Welcome to another HeroClix post. With the news this week there were previews of Lois Lane Superwoman, Lucy Lane Superwoman, Maxwell Lord and Lobo from the Superman set, as well as "Master Chife and Cortana" and two Covenant Grunts from the Halo set. On a personal note, on Saturday I picked up six Captain America Grammy Feed Boosters from HMV. The pulls were much better. I got Black Widow, Captain America, a Howling Commando, a Hydra Officer, Red Skull and a S.H.I.E.L.D. Field Agent. No doubles, sweet. Sadly no Sin which would had been nice to have pulled.
This week was the thrid and final week of Déjà vu. The figure I picked for the Déjà vu event was the Black Widow from the main Captain America set. This week is the 500 points game. I went for an Avengers team who were:
Black Widow (Captain America) 85
Thor (Thor Fast Forces) 150
Iron Man (Secret Invasion) 188
Captain America (Hammer of Thor) 72 + Inside Information (Feat) 4 = 76
=499 points and four re-rolls.
On the first round I was up against Darren. He was use a Thunderbolts team who were:
Luke Cage (Captain America) 98 + Thunderbolts (ATA) 8 + Inside Information (Feat) 4 = 110
Bullseye (Web of Spider-Man) 117 + Thunderbolts (ATA) 8 = 125
Moonstone (Hammer of Thor) 76 + Thunderbolts (ATA) 8 = 84
Venom (Hammer of Thor) 73 + Thunderbolts (ATA) 8 = 81
Songbird (Fantastic Forces) 44 + Thunderbolts (ATA) 8 = 52
Doctor Octopus (Rookie Ultimates) 39 + Thunderbolts (ATA) 8 = 47
=499 points and four re-rolls.
Darren creamed my team. Luckily I did manage to KO both Venom and Doctor Octopus. On the second round I was up against Michael. He was use a Martial Artist team who were:
Elektra (Human Secret Invasion) 80
Power Man and Iron Fist (Secret Invasion) 136
Tarantula (Secret Invasion) 51
Nightcrawler (Web of Spider-Man) 86
Mandarin (Veteran Universe) 141
=494 points and two re-rolls.
At first it was a nightmare, Elektra kept on passing her Super Senses rolls and Nightcrawler kept passing his Shape Change rolls. However I finally managed to damage them and took down his whole team only losing Black Widow. On the third and final round I was up against Adrian. He was use a Sinestro Corps team who were:
Lyssa Drak (Arkham Asylum) 72
Amon Sur (Arkham Asylum) 70
Arkillo (Arkham Asylum) 126
Scarecrow (Blackest Night) 85
Sinestro (Crisis) 146
=499 points and four re-rolls.
This was a long game. I placed my team were he could not see them so he would have to come to me. It was a a tough battle as everyone know this Sinestro Corps team was a tough team to beat due to the amount of Perplex on it. However when time was called I had KOed Arkillo and heavy wounded both Sinestro and Amon Sur, while he had only wounded Iron Man. Things might have been different if he managed to hit Captain America with Arkillo's Flurry. Over all this week I won two out of the three games this week. With the over all in Déjà vu event I got second place with three while Darren was in first place with nine straight wins.
Next week will be the first game of In Honour Of events. This one is In Honour Of Adrian. 400 points, four characters (no more, no less), have of the team must have the Fantastic Four TA or keyword, no ATAs.
For this week's DreamClix I will be doing dial ideas for Manananggal and Agus from the Blade anime; Kaname Ohgi from Code Geass; Linna Yamazaki from Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 and Ranfan from Dragon Ball. But first we have the dial designs for Mastermind and Professor Yui Sasaki from the X-Men anime; Needle Mog from CosmicBreak; Shuichi Aizawa from Death Note and C.C. from Code Geass.
Next we have Manananggal from the Blade anime. It was a large monstrous vampire that Deacon Frost freed. It is able to slip into two. To do this in game form I will use the re-moveable pieces rule from the Captain America set. It should have a trait called "Separate", the Flight symbol, the Giant symbol, Super Strength and Toughness.
