Agent Carr

[link=http://imageshack.us][/link]

One of the more versatile units in Heroscape, Agent Carr can shoot at fair range and with moderate power, ignore enemies when crossing the map and take no leaving-engagement attacks, and can go toe-to-toe with the famous Sgt. Drake Alexander.

Carr's strength is his mobility and his melee presence; although his movement is only 5 (pretty average among HS units), he can pass through enemy-occupied hexes and is not subject to parting blows.  In other words, he can come and go as he damn well pleases.  Up close, his Sword of Reckoning gives him a massive 6-dice attack: together with Sgt. Drake, he shares the highest attack rank in the ROTV Master Set.  He's a no-brainer choice for capture the flag scenarios and other rush-in rush-out jobs.  At 100 points, he is very much worth his cost.

Aside from his melee presence, he can also shoot his (tiny) gun for 2 attack dice at a range of 6.  Nothing great (about as good as the Marro Warriors), but sometimes you get lucky.  I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

A great stand-alone figure, Carr doesn't combo particularly well with anyone.  With his slightly above-average defense of 4, and his low-for-a-hero 4 wounds, he's arguably better off on the move and on the attack rather than holding position - so low-movement units beware.  Raelin can help him, but then Raelin helps everyone.  Her flight and move of 6 can help her keep up with him, but not when he's running around and through enemies - only when he's on the flank or the edge of an enemy formation.

Carr would be exposed to danger if his massive sword attack failed to kill an opponent and left him open to a counter-attack before his next move.  He could benefit from being teamed with a ranged or otherwise flexible support unit who can finish off foes he has only wounded.  The Krav Maga Agents come to mind, as their special defense can help keep them alive while they provide Carr with covering fire.  But then again, they mesh well with any other unit with similar needs.

Against Carr:
Stay out of his way, then jump him after his turn.  His slightly lower life total means you probably won't have to work too hard.  Just watch out for his backup.

I saw both of these for around P2K at a store in SM North Edsa.  There was a huge starter box (I think) there, too.
