HeroClix, the 15th of December, Halo vs DC

Welcome to another week of HeroClix. The previews for this week were of Cosmic Hulk and Black Bolt from the Incredible Hulk set. Also the Incredible Hulk set was released this week. Looking at this week's previews and the other Incredible Hulk characters in the units section on HCRealms, there will be Fast Forces sets for Giant Size X-Men and Captain America and Medusa might be in ever Galactic Guardians or Mighty Avengers. Also I hear/seen on the web that Master Mold is one of the Colossals in the Super Boosters of Galactic Guardians as well as a Mole Monster; they will be a Rick Jones Captain Marvel and there will be a Rick Jones Genis-Vell, Thor, Hawkeye, Wolverine, a Ant Man and Wasp duo figure and a Lockjaw and Hairball duo figure in the Mighty Avengers set. Oh and a poster of a Avengers movie set coming in March. I have a feeling that this will be a large single figure set like Street Fighter and Lord of the Rings single boosters. This is one set I will defiantly be getting. The only thing is the set is ment to have characters from Thor and Captain America that are not in the Avengers film, but not both Iron Man films. Damn it, I want Wipelash and his robot drone (old rumours say War Machine is in the film, but I have not seen anything to back it up).

This week's game was a 600 points, four actions, no feats and no Superman from the Superman set. This week I tried out a Violet Lantern Corps (also known as the Star Sapphire Corps) team who were:

3x Zamaron (75th) 67 x 3 = 201
Queen Aga'po (75th) 166
Wonder Woman (Blackest Night) 215
=582 points and four re-rolls.

On the first round I was up against Michael. He was use a Covenant team who were:

2x Grunt with Fuel Rod Cannon (Halo) 40 x 2 = 80
2x Grunt with Plasma Pistol (Halo) 26 x 2 = 52
Grunt with Plasma Grenade (Halo) 42
Elite with Carbine (Halo) 84
Elite with Plasma Rifle (Halo) 69
Elite Zealot (Halo) 121
Prophet of Regret (Halo) 150
=598 points and four re-rolls.

Wow my team worked quite good. It was only a fun team. I was doing really well in must of the game, but then his Prophet of Regret done it my Wonder Woman. Luckily I did enough damage to his team to win the game. I found I did not need to use the Mind Control much as I thought I would be using it a the characters on my team had good damage values. On the second round I was up against Adrian. He was use a UNSC team who were:

Marine with Battle Rifle (Halo) 54
Spartan with Dual Magnums (Halo) 80
2x Spartan with Battle Rifle (Halo) 70 x 2 = 140
2x Spartan with Plasma Rifle (Halo) 87 x 2 = 174
Master Chief and Cortana (Halo) 150
=598 points and four re-rolls.

I really am hating the grenade rules. Ignoring other characters for line of sight and hitting multiple characters really makes it broken. OK, it is realistic, but so would a flier being a to see over people but they can not do it in the game. I ended up lost this game due to Master Chief's Outwit, the fact that I can not hit Master Chief and Spartans throwing grenades over their buddies. On the third and final round I was up against Darren. He was use a Apokolips team who were:

Darkseid (Superman) 267 Libra (Superman) 92
Parademon Grunt (Brave and the Bold) 33
The Parademon (Brave and the Bold) 94
Lashina (Arkham Asylum) 72
Parademon (Rookie, Cosmic Justice) 13
Parademon (Experience, Cosmic Justice) 19
=590 points and a four re-rolls.

Fuck, Darkseid is a beast and he shows that the Wonder Woman I was using is crap for her points. In fact I have been finding her to be the weakest character in the team which is bad as she is the highest point figure in the team. Anyway, I ended up losing the game. OK, one win too loses was OK for the team I build.

Next week will 1,200 points game maximum 30 points on feats.

Now for DreamClix. This week I will be doing ideas for Mrs Claus for the Christmas special; Goku from Dragon Ball; and the Ever Living version of Mumm-Ra from 2011 version of Thundercats; and Death Scythe from Soul Eater. But first here are the dial designs for Noah Van Helsing, Razor and the Daywalker generic from the Blade anime; and Santa Claus from the Christmas special.

Next is Mrs Claus for the Christmas special. Mrs. Claus is the wife of Santa Claus, the Christmas gift-bringer in North American Christmas tradition. While Santa Claus himself emerged from the 1820s from a number of traditions of European folklore, Mrs. Claus has no precedent in folklore and is a literary creation by James Rees (1849), popularized by Katharine Lee Bates, appearing in her poem "Goody Santa Claus on a Sleigh Ride" (1889). The character has since appeared in story, film, television and other media. She should have a special Defend that uses her modified defence value than her printed one and Probability Control. She should have about four or five clicks of health and starting values of Movement 6, Attack 8, Defence 17, Damage 2 and Range 0. Her TA should be the Christmas one and her keyword should be Christmas.

Next is a new version of Son Goku from Dragon Ball. This version of Goku is bases on him in the World Martial Arts Tournaments tournament. This will not be a fully detailed idea, just changes to earlier Goku. He should have more clicks with Kamehameha and a new special called "Propeller Tail".
Propeller Tail: Goku can use the fight symbol, if he does half his movement value. 
The next Dragon Ball idea should be Ninja Murasaki and the next Shounen Christmas Special idea should be a Zoro and Sanji due figure from One Piece.

Next is the Ever Living version of Mumm-Ra from 2011 version of Thundercats. This is his standard full power version. He should have Leap Climb, Super Strength, Indomitable, Invulnerability, Toughness, Leadership, Outwit, a trait called "A Force of his Own" and a last click special called "The Light, Arrr!".
A Force of his Own: Mumm-Ra can use Master Mind. If there is no friendly character within six squares of Mumm-Ra, he gains the Power Cosmic team ability. 
The Light, Arrr!: When turning the dial, if this click is revealed due to damage from an opponent's attack stop turning the dial and replace this character with Mumm-Ra (Weakened Corpse Like) on click number X (X is the last click). Existing action tokens on this character are applied to the replacement.
He should have about six or seven clicks of health and starting values of Movement 8, Attack 11, Defence 17, Damage 4 and Range 6 with one target. His TA should be the Mumm-Ra's Horde one and his keywords should be Mumm-Ra's Horde, Ruler and Mystical. The next Thundercats idea should be Mumm-Ra in his crow form.

Lastly there is Death Scythe from Soul Eater. Death Scythe, formerly Spirit is Shinigami-sama's current weapon and Maka's father. His birth name is Spirit Albarn. His daughter Maka shares his surname, it is unknown if his ex-wife Kami took the name. He should have Poison and two specials called "Death Scythe Class Weapon" and "Maka's Father".
Death Scythe Class Weapon: If a character called Lord Death, Franken Stein or Kami is adjacent to Death Scythe, they gain Exploit Weakness and Quake.
Maka's Father: If there is a friendly character with Maka in its name within six squares of Death Scythe, Death Scythe gains Willpower and the friendly character with Maka in its name gains Master Mind but can only use it on Death Scythe.
He should have about six clicks of health and starting values of Movement 8, Attack 9, Defence 17, Damage 2 and Range 0. His TA should be the Soul Eater one and his keywords should be DWMA and Death Scythe. The next Soul Eater idea should be Sid.

Well that is it for this week. Next week will continue the Christmas special. Until next time, have fun.
