Welcome to the first post of the month and another HeroClix post. With the HeroClix news this week, there were previews of Manhunter Grandmaster (Cyborg Superman), Matter-Eater Lad, Princess Projectra, Invisible Kid and Brainiac 5 from the Superman set; a Spartan, a Marine, an Elite and a Jackal from the Halo set; and Nite Owl, Ozymandias, Dr. Manhattan, Silk Spectre and Rorschach from the Watchmen Fast Forces box set. I forgot to say last week that all the Watchman Fast Forces previews are HCRealms exclusive.
This week was 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. I decided to go for the New Fantastic Four, however as there is no Hulks was the keyword I went for She-Hulk instead. On general comic book news I learned that the Fantastic Four are no more, they call them selves the FF, the Future Foundation. Well anyway, my team was:
 |
| The New Fantastic Four |
Ghost Rider (Veteran Fantastic Forces) 102 + Monster Hunter (Feat) 3 + Inside Information (Feat) 4 = 109
Spider-Man (Experience Mutant Mayhem) 97 + Stunning Blow (Feat) 10 = 107
Logan (Veteran Clobberin Time) 60 + Automatic Registration (Feat) 12 = 72
She-Hulk (Experience Supernova) 110
=399 points and four re-rolls.
On the first round I was up against Adrian. He was using a Fantastic Four team who were:
Mr. Fantastic (Secret Invasion) 100 + Brilliant Tactician (Feat) 20 + Inside Information (Feat) 4 = 124
The Thing (Secret Invasion) 100 + Inside Information (Feat) 4 = 104
Invisible Woman (Secret Invasion) 100
Black Panther (Universe) 46
=374 points and four re-rolls.
Mr. Fantastic's +/-2 Perplex boosted Brilliant Tactician, on top of two Inside Information was too nasty. I ended up losing the game due to their high values from to the combination of feats and special powers. On the second round I was up against Michael. He was using another Fantastic Four team who were:
Human Torch (Secret Invasion) 100
Reed Richards (Secret Invasion) 100
Luke Cage (Secret Invasion) 85 285
Black Panther (Avengers) 92 + Brilliant Tactician (Feat) 4 = 96
=381 point and four re-rolls.

| The FF, Future Foundation |
This game was very close, but due to time and the fact that I could not roll a seven or more when a seven to hit, I ended up losing. I On the third and finally round I was up against Darren. He was using, guess what? Yet another Fantastic Four team who were:
Mr. Fantastic (Secret Invasion) 100 + Brilliant Tactician (Feat) 20 =1 20
Spider-Man (Secret Invasion) 50
Invisible Woman (Captain America) 110
Human Torch (Captain America) 120
=400 points and four re-rolls.
This match was quick. He white wasted me. The lack of move and attack abilities and Range after Ghost Rider was taken down crippled me. My team this week was crap, but most of the time, comic team (not theme teams) are not fantastic. They is always one or two figures that let the team down. Plus Secret Invasion Mr. Fantastic should be band from have Brilliant Tactician as he is too good with it.
Next week will be the second game of In Honour Of events. This one is In Honour Of Me. 600 points, the force much have an Iron Man (figures with his real name like Tony Stark or Anthony Stark are aloud), not feats. In each game Iron Man will be given a random upgrade for only that game. This is to show him testing out new gadgets. The week after will be In Honour Of Michael. Details for that game will come next week.
For this week's DreamClix I will be doing dial ideas for Polong and Mr. Sergei from the Blade anime; a Madripoor Grenader from the Wolverine anime; a Worker Boomer from Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040; and Ururu Tsumugiya from Bleach. But first we have the dial designs for Archangel and the "Colossus and Rouge" duo figure from the X-Men anime; Daley Wong from Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040; Mecha Knight from CosmicBreak; and a Black Knight from Code Geass.
Next we have the Polong from the Blade anime. They were given to Jararl as extra help with dealing with Blade. They are loyal to who ever gives them blood and are able to multiple when given blood. They should have A Trait called "Out Numbered", Super Senses, Charge and a special called "Greater Numbers".
Out Numbered: When Polong deals damage, place a another figure called Polong from outside the game adjustment to this one on the same click as this one. If you can not place the new Polong this way, place it in your starting zone instead. The new Polong can not be given an action this turn.
Greater Numbers: Polong gains a +1 to its Attack value. for every other friendly figure called Polong adjacent to it.
It should have four clicks of health and starting values of Movement 9, Attack 9, Defense 17, Damage 2 and Range 0. Their TA should be the Minions of Doom one and their keywords should be Existence, Madripool and Monster.
Next is Mr. Sergei from the Blade anime. Mr. Sergei is the vampire Deacon Frost sent to handle things with Jararl. Like the X-Men Colossus, Sergei's vampire powers lets his turn his skin into an organic metal. Funny thing is that it is part of the Upyr vampires, the legendary Russian vampires. He shouldn't have starting click of just Leadership and then he should have Invulnerability and Close Combat Expert. He should have about five clicks of health and starting values of Movement 8, Attack 10, Defense 17, Damage 2 and Range 6 with one target. He should not have a TA and his keywords should be Existence, Madripool and Monster.

| Madripoor |
Next is Madripoor Grenader from the Wolverine anime. These are the second of what is now three new Wolverine anime characters. These guys sports the new Grenade mechanics from Gears of War and Halo. They should have Stealth, Running Shot, a minion power called "Hardened" and Frag Grenades.
Hardened: If this character is within eight squares of a friendly character with the Madripoor keyword that cost more than this character, the this character gains Toughness.
They should have about four clicks of health and Starting values of Movement 7, Attack 9, Defense 16, Damage 2 and Range 6 with one target. They should not have a TA and they should have the keyword Madripoor.
Next is the Worker Boomer from Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040. The worker Boomer are Boomers used in construction and demolition. Like the Retail Boomers these will have a split dial AE combo. The non out of control side should have about four clicks of health, the Alter Ego special called "Out of Content", Super Strength and Toughness.
Out of Control: Alter Ego. Give is character a power action. Click the dial down to the orange line.
The out of Control side should have six clicks with a orange starter line on the fourth click, Flurry, Super Strength, and special called "Absorb", Invulnerability, Toughness and Perplex.
Absorb: Worker Boomer can use Steal Energy, but only on characters with ever the Armour, Robot or Vehicle keyword and do not have the Knight Sabers TA.
The first side should have the starting values of Movement 5, Attack 9, Defense 14, Damage 3 and Range 4 with one target. While the second side should have Movement 7, Attack 9, Defense 16, Damage 4 and Range 4 with one target. It should bot have a TA and it should have the keyword Robot.
Lastly we have Ururu Tsumugiya from Bleach. Ururu is another young employee of the Urahara Shop. She is always being picked on by her fellow college Jinta. She should have Charge, Range Combat Expert, Combat Reflexes and Close Combat Expert. She should have about four clicks of health and starting values of Movement 12, Attack 9, Defense 17, Damage 3 and Range 8 with one target. Her TA should be the Bleach one and her keywords should be Kid, Karakura Town and Karakure Superheroes.
Well that is it for this week, until next time have fun.