Separate: Manananggal begins the game with "Manananggal's Legs" attached. While "Manananggal's Legs" is attached Manananggal can use Regeneration but it has the Boot symbol instead of the Flight symbol. If "Manananggal's Legs" are is you deployment zone, Manananggal can use Charge. When "Manananggal's Legs" is KOed, reattach them to Manananggal. When Manananggal is KOed, remove "Manananggal's Legs" from the map.
Manananggal's Legs: Movement 6, Attack 8, Defence 18 with Toughness, Damage 2 and Range 0.
It should have about seven clicks of health and starting values of Movement 8, Attack 10, Defense 18, Damage 3 and Range 0. It should not have a TA and its keyword should be Monster.
Next is Agus from the Blade anime. He was a village shaman who believed he could turn vampires back to humans with his villages holy water, however sadly he was wrong. Before could turn into a vampire after being bitten, he was able to turn the holy water into a weapon against vampires which led to his death. He should have Outwit, Support and a last click special called "Holy Water".
Holy Water: If Agus is in water terrain, him can use Pulse Wave as if he has a range of 8. If a character with the Monster keyword is hit with Agus's Pulse Way, they are dealt three clicks of damage instead of one.
He should have about four clicks of health and starting values of Movement 6, Attack 8, Defense 17, Damage 1 and Range 0. His TA should be the Mystics one and his keyword should be Mystical.
Next is Kaname Ohgi from Code Geass. Ohgi is was the leader of a Japanese resistance cell, which he took over after the death of his best friend Naoto, Kallen's older brother. Having formerly been a teacher, he admits that being a leader is not his strong point. When Zero decided that he needed his own personal army and choose Ohgi's group to be it. Ohgi was made the second in command of the Black Knights. He should have a second click Leadership and some Perplex. He should have four clicks of health and starting values of Movement 8, Attack 8, Defense 17, Damage 1 and Range 4 with one target. His TA should be the Black Knights one and he should have the keyword Black Knights.
Next is Linna Yamazaki from Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040. Linna was a farm girl who traveled to Megatokyo to become a Knight Saber and to get away from her overbearing family. An office lady for the Hugh-Geit Corporation, she is constantly harassed by her bosses but continues to be a positive, friendly and outgoing person who dreams of helping others. After joining the Knight Sabers, she forms a close sisterly relationship with Nene. She should have the "Hard Suit" trait, Hypersonic, Charge, "Cutter Ribbons", Invulnerability, Toughness and Exploit Weakness.
Hard Suit: Linna can use Leap/Climb.
Cutter Ribbons: Linna can use Blades or Flurry as part of a Hypersonic or Charge attack. if she uses Flurry she must attack two different characters that are adjacent to one and other.
She should have six clicks of health and starting values of Movement 12, Attack 9 (but goes up to 10), Defense 18, Damage 3 and Range 4 with two targets. Her TA should be the Knight Sabers one and her keywords should be Knight Sabers and Armour.
Lastly this week we have Ranfan from Dragon Ball. Ranfan is a competitor in the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament who uses her looks and guise that she is a "defenseless" woman as a weapon. For example, she shrieks when someone is about to hit her, causing them to pause, and in that time will deliver a crushing inch or kick. If that technique fails, then she strips to her underwear and tries to shock or embarrass her opponent. One of her more powerful attacks includes using air friction to heat her fist to deliver extra damage. She should have Plasticity, two specials called "Defenseless" and "Underwear" and Close Combat Expert.
Defenseless: Ranfan can use Sharp Change and Super Senses.
Underwear: Ranfan can use Incapacitate as if she has a range value of 6.
She should have five clicks of health and starting values of Movement 7, Attack 9, Defense 19, Damage 2 and Range 0. She should not have a TA and her keyword should be Martial Artist.
Well that is it for this week, until next time have fun.
