HeroClix the 6th of October, The Sentinels March

(more Pictures and Dials coming soon) Welcome to another week of HeroClix. The previews for this week were Abomination from the Incredible Hulk set; and Gandalf the Grey form the Lord of the Rings. I will be trying to get him for my Sorcerer Supreme team. Also the first poll on the HeroClix home page is down and the results with the next poll will be up later today.

This week's game was, as the brothers are not around, Sentinels vs Mutants. Darren bought the Sentinels and I brought 1,200 point X-Men force. However Michael changed his mind at the last moment and I had to split my into two teams. The total team was with the name of who controlled who:

Beast (Mutations and Monsters) 73 Me
Colossus (Mutations and Monsters) 158 Michael
Cuckoo (Mutations and Monsters) 40 Me
Cyclops (Giant Size X-Men) 110 Me
Gambit/Rogue (Giant Size X-Men) 172 Me
Kitty Pryde (Captain America) 111 Michael
Lockheed (Giant Size X-Men) 47 Michael
Moonstar (Veteran Fantastic Forces) 90 Me
Professor X (Giant Size X-Men) 123 Michael
Psylocke (Giant Size X-Men) 74 Michael
Storm (Giant Size X-Men) 86 Me
Wolverine (Fantastic Forces) 71 Michael
Jean Gray (Veteran Universe) 51 Michael
=1,206 points and eight re-rolls.

Darren's team was:

Sentinel Mark II (G08, Giant Size X-Men) 300
Sentinel Mark V (G09, Giant Size X-Men) 300
Advanced Sentinel: Beta-7 (Days of Future Past) 300
2x Advanced Sentinel: Alpha-3 (Days of Future Past) 150 x 2 = 300
=1,200 points and no re-rolls.

The X-Men destroyed the Sentinels with only Beast, Colossus, Cuckoo, Gambit/Rogue, Kitty Pryde, Moonstar, Psylocke, Storm and Jean Gray. Gambit/Rogue was really good with the special Outwit and double Psychic Blast. As we had time we decided to battle another wave of Sentinels with the serving members. Sadly X-Men did not long against the second wave due to their wounds and the lack of numbers.

Next week will be the game this week was ment to be. Dynamic Duo. 500 points. No Feat and Additional Team Abilities. Two of the charactersmust know each other quite well.

Now for DreamClix and the start of the Halloween special month. I will be doing ideas for a Zombie horde token and Count Dracula for the special Halloween side; Jack the Ripper from Souls Eater; Paz from Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex; and Tygra from Thundercats. But first here are the Dial designs from young Eric Brook and Baron Howard from the Blade anime; another Sakura from Street Fighter; Rogue IS from IS: Infinite Stratos and Yuma gunner class from Final Fantasy X-2.

Next is the first of my Halloween specials, the Zombie horde token. After a lot of thinking I decided to us the new horde tokens rules  from the Lord of the Rings as it the idea for generic zombies. They should have a trait called "Brainz!", a stack special call "Always Behind You" Charge and Invulnerability.
Brainz!: When Zombie horde token KOs an opponents character, place another Zombie horde token onto it from outside the game.
Always Behind You: Replace movement value with 4+S.
They should have combat values of Movement 5, Attack 9, Defense 15, Damage 2 and Range 0.

Next is the second of my Halloween specials, Count Dracula. He should have Mind Control, Leap Climb, Blades, Steal Energy, Indomitable, Super Senses, Regeneration, Outwit and Shape Change. He should have about eight clicks of health and starting values of Movement 10, Attack 11, Defense 19, Damage 3 and Range 0. His TA should be the Mystics one and his keywords should be Monster, Mystical and Ruler.

Next is Jack the Ripper from Souls Eater. Ok I original stated I would be doing two Halloween things which included Soul Eater. However I changed my mind. He was an evil human with claws, a mask and a bondage outfit. It was suggested that like his real life namesake, he was fond of killing woman, as after he was shown murdering a woman and eating her soul, he immediately went after another woman who bore witness to his killing. He should have Hyper-sonic, Flurry, Blades and Toughness. He should have about four clicks of health and starting values of Movement 8, Attack 9, Defense 17, Damage 2 and Range 0. He should not have a TA and keyword should be Brute.

Next is Paz from Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex. Paz is an investigator in Section 9. Before joining Public Security Section 9, Paz was rumoured by various police circles to have been a gangster in several yakuza groups in Japan. Paz is the backup "jake-of-all-trades" for the field agents and is also a known chain smoker within the unit. Upon his first encounter with the Major, he remarked, "I never sleep with the same woman twice." He uses a folding knife in combat. Out of the whole team Paz is the hardest one to do. He should have Running Shot, Defend and Perplex. He should have about four clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 8, Attack 9, Defense 18, Damage 2 and Range 4 with one target. His TA should be the Section 9 one and his keywords should be Section 9 and Detective.

Lastly we have Tygra from Thundercats. Tygra is the adoptive brother of Lion-O. His greatest abilities are invisibility and mind tricks on his opponents which come in handy in a battle. He also uses a whip and a hand gun taken from the lizardmen. Also, he has demonstrated a competitive streak, particularly when it comes to his relationship with his younger brother, Lion-O. He even stated to his younger brother that, "When it comes to everything but the crown, you will always be in second place!" He should have a special called "Invisible", Incapacitated, Toughness and Willpower.
Invisible: Tygra can use Stealth, Shape Change and Leap Climb. Tygra gains a bonus to his Defense value equal to 2 minus the number of action tokens on him.
He should have about about six clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 9, Attack 10, Defense 17, Damage 2 and Range 4. His TA should be the Thundercats one and his keywords should be Animal, Thunderian and Warrior.

Well this is it for this week. Until next time, have fun.
