HeroClix, the 8th of December: Lanterns, Bats and Soldiers, oh and the Fantastic Four

Welcome to another week of HeroClix. The previews for this week were Doc Samson and Black Tarantula from the Incredible Hulk set. Also a poster for the next HeroClix set after the Incredible Hulk set, Galactic Guardians, and the Lord of the Rings stuff was released this week.

This week's game was a 400 points, Named Themed teams game. For some unknown reason I could not think of a team and ended up with a Green Lantern team were:

Sinestro (Green Lantern) 100
Kilowog (Green Lantern) 100
Abin Sur (Green Lantern) 50
Green Lantern (Blackest Night) 150
=400 points and four re-rolls.

On the first round I was up against Darren. He was use a "Batman" team who were:

The Bat-Man (Superman) 81
Batman (75th) 77
Batman (Arkham Asylum) 64
Batman (Justice League) 75
Batman (Crisis) 90
=387 points and four re-rolls.

Each one of these where a different person as the god damn Batman. The Stealth was a nightmare for Green Lantern, but Sinestro's high defence value was a pain to Darren. He KO'd both Kilowog and Abin Sur scoring him 150 victory points, while I KO'd both Bruce Wayne and Terry McGinnis scoring me 139 points meaning Darren won the game by 11 points. On the second round I was up against Michael. He was use a UNSC team who were:

2x Marine with SMG (Halo) 26 x 2 = 52
Spartan with Battle Rifle (Halo) 70
Spartan with Plasma Rilfe (Halo) 87
Sgt. Johnson (Halo) 89
Master Chief with Plasma Pistol and SMG (Halo) 106
=404 points and four re-rolls.

The grenades were a pain and would have been a nightmare if they had hit I really hate Plasma Grenades as the splash damage hits only characters friendly to the target. His Preplex and outwit was a nightmare as well. He KO'd both Kilowog and Abin Sur again scoring him 150 victory points, while I KO'd both the Marines and Master Chief scoring me 158 points (hang on that is 6 points more than we calculated on the night) meaning I won the game. On the third and final round I was up against Adrian. He was use a Fantastic Four team who were:

Black Panther (Captain America) 128
Storm (Giant Size X-Men) 86
The Thing (Secret Invasion) 100
Human Torch (Clobberin Time) 73
=387 points and a four re-rolls.

Somehow Adrian kept on hitting a 19 defence with his 10 attack, regardless of the number of re-rolls I throw in, ok maybe it is the odds catching up after Darren's game, but it does not help when I could not even roll a 6 or more. He ended up white washing me. Over all one win and two losses sadly.

Next week will the 600 points, four actions, no feats and no Superman from the Superman sent. Now for DreamClix.

This week I will be doing ideas for Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer for the Christmas special; Sexy Jutsu Naruto from Naruto; a Red Ribbon Soldier generic from Dragon Ball; and Bartley Asprius from Code Geass. But first here are the dial designs for Pureblood Noble, Bird Monster and Snake Monster from the Blade anime; an Elf from the Christmas special; and Borma from Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex. As you may have noticed this is a full size DreamClix post as I sadly have the time. Read the rant in the next Neoscream's Life post.

Next is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer for the Christmas special. Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer is a reindeer with a glowing red nose. He is popularly known as "Santa's 9th Reindeer" and, when depicted, is the lead reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve. The luminosity of his nose is so great that it illuminates the team's path through inclement winter weather. He should have a the FlightTransporter symbol, trait called "Shining Bright at Night" and Leadership.
Shining Bright at Night: Characters adjacent to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer ignores hindering terrain, as long as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer can drew line of sight to the hindering terrain.
He should have about five clicks of health and starting values of Movement 14, Attack 9, Defence 17, Damage 2 and Range 0. He should have the Christmas TA and the keywords Animal, Christmas and Mystical. The next Christmas special idea should be Mrs Claus.

As I have changed the name of team ability and the fact I posted it almost a year ago, here is the Christmas team ability to refresh peoples minds: If a character with this TA is Perplex then they can use Perplex strait away even during you opponents turn. However you can only use this once a turn.

