ManiacClown posted:In other news: DoFP Colossus! He's got one of those "Outwit this or you can't Outwit anything else" powers at his 200-point level and is pretty nice all around, with traited Super Strength and beginning-of-turn-only Sidestep. Also I am probably going to buy a gravity feed of DofP on Amazon when it comes out (on Amazon mainly because I have like $80 in Amazon gift cards). What do the breakdowns for a set like this normally seem like? I'm assuming a 50% chance of the chase, and not all of the rares. Should I expect every common and uncommon?

Fritzler posted:I really like him at the 200 pt line (especially because I started playing at FI and don't have Colossanaut (one of my big wants)), but I don't see a reason to play him at 100 over the WatX common (and I love playing WatX Forge with Colossus). The rarity for CTDs are always kinda weird and inconsistent; at 24 characters you won't get a full CUR, but should get most of the C/U lot and 3-4 R. Chases are up in the air; M10 & DC10 had it at one per brick but had three chases, I don't recall the rarity for Odin from the original AVM display but I think he was one per brick, and LotR only get one chase per case.

You know what always sucks? Getting shot at by a Stealth Buster when you have a squishy base defense value. It's like your only protection was the Stealth, so much for that.  With a Stealth & ES/D Combo, you aren't as vulnerable when out in the open, and you also aren't a sitting duck against Stealth Busters. Really forces them to come to you with that combination.

Well guys, I could use some more advice for a team. This upcoming monday is 500pts, Modern Age only. The rule for teambuilding: "No White Guys" So I'm trying to think of who I could run. I'm thinking of running DC10 Martian Manhunter since I've never run him, but aside from that, I've got little to no ideas of who to run. There are a few new ones that came out, but I'm not sure of any good ideas. I know it would be easy to run Bizarro, Darkseid, or Braniac, but I don't want to be "that guy" even though it's almost guaranteed someone is going to do it since we have 500 points to play with.

War Machine, Blade, John Stewart, Luke Cage, Black Panther, Storm, Bishop, Cloak, Falcon. That's all I got. I don't know too many DC characters, but you already said Martian Manhunter. edit: I just realized that no white guys could mean way more than black people, but that's where my mind went

I don't know too many DC characters, but you already said Martian Manhunter. I think I know who picked the game, so I think that's where their mind went also. So far, here's the list of figures I've narrowed it down to (which I also have): CW Kang, DC10 Braniacs, DC10 Martian Manhunter, ASM Dr. Voodoo, ASM Man-Thing, FI Mokk, TT Cyborg, WXM Deathlok prime, WXM Bishop, WXM Storm, AO Killer Croc, IIM Death's Head, IIM Shaman, AVX Black Panther, SLOSH Bizarro, SLOSH Darkseid, SLOSH Persuader, SLOSH Solomon Grundy (may not actually qualify), SLOSH Tellus (he looks to be some kind of salamander thing, so definitely not a white guy). I'm not sure where to go with those figures. Edit: It seems there is no rule against resources, so I could probably use any of them.

SublimeDelusions posted:I'm not sure where to go with those figures. Quick build from what you posted: Book of the Skull Tellus (with Nul's hammer) Deathlok (with Angrir's hammer) Full-point Cyborg (with Skadi's hammer) 100-point Man-Thing (with Mok's hammer) 1 more hammer, if you get all 4 equipped. Get a map with lots of walls or elevations, if you win the roll. Man-Thing gets the first hammer, since he needs the Plasticity. Tellus gets the second, since he needs the Willpower. The other two can take them as needed, but don't be afraid to just drop one on one of your characters to get the free action Quake without bothering to pick it up. Cyborg blasts away at the opposing team through strategically-placed objects, forcing them to close with you or get shot to pieces. When they get about halfway across the map, Man-Thing bases as many as he can... he might Poison them, but he's just there to keep them busy. Tellus allows Deathlok to shoot from Man-Thing's square, with proper positioning, and also uses his Mind Control to send more people into the Plastic embrace of Man-Thing. Deathlok and Cyborg shoot them to pieces while they try to escape Man-Thing, who saves all his actions to Regenerate. As long as you keep everybody within 4 of Tellus (no need to be within 4 of each other), your ranged attackers have huge coverage, and Cyborg has even greater due to his trait. Accept that Man-Thing will die, but he's just there to keep opponents busy for as long as possible. Don't forget that Plasticity will stop people from flying over him, or punching him with Hypersonic. CapnAndy posted:Explain to me how Bizarro is not a white guy. Do you not use our Earth colors?

