MK HeroClix, 17th of May, 600 posts

Welcome to another MK HeroClix post and the 600th blog post. First off is the HeroClix news for the week. This week there were previews of Harvey Dent and Two-Face from DC The Dark Knight Rises and Martian Manhunter. Also there is a new iDevice app called HeroClix TabApp is going to be released in October. For more information go to www.heroclixtabapp.com.

This weeks game was 500 points about 75% of your force has to be of figures you have not used in the club. My team is already planned and if I did not already used one of the figures last week, it would have been 100% never used before. I decided to use my Nova Corps team who were:

Firelord (136 Infinity Challenge) 66
Nova Prime (001 Galactic Guardians) 150
2x Nova Corps Recruit (002 Galactic Guardians) 50 x 2 = 100
Nova Corps Denarian (210 Galactic Guardians) 80
Nova Corps Centurion (015 Galactic Guardians) 100
=496 points and four re-rolls.

On the first round I was up against Darren. He was using an Avengers theme team who were:

Captain America (204 Avengers Movie) 100
Hulk (202 Avengers Movie) 255 + Fortitude (Feat) 25 = 280
Hawkeye (208 Avengers Movie) 65
Tony Stark (209 Avengers Movie) 50
=495 points and four re-roll.

Hulk was a nightmare to deal 19 defence with Impervious and 12 Attack. Hulk smashed my team to pieces. On the second round I was up against Michael. He was using a Martial Artist theme team who were:

Daredevil (032 Hammer of Thor) 81
Howard the Duck (035 Secret Invasion) 35
Gamora (054 Secret Invasion) 73
Power Man and Iron Fist (136 Secret Invasion) 136
Black Panther (106 Universe) 27
Mandarin (057 Universe) 141
=493 points and two re-rolls.

Ok odd, I sure we have seen all these guys before. Maybe Adrian usethem and not Michael before. Anyway it was a long and tough battle. I was winning for most of the game. but if the game went on any longer, thing might have change. Darren was sure Michael had used all these figures before so I checked my blog as I was writing this up. He used Daredevil on the 11th of August, Howard the Duck on the 27th of October, both Gamora and "Power Man and Iron Fist" on the 22nd of December, Black Panther on the 5th of April Black Panther and Mandarin on the 18th of August. Ok the version of Daredevil he used was not the version he wanted to use but still that is not 75% never used before. On the third and final round I was up against Adrian. He was using a Covenant themed team who were:

2 x Jackal with Beam Rifle (008 Halo) 50 x 2 = 100
Grind with Fuel Rod Cannon (015 Halo) 40
2 x Brute with Spiker (032 Halo) 76 x 2 = 144
Brute Honour Guard (29 Hale) 91
=491 points and four re-rolls.

The Stealth, Psychic Blast and double Perplex was a nightmare. I lost more points than Adrian when time was call so I lost that game. At the end of the game Darren suggested something I should have done. For a range based team the Nova Corps suffers a bit for a range of 6. Ok most of them have Running Shot, but they seemed to always get out Ranged. A Range value of seven like Nova Prime or the S.H.I.E.L.D. team abilitywould have been much better on them. Also the lack of supporting powers like Perplex, Outwit and Probability Control at the start of deals does not help ever.

Next week should be a strait forward 400 points game.

Now for this week's DreamClix section. This week I am doing ideas for a Support card for Lloyd Asplund Cécile Croomy from Code Geass, a Pilot card for Kai Shiden from Mobile Suit Gundam UC, an AD Police K Suit from Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040, Don Krieg from One Piece and Hyniks to celebrate 600 posts. But first I have designs of Daisuke Ido from Battle Angel Alita, Koganehiko and Shiroganehiko from Bleach, a Lab Technician generic from Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex, a Pilot Card of Amuro Ray from Mobile Suit Gundam UC and a Cosplay Card of me to celebrate 600 posts.

