It must be from a retailer-only link, but there IS another TMNT set coming:quote:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles HeroClix: Unplugged features fan favorite characters in never-before-seen ways, including Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Donatello, Raphael, and TMNT villains like Shredder! As always, there will be can't miss UnClixed characters like General Traag and Lieutenant Granitor. Edit: And there's a Thor: Ragnarok movie set coming, and X-Men: First Class. https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/37928/x-men-first-class-registers-marvel-heroclix

Giving -2 attack, with a chance of dealing penetrating damage is pretty dang sweet for 35 points... he's like a diet Shredder. Is there an easy way to give him Sidestep? Morand posted:It would probably get outdated pretty fast Would it change that much? If we did a rotating top 10, updated every... 3 months, we could keep a pretty good OP list going. My votes: - Jakeem - Goblin King - DKR Green Arrow - Green Arrow JL ID Card - Uni-Mind - Mangog - Claw Shredder - Shiva Shredder - Mini Shredder - Shark Shredder

I've always liked the AvX Magneto - he's just so expensive. The rule changes have probably helped that piece, with Invincible. Plus, the rule change for TK lets him move himself for free. I like the DoFP Mags, but he just has nothing on defense to help.

Steve Vader posted:Huh. Haven't tried to return anything since the old days, when I got a Calypso fig on a Rupert dial and managed to score the super-duper-ultra rare LE of the Mole Man. Maybe I'll give this a shot. Thanks! I think it's their legal way out of saying 'we're out of that one, here's another at the same rarity'. I just replaced the Green Lantern of Gotham - I sent in the broken one (with card) and got a new one a few weeks later. I would imagine the 'get a different one at the same rarity' thing applies to older sets, as those stockpiles probably decrease with time. This is all conjecture, but for Gorn, I think you'd be safe sending it in for a replacement.

Going to rock lady Thor, Enchantress, and 120 point Loki from Avengers Assemble. Loki and Enchantress give lots of support with their abilities and I really like the combination of Loki and Enchantress using mind control with Enchantress also freely moving units around, and they both have normal support abilities. Please post away! More life in this thread is a good thing. I'd also like to share pictures of storage options, if you're still interested.

Fingers McLongDong posted:Here's another question: what opening placement/movement strategies do you guys follow? 1. This: Morand posted:A good concept to think of during games is “swing”. Swing is basically the amount of squares a figure can effectively attack in. For example a piece with 8 range and running shot with a speed of 8 has a swing of 12 since they can move 4 and then shoot you. This is important to know because if you end a movement 13 squares away from them you know they can’t hurt you. Swing can be messed with though. TK has a min range of 6 and max of the figures printed range so it would bump that swing up to 18 or more. Perplexing up range etc. You should always be counting squares. Your opening placement shouldn't give your opponent an easy target. 2. Also make the map work for you. If you're on a map with tons of hindering, your opening placement should take advantage of it by using the available cover - but if you park someone in hindering who doesn't have great movement, you may have essentially stranded that piece for the next few turns. Remember that parking behind hindering terrain can be just as valuable as sitting in it. 3. Figures with Leadership don't really maximize their value if they're not trying to remove tokens from friendly characters. 4. If you have characters with Sidestep, Phasing/Teleport, and other improved means of moving and/or carrying, these figures should be part of your first- and second-turn plans. 5. If you're in a multi-player game, and you go first, remember first-turn immunity. If you throw everyone out there first, they're easy pickin's on a small map. Someone else can correct me, but it may be better to sit back and watch what everyone else does with a little protection.