My Magic-Centric LGS with a few Heroclix things pulled a brick of Fear Itself out of somewhere and we had a midnight four-man sealed event, 300pts, two packs each. Opened my first pack, saw nothing exciting. Opened my second pack, and I found the one figure I wanted/cared about from the set:  KUURTH Ended up with a 300pt exact team of Kuurth, Sin, and a Thule Society Priest. Game one was against someone who decided to go balls-to-the-wall and field 300pt Nul. I hit him with a heavy object before he hit me with one and he failed his impervious roll, he whiffed back at me, gg. Second/final round was against a somewhat scary team of Mighty Spiderman, Mighty Dr. Strange, and an Asgardian Troll. The first two or three turns consisted of him setting up a firing line and me using Kuurth to juggle objects around to form Stealth line of fire protection with the Priest and (after taking a small shot) Sin. Once everything was in position, Sin outwit Spiderman's super senses and landed a (Hydra-assisted from the Thule Priest's wildcard) lucky knockback shot, moving him out of the way for Kuurth to pick up a heavy, charge up, and bop Dr. Strange on the head (despite a super senses and prob roll) for exactly his entire life. Kuurth and Spiderman punched at each other for awhile with occasional potshots and constant outwitting from Sin while the Priest pushed himself to his Prob click. Game ended when I shot the Troll to death and Kuurth rammed Spiderman through a pillar for his final click (Which, as it turns out, I couldn't actually do since he had flying but the game was decided at that point and my opponent conceded) carries the day.

Played in 2 AVX Month 4's this weekend First was 500 points constructed, must have 50% from your starter I ran Iron Pharaoh TT Jinx CW Scarlet Witch Thor at 100 Astral Doc AVX witch at 150 Full power plant Lost to a fantomex team in the finale. Should have positioned blocking better via the matter rearranger ring and I could have blocked all LOF shots on pharaoh. Also got threatened and a local rear end in a top hat maybe banned so lovely night overall. Today was 500 constructed. I ran the same team as above except I dropped witch for brother voodoo and Lucy Lane. The turnout here is a dad and son who are very bad and one other good player. Basically whichever one of us won would take the tournament. He ran Silver Centurion with full gauntlet Extremis Tony Stark 2x TT Jinx CW Witch at 50 AVX Witch at 100 This was an ultra cautious game as I'd beaten a similar team the previous month by melting his gauntlet. He was very determined not to allow a repeat. What won me the game was putting the force blast ring on the astral doc, free moving next to centurion and force blasting him into a wall. Voodoo was then able to MC as he was off shape change and Thor hit for 2 more. He ended up back on shape change and iron pharaoh couldn't follow up. He used one of his 2 Torpedo's to KO voodoo and I lost the astral doc to his support crew. I then picked off his support with pharaoh and Thor while making him run his centurion around to try and hit godhood or other pick a power click to get Regen. I took out his 100 point witch and 2 jinx's. He hit godhood with his last action as time cleared. Thor was in range for a RS though and I had the disintegration ring on him so for fun I did the next move and roll to see what would happen which was a RS PW on his centurion and 50 point witch. I rolled double 5's so I would have melted the gauntlet and won eventually. I got my cyclops though and did not get threatened so a much better day

