pool.  He also has assassin 5, which means he gains an extra 5 victory points for killing your opponent's leader.  If you catch your opponent's leader with one or two wounds I'd actually take the chance of shanking him.

Master of Ceremonies

The Master of Ceremonies (who for the rest of the article will be called Jim for easiness) is one of Joker's elite clowns.  He's actually the better of the two.  Jim's quite a big dude compared to the rest of the clowns and sports some armour and an axe.  He means business.

Stop! Hammer Time!

I've had this figure in my collection for a while now, and now he's got a nice new paint job..  I present to you Mr Hammer.

First off I know Hammer is supposed to have tattoos... I'm not that good a free hand, so I'm leaving them off.  Secondly his make up makes him look like a Kiss reject.  However I think he looks cool.  he's got his standard Blackgate prison orange trousers (like most of my clowns).  I gave his skin a deliberately darker skin tone, he wanders about without a shirt on, he's bounded to be more tanned.  I've also done his scarred flesh a slightly more pinky colour to make it stand out.

Hammer's role in game is to protect the boss and beat face.  Actually that's exactly what he does.  He should be swatting aside henchmen with contemptuous ease, whilst tanking damage head at your boss with his bodyguard rule.  However his one armed rule means your opponent's minis can hit him easily.  He needs to it them so hard that they don't hit him back.
