HeroClix, the 1st of December, U CAN'T C HYDER

(Pictures, Dials and Character Information coming soon) Welcome to another week of HeroClix. The previews for this week were gravity force She-Hulk, A.I.Marine, A.I.Marine Hulk and Shanna from the Incredible Hulk set. Also all the dials for the fast forces Hulk set are up in the Units section on HCRealms.

This week's game was a Hail Hydra event. Bring two 300 points teams, one S.H.I.E.L.D. and one Hydra. Each team must have at least 150 points of each team must have the teams keyword and/or TA. Captain America from Hammer of Thor is BANNED from this event. My S.H.I.E.L.D. was easy to make. I decided not to go for Nick Fury or Winter Soldier as I almost always use them in a S.H.I.E.L.D. team. The team was:

Steve Rogers (Captain America) 99
Maria Hill (Captain America) 72
Black Widow (Captain America) 85
S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent (Captain America) 37
SHIELD Agent (Rookie, Infinity Challenge) 10
=303 points and two re-rolls.

The Hydra team was a nightmare to make. I do not have much figures from the Captain America set, I was not happy with the figures I have. Sadly 13th Floor and Adventures Gate did not have the figures I wanted and eBay sellers would take too long to get them to me. I mainly wanted the gravity force version of Sin to build a Skeleton Crew based team. Then team I ended up using was:

Red Skull (Captain America) 100
Hydra Officer (Captain America) 30
Silver Samurai (Universe) 40
Fixed (Rookie Sinister) 52
3x Hydra Technician (Sinister) 19 x 3 = 47
Hydra Officer (Sinister) 24
=303 points and two re-rolls.

On the first round I was up against Michael. He won team the Team roll and he chose his S.H.I.E.L.D. team who were:

Nick Fury (Captain America) 60
Steve Rogers (Captain America) 99
Sam Wilson (Sinister) 53
S.H.I.E.L.D. Specialist (Captain America) 37
SHIELD Sniper (Sinister) 22
SHIELD Agent (Sinister) 29
=300 points and two re-rolls.

This was a lone game and it came to time, but I manage to win it. Wow, my Hydra team won, I forgot how good the TA can be. It helped the Hydra grunts rapid fire Steve Rogers off a build, sadly he did not die, I mean KO'd.  On the second round I was up against Darren. As he used is S.H.I.E.L.D. we just played are other teams. His Hydra team was:

2x Hydra Agent (Captain America) 25 x 2 = 50
Viper (Captain America) 91
Baron Strucker (Captain America) 150
Hydra Operative (Experience, Infinity Challenge) 11
=302 points and two re-rolls.

His team rip my team apart. The heavy stealth and Baron Strucker's trait was a nightmare. On the third and final round I was up against Adrian. He won team the Team roll and he chose his S.H.I.E.L.D. team who were:


S.H.I.E.L.D. Specialist (Captain America) 37
SHIELD Agent (Captain America) 37
Maria Hill (Captain America) 72
3x SHIELD Agent (Sinister) 29 x 3 = 87
Spider-Woman (Armour Wars) 67
=300 points and two re-rolls.

Again this was a long game and it could go ever way for most of the game, but Hydra pulled it of again and won. There was a very funny moment when Spider-Woman tried shooting Red Skull and Red Skull had to steal a famous American hero quote, "You Can't See Me", as he was standing on an object while he has Stealth.

Next week will be a 400 points, Named Themed teams.

Now for DreamClix. This week I will be doing ideas for a Reindeer for the Christmas special; Hollow Ichigo from Bleach; a Criminal generic for both Death Note and Ghost in the Shell; and Patty and Carne duo from One Piece. But first here are the dial designs for Vampire Sciences, Makoto and a Suikou vampire from the Blade anime; and a Christmas themed Punisher.

Next is a Reindeer generic for the Christmas special. Santa Claus's reindeer are a team of flying reindeer traditionally held to pull the sleigh of Santa Claus and help him deliver Christmas gifts. The commonly cited names of the reindeer are Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Dinner (or Donder) and Blitzen. They should have a minion power called "Santa's Sleigh", about four clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 12, Attack 8, Defense 16, Damage 2 and Range 0.
Santa's Sleigh: Minions - Reindeer can use the carry ability. If Reindeer is within eight squares of Santa Claus, they gain the Flight Transport symbol.
They should have the Christmas TA and the keywords Animal and Christmas. The next Christmas special idea should be Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

Next is Hollow Ichigo from Bleach. Hollow Ichigo, more properly called The Hollow within Ichigo's conscience or White Ichigo, is a powerful entity that was created when Ichigo Kurosaki, a Shinigami, developed a Hollow inside his soul (during his near Hollowfication as a Plus), a commonality among the Visored. Born from a Hollowfication process, Hollow Ichigo represents the dark side of Ichigo's soul. He has stated himself to represent Ichigo's purest instincts. As he resides within Ichigo's soul, he has become a manifestation of Ichigo's very spiritual power, meaning Ichigo's Shinigami powers also draw strength from him. He should have Charge, Blades, Toughness, Super Sense and a special called "Skilled Combatant".
Skilled Combatant: If Hollow Ichigo makes a Range attack, he gains Combat Reflexes and Close Combat Expert until the end of your next round.
He should have six clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 10, Attack 11, Defend 17, Damage 3 and Range 4. He should not have a TA and the keywords Hollow and Mystical. The next Bleach idea should be Hog Rider and the next Shounen Christmas special should be Sexy Jutsu Naruto.

Next is a Criminal generic for both Death Note and Ghost in the Shell. They should basically be like Henchman from Arkham Asylum set, but with no keywords and the Wild Card TA instead of the Batman Enemy TA.

Last is a Patty and Carne duo from One Piece. Patty and Carne are two of the cooks of the Baratie. Patty does not always see eye to eye with Sanji. He has a very business-minded attitude towards customers: those who pay get good and friendly service; those that do not get the boot. However, he tends to unknowingly insult his customers when he greets them. His kinder side shows when he tries to save Gin after having breathed in poison gas. Like most of the Baratie's cooking staff, Carne prides himself on being a fighting chef. When the restaurant comes under attack by the Krieg armada, he and the other chefs take up arms to defend it. He fights with a large extended knife. They should have the duo symbol, a special called "Meatballs of Doom", Toughness and Support.
Meatballs of Doom: Patty and Carne can use Range Combat Expert as if they have a Range value of 6.
They should have about four clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 6, Attack 9, Defense 16, Damage 2 and Range 0. They should have the Pirate Chiefs TA and the keywords Pirate Chiefs and Pirate. The next One Piece idea should be the Christmas special, a Zoro and Sanji duo. It will not be Luffy due to the fact that Luffy has not changed enough in one the stuff I am covering yet.


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