Miniature Monday - Montrose Cranks Up the Heat

Welcome back to Miniature Monday! We've spent the last few updates talking about the progress we're making with test prints, but now it's time to reveal another miniature. Today's model is Montrose, another heroic Psion, though his spiked armour might first lead you to suspect otherwise.

Looking closely at the image, you can see how our scanning techniques pick up even the fine, circuit-like pattern on his pants. The miniature will look even better once it's digitally cleaned up. Montrose was not included in the Trinity: Battleground box set, and was only available as a metal miniature in a blister pack with another Psion we haven't revealed yet. He was a Tier 4 character, like the electrokinetic Dr. Sager or the towering Naushka, but his powers were focused on tactical utility over raw damage. Liquify allowed him to control the battlefield and deprive his enemies of cover by melting terrain into slag, while his Ignition power set foes alight and left them with the choice of taking continual damage or spending valuable Action Points trying to put themselves out. His Danger Sense power came from the rare Clairsentience Aptitude, and allowed him to take cover in response to any enemy attack, negating the threat entirely at the cost of giving up his own attacks for the turn. When it came to equipment, Montrose's arsenal was similar effective but not flashy. He carried a Voss 63K Laser carbine, which put out respectable damage at considerable range, and wore a Field Suit to protect himself. His skills furthered the theme, with Firearms and Melee training to make his attacks even more accurate, and Pack Horse to carry more equipment. When combined with his already impressive Ranged score of 6, he was deadly accurate, and he had enough AP to make multiple attacks every turn. All told, Montrose was an effective soldier who forced his opponents to make tough choices in how to react to him, a valuable trait on the battlefield.
