MK HeroClix: 13th June - Thought The Decades part II

Welcome to the MK HeroClix post. This is a weekly post with HeroClix news and results of Thursday's HeroClix game at MK Wargames Society at York House. This week there were previews of Legolas Greenleaf from the Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring; Commandant and Founder Soldier from Bioshock Infinity; Dracula, two versions of Iron Fist, Attuma and Nerkkod the Breaker of Ocean) from Marvel Fear Itself; and Phoenix Force Cyclops from Marvel Wolverine and the X-Men. Also the new Golden Age Player's Guide has come out with tons of new ATAs for both Marvel and DC and there will be a Pacific Rim HeroClix set coming out next month.

This week is the second week of a three week campaign calling “Thought The Decades”. Pick a character. On the first week was 400 points, no figure over 100 points including add-ons, you must have the chosen character at Rookie level. On the second week is 500 points, no figure over 200 points, you must have the chosen character at Experience level. And finally on the third and final week it will be 600 points, no figure over 300 (I originally miss typed this as 200) points, you must have the chosen character at Veteran level. I went for Iron Man, Darren went for Doctor Strange, Adrian went for Storm and Michael went for War Machine as our chosen characters. Also this week we started using the new 2013 rules. This week my team was:

Iron Man Mk 17 "Heartbreaker" (009 Marvel Iron Man 3) 166 + Secret Avengers (ATA) 5 = 171

Hawkeye (039 Marvel Chaos War) 98 + Secret Avengers (ATA) 5 = 103

War Machine (200 Marvel Hammer of Thor) 137 + Secret Avengers (ATA) 5 = 142

Spider-Girl (041 Marvel Secret Invasion) 77 + Secret Avengers (ATA) 5 = 82

=498 points and four re-rolls.

This was based on the old Iron Man cartoon with Spider-Girl filling in for Spider-Woman aka Julia Carpenter aka Arachne, as Arachne does not have the standard Avengers keyword. On the first round I was up against Michael. He was using an armoured theme team who were:

War Machine (068 Marvel Armour Wars) 109

Dr. Doom (205 Marvel Galactic Guardians) 139

55 GG006 Doombot (006 Marvel Galactic Guardians) 55

2 x Guardsman (005 Marvel Avengers) 32 x 2 = 64

Spider-Man (217 Marvel Sinister) 98

=465 points and two re-rolls

I won this game only losing Spider-Girl. I have a feeling that Michael used the wrong Doom. Also Darren won his game ageist Adrian. On the second round I was up against Darren. He was using a Defenders team who were:

Namor (009 Marvel Galactic Guardians) 120

Hulk (027 Marvel Galactic Guardians) 124

Dr. Strange (059 Marvel Fantastic Forces) 96

Gargoyle (004 Marvel Avengers) 58

Hellcat (039 Marvel Ultimates) 38

Brunnhilde (204 Marvel Sinister) 69

=505 points and four re-rolls.

During this game my dice were great and Darren’s were terrible. I ended up winning this game. Also Adrian won his game ageist his Brother. On the third and final round I was up against Adrian. He was using an X-Men team who were:

Storm (065 Marvel Universe) 40

Magneto (015 Marvel HeroClix 10^th Anniversary) 113

Rogue (005 Marvel Giant Size X-Men Fast Forces) 75

Colossus / Wolverine (056 Marvel Giant Size X-Men) 190

Shadowcat (039 Marvel Sinister) 66

=484 points and for re-rolls.

I ended up winning this game only losing Hawkeye. WOW I won three out of three games this week. Gaming is steeling all my luck this week.

Next week should be the third and final week of “Thought The Decades”. Until next time, Armour Up.
