HQ: Death Reaper

Going through some HQ stuff for.. a number of good reasons, and I'm compiling some released Monster cards (making EU cards based on monsters released in White Dwarf, and other publications).

Now.. In the Marvel HeroQuest Special, which most of the basic monsters were the Skaven and troll re-used for White Dwarf #145 (though the troll gained 3 body points), Introduces the Wandering Monster 'Death Reaper' for the 'Revenge of the Weather-man' Quest. It kinda appears to also appear in the mini-comic story In that it is a Skeleton with a scythe, with a cloak (which the only other skeleton is shown as having one but it's barely seen, who is not only given bit of a fancy battle, but causes ice damage..

anyway, the copy I'm reading from.. is missing some information.. I'm not sure if it's a print problem or.. what but.. No mind or Body points stated at all. So it seams when it's 'summoned', it stays... Which is far enough and explains why it gives a number of 'token' stand-ins.. but.. oohh nasty... and it doesn't state that this is a feature of the creature... Anyone got any ideas or maybe a copy where it has the text (the defence is bloody hard to read cause it's on the line between art and background where they change the text from white to black.
 
There appears to be a copy of the magazine on that rather popular Archive of Internet stuff... I can see why the printing is a bit squiffy.

Wandering Monster: Death Reaper


Move 8
Attack 3
Defence 3
Use the Skeleton figure for the is or the special tiles form the Haards Pack on Page 2. When a Death Reaper appears the air goes cold around it. Any character hit by a Death Reaper risks being frozen. Roll 1 Combat Die. If you roll a round black shield you are frozen. At the start of your round toll 1 Combat Die again. If you roll a white shield you have thawed out and are free to move once more.


I was thinking about that magazine only this morning, wondering if my old copy still existed. I'd seen the tokens up for sale on an ebay browse the other day.
 
'hazards pack' ^_^. Didn't know they had a copy but fair enough. Annoyingly that doesn't seam to help much.. I'm guessing the Attack and Defence are dice to roll but not sure.. might be a static attack and defence.. and still annoying that it's Mind and body aren't there..
