Kansyr

| Kansyr by Carlos Ezquerra Copyright Rebellion 2000AD Limited |
This alien is the last of the outlaws featured in the Strontium Dog Miniatures Game and while he is not the most proficient in combat, he is an intriguing and dangerous character nonetheless. Stats
As mentioned above, Kansyr is fairly poor at fighting with his hands or indeed with ranged weapons. Because of his sheer size, he is a slow but tough opponent, and his alien technology allows him to be highly elusive as well.
Note that his blaster has the Blister variant which means it ignores modifiers for cover. If enemies are going to attack Kansyr, cover will provide no refuge against his blaster!

Skills & Special Abilities
Halugin: This alien mind weapon adds +3 to his Evade stats making him a slippery opponent!
Mind Warp: Instead of using his weapons, this ability allows Kansyr to attempt to temporarily take control of the mind of an enemy combatant, allowing you take make a Single Action with that model!
No Cure: His ability to control the perceptions of his opponents makes Kansyr an even trickier enemy; you gain an extra Chicanery card if he is your leader!
Tactics for playing Kansyr
Similar to how he operates in the strip, Kansyr works best when he is out of harm's way, trying to manipulate enemy minds as they approach him. Keep him well away from your opponents and make use of Mind Warp every turn to attempt to take control of an enemy model to shoot an ally in the back! His Halugin and strong Resist make him an opponent that will be hard to hit and tough to wound making him very hard to kill! The blister variant gun means that when enemies close in, cover will not help them when he starts shooting! The No Cure Chicanery Card bonus is worth 5 of his 11 Notoriety alone, so he is a great and relatively cheap option for a leader. This makes him an attractive proposition, particularly if you load your gang up with large numbers of low quality characters!
Overall
Some outlaws are cowardly but cunning! Kansyr is one of those! Not outrightly powerful but his potential extra Chicanery Card (if he is leader) and his Mind Warp ability make him well worth the points!
