Just finished a sealed prelease and it was my first tourney, real game and two boosters and it was pretty fun. Got SR batman and SR Super, too. Finished second to last for two uncommons. Problem is I now want to buy more boosters. Oh well.

I dragged my extras out of my car. It's a mix of Nick, TW, SM/WW and such Notable pieces include prime Atom from SM/WW, Rare Thanos from GOTG, Captain Marvel Prime from same set. TW SR WW. A pile of cur's from each set. I'll basically charge shipping to take them all off my hands.

I don't have PMs but I'd take whatever from Superman/Wonderwoman (including the prime Atom if the maniacal clown didn't call dibs) and that rare Thanos, would give you a little extra as well, for the trouble. Email is tehrevel@hotmail.com

We had 12 boosters left over from our official pre-release, so we did some World's Finest battle royales today. Impossibly, ANOTHER god pack popped out... unfortunately, it was in the battle royale that I wasn't playing in, but it was still really cool to see. Continuing with the impossible trend, a World's Finest got pulled in my battle royale, and I somehow managed to nearly solo that drat thing with Klarion & Teekl. They got hit once by speedy-Supes for 2, but all the rest of the damage came from that little cat darting in when the duo was pushed, having super-lucky die rolls, and then getting the heck out of dodge when they cleared. I also had Major Force being a super-toxic influence on the map, getting hit to click #6 and then hanging around longer than he should, doing penetrating Poison to most of the map. The top two players from each battle royale got to buy in to one final one with our remaining boosters. I pulled prime Superman, who got work done, but the shining star of that battle royale was my Condiment King, who is just such a disgusting little tie-up piece. Pushed to click 2, he gets Poison, Plasticity, and an effective 18 defense up close... he was tying up whole teams. All in all, it was a great day of 'Clix. I ended up heading home with the World's Finest, World's Vilest, prime Superman, the all-important Condiment King, and some less-exciting stuff. Really dig this set for battle royales... convention season is going to be a blast.

Today was 600 point gang fight. One person on your force had to be over 100 points, everyone else had to be less then 101. I traded for all the metal men after pulling the 2 SR's last pre release and I ran them Alloy at 275 Doc Magnus Mercury Copper Lead Iron Gold Platinum Tin I just wanted to see if the Metal Men could hang in an event. They did so well in the pre-release I had to try. Round 1 versus Nekron at 600 I won map roll and chose the prison to limit him taking shots at me before I was ready. I basically clumped up around Platinum on my side of the map. Managed to get first shot with alloy but lost platinum to his next strike. Knocked him to blades and he went for Tin, with everyone taking a penetrating click as he rolled low. Alloy came in and hot for 5 more. I lost Mercury before it was all said and done but the Metal Men were able to take down Nekron. Round 2 versus WOL Hal Jordan Parallax OP Kit Amanda Waller OP Kit Deadshot Bucky Bronze Tiger HOT Jimmy Woo Green Lantern Ring This was a team by a new guy and he had a plan with it which is more then I usually see him having his teams. He used Amanda to give the squad keyword to Parallax so Amada could leadership tokens off him and get nano bomb bonuses. Sadly he made several misplays during the game. I won map roll and chose the prison. He could have blown up walls to remove tokens all the time from Parallax but never thought of it. He moved Deadshot well into charge range and lost him to Alloy. He outwitted charge when I had 2 tokens. The list goes on. I took his team but lost nothing. This summary sounds obnoxiously arrogant but the recap wouldn't be much more then, and then he moved up and I killed a thing over and over. Round 3 versus Mystical Malekith at 350 JL Enchantress at 50 Klarion the Witch Boy Apprentice Dr Strange with Eclipso equipped Bat Cowl as relic Won map roll again and placed us on the prison. Slow start as he tried and failed to nab the cowl with Malekith and I stayed bunched up. He was able to take a shot on Alloy and hit my 22 with Malekith. I took 5. Ran back to the doc and was healed for 4. He positioned a bit and Malekith ended Iron, he then perplexed his defense to a 20. Doc managed to hit an 8 and put alloy top dial. Alloy and tin perplexed my attack to a 15 and hit Malekith with an ultra heavy. Did 6 after impervious failed, took mystic click. Copper moved up and based most of his team with platinum lending out an 18. He popped off teekl to try and hit copper. Copper hit SC though. He managed to hit alloy onto a sidestep and responsometer click. I sidestepped, nabbed a heavy and finished off Malekith. Doc then healed alloy top dial again and that was basically it as he'd lost his biggest offensive threat. Finished 3-0 with 1799 points. The metal men kicked all sorts of rear end and I was amazed. I remember them being an awful joke team and now they are ultra cost effective. Did not play Andy, he lost in the first round to the Mystical team I beat in the finale. He had a hydra squad that was built to ruin high defense teams and would have been very difficult to beat. Morand fucked around with this message at 11:43 on Feb 8, 2016 |

