My pre-release team




When placing this team togeather all I could think of I just want to have fun. I played the people I wanted to play. I didn't care if I got totally smoked or not. I did have some fun with these guy's. I figured a 3 man team would be pretty rare. I was wrong as a matter of fact a 2 figure team won the entire tournament. In the second round I got smoked by vet Hyperion and a vet night Thrasher. I had fun anyway. These events are meant to get people togeather and to have fun with it. Their are always people going to these things just to win the prizes just ignore it and have fun that is the point of this game I beleive anyway.

my pulls for this weeknds pre-release


There are some figs missing from this picture however this is basically all of my pulls from 3 boosters. I had allot of fun playing in this pre-release. I guess the random figure makes it fun and the fact that this time most of the figures have not yet been posted on the wizkids site made it even more fun. Usually guy's have the dial memorized well they would have had to spend a tone of time finding info on these dial and then since most are unofficial how do you know you can trust most of the info out their. Anyway the 300 point format for this tourney was a little small for all the high point figures in this set. The low point figures did not seem to be very low point at all. The lowest point figure I pulled was 30 points I think. Anyway allot of fun everyone should attend one of these I highly recommend it.

Supernove pre-release surpirse




Just to give everyone an idea of how raer these are going to be. There was a total of 32 people at our pre-release. Their was 2 zombie figures pulled. 32 people x 3 boosters per person. The hulk figure looks great his sculpt really looks great if I could afford one I would definately by one. However I could just imagine how expensive these will be on ebay. This heroclix/horrorclix has some pretty kewl stats like steal energy to keep hime alive. I'm not a fan of the Horroclix line at all but if it's responsible for bringing out the zombies than how can you dislike this idea. I just love it I wish however they would not have brought them out in this type of limited forum like they have. This will definately make it impossible for most to collect. This is my only complaint about this. Now the spider-man at only 4 point no idea how much action this figure is going to see. I did not get a chance to look at the dial at all. I'm just greatfull the kid let me take these pictures. I hope you all enjoy this article. Thanks for reading.

sinister wolverine unique figure



I just love this sculpt. This version of wolverine is very tempting to play him allot. Not like icons superman that figure can just descimate teams. However this wolverine can create tons of havoc and man he makes the part look good. He makes the debate a difficult one for what figure is the best heroclix wolverine version. I think he's definately the best wolverine sculpt period. Let me know what you think. Love to hear from you.

psylocke armor wars vet review



This is the latest version of the comic character Psylocke. When this set was initially released allot of people looked at her and said yaw she's ok tried to play her a couple of time and then gave up. The fact that she is stealthy is good with incapacitate and exploit weakness.
This combination is nice as long as she is in hindering a pretty sick piece. However with the new rule changes that arrived with the release of sinister set. This piece has come much closer to being a main stay on the tournament seen. See with the stealth incapacitate and exploit she was a good piece maybe still a high point total. However this is mainly I think because he critical mass version is so much cheaper similar dial but instead of incapacitate she has blades claws. When the change was made to the combat reflexes rule. To add 2 to the figures defense from close combat attacks. What this does now is gives her a 19 defense from close combat attacks and if she remains in hindering you will not be able to range attack her at all. I'm dying to use this piece in a tournament can't wait to do it. Stick a stunning blow feat on her that makes her even meaner for only 10 more points. In contact with oracle for 10 more points, and maybe ambush for 5 more. You have a very good 100 point version of Psylocke a main piece on a team maybe not but as a support piece for a 400 or 500 point team I think she can be deadly. Especially when paired with a mind controller. You mind control veteran icons superman. Hypersonic attacks one of his own teammates hits them for 7 damage. Then you end his move in front of vet psylocke with the feats. You incapacitate him with stunning blow he will take the full damage because of the exploit weakness. If you’re feeling lucky you can in contact up her damage to 4 with the exploit and a token. This gives all your other teammates the rest of the turn to take a swing at him. Then because of the tokens on sup's you will have an entire second turn to hit this big behemoth of a character. This should either help you destroy this big guy or effectively neuter him. Either way a sick combination. Please feel free to leave any comments at all. I look forward to hearing