MK HeroClix 14th of June, Master Chief is the new Jean Grey

Part of the new Improved rules

Welcome to another MK HeroClix post. First off is the HeroClix news for the week. (Now back to being written on my tablet). This week there were previews of Catwoman from DC The Dark Knight Rises; Ares from Marvel Chaos Wars; Captain America from Marvel Chaos Wars gravity feed; and another convention exclusive prize support (duo) figure 'Superman and Superman'. Also there was some news on the 2012 rulebook. There will not be any (or many) major changes to the rules, but there will be a load of new stuff and the rules for Epic Actions, Horde tokens and Grenades will be in the book too. Oh and Assassin's Creed HeroClix have been announced. It will be out in August this year. There will be twelve figures in the set. Six from Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and six from Assassin's Creed: Revelation. Conformed characters are Ezio and Cesare Borgia.

This week's game was a 500 points, 3 actions, no figure over 100 points. I have an idea what I might run, but I need to remember it. I went for the team I was planning to use, S.H.I.E.L.D..

2x Mandroid Armour (007 Clobberin Time) 28 x 2 = 56
Domino (030 Mutant Mayhem) 52
S.H.I.E.L.D. Sniper (005 Sinister) 22
S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent (005 Captain America) 37
Falcon (030 Captain America) 79
Captain America (205 Captain America) 50
Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. (003b Avengers Movies) 19
Maria Hill (011 Avengers Movies) 51
Howard Stark (021 Avengers Movies) 33
Nick Fury (035 Avengers Movies) 70
S.H.I.E.L.D. Enforcer (037 Avengers Movie) 25
=494 points and four re-rolls.

It was just me, Darren, Michael and Adrian this week. On the first round I was up against Darren. He was using a New Warriors theme team who were:

Nova (201 Galactic Guardians) 100
Firestar (020 Web of Spider-Man) 81
Speedball (038 Secret Invasion) 77
Namorita (046 Avengers) 98
Night Thrasher (015 Supernova) 73
Justice (029 Supernova) 72
=501 points and four re-roll.

In the past Darren had very bad luck with New Warriors and sadly for him this time round they still fale to win for him. He was doing well it begin with, but his dice abandoned him and he could not hit. This lead to a win for my team. In the other game Michael defeated his brother. On the second round I was up against Michael. He was using an UNSC theme team who were:

Spartan with Dual Needlers (012 Halo) 82
3x Spartan with Plasma Rifle (19 Halo) 87 x 3 = 261
Sgt. Johnson (027 Halo) 89
Master Chief with Shotgun (034 Halo) 61
=493 points and four re-roll.

This game was pushing to and from. The triple perplex and Grenades were a nightmare, but I manage to win my game. In the other game Adrian won ageist Darren. By the look of it Darren might have quite due to bad dice roll. On the third and final round I was up against Adrian. He was using another UNSC themed team who were:

2x Spartan with Dual Needlers (012 Halo) 82 x 2 = 164
3x Spartan with Plasma Rifle (19 Halo) 87 x 3 = 261
Master Chief with Fist of Rust (038 Halo) 75
=500 points and four re-rolls.

This time the triple perplex was a killer and I ended up losing this game. In the other game Michael won ageist Darren. By the look of it Darren might have quite due to bad dice roll again. Duo to points victory points I got third place, while the brothers were first and second place, which way I do not remember.

Next week should be Revenge of the Fallen. (I was not the one who named it.) 300 point, no figure over 75 points. The first figure you loss comes back on its starting click at the start of your next turn in the same square it was KO'd. Victory points are not awarded until the figure has been KO'd a second time.
Now for this week's DreamClix section. This week I am doing ideas for a May Kanker from Ed, Edd n Eddy, a map for Dragon Ball, a map for One Piece, a Lizard Scout/Elite from Thundercats and a Racer Boomer fro Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040. But first I have designs of Black Star from Soul Eater, a Sea King from One Piece, Jidanbo Ikkanzaka from Bleach, and a Type-61 Tank from the Mobile Suit Gundam UC.

Next is May Kanker from Ed, Edd n Eddy. May Kanker is the youngest of the three Kanker Sisters. She is in love with Ed, and much like his friends he is afraid of her and the other Kankers. She has blonde hair and buck teeth, and is usually seen wearing a gray T-shirt and red shorts. When she sleeps at night, she wears a pale blue one-piece footed sleeper. Unlike the other characters, her nose is shaped like a pig's nose. In the episode "Dawn of the Eds," it is hinted that her hair might be a wig. This, however, was most likely a gag as in other episodes prove that May's hair is well attached to her head. She also does not know the number to dial for 9-1-1 to call the cops in the episode "Run for your Ed." She is the most naïve Kanker and is the most prone to clumsy accidents and/or scrapes like Ed. She should have Stealth and two specials called "Sisters" and "In Love With Ed".
Sisters: All adjacent friendly characters to May Kanker with the Kanker Sisters' keyword gains a +1 to their Damage values.
In Love With Ed: May Kanker gains Charge if there is a character called Ed within six squares of her and is in line of sight.
She should have about three of four clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 9, Attack 9, Defence 16, Damage 2 and Range 2 with one target. She should not have any team abilities and her keyword should be Kanker Sisters'. The next other section idea should be Yuiko Hawatari from Loveless.

Next is a map for Dragon Ball. I decided to do the arena for the World's Martial Arts Tournament. The Map would be a indoor/outdoor map. The starting zones would in locker rooms that are the only indoor terrain on this map. The arena it self would be a large piece of clear elevated terrain. Around the outside of the arena should be spots of hindering terrain and blocking terrain. The next Dragon Ball idea should be King Vegeta, Vegeta's father.

Next is a map for One Piece. At first when I sat down and thought of what scene and place  to do, I first though of doing the deck of the Going Merry. But I then remembered an idea I had awhile ago. The sloped from the battle between the Straw Hats and the Black Cats. The slope should be going up several elevations. There should be a forest at the top of the slope and a beach and a bit of sea at the bottom. Also rocks at random places. The next One Piece idea should be Bell-mère.

Next is a Lizard Scout/Elite from Thundercats. This figure should be a split dial generic, one half Scout and the other half an Elite warrior. The Scout should have Stealth, Energy Shield Deflection, Lead Climb and (new 2012 rules) Improved Sight ignore hindering. It should have about five clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 10, Attack 9, Defence 17, Damage 2 and Range 6 with one target. The Elite Warrior should have Close Combat Expert, Toughness, Charge and Range Combat Expert. It should have about five clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 8, Attack 10, Defence 17, Damage 3 and Range 6 with one target. Both should have the Minions of Mumm-Ra team ability and the keywords Animal and Mumm-Ra's Horde. The next Thundercats idea should be King Claudus.

Next is the Racer Boomer from episode 8 of Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040. This Boomer was hard to stop due to its fast speed. The Knight Sabers needed to introduce a new weapon to their arsenal, the Motorslave. It should have Hypersonic, Imperious, Toughness, Energy Shield Defection, Regeneration and a special called "Can't Get Close To It!".
Can't Get Close to It!: Racer Boomer can use Poison. All damage from Poison is penetrating and does knock back.
It should have about six clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 14, Attack 10, Defence 18, Damage 2 and Range 6 with two targets. It should not have a team ability and its keywords should be Robot and Vehicle. Next Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 idea should be Motorslave.

Lastly is the DreamClix Dial Designs page update news. On Monday (it should have be Sunday but I forgot) I did the last of the Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex with two new dials that are shown below. There should be at least an update on Sunday which will be adding the Easter Holidays stuff to the page.

Well that is it for this week. Until next time, Mecha Up.
