F.U.N. Fights: Memorial Day mashup

May 29, 2013

0

So a clix-playing friend invited a number of other players to his place for food and then a fight. I came up with this scenario: We each build five 200-point teams and play one at a time. As a force is KO’d, place one of your remaining teams in the starting area (with immunity until […]

Token Totin’ TITANS (part four)

May 28, 2013

0

More token-holding action in Teen Titans, courtesy of Soviet-era Russian, Red Star (012): Much like Superboy, he can’t do much other than lamely lean it on his chest. But I found that using some of the heat-then-bend-then-stanch-in-cool-water techniques I learned in my Custom Mods series, I was able to mod this piece ever so slightly […]

Card Art #26: Repulsor

May 27, 2013

0

Continuing this ostensibly weekly (but more like monthly) series talking about DC feats and BFC cards that I went back and customized with artwork for fun. (Here’s a link back to the original concept.) Today, Card Arts continues with Origin’s Feat cards. The next feat of the set is Repulsor: Terrible feat — who’d want to […]

F.U.N. forces: Secret Avengers (for real this time)

May 24, 2013

0

Welcome to F.U.N. Forces, an occasional feature for Fridays where I share some team ideas or goofball themes I’m looking forward to running. Recently, the dial and card for Valkyrie (Fear Itself 005) was revealed. That means, at long last, I will finally be able to run an Avengers keyword-thematic Secret Avengers (vol. 1) #1 […]

Token Totin’ TITANS (part three)

May 23, 2013

0

More token-holding action in Teen Titans, courtesy of Ridge (043):   The monster guy holds it tenuously between his right forearm and knee. There’s probably a way to maybe work his tail into a grip as well, but I didn’t test for that. –––– More to come next Tuesday. Tomorrow, we’ll look at a comic-accurate […]

Token Totin’ TITANS (part two)

May 23, 2013

Sorry I missed Tuesday’s update. Here’s Superboy (Teen Titans 026) in token-holding action: …yeah. He DOESN’T really hold it, beyond the lame “lean it on his butt” method shown above. I guess it works, sort of. –––– More to come next Tuesday.

Battle Report: No Man’s Land month 6 (take 2)

May 21, 2013

0

I was in some kind of quandary. I could not decide which team to run.  Last go-round, I’d run a pretty min/max force with three good attackers backed by a full pit crew that did barely better than squat against teams that weren’t even the roughest out there. So this time I decided to run […]

Card Art #25: Pounce

(Here’s a link back to the original concept.) Today, Card Arts continues with Origin’s Feat cards. The next feat of the set is Pounce, the feat that used to make […]

F.U.N. Forces: Teen Titans additions

May 16, 2013

0

This is an occasional article I plan to include in Heroclixin’ whenever a new set drops.  See, while some players collect X-Men or Justice Society characters, I have…odder themes that I like to complete. It’s why, even in a set like Teen Titans that I have almost zero interest in, I still find pieces that […]

Token Totin’ TITANS (part one)

May 16, 2013

A new set brings more Super-Strong figs to photograph toting their object tokens. And we’ll start with the first of several versions of Wonder Girl: She holds a token tenuously but well between her lasso hand and her left leg. –––– Lots more to come next Tuesday.
