Welcome to Buckshot Roberts – The man with the long gun. Now interestingly, and I didnt know until I investigated he actually existed (well according to Wikipedia). He is famous for his stand against the Lincoln County Regulators (who IIRC included billy the kid). He also appears in the 1988 film Young guns.
Thanks to the rerelease and the discounts offered by Great Escape Games – I have the official model so we can have a look at his special abilities and card.
- LETS DANCE – when shooting with his Repeating Rifle – when this card is played Roberts gains a +1 to hit per enemy within 20cm of him.
Buckshot is a REP5 Character, with the standard stats for a 5 REP model but with Shooting and HtH at zero and NERVE at 3+ instead of 2+. He also has a 2 special rules.
HE’s KILLED MORE PEOPLE THAN SMALLPOX – Any model which Roberts shoots at always serves an additional -1 to any NERVE test it has to take.
BUCKSHOT is an interesting mid range character – his card special only works with his repeating rifle and potentially can be extremely deadly, along with his auto -1 on nerve tests resulting from his shots
So a Mid cost rogue with an interesting card.
