OblivAeon Kickstarter Update #35!

As I'm sure you guys have seen, a new KS update came out! Here's where you can give it a read: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gtgames/sentinels-of-the-multiverse-oblivaeon/posts/1862354

And with this we've had a glimpse at each new OblivAeon hero! I like the idea of Benchmark and of how 'technological' his powerset is shown to be. Without looking at any of his other cards I'm going to say he's a 1-2 difficulty hero, depending on what cards of his you decide to focus on.

It looks like we really are gonna see Stuntman's personality through his deck, him being all about out-of-turn actions and such to 'show other heroes up'. I find that kind of funny/annoying, but that's the whole point, isn't it?

And of course we get a shout out for Sentinels of Earth-Prime(which I totally backed already, and you should check out if you haven't), which happily funded on its first day.

And it looks like we're gonna get a look at our five new environments next time, along with an update about the collector's box! Can't wait for May!

THe playtesters have been saying Stuntman was fun to play for a long time. I am now seeing what they were getting at. :D Benchmark's mechanics look interesting as well!

Benchmark is definitely not a a difficulty 1 hero. He is much closer to Argent Adept in complexity than Legacy.

This was apart of the comments incase anyone didint see it

It was posted by Christopher when responding to what would happen if he has all his hardware out. ( paraphrasing a bit)

I can't wait for May either. However, these new cards are plenty enough to keep me satisfied for now. Stuntman looks fun, not as intrigued by his narcissism as everyone else, but I really would like to play a game with Benchmark. His software and hardware is something I have to see all of.

I actually have a custom hero similar to Benchmark, though mine has to swap out the upgrades. Makes him one of my favorites, along with Mainstay.

Ah, is that the case? So then would you call him more of a 2-3 difficulty then?

Yes.

This is such an awesome pic, though Benchmark does look a little side-heavy. Maybe he has some sort of footing fortification to help him not fall over.

In all seriousness, I'm so looking forward to more card reveals!

2. Certainly not a 3

Probably has some sort of stabilizers . I also like the exposed wires on the weapon on his right

I feel like Stuntman is like an Insufferable Genius version of Gambit, which I consider to be a very good and amusing thing. He's in that kind of fun dynamic where he has an annoying ego the size of a planet but actually can be good enough at times to justify it.

I like the look of Benchmark too; the build-a-hero flavor to his cards are interesting, and I like that we'll be getting to meet an actual unique hero (as in not a good or evil twin) from an alternate universe who will therefore have a different culture to work from. Especially one that's still strongly tied to Revo-Corp so we get to see more from them as well.

In Benchmark I believe we are also seeing a lot more of that modularity tech that will eventually lead to the next incarnation of Omnitron?

We've already been told in the Letters Page that was due to the TermiNation Bunker suit 

My suspicion is that the TermiNation event, which happened fairly early on, also contributed to the tech that went into Benchmark. Then, TermiNation and Benchmark both contributed to making Omnitron's return possible.

Not that early. I'd say its more middle-ish. Post vengence, pre Progeny.

Benchmark is all RevoCorp so it might have Omnitron tech in it but more likely is a later iteration of Baron Blade's battle suit.  

I thought it was Revenant's suit, being repurposed as a hero suit as Revocorp tries to pull some shenanigans.

As for that picture being when Benchmark has all his hardware. . . yes, that look about right.  Wait till you see what it plays like.

Benchmark isn't super comples, but he is heavily based on his loadout, and which ones you want in play together.  If you get it all out there is a lot to keep track of.
So he's complex, but more because of the amount of stuff you can do each turn, rather than trying to pull complex shenanigans like Adept.

It is supposed to be but the Baron Blade Letters Page implied others have worn Baron Blade's battle suit and who else but those under RevoCorp.

But what happens if he pushes all of his buttons?

He initializes a hard System Reboot. Clean up the game, shuffle all the decks and restart.

So I'm new here, but I love Sentinels.  I was wondering if there's a thread that keeps track of what has and hasn't shipped out?

Stuntman looks interesting. Blue MtG player, so...interrupts are my thing.  Gonna have fun with that!

Welcome, MagisterCrow!

There isn't a dedicated thread that keeps track of what has shipped. Thus far, I believe the only things that have gone out are:

• Foil hero packs
• Previously released material for Everything Ever pledge levels

No OblivAeon materials or mini-expansions (apart from the character cards in the foil hero packs) have been shipped yet.

Welcome to the forums!

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forums, MagisterCrow – glad to have you here! 

<Magic discussion split off to another thread in the Off Topic forum.>

Thanks for the welcome, all! And the info!

As to being a blue player, remember, that symbol isn't a mere water drop, it's your opponent's tears :)