Baron Strucker Wolverine, Agent of Hydra Imperial Hydra Agent Ward Hydra Agent H Hydra Section Chief Hydra Field Agent x3 Hydra Recruit x3 and the Hulkbuster Torso, because it was 10 points and my team was 590 and the plan was for Wolverine to equip it, but that ended up never happening because I valued it more as undestroyable hindering terrain or Wolverine had better things to be doing than standing on hindering terrain and taking a power action to turn it into clear terrain when his Stealth is the #1 thing that protects him. Round 1 was against the Mystics team. I severely underestimated their stealth because I managed to ignore both Eclipso and the Cowl, so I picked Black Mercy. That screwed me out of the game, on a clear map I would've had this. Malekith made his first try for the Cowl and I was still able to knock him to mid-dial before he got to cover. I ended up just sending everyone up in a swarm and made a match out of it. I realized about midway through I'd been forgetting to keep track of Field Agents and Recruits killed, so in the end we both tried to remember it and decided to say he'd KO'd 300 points worth of figures, that sounded about right. Lost 300-175. Stupid, stupid map choice. That'll teach me to pay attention. Round 2 was against some mishmash team, played by another new guy who's friends with the other new guy who Morand played in Round 2 and I played in Round 3. He had Doppleganger, Samuroid, SI Hercules, Pip the Troll, a Nurse, Jenny Quantum, umm... some other stuff. What he didn't have was stealth, a theme team, or a chance in hell. I put him on the Black Mercy and shot everyone to death with my Yes I Have Range and No You Don't Have A Defense powers. He did, however, pull off the ballerest move ever seen at the venue when he just marched Jenny right up to my murder swarm and then pulse waved 'em, doing 12 clicks of damage in one attack. That was awesome. It didn't help, since I responded by having Baron Strucker brutally beat her to death since he was now surrounded by Recruits who'd been knocked onto Empower, but it was still awesome. Round 3 was, like I said, against the other new guy playing his actually fairly clever Suicide Squad team. Also no stealth there, so back on the Black Mercy we went. He actually got the drop on me because I was so focused on Parallax that I didn't notice that Deadshot was within 10 of my firing line, had a clear line of fire, and ignores hindering terrain. And with his shot, he went after... one of my Field Agents. He missed, too, but honestly I was rooting for him to make that shot harder than he was, because I could just bring the Field Agent right back and I'd honestly rather get to take two tokens away and have a +1 across the board on all my guys next turn. Anyway, I shot Deadshot right back on my turn, and my guys don't miss, and then I shot Parallax too for good measure. He tried to walk Bronze Tiger up to me, because new guys I guess, so I shot him dead and then everyone moved up and Wolverine got to lead the charge as we handled Waller, Bucky, and Jimmy Woo up close. Went 2-1 and was good for second place. I'm rather bummed I didn't get to play Nekron, since the idea of Hydra mercilessly gunning down the god of death while he flails about helplessly because they're hiding and he can't see them is hilarious to me. AND SERIOUSLY WHY DID NOBODY ELSE PLAY A SWARM TEAM, that format was begging to run SHIELD and Doctor Locke had to just sit around twiddling his thumbs and feeling useless most of the time. And speaking of useless, Imperial Hydra utterly failed to bring anyone back in Rounds 2 or 3. I guess he felt my need was not great enough, because he returned 'em pretty regularly in Round 1 when I actually needed to just spam an unending swarm and hope it was enough.