Okay, so, here are a bunch of things every and any Heroclix player should do/think/see/have/watch/read: - The Tabletop Teacher: He does amazing, high-quality videos about rules, new sets, and so on. Highly recommended: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWcWOXdf-CG6K1gTFgjNNxA/videos - Married with Clix: Husband and wife team explain various things about the game and also review sets: https://www.youtube.com/user/MarriedWithClix/videos - Dial H for Heroclix: Good, once-a-week podcast about Heroclix. This is more a fun show that talks about new sets and stuff. Follow 'em on Twitter and send them questions, if you'd like: http://dialhforheroclix.podbean.com/ - List of Team Abilities from Heroclix.com: Win.WizKids.com Then buy these: Tiny storage totes (little storage bins that're the size of a clix figure; good for all sorts of accessories):  Sterilite ID Storage Totes:   As others have said, Plano makes good little storage trays with dividers and such. I personally buy Flambeau tackle boxes, but they're pretty much the same. I carry the Flambeau and other stuff in one of these:  (buy it here: https://www.target.com/p/sterilite-174-stack-carry-tray-organizer-storage-tote-2-pc-clear-with-green-latch/-/A-14779290) After that, buy some card protectors/sleeves and a Deck Box for the cards. Some folks use trays (all sorts of dealers make these):  (buy 'em at: http://www.herotrays.com/, or visit Etsy) I also use Sistema food containers from Target to hold kleenex-wrapped Chases, groups of commons, or other accessories:  Yes, I fit tons of junk into my carry tote, somehow.

While we're talking Hulks, is there a way to identify any Marvel characters who could be considered gamma-irradiated? I wanted to do a gamma-themed game for a home scenario, but wanted something easier than a long list of characters.

CapnAndy posted:Anyone with "Hulk" in their name except for Hulkbusters, the Leader, Abomination, A-Bomb, Doc Samson, Mighty Thorr, and Wolverage. That's the list. Hulkbusters were human. Leader, Abomination, A-Bomb, and Samson are gamma-irradiated. Thorr and Wolverage (along with Hulkpool, Hulkmariner, Hulklops, Winter Hulk, and Icehulk) are Hulked-Out Heroes. Hulkling is not a irradiated Hulk, I think. ManiacClown posted:There's also arguably Skaar, though that's probably more purely genetic than from direct irradiation. Lyra's in the same boat. Yeah, that's true - Skaar was never exposed to the radiation. Same for Lyra - but that discounts Maestro.

Morand posted:I have an event Sunday. "Do you have that in my size?" 500 points, must have a figure who is tiny, giant, or colossal. Judge clarified that it doesn't need to be on the base and can be acquired via Special Power. Hit-Monkey is a great tiny-sized piece who more than carries his weight. The AoU Rita Yellowjacket is a really useful piece who can go tiny, and fits on a lot of teams. Elasti-Girl is a ton of fun, but she was mentioned. Great Eagle is a giant who doesn't count against theme. CWOP Goliath is a cheap-ish giant who can do a ton of damage. Computo is surprisingly effective, and really annoys your opponent.

I really wish the Flock of Bats had the Batman Family keyword, but I guess I understand why they don't. Maybe at least give them the 'they don't break theme as long as you have someone named 'Batman' on your force'.

I got myself the Devil Dinosaur & Moon Girl and Giant-Girl from eBay, and will look for a generic Kree Sentry once the price comes down a little more. Those are pretty much the only colossals I want from this set, and I have zero interest in having tons of colossal pieces I don't want - so this is the first set I won't buy any sealed product of since I started playing regularly.

He also had a TRM Grandmaster, so yes, I'm getting a Jeff Goldblum figure. Yay! Now I'll be able to commit some manner of retardery with them at some point. I could maybe mod one into the Shocker-Mobile. A guy who works at our venue modded a friend's dune buggy:  Reusing the Spider-Mobile sculpt to give us a generic dune buggy was still an extremely lovely decision, though.

Seller in Germany is selling bricks and I'm mighty tempted just because I barely got any of that set when it came out and it seemed to sell out to a degree greater than any other set I've ever seen, even the uncommons are surprisingly expensive and/or non existent on Ebay. Get the brick, they sold out pretty quickly. Just hope you don't pull the bullshit flora colossus.

They likely figure the competitive players will automatically buy a case or two each and the casuals will keep buying a brick and packs here and there, keeping the game afloat. Their (for the most part) less-than-inspired dial design seems to lend some weight to this. I wouldn't be surprised if even they think the game's on life support and are just coasting until the eventual end, which I'd give as still at least three or four years out. Just give me a Sin-Eater before the game dies.

I mean, if they lose Marvel or DC's licensing rights, they're dead in the water, right? I can't imagine they'd lose it, because it's probably been a dependable source of income for those companies, and Clix sells consistently, but you never know.