drat, I don't think I've ever seen somebody actually get banned from a venue, that sounds pretty intense. Had my first AvX this weekend too; 500 constructed, must have a faction specific theme team, must use one starter fig, Phoenix force is the only allowed resource. Went ahead with: PF Emma w/Magik PF Namor w/Emma WatX Hope AvX Magik PF w/three Shards Damaged Warbot Round One went beautifully; despite Emma losing Power Cosmic and missing her opening salvo, she followed up with a hit that blasted down 300 Iron Man and KO'd Victoria Hand (knocked her into a crater with doubles for two clicks up the PF) and Namor following up to KO Iron Man. He just had Tigra and Witch left and it was just mopping up at that point. Round two was against Sentry/Void, and he surprisingly shut off Power cosmic which wound up helping me more than him as a quick KO of Witch left me with Outwit for both Emma and Namor. Despite that I could never keep him pinned down long enough to hammer away and Donald Blake was the only other KO that game. Round three basically didn't matter as my opponent and I were both nearly 400 points under the other 2-0s and my faction was losing (dumb people signing up for X-Men and then never actually showing up  ) so I went balls out and played way more aggressively than usual. Unfortunately it didn't work out for me; a TK/RS for Emma to Mind Control Xavier, Spidey, & Iron Fist first wavered when Xavier got 6 on Shape Change forcing me to target Witch, whose forced reroll defense turned a crit hit into a 3. After that I could never catch up as he had a four man PF with Colossus on the base meaning he had four figures with Invul and three Mystics.Oh well, the other two venues are sealed so I don't need to fret with team building for this anymore. It is kind of annoying that Danger and Magik are facing odd directions on the TB though. Also found out how this venue will be doing WoL: $20 for a one booster partial constructed, or $35 for a two booster sealed if 20 people commit, then $5 constructed for the last two months. It's still a horrible amount of money but I doubt any venue will have a better deal. Sanschel fucked around with this message at 03:38 on Apr 14, 2014 |

I wish it was a more exciting story then dude is gigantic rear end in a top hat that comes to clix event to basically pick fights for how worthless his own life is. Stands up and gets in my face when I ask him not to blow hookah smoke in my face. Is thrown out by judge and entire store goes outside to tell him to gently caress off while I am kept inside and calmed down. Not a good person, not a good night. I did tell him I would punch him right in his face if he ever did that to me again. I may not have helped. I was pissed.

Hilariously, it's an e-hookah. Complete with distracting blue light and scented water vapor he gets to puff in your face and feel all superior about it. ...he also threatened to pick a fight with me like two or three weeks ago, but the judge at that venue is his buddy or something.

That's definitely the point where I'd take it beyond "talk to the judge" and go straight to both the venue AND the cops. For liability reasons, no store owner in his right mind would want to keep a guy around if they're on actual notice he may pick a fight there.

If I owned the place and was aware of someone behaving in a threatening manner to others, that person would be out on his rear end in a heartbeat. If the store knows about it, does nothing, and something happens then the store's on the hook too for not trying to prevent harm to someone on the premises. Either the owner doesn't know that or he doesn't know what's going on. If the latter, he needs to be told and that employee gets a talking-to. If the former, he needs to be made aware of the meanings of the phrases "premises liability" and "vicarious liability."

Playing in this on Friday at local comic book store. Whole Lotta Love – 600 point game –Silver Age. You must have one comic book couple on your team. I have no idea what silver age is.

At ours it's basically all sets with no feats, battlefield conditions, standalone non-horde bystander tokens, resources, or character bases larger than 2x2. At yours I doubt it's quite the same. One common format I've heard for Silver Age is "all carded figures are legal."

Edit: You may have noticed many shops sell Marquee figures for $1.99 as well. Many sets had a figure that was only available this way - Man of Steel has a 350-point Superman, Chaos War had Vision, and Galactic Guardians had Supernova.

Red posted:Two questions: 1. As long as you got the card for the figure then you've got everything he comes with. Characters that generate pogs just have it printed on the back of their card, but you can usually print them out from the Print & Play section in the Downloads on Heroclix.com 2. The few times I've done painting I've gone to Games Workshop. Their paint's probably a little more expensive but they have a huge range of colors that work well with superhero costumes and mix well together. I've just got a tiny little brush since I use it almost exclusively for infrequent wet brush touch-up.