I played one of our local judges in a friendly 300 point match, primarily to see how the prime Harlequin plays. I put together an Arkham Asylum team of: Poison Ivy Condiment King Joker's Daughter Harlequin Arkham Asylum ATA x4 He played a Gotham City team of: Gaslight Batman Jonah Hex Jason Blood, possessed by Eclipso I won map roll, and went to the New Timbetpal map from month 3 of AoU. Joker's Daughter called Jason Blood as her dad. We both did some setup to get near the middle of the map. I did a bait with Joker's Daughter after perplexing her up and taking Prob. He had Jonah Hex running shot out, pop part of the blocking, and had Batman run up to hide in it. Harlequin ran up, popped a Jack-in-the-Box, which hit Batman for 3, then Joker's Daughter sidestepped into its place and popped him again for 3, then Ivy smoked to keep them safe. He cleared, then I had Joker's Daughter sidestep away with Plasticity from the Arkham ATA, then popped the box again, which cleaned Batman out. At that point, my opponent couldn't do damage fast enough to take me out before the box KO'd Hex. I only wound up losing Condiment King. This was definitely a very finesse-y, but it came together pretty well, and the ATA helps a bit with positioning. Harlequin was definitely the MVP, despite her relatively unassuming dial. Being able to attack every turn is really, really nice, and I'll never turn down a free 10 AV with Blades/RCE. Not to mention that the box is a free action to pop out, and a free action to attack, so I wound up popping it out, taking a shot, outwitting a reducer, then poisoning before my turn even properly started. I really want to find more fun things to do with her.

Not going brick for World's Finest, but I did grab 4 boosters. In case you guys are trying to ID which art gets which stuff: Batman on Top: Zatara, Demon, c Poison Ivy, Iron, Prime 017b Superman Superman on Top: Etrigan, Major Force, Negative Man, c Poison Ivy, 002 Superman Batman on Top: 054 Joker, Blackbriar Thorn, Occultist, c Poison Ivy, Robotman Superman on Top: Deadman ID card, 001 Superman, 003 Batman, Creeper, Crazy Jane, Condiment King I'm actually surprised my fourth booster didn't have a Poison Ivy. Edit: Don't bother trying to scratch off the ID card number - just peel the sticker off.

Waffles Inc. posted:Finally playing in a Worlds Finest sealed on Sunday--any figures that are bigger performers than they look on paper I should be looking out for? Booster and Beetle are phenomenal for their points; full dials of 10 attack and they always play well with others on every click. If you pull another Metal Men, Platinum is amazing for the double Outwit; paired with Sidestep and 18 defend she's a solid cheap backbone for your team and can push (or take strategic Posion) to surprise with 11 Blades. Full dial Robotman is no slouch, the Shifting Focus Supermen are all worthwhile investments, and Nightwing can attack every turn without ever getting an action token if you use him right. If you roll Shape Change consistently, Wizard is a hilarious troll piece with good support powers and the ability to fart out tigers as he teleports away from danger. Element Man is nothing short of the best point-for-point piece in the set.

Waffles Inc. posted:Finally playing in a Worlds Finest sealed on Sunday--any figures that are bigger performers than they look on paper I should be looking out for? Condiment King is a fantastic tie-up piece, as long as he's not facing down one of the two big duos or a KC figure. Push him to click 2 and base as many people as you can - he's Plasticity + Poison, and everybody next to him has a -2 to hit him. He's the sleeper of the set, in my opinion. Klarion and Teekl work very, very well together. You can either get a crazy-long alpha strike (something like 17 square threat range) if you're willing to just commit Teekl to a single important hit. Or, if you're more conservative with them, you've got PC plus Perplex, a decent ranged attacker, and a decent-if-fragile close attacker that is very easy to protect. Echoing what Sanschel said, too. I've seen Wizard and Element Man both do wonderful things, in local sealed events.

So I got my WF case and opened up. Grand total: CUR: Nearly complete, missing only Condiment King and Crazy Quilt. IDs: Superman, Batman, Blue Beetle, Aquaman, Cyborg Prime: Nightlantern SRs: Joker's Daughter, Platinum, World's Vilest, Superman, Batman, Metallo Chase: Green Lantern I am... mostly happy with this. The Superman and Beetle ID cards are dupes, as is Metallo, and Joker's Daughter is pretty meh. The Green Lantern chase is having to do most of the really good pull heavy lifting, but, man... I dunno. I wanted most of those SRs, and then I look at the list and there's still a great deal of figures I also wanted on the ones I didn't get. SRs were too good this time, there's very few inessential ones, maybe that's the problem.

Also, those Turtles all look bad rear end, especially the original comic versions in white with the red masks. Now I'm regretting not preordering any, and I'm a little worried I won't be able to get in.

Silliness aside, you can now double up on cards that have good effects to maximize the power that lets you choose a different inspiration and let everyone use it. Superman and Wonder Man?

