MK HeroClix, the 21st of June, Revenge of the Fallen

Welcome to another MK HeroClix post. First off is the HeroClix news for the week. This week there were previews of Donald Blake, Thor, Kang, Baron Zemo and Mr. Sinister from Marvel Chaos Wars; Vision and Ultron from Marvel Chaos Wars gravity feed; and Cyborg from DC Justice League 52. Got to get hold of both Ultron and Cyborg.

This week's game was 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. The team I wanted to put together was a Sinister Syndicate team who were:

Dr. Octopus (034 Marvel Secret Invasion) 69
Mysterio (056 Marvel Web of Spider-Man) 75
Shocker (030 Marvel Fantastic Force) 68
Vulture (041 Marvel Fantastic Force) 41
Hobgoblin (004 Marvel Universe) 39
=292 points and two re-rolls.

This week Roxy was at HeroClix and there was on Adrian as he took too long putting his team together at the last moment. On the first round I was up against Darren. He was using an Avengers theme team who were:

Nick Fury (203 Marvel Avengers Movies) 70
Hawkeye (208 Marvel Avengers Movies) 65
She-Hulk (003 Marvel Incredible Hulk Fast Forces) 75
Scarlet Witch (057 Marvel Avengers) 35
Mockingbird (018 Marvel Sinister) 34
Wasp (003 Universe) 19
=298 points and two re-roll.

The combo of Hawkeye and Nick Fury, with a well placed Scarlet Bitch Witch was a deadly combo. This lead to massive white wash as my team got trashed. Michael won his game against Roxy. On the second round I was up against Roxy.  He was using a Martial Artist theme team who were:

Daredevil (021 Marvel Incredible Hulk) 75
Psylocke (023 Marvel Giant Size X-Men) 74
Iron Fist (004 Marvel Secret Invasion) 70
Wolverine (092 Marvel Fantastic Forces) 71
Hand Ninja (011 Marvel Universe) 13
=303 points and one re-roll.

This team my team trashed Roxy's team. I manage to keep my team all together, use the shared ten attack. Darren won his game against Michael. On the third and final round I was up against Michael. He was using a Gotham City themed team who were:

Robin (034 DC Arkham Asylum) 66
The Question (004 DC Arkham Asylum) 37
Batgirl (014 DC Crisis) 70
Oracle (025 DC Batman Alpha) 50
Batman (001 DC Justice League) 75
=297 points and two re-rolls.

I manage to weaken Batman early in the game, but struggled with the triple Perplex and double Outwit. I ended up losing this game. I thinking Darren won his game against Roxy.

Next week should be Dark of the Moon, keeping to the Transformers theme. 600 point, four actions, at least one character has to have a cosmic link (even if it is just in the name) and no ATA's.

Now for this week's DreamClix section. This week I am doing ideas for a Pilot card for Shinichirõ Tamaki from Code Geass, Light as the New L from Death Note, King Vegeta from Dragon Ball and a Support card for Captain Grodek Airoa from Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. But first I have designs of Tsubaki from Soul Eater, Kurenai Yuhi from Naruto, RGE-B790 Genoace from Mobile Suit Gundam AGE, and a Pilot card for Suzaku Kururugi from Code Geass.

