I have often wondered about the figure choice for Lady Fürstenstein. The figure is from D&D Bloodwar - Doomguard - #47/60 Common.
Recently I was looking through my HeroClix collection and I discovered Magdalena from Top Cow comics. I like her as well for Lady Fürstenstein.
The only trouble is that Magdalena needs rebasing. Not really a problem as the D&D and Star Wars minis have bases that are perfect. I just bought a whole mess from Everythingmageknight for 30 cents each.
Very carefully pop Magdalena off her clicky base and trim the feet with an exacto knife (watch the fingers - those things are sharp!). Now cut a D&D figure off their base. Be careful to keep the base as smooth as possible. Now you can super glue Magdalena on. I use the super glue gel. I think it works a little better for this. I usually put a final coat of black paint on the base to hide where the previous figure's feet were.
Painters out there may want to paint over the bare midriffs - they might be a bit racy for the U-Chronic universe. I'm leaving mine for now.
Now I have 2 figures that will work for Lady Fürstenstein. But which to choose? I guess that is up to you, but I will be keeping both options open.
The Doomguard Fürstenstein is the hand-to-hand expert with twin blades to attack more than one opponent at the same time.
The Magdalena Fürstenstein has the sword for hand-to-hand as well as the pistol for opponents a bit farther off.
Here are sample pics of each figure with the whole Moeller's Hermetics Faction. Which one do you like?
And here they are with the Ladies of Tannhäuser. I think the scale of both figures work well.
Here is the original card.
Special Object
Twin Daggers - Type: Hand to Hand Weapon - Years of training in the Eastern Dynasties allow Lady Fürstenstein to attack two adjacent figures each turn.
Flying Blades - Lady Fürstenstein can attack a figure at a range of 4 , but you must discard this token, and place the Twin Daggers token on the circle with the target.
I also made a new card for the Magdalena Fürstenstein.
Special Object
Katana - Type - Hand to Hand Weapon - During a Hand-to-Hand Combat Roll, Lady Fürstenstein may add 1 to the result of each die rolled (except for Natural 1s).
Gold Plated .45 - Type - Close Combat Weapon - During a Combat Roll, the high fire rate of the .45 provides a 2-point bonus to the result of each die (except for Natural 1s).
The following Tokens are available to both versions of Lady Fürstenstein.
Shaolin Training - If there is an oponnent's figure adjacent to Lady Fürstenstein, instead of taking her normal move, she may move to any unoccupied circle adjacent to that figure. During a Combat Roll, Shaolin Training adds a 1-point bonus to the result of each die (except for Natural 1s) when making a Hand to Hand attack. This is in addition to any other Hand to Hand bonuses.
Smoke Powder - Lady Fürstenstein can throw smoke powder in any unoccupied adjacent circle. Place a smoke token on that circle. The smoke fills all paths that share a color with that circle.
Blade Reposte - Lady Fürstenstein always rolls Hand to Hand defense at her highest value and adds 1 to each die if the Twin Daggers Token or Katana Token is on Lady Fürstenstein's card.
Lover's Rage - If Doktor Moeller is attacked in the same Pathfinding as Lady Fürstenstein, and she has not had her Sequence, she can go right now, interrupting the attackers turn. She receives 2 extra attack dice if she attacks Moeller's attacker.
Martial Arts - Lady Fürstenstein adds 1 to each die when making a Hand to Hand attack. This is in addition to any other Hand to Hand bonuses.
Flash Powder - During her Sequence, instead of taking an Action Phase, Lady Fürstenstein may discard this token. All adjacent figures may not play their Sequences this game turn.
Now you have a choice. Please let me know which you prefer. You can reply here or on my thread at the Fantasy Flight Forums.