Next is a Support card for Lloyd Asplund Cécile Croomy from Code Geass. Lloyd Asplund is an earl of the Britannian nobility and the head of the scientific research team Camelot, which is responsible for the development of the elite Knightmare Frame Lancelot. To keep from being reminded of the fragility of human lives and friendship, Lloyd immerses himself in science and comes to view people as nothing more than tools. He has a tendency to mock others and is often rebuked for this behavior by Cécile Croomy, his assistant. Prior to joining the military, he attended the Imperial Colchester Institute. Lloyd's research organization, Camelot, is an irregular division of the Britannian Military that has permission from Prince Schneizel to operate outside the command structure and regulations of the regular Britannian armed forces. Rakshata refers to Lloyd as the Earl of Pudding, as pudding is his favorite food. He is engaged to Milly Ashford in the first season, having agreed to the union mostly in the hope that he might obtain the designs of the Knightmare Frame Ganymede. Milly breaks off the engagement after she graduates in order to become more true to herself. He willingly joins Lelouch's new regime. He works with Nina and Cécile to create a countermeasure to F.L.E.I.J.A. and assists Sayoko during the rescue of the hostages on board the Avalon (as ordered by Lelouch). Cécile Croomy is Lloyd's subordinate in Camelot and one of the Lancelot's developers. She is a capable scientist in her own right, having designed the energy wing system used on the Guren Seiten and the Lancelot Albion. Cécile is a kind-hearted woman and a good friend to Suzaku, often helping him with homework. She also acts as Lloyd's conscience, not hesitating to scold him or physically punish him for his unintentionally rude remarks or treating Suzaku as a "part". Cécile is a capable Knightmare Frame pilot. Prior to joining Lloyd in the military, she studied at the Imperial Colchester Institute. Following Lelouch's ascension to the throne, she willingly accepts Lelouch as the new emperor. C.C. deduces that Cécile's reason for doing so was because she had fallen in love with Suzaku, Lelouch's knight. A recurring joke is that Cécile is a bad cook, though no one tells her. Their keyword should be Britannia, they should give a bonus theme team re-roll and their special should be: Friendly Characters with no action tokens gains a +1 to their Speed value. Once per game a friendly character with Lancelot in its name can use Regeneration. The next Code Geass idea should be a Civilian Knightmare Frame.

Next is a Pilot card for Kai Shiden from Mobile Suit Gundam UC. At the onset of the One Year War in UC 0079, Kai Shiden lived in the space colony Green Oasis in Bunch 1 of Side 7. Kai Shiden is tall and lanky in stature with a mop of gray hair, and his snarky and sarcastic personality often gets him scolded or slapped around. After surviving the Zeon attack on Side 7, Kai evacuated to the Pegasus class assault carrier SCV-70 White Base to make his escape. However, due to a shortage of crew and soldiers to staff the battleship Kai was asked to become a pilot to help defend the White Base from the frequent Zeon attacks. Kai was assigned to pilot the RX-77-2 Guncannon mobile suit, the unit he would remain in charge for the rest of the One Year War. A natural coward, cynic, and pessimist Kai could often be found hiding on the sidelines making smart-alecky comments. His fighting style leaned towards bombarding foes with the Guncannon's long-range armaments, but when he got in a fix he had shown that he was able to pull off hand-to-hand attacks with the Guncannon. However, Kai quickly became disenchanted with war and he decided to desert the White Base when it was docked for repairs in Belfast, Ireland. Outside of Belfast, Kai met a young girl named Miharu Ratokie, and agreed to sneak her onto the White Base and took her to the Earth Federation headquarters in Jaburo, located along the Amazon River in South America. But unbeknownst to Kai, Miharu was actually a hired Zeon spy sent to infiltrate the White Base and discover Jaburo's location. His requirement should be that he should have ever the Earth Federation Forces or the Karaba keyword. He should not have a standard special ability and his Mecha Special which activate if he is piloting a RX-77 Guncannon. His team ability should be the Earth Federation one. The next Gundam UC idea should be a MS-05 Zaku.