I've got a 500 Modern game this weekend. I've got a Black Lantern team planned in case I don't care about the prize, but if it's streaky I'm probably going HAM. To that end, I've come up with a Scientist theme with Deathlok and the Maximum Carnage ATA, as that's served me well a couple times. I'll likely also come up with an Assassin team so I can use Kingpin plus Balls of Fury. Thoughts on the Scientists? Ant-Man's supposed to play cheap tie-up and commit size fuckery for carrying while Deathstorm is anti-meta with Matter Separation (used if opposing Construct assignment is of consequence) but also a subtle co-primary attacker with Black Hand possessing and the Ring giving him +1 to stats.pre:WXM011b Deathlok 154 ↑↑ATA Maximum Carnage 8 NFAOS047 Dr. Demonicus 80 FJLTW006 Deathstorm 125 WOL060p ↑ Black Hand 25 AOU003r Ant-Man 50 DP020 Weasel 27 WOLR108 Black Battery 2 Black Ring 6 Spotlight 6 Axe 6 Sniper Rifle 6 Bulldozer 4 Mallet 4 --------------------------- Total: 499 Theme: Scientist pre:NFAOS056 Nick Fury 120 DP059 Kingpin 118 BMAO017 Firefly 115 FL009 Mob Rule 40 DP021 Outlaw 75 WOLR106 SS Battery 8 SS Ring 8 Net 8 Stop Sign 8 Sniper Rifle 6 --------------------------- Total: 500 Theme: Assassin pre:WOL058 Galius Zed (BL) 150 WOL048 Firestorm 140 WOL060p ↑ Black Hand 25 WOL008 Black Lantern 35 Reanimate WOL012b Hal Jordan (BL) 99 WOLR108 Black Battery 2 Black Ring 6 Mallet 4 ←Galius Zed Wall 10 Decoy 6 Net 8 Bulldozer 4 ←Firestorm?

My next scheduled Heroclix game isn't for two weeks, which'll be a 600 point named theme team game. Since we're allowed a different team each round, I've opted for three teams I've been aching to try: Squadron Supreme: Hyperion Power Princess Spectrum Nighthawk The most alpha-strikey of the three, I've been sitting on these primes forever and haven't used any save for the sealed games in which I pulled Spectrum and Whizzer. One Outwit, a possible TK, and Hyperion hitting hard without worrying about modifiers, there's nothing too fancy unless I feel like being more creative with Spectrum than just choosing TK/Psy Blast/PW. Maximum Carnage: Carrion Carnage Shriek Doppelgänger Demogoblin ATA I've been waiting since Morand announced he was making Shriek to run this, if that's any indication as to how rarely a 600 pt format pops up around here. At first I thought this team wouldn't be terribly competitive, but I forgot just how many tricks all of these guys have. With the ATA to disrupt clustery teams, there's a lot of damage that can be done in a single turn. Much less tentpole heavy than the Squadron, the loss of any one Carnage Family member doesn't really hinder the others, though keeping Shriek safe is always a must. Hopefully I get to play against a Spidey for maximum theme. Injustice Society: Solomon Grundy Vandal Savage @half Shade @half Per Degaton Wizard This team is surprisingly tricky as I'll start off with three Outwits, two Probs, a Sidestep/TK, a Flier, my three support people have built in protections, my primary attackers are pains in the rear end to put down, and I can push Shade for a double Perplex. These guys are rough as gently caress, and I don't really feel the lack of long range pieces when my shutdown is that heavy. Also for funsies, I thought of a boss 300 point team for the next time we run that format: Arkham Asylum: Poison Ivy prime Joker's Daughter SoG Scarecrow Slosh Riddler I appreciate that it's lacking move and attack, and that much of my damage is predicated upon Mind Control, the opponent having enough action tokens, and the opponent having a worthwhile father figure for Duela. It's also easy enough to pad out with extra figures to enhance the basic idea for larger point games: 400+ you add Black Mask, then you can start using other actual attackers like Croc or Deadshot and Harley depending on what you're going for.

 So, let's imagine we have a colossal WF Elasti-Girl, two squares away from a GSX Mystique, with Stealth, sitting in printed hindering terrain. Can Elasti-Girl reach over via Giant Reach to attack Mystique? Judge sez: No, because Giant Reach requires you to draw a line of fire. HC Realms sez: Yes, because you're targeting the square.

"Targeting the square" is only a thing with Telekinesis, I think. I think your judge is right. Although it shouldn't be, because it's still a close combat attack and those don't require line of fire.