Next is the Sexy Jutsu Naruto from Naruto. The Sexy Jutsu (also known as the Sexy Technique) is simply a Transformation Jutsu used to transform the user into a beautiful, nude woman in a very seductive posture with either mists of smoke covering her chest and groin, or in a bathing suit. Naruto uses it to distract or win over men, sometimes leading to an exaggerated nosebleed by the victim, though some men have been able to resist it such as Sasuke Uchiha and Killer B. (S)he should have Incapacitate and three specials called "Sexy Jutsu", "Harem Jutsu" and "Summon (Naruto Shadow Clone)".
Sexy Jutsu: Naruto Uzumaki can use Shape Change, but it succeed on a 4+.
Harem Jutsu: Any Naruto Shadow Clone within four squares to this character gains the "Sexy Jutsu" special and suffers a -1 to their defense value.
Summon (Naruto Shadow Clone): Give Naruto Uzumaki a power action. SUMMON two Naruto Shadow Clone pigs next to Naruto Uzumaki, max of four can be on the field under you control per non pog character with Naruto in the name you control.
(S)he should have about four clicks of health and starting values of Movement 8, Attack 9, Defence 15, Damage 1 and Range 6 with three targets. (S)he should have the Naruto TA and the keywords Team Kakashi and Konohagkure. The next Naruto ideashould be Mitarashi Anko.

Next is a Red Ribbon Soldier generic from Dragon Ball. The Red Ribbon Army, is a paramilitary crime organization in the Dragon Ball manga and anime. They are mentioned in Dragon Ball Z during the Android Saga. Officially led by a diminutive Commander Red the goal of the Red Ribbon Army was to use any means necessary to obtain the Dragon Balls and wish for world takeover; yet Commander Red secretly planned his wish for him to be a taller person. Since he was a very short person, he despised being around those who were taller than him. This should be a split dial of different points values, Grunt and Officer. The grunt should have Energy Explosion, Range Combat Expert and a minion power called "Cannon Fodder". While the Officer should have Running Shot, Leadership, Range Combat Expert and the "Cannon Fodder" minion power.
Cannon Fodder: If a friendly character of a higher point value with the Red Ribbon Army keyword is within 8 squares, that character can use Mastermind, if they can not already, but only to deal damage to characters with the Red Ribbon Army keyword.
The grunt should have about three clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 7, Attack 9, Defence 15, Damage 1 and Range 6 with one target. The officer should have about four or five clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 7, Attack 9, Defence 16, Damage 2 and Range 6 with one target. They should both have the Red Ribbon Army TA and the keywords Red Ribbon Army and Soldier. The next Dragon Ball idea should be the Shounen Christmas special World Martial Arts Tournaments Goku.

Next is the Red Ribbon Army team ability: When a friendly character makes a range combat attack and is adjacent to one or more friendly characters using the Red Ribbon Army team ability, each opposing character targeted by the attacker modifies its defense value by -1 for each friendly character using the Red Ribbon Army team ability adjacent to the attack and with clear line of fire to the target.

Lastly is Bartley Asprius from Code Geass. Bartley Asprius is a large and balding Britannian general who commands the Code R research team. After the assassination of Clovis, he is stripped of his rank by Jeremiah and sent back to Britannia as a prisoner. He subsequently returns to the military under the command of Prince Schneizel. He oversees Jeremiah Gottwald's transformation into a cyborg and tries in vain to stop Jeremiah when he wakes up prematurely. After V.V. recruits Jeremiah, Bartley is ordered by the Emperor to help finish Jeremiah's modifications, which he does not seem happy about. After completing his task, he expresses the desire to leave, knowing that the Emperor's plans could mean the end of the world. During the Black Knights assault on the Geass Directorate stronghold, Bartley is killed in the attack. Before his demise he sees C.C. and laments to the deceased Prince Clovis that they should never have captured her. He should have Leadership and a special called "Code R Research Team".
Code R Research Team: Any friendly characters with the Scientist keyword within four squares of Bartley Asprius, gain a +1 to their Defense value. 
He should have about four clicks of health and starting values of Movement 6, Attack 8, Defence 16, Damage 1 and Range 4 with one target. He should have the BritanniaTA and the keywords Britannia, Soldier and the Order. The next Code Geass idea should be Burai Knightmare frame.

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