Next is an AD Police K Suit from Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040. K suits are special type of power armour used by the AD Police. They are cutting edge technology for the police and military but compared the the Knight Sabers they are rubbish. They should have Running Shot, Energy Explosion, Toughness and Range Combat Expert. They should have about six clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 6, Attack 10, Defence 16, Damage 2 and Range 6 with one target. Their team ability should be the AD Police one and their keywords should be AD Police, Armour and Police. The next Bubblegum Crisis idea should be a Racer Boomer.

Next is Don Krieg from One Piece. Don Krieg was the captain of the Krieg Pirates and an infamous pirate of East Blue. Krieg is a very cruel pirate. He is confident in his own superiority, despite any failures he might experience, and believes wholeheartedly that his armada and arsenal of weapons can overcome any foe. This led to his failed attempt to conquer the Grand Line; believing mere numbers and weapons were enough to get him by, he was utterly defeated when Dracule Mihawk almost completely annihilated his entire fleet. Even in the face of his obvious inferiority, Krieg refused to accept his mistake, instead turning to underhanded methods to get by and believing that there was some sort of trick to overcoming such foes. Krieg believes in winning above all else, and will stoop to any level to achieve it. Examples include flying a white flag of surrender and posing as Marines to get the drop on them. Despite his cruel tendencies, Krieg is pragmatic enough to realize that he needs a crew to support him. He thus makes sure they are fed to regain their full strength after Mihawk's onslaught. However, Don Krieg does not care for his crew and rules over them with fear; any who oppose him are typically punished with death. He is very proud of his rank as captain, and gets very mad when someone disobeys him, or even hesitates to carry out his orders, as he believes it is their duty to obey him unquestionably. He should have Charge, Blades, Energy Explosion, Invulnerability, Toughness, Leadership and Range Combat Expert. He should have about six clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 7, Attack 10, Defence 18, Damage 2 and Range 6 with one target. His team ability should be the the Krieg Pirates one and his keywords should be Krieg Pirates and Pirate. The next One Piece idea should be a Sea King colossal figure.

Next is Hyniks, Lord of Darkness to celebrate 600 posts. Hyniks is a common character from my stories. This version on him in the original idea of him. Hyniks is the oldest son of the Machine god Dalron. Dalron created his children using souls and mind of great leader's of other alien races and control chips to make sure they obbay his orders and never rebel. Hyniks and his bothers and sister became the leaders of Dalron's armies into their battle to eradicate all organic life. Then one day Hyniks control chip malfunctioned and his memories of his past life returned to him. He use to be a kind hearted and honourable king. He was a master strategist and a highly skill swordsman as well. With him memories but and the fact that the control chip no longer works, he rebelled against Dalron for all the evil Dalron made him to do. After gaining the trust of of a group of races called the Alliance, who defend other worlds from Dalron's forces, the Silicon's and against another force called the hive, Hyniks managed to gain with them. Over team he became the leader of the Alliance's elite guard known as the X-Guard. He should have Charge, Leap Climb, Flurry, Blades, Incapacitate, Indomitable, Toughness, Leadership, Perplex, Outwit, a Trait called "Shield of Death" and a special called "Sword of Darkness".
Shield of Death: Hyniks can use Energy Shied Deflection. Each time a character is KO'd, in the game place a Soul Token onto his card.
Sword of Darkness: Give Hyniks a double power actions. He can make a Psychic Blast attack as a free action as if he has a range of 8. His damage value for this attack equals the number of Soul Tokens on his card. After this action, remove half rounded up of the Soul Tokens on Hyniks's card.
He should have about nine clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 10, Attack 13, Defence 18, Damage 3 and Range 2 with one target. He should not have a team ability and his keywords should be Alliance, Robot, Ruler and Silicon. The next specials idea might be Neclaw.
