So I have two questions regarding Vanessa's Command Construct ability. Namely, is the "(1) Action" she can force the target to take limited to the 1 AP Actions on the back of the target's card? Or does this apply to any action the target can take that costs only 1 AP (e.g., have the target walk or take an interact action)?

Secondly, can she use it to make Lazarus' use Assimilate? I'd assume that since it's a 0 action you can't take it, but I was wondering if there's any errata on this that makes it a little more clear.

Well that certainly explains the card stock; still don't know why Vanessa's card is so weird but it doesn't seem problematic.

So I recently picked up some new Outcast models, namely the M2E versions of Vanessa, Lazarus and Killjoy. The models themselves look fine but a few things seem off. For one, the plastics look a lot darker than the other plastic kits I have; I also thought it was a little odd that Vanessa came with one of the old slotted bases.

The real oddity is in the cards. Vanessa's card looks blurrier than the others and she has blonde hair in the artwork when she's clearly a brunette on the box. Killjoy's card is also clearly made of a different stock from the others and the color contrast is super dark; it literally looks more "Ten Thunders Orange" than "Outcast Gold."

I was wondering if anyone else who picked up these models has noticed a similar problem. Is this just the way they are or is this a quality control hiccup?

So I'm making some badlands themed bases for my first ever crew and think that some sagebrush or tumbleweed would make a great accent. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make these items or even recommend some ready made scenics that would match up?
