Mesh (Black Mask Henchman)

Mesh is the last of my Black Mask Henchmen (except the Mobsters: Boris and Dirty Tom), and should be going straight into my revised crew line-up. As it doesn't look like any more Black Mask Henchmen blisters are on the near horizon, the only thing likely to get swapped in is more Blackgate Prisoners for the weaker Henchmen I am currently using

The painting was done in a few brief, quick sessions over consecutive evenings, and I was surprised at how quickly I finished the mini especially in light off having managed to finish around 10 BMG minis over a period of 8 or so weeks, especially finishing this hot on the heels of painting Nite Owl.

Getting this done has got me thinking about exactly how I want to configure the crew for my next couple of games. Mesh is replacing Turk, a mainstay of my crews so far. In terms of pros and cons, Mesh just about comes out on top for me:

1. Reputation: Mesh 22/Turk 25
2. Funding: Turk $400/Mesh $600
3. Maximum Attacks per Activation: 4 for Turk/3 for Mesh
4. Action Counters for Maximum Attack: 2 AC for Mesh/4 AC + 1 SC for Turk!
5. Maximum Base Potential Damage: 9 Blood for Mesh/4 Blood and 4 Stun for Turk
6. Range: Mesh unlimited/Turk 20 cm
7. Close Shooting: Turk has the Light rule/Mesh does not have Light
8. Collateral Die: Mesh has Brutal/Turk has no extra bonus
9. Ammo: Turk 4/Mesh 2
10. Endurance: Turk 5/Mesh 4
11. Strength (as back-up if caught in close combat): Mesh 4+/Turk 5+
