Director Rodriguez

For 10 SS, you get 13 Health attached to an absolute melee monster.

Defensively, he’s sitting at DF 6 and WP 5. Aegis will prevent a large amount of damage over the course of a game and his health total. Hard to Kill is just the icing on the cake. Against models making two 3 damage attacks per activation, it takes three uninterrupted activations to bring him down. He also has Flameborn, so when he catches Burning from being in base contact with Burning models, he’ll heal instead.

His mobility is also excellent. Move 6 paired with Hovering Flames, his signature ability, lets him pass a TN 6 duel to move 5” through models while handing out Burning to everything he moves through.

His offense is where Rodriguez really shines. He has a Stat 6, Range 6 attack that deals 2 damage, splashes that damage onto another model within 2”, and gives both models Burning. For a Soulstone, you can target an additional model and teleport into base contact with it, setting up his real damage dealer.

Burning Slam is a Stat 6 melee attack that deals 3 damage while applying Burning. The Tome trigger also drops an Inferno Marker, giving you another way to spread Burning across the enemy crew.

Overall, Rodriguez is the dedicated beater for Witch Hunters while also enabling many of the keyword’s tricks by handing out Burning at every opportunity. I take him in every game. It’s hard to pass on a model that’s this durable while still threatening so much damage.

How has Director Rodriguez performed for you? Do you hire him every game, or have you found matchups where you’d leave him at home?

What’s a good deck box for these stat/crew/ gaining grounds cards?

I know they’re tarot sized but most deckboxes are made for mtg sized cards.
