I imagine games with this list to be short

I just ran against someone running fearlessness on N'dru instead of lone wolf. Due to some good manuevering and bumping, I prevented N'dru from getting his cluster missiles off.

But had he gotten them off, with glitterstem active, he'd have had 5 potential hits on each attack. That'd knock out 63% of a Decimaters health in one shot.

Then after the cluster shot, N'dru is running around with the potential of doing five damage each turn, and all for the cheap ass price of 24 points. A naked TBC, Fenn, or Zuck all start at 28 points and have the same damage potential.

Heck, I wonder if this is a valid option to try:

Z-95 Headhunter: · N'dru Suhlak (17)

Fearlessness (1)

Vectored Thrusters (2)

20 points, 5 possible damage at R1 if positioned at R3+ of friendlies. Use the barrel roll as a tool to help make sure you are at R3, and you set up fearlessness positions. You could still throw stems and clusters on for 26 points.
