Ever since the Avengers movie, my longtime love for the Black Widow character has been freshly revived (even though Scarlet Johansson’s casting is my least favorite thing about the film. I’m so over it). So at first opportunity, I played a 400-point team composed soley of every single version of Black Widow in my collection:… [Read more…]

So this little feature grew to be one of the toughest to do, each week. Part of the reason is because I really wanted to go into detail writing about each step of the match. But time just simply doesn’t allow for it. Lack of time and opportunity also did a number on my actual… [Read more…]

I really wanted to write about an all-monster theme team or something. But my new job has cut out a lot of the extra gaming I’ve gotten used to over the past several years, so I’ve had to settle for 2 out of 3: Queen of Fables (Superman #049) yeah, a chick with squid for… [Read more…]

OK, so there’s this mad scenario that the head judge at Dragon*Con likes to run. Here are the rules: To keep the number of players even at DragonCon’s last event, I played instead of judging. Here was the wild scenario: Trials of Dragon*Con Modern Age/No bystanders/No multi-based figures Bring a 6 figure team with no… [Read more…]

Yep, I played this some weeks ago in a 100% Captain America set Golden Age tournament.

A few months back, I played Diana’s Wardrobe: a team consisting of figures wearing some costume that Wonder Woman’s worn across the years. With the recent release of Wonder Woman (#D-001) at Origins and GenCon, there’s a new addition. I was blessed with one of these ultra-rare figures by a fellow player (and brother-in-Christ), so… [Read more…]

After what’s probably the hugest FAIL factor game I’ll ever play, you’d think I wouldn’t so much as touch a team composed of all the Alter Ego figures in HeroClix: With no fliers, phasers or Leap/Climbers, this weak swarm team is pretty immobile. They’ve got hardly any range, or damage reduction, or speed. They take… [Read more…]

So I got a phoned invitation from a friend across town to play a game. I happened to be free and halfway there already and decided to make the trip. And though I was packing a Diana’s Wardrobe team, I had another team I’d been aching to try out: wall-to-wall Alter Egos! Norman Osborn (Web… [Read more…]

Welcome again to my typical Wednesday feature. Along with your new comic reading, check out how my Heroclixin’ went this weekend. The inspiration of the team: Last week, we learned we’d end up having an NFL season after all, and the scenario required 400 points of no-females. With the latest version of Falcon released in… [Read more…]

Dr. Manhattan (#005) 276 Ozymandias 83 The Comedian (#006) 83 Rorschach 57 Nite Owl (#003) 53 Silk Spectre (#002) 46 = 596 points. Ever since I scored the $100 collector’s set for a simple trade of a chase figure, I’ve been hoping for a 600-point build to run the whole team in. Finally got the… [Read more…]
