Doomsinger
Best. Madness fig. EVAR.
'nuff said, really. I mean, there is a leetle
room for improvement, like giving at least one
more point to each stat, but Warpstrike 5 makes
this creepy chica sniper supreme on the
dreamscape. Too bad it isn't multiblade like
Book of Nothing, but hey, you are probably going
to be playing both anyway, at least in
constructed. And don't even mention Unspeakable
Freak, because while he may be the dream
equivalent of a bazooka, 7 spawn points AND
being in a scoring cell makes him one heck of an
expensive, situational piece of artillery.
Doomsinger wins on dependability EVERY time. Her
little brother, Gun-Posessed Killer, is also
decent, but come on, it's the big sister of the
family that is bringing home the bacon. You play
madness, you play Doomsinger. No debate.
Constructed: 4.5/5 I wasn't joking when I said
she was the best Madness fig ever. Spellbound
Scissors is pretty good, but frankly, they are
just reusable weenies. Doomsinger, on the other
hand, wins games.
Limited: 4/5 Use her even if you AREN'T going
Madness. She will be a little harder to use,
which is why I took off half a point, but once
she hits the field, it is ON.

Reviewed by Rolf the

Today we have another Madness Maven
to review. If you think Doomsinger
has looks that can kill, you're
right. At a 9-drop she qualifies for
the heavyweight division. For this
you get some fairly modest stats. 4
Power, 4 Defense and 10 Life are far
from dominating, but still solid.
Only the Defense is really lacking,
and this is a common shortcoming
with Madness figs. So with so-so
stats, is this venomous vixen really
worth considering for your Madness
warband? Simple answer: Yep. She
comes fully equipped with Warpstrike
5, which makes all the difference.
After movement abilities Warpstrike
is, in this reviewer's opinion, the
most potent blade ability going. Of
course not all Warpstrikes are
created equal, and at 5, this one
can get the job done. Sure,
Unspeakable Freak cuts loose with 7
dice, but it also costs you a
whopping 7 spawn points to trigger.
All-seeing Mage's Janus Warpstrike
may be theoretically capable of a
bigger strike as well, but in
practice it is difficult to do
better than 4. Team this girl with
Faceless Stalker to maximize your
chances at rolling a blade. Her
5-die assault lets you lob
collateral damage in to aid attacks
in other cells or pick off unengaged
cherry-pickers. This sexy siren is a
must for just about any Madness
warband.
Constructed: 4/5
Sealed: 3.5/5 (Her double aspect
cost hurts a little.)
Artwork 4/5 (Nice tats!) ;-)
