Weekly HeroClix teams (blog)

Hopefully I'll keep this updated, on weeks that I play HeroClix.

For 4/27/06: WIN (400 pts. 3 player)
Adam Strange LE
Batman (Icons set)
Moloid
Shaman
Silver Swan LE
Len Snart (LE Captain Cold)
Iris West-Allen (3 pt. pog)

Used "Isolation" condition card...but forgot to enforce it. Also threw in the laser canon object. Moloid works great with that. He has stealth and can't be seen when sitting on it, plus he gets off a free shot every turn. I like me some Moloids.

For 5/04/06: Game 1- WIN (400 pts. 2 player)
Len Snart (LE Captain Cold)
Scarlet Witch
Shadow Lass
Jessica Drew (LE Spider-Woman)
Geo-Force
Deadshot
Moloid

Played "Force Field" feat card on Len Snart and "Shellhead" feat card on Geo-Force

Used the Laser Cannon (again) and the "Radiation Leak" condition card. Beat a JSA team, thoroughly.

5/04/06: Game 2- LOSS (300 pts. 3 player)
Hercules
Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze version)
Iceman
Black Widow
Archangel

+Franklin Richards 2 pt POG

Yup--the Champions! They do alot better than you think they would.

Used Radiation Leak again

For 05/11/06: Game 1- LOSS (400 pts, 4 player)
Cyclops (Ultimate version)
Collossus (Ultimate version)
Sunfire
Banshee
Wolverine (Free Comic Book Day Version)
Nightcrawler
Thunderbird
Moira MacTaggart POG

Another themed team- the All-New, All-Different X-men. They got obliterated.

One of the guys I play with told me about the British show "Red Dwarf"...apparently some character on there wrote a book about how he played the boardgame RISK. He'd detail what he rolled, where he moved, etc. Damn.... I'm a loser.

For 05/25/06: Game 1- LOSS (400 pts, 4 player)

Scarlet Witch
Arnim Zola
Black Knight
Black Manta
Jessica Drew (LE Spider-Woman)
Shaman
Asp

Fairly crappy team. I just pieced them together with no real strategy or gimmicks. I hadn't used Arnim Zola, Black Night or Black Manta before, and just wanted to see if they had any use. Zola was decent, but I probably wont use the other two often.

For 6/8/06 Game 1- Time limit forfeit (4 player -400 pts)

Adam Strange
Owlman
Ice
Robin (Teen Titans version)
Angelica Jones (Firestar LE)
Manhunter
Renee Montoya 5 pt. POG

Owlman had "Shellhead". Used the "Rally" card.

Never noticed that Adam Strange eventually ends up with a ZERO damage. Lame.

About half of our little group appears to be moving away soon, so the "ES HeroClix Era" might end in the fall. We've been playing on a weekly/bi-weekly basis for over a year now. Alot of guys seem to be playing the card games more often, too... I really, really hate the card games.

For 6/22/06 Game 1- WIN (400 pts, 3 player)

Lex Luthor (big bad 212 pts version with the power armor)
Hawkeye (with his flying go-cart)
Ragman
Monseiur Mallah
Franklin Richards POG

Lex was the sole survivor. Wore everyone else out with my four flunkies, then Lex walked in to clean up. He was never hit. That's so frickin' EVIL! To annoy people, I did the old "Challenge of the SuperFriends" Lex voice. Everytime someone missed me, I'd cackle "haha! You Fools!!"

For 6/29/06- GAME 1 (400pt. 4 player)

Colossus (New Danger Room verion)
Cyclops (New Danger Room verion)
Jean Grey( New Danger Room verion)
Angel (New Danger Room verion)
Beast (New Danger Room verion)
Wolverine (New Sinister unique in the brown costume)
Ka-Zar (New Sinister unique)

For 7/13/06- GAME 1 (400pt. 4 player- LOSS)

Nighthawk
Jewel
Tornado Tyrant (Red Tornado LE)
Kyle Rayner (Green Lantern LE)
Mockingbird
Colossus (New Danger Room verion)

Just trying out some of the new figures, and two expensive LE's I haven't had a chance to use.

All of the new Danger Room X-men are good and cheap. Nice, even point values, too. Surprisingly, Angel is probably the best figure in the set.

Ka-Zar's not too bad for 40 pts. The new LE Wolverine wasn't too useful.

The new "Ground Zero" card is EVIL. Wiped out about half of another guy's team, before I even got to fight him. It can deal additional, unavoidable damage to either the attacker or attackee.

For 7/20/06 - GAME 1 (400 pt. 4-player - WIN)

Arkon (Unique)
Spider-Man (106 pt black costume, Sinister version)
Mockingbird
Whizzer
Wingless Wizard

We played a "Sinister only" game. Used the "telekinetic strain" condition card, which did absolutley nothing since noboyd used telekinesis.

Won a Sam Wilson/Falcon LE figure.

For 8/10/06
Game 1- (300 pt. 2 player -LOSS)
-LE Sam Wilson/Falcon
-Spider Armor Spider-Man unique

Game 2- (200 pts, 3 player. Time Limit/Everybody Got Bored)
Trapster
Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau version)
Sprite
Valkyrie
Wasp

Second team wasn't supposed to be themed, but it ended up being "coupla' chics and and some guy in pink" (Trapster).

I've been playing consistently for the past few weeks, just haven't posted. I'm sure People-Not-Named-Stragand are concerned...

For 9/28/06
GAME 1 (400 pts, 3-player, LOSS)
Goliath (Atlas from T-Bolts)
Whirlwind
Skurge the Executioner
Beetle
Radioactive Man
Black Knight

Themed "Masters of Evil" team. I forgot to use the Masters team ability, which allows you to keep pushing, indefintely. Radioactive Man and Beetle are great pieces.

Black Knight's marked as an Avenger obviously. But his uncle was an original Master, and he did infiltrate them back in the days of the first Crimson Cowl.

For 10/26/06
Game 1 - (400 pts, 2 player -WIN)

Themed Halloweenies team
-Mr. Hyde
-Ghost (Iron Man villain)
-Solomon Grundy
-Jack o' Lantern (Spidey villain)
-Arnim Zola (headless guy. works for the theme)
-Batman (Icons version)
-Ka-Zar (guys in loin clothes are scary. Unfortunately, someone always dresses up like Tarzan for Halloween)

Game 2- (300 pts, 3 player - LOSS)

The International SuperBuddies Team
-Statesman
-Captain Britain
-Rocket Red

For 01/25/07
Game 1 - (500 pts, 3 player -WIN)
-Ant-Man
-Doctor Psycho
-Joe Ledger (Dr. Spectrum LE)
-Vance Astro
-Charcoal
-Geo-Force

We played on the incredibly annoying "Asteroid belt" map. Cuts ranged attacks in half and affects movement.

Ant-Man's a booger and my new "team captain". He's tough to hit and can outwit a buncha' crap.
