Heroclix special, Bloody Computers and Shoulders

Due is problems with my shoulder and the lack of sleep due to it, I was not able to make it to HeroClix so it was cancelled. So there is no game report in this week’s post. Also due to the computer problems I have been having, the DreamClix side to the post will be the same size as normal HeroClix post (10 ideas/designs), instead of the bigger amount I normally done during a week without HeroClix. But first there is the HeroClix news. This week there has been previews of Hulk Robot from the Incredible Hulk set; Darkseid, Bizarro-Girl and Zibarro from the Superman; a Spartan with a battle rifle and Master Chief with a battle rifle from the Halo set; and Ringbearer and Sauron from the Lord of the Rings starter set. Epic Action? Book Symbol? Horde Token? OK. Lord of the Rings will be adding a lot of new rules to the game.

Now for the DreamClix side of the post. This week I am doing a dial idea for the Suikou Vampire generic, the Pureblood Knight generic, the Pureblood Noble generic and the Giant Vampire Bird Monster from the Blade anime; Ishikawa from Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex; the Usopp Pirates from One Piece; and a AD Police Office generic from Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040. But first here is the dial design for the Madripool Grenadier from the Wolverine anime and the Werewolf from the Blade anime.

Next we have a Suikou Vampire generic from the Blade anime. Earlier I did a Suikou vampire beforehand called Tanaka, however during episode 11 it was shown that Deacon Frost had more vampires of this type. This version will be a generic version that should have the Swim symbol, a special called "Under Water Combat", Super Senses and Perplex.

Underwater Combat: If Tanaka begins the turn in water terrain he can use Charge.

They should have about four clicks of health and starting values of Movement 9, Attack 9, Defense 17, Damage 2 and Range 0. They should not have a TA and their keywords should be Monster and Existence.

Next is the Pureblood Knight generic from the Blade anime. The Purebloods decided to attack the Existence’s home base with their army of vampire knights. These guys are in full knight’s armour and on horseback. They should be on a double base and should have the feet transporter symbol, Blades, Toughness and Willpower. They should have about five clicks of health and starting values of Movement 12, Attack 10, Defense 17, Damage 2 and Range 0. They should not have a TA and their keywords should be Monster and Pureblood.

Next is the Pureblood Noble generic from the Blade anime. Ok they never appeared in combat but I wanted to do them anyway. They should have Leap Climb, Leadership, Indomitable, Toughness and Leadership. They should have about five to six clicks of health and starting values of Movement 8, Attack 10, Defense 17, Damage 2 and Range 0. Their TA should be the Mystical one and their keywords should be Monster, Pureblood and Ruler.

Next is the Giant Vampire Bird Monster from the Blade anime. This is one of the two giant monsters that protected the Existence’s main base. It should have the flight symbol, the giant symbol, Charge, Toughness and Leadership. It should have about six clicks of health and starting values of Movement 12, Attack 10, Defense 17, Damage 3 and Range 0. It should not have a TA and its keywords should be Monster and Existence.

Next is the Seven Headed Giant Vampire Snake Monster from the Blade anime. This is the other of the two giant monsters that protected the Existence’s main base. It should have the giant symbol, Fluffy Toughness and Regeneration.  It should have about six clicks of health and starting values of Movement 6, Attack 10, Defense 16, Damage 3 and Range 4 with three targets. It should not have a TA and its keywords should be Monster and Existence.

Next is Ishikawa from Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex. Ishikawa is the information warfare/technology specialist in Public Security Section 9. It has not been stated in the series thus far as to the degree that he has been cybernetically augmented, though character dialogue (and his long recovery time from an injury) suggests that he is one of the least augmented members of Section 9. His appearance is characterized by a large beard and perpetually unkept hair, and he is the oldest of Section 9's field operatives. Ishikawa is especially well-known for his frequent, long-winded and often rather complicated expository speeches to the other characters, in order to inform them of new story developments. He formerly served with Kusanagi and Batou in South America when they were with the Ground Self-Defense Forces in the Japanese UN contingent. He was one of the earliest members recruited to be in Section 9 and seems to know the Major and her dislikes quite well. He is shown as being in charge of a pachinko parlor called Parlor Ishikawa, and on occasion uses the cyberbrains of the old men who play there to complete particularly heavy data gathering. Ishikawa is the most seemingly laid-back member of the unit. He should have Outwit and Perplex. He should have about four or five clicks of health and starting values of Movement 7, Attack 9, Defense 17, Damage 1 and Range 6 with one target. His TA should be the Section 9 one and his keywords should be Section 9 and JSDF.

Next is the Usopp Pirates from One Piece. The Usopp Pirates was comprised of three village children who joined Usopp in telling lies and other assorted games. This will be a trio with the duo ability. They should also have a trait called “Supporter of the Straw Hats”, Stealth and Perplex.

Supporter of the Straw Hats: If Usopp is a part of you force Merry gains the Straw Hat Crew keyword.

They should have about four clicks of health and starting values of Movement 8, Attack 8, Defense 17, Damage 1 and Range 4 with two targets. They should not have a TA and their keywords should be Citizen and Kid.

Lastly we have the AD Police Office generic from Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040. The AD Police are a special police force, who are tasked to deal with Boomer-related crimes. They are special equipped to deal with standard boomers. They should have Smoke Cloud, Toughness, Range Combat Expert and a minion special called “Chain of Command”.

Chain of Command: Minion - If there is a friendly character within 8 squares of this character with both the AD Police and Detective keywords, this character can use Willpower.

They should have about four clicks of health and starting values of Movement 8, Attack 9, Defense 17, Damage 1 and Range 6 with one target. Their TA should be the AD Police one and their keywords should be Police and AD Police.

Sorry for the lack of images for the Blade anime dial ideas. The images are on an external hard drive due to the problems I have been having and I do not have the time to miss around plugging it in and finding them as I only just about have time to post this post before packing up the laptop to be sent off for repairs. That is it for now. Until next time, have fun.