Next is a Pilot card for Shinichirõ Tamaki from Code Geass. Shinichirō Tamaki was a member of the Japanese Resistance and is one a core member of the Black Knights. He was the leader of the second special squadron of the Black Knights during the first season, but after the restructuring, he became the internal cleaning supporter. He is a hot-headed and carefree person, quick to cheer others on when not doing the fighting but rash and impulsive when he's on the front lines. His rashness is shown to border on recklessness, as he orders the execution of the Ashford Academy student council against Zero's wishes, though extenuating circumstances prevent his orders from being carried out. He is somewhat racist in his own right, but has been shown to even threaten other Japanese, such as when a group of them blame his group for the destruction of Shinjuku. He pilots a standard Knightmare Frame during battles, though he rarely lasts long before being forced to eject. He is initially skeptical about Zero, but comes to be one of his most vehement supporters, particularly after the Special Administrative Zone for an independent Japan fails. Even after being captured and imprisoned for a year following the failed Black Rebellion, he never gives up hope that Zero will rescue them, despite the fact that Zero was reported as dead. Tamaki seems to be the most critical of C.C.'s involvement in the organization despite her lack an official position, complaining that she's only there because she's Zero's lover, which she replies to by insulting him. In the second season, this appears to have been lightened into simple back and forth banter. Tamaki also complains about his own lack of an official position in the second season (what happened to his old position is not revealed), wanting to be in charge of finances in some way (Lelouch relieved him of this responsibility early in the first season when he spent much of their money on frivolous dinners). C.C. jokes that he's in charge of banquets to annoy him. With the formation of the United Federation of Nations and the Black Knights' appointment as its unified army, Tamaki is made the Internal Cleaning Supporter. When Lelouch is exposed as Zero, Tamaki takes it the hardest, being the last to accept that Zero could have manipulated them all this time. Despite this, he seemingly accepts it fully, threatening to kill Kallen when she is not quick enough to abandon Zero, and yet he claims to have always trusted him when Lelouch repeals the Numbers System. His requirement should be the Black Knights keyword and he should gain the Black Knights team ability. His special ability should be: "Give this character a power action. Remove an action token from up to two adjacent friendly characters with the Black Knights or Japan keyword. These characters cannot be given any actions for the rest of the turn, including free ones." He should not have a Mecha ability. The next Code Geass idea should be the knightmare frames Burai.

Next is Light as the "New L" from Death Note. After Light finally defeated and killed off L, Light became the new L and after his studies he became a police detective  and head of the Kira Investigation Team. This version of Light should have a special called "Outsmarted the World's Greatest Detective", Mind Control, Psychic Blast and Stealth.
Outsmarted the World's Greatest Detective: Light can use Probability Control, Outwit and Perplex.
He should have about six clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 7, Attack 10, Defence 17, Damage 0 and Range 10 with two targets. He should have the Police and Mystics team abilities and his keywords should be Detective, Kira Investigation Team, Mystical and Police. The next Death Note idea should be Mello.

Next is the chase figure of King Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z. King Vegeta was the king of all Saiyans and the father of Vegeta and Tarble. He was also the commanding hero of the Saiyan Army, and led his people to victory in the Saiyan-Tuffle war, in which the planet was renamed in his honor. After his people were annexed by Frieza's planet trade organization, he had no choice but to pledge allegiance, but kept power over his people. He should have the flight symbol, Charge, Super Strength, Invulnerability, Toughness, Combat Reflexes, Indomitable, Leadership, Perplex and Close Combat Expect. He should have about eight clicks of health and starting combat values of Speed 9, Attack 11, Defence 17, Damage 3 and Range 5 with one target. He should not have a team ability and his keywords should be Past, Planet Trade Organisation, Ruler, Saiyan and Warrior. The next Dragon Ball idea should be a redo of Oolong.

Next is a Support card for Captain Grodek Ainoa from Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. Before the UE destroyed Angel, Grodek Ainoa was just a simple white-collar business man with a wife and daughter. He was away on business when the UE destroyed Angel and killed his family. Afterwards he joined the military. In AG 115 Grodek is the deputy commander of Aliston Base in the Nora Colony where the Gundam was developed. When the UE attacked Nora Grodek carried out Hendrick Bruzar's orders to evacuate the colony by using the Diva to pull out the colony core. However in order to do so Grodek had to stun and tie up the Diva's captain, Dian Fonroid, and its command staff who wanted to take the Diva and run. Grodek erased the men from the ship's crew roster and put himself in as captain. To cover what he did he said that the promotion came from headquarters. He then proceeded to follow Bruzar's orders and with protection from the Gundam managed to evacuate the entire population of Nora. His theme team keyword should be the Earth Federation Force.  He should not add any extra Theme team re-rolls and his special should be: At the beginning on a game choose one friendly character. When that character targets a character with the Vagan keyword with an attack, they gain +1 to their attack value for the action. If the chosen character is called Flit Asuno, you gain an extra theme team re-roll. The next Mobile Suit Gundam AGE idea should be CMS-223Z Zila.

Lastly is the DreamClix Dial Designs page update news. On Sunday I added a new Easter section on the DreamClix Dial Designs page with two new designs (the whole section) and on Thursday I add image versions of the IS team ability and the IS: Infinite Stratos feat. There should be at least an update on Sunday which will be the first of two Marvel Anime updates. I will not be updating the dial design (just like IS: Infinite Stratos) as this is a completed set.

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