Some of you old heads out there might remember the above game. It certainly topped my wishlist that Christmas. Anyway, it’s what I titled this recent scenario at my venue: Colossal figures, old and new, are encouraged for this Golden Age event! No feats or resources are allowed for colossals, but they are encouraged for […]

Continuing Heroclixin’s photographic record of Super-Strong figs that can hold objects, again. Here we continue both the DC HeroClix 10th Anniversary roundup and wrap up the Halloweeny focus on the freakish with this most famous of comics monsters, the Hulk! It’s kind of a tough hold. You’ve got to push the token as far into […]

Battle Reports…needs a new name.

Heroclixin’ has a cute name for everything. F.U.N. Fridays. Card Arts. Token Totin’ whatever. “Battle Reports” just isn’t doing it for me. ‘Course, longtime readers may recall that I did have a cute name for this feature before I dropped it for being too long: “New Comic Day Battles.” Because it was scheduled for Wednesdays, right? […]

Battle Reports: MODOK’s 11

Last summer I wrote about fielding this team en toto. I got a chance to run a truncated version of it soon after, but as it was lacking nearly half the members (500-point game), it wasn’t nearly satisfying. Well, with a 900-point “last chance for Modern Age”  tourney a few months ago, I finally brought […]

Continuing Heroclixin’s photographic record of Super-Strong figs that can hold objects, again. Here we continue both the DC HeroClix 10th Anniversary roundup and the Halloweeny focus on the freakish with this zombified version of the Amazonian heroine: Black Lantern Wonder Woman (022) holds her token at the knees, between them and the axe “swoosh.” _____ Tomorrow’s Friday […]

Continuing the photographic record of just how each character with the Super Strength power can hold their object token somewhere on the sculpt unassisted. After my buggy camera ate a nearly complete set of pix from both 10th Anniversary sets, I’ve been slowly trying to reassemble the record. Last time we looked at the unassuming […]

Fighting Fire with F.U.N.: Thanos 049

One of the least fun things to face in this game is the killbox: a zone of the map in which a player can lay down multiple attacks on a target before the target can counter or pre-empt it. In times past, it was Stealth- and range-heavy teams that could best use this strategy with […]

I can’t draw this out any longer. Here are the top four worst sculpts in HeroClix: ____ 4 Morgan Le Fay (Critical Mass) Y’know, she’s supposed to be scary AND beautiful: I don’t even need to write any more. Just do the side-by-side for yourself. ____ 3 Green Lantern (Origin) It’s not an optical illusion. […]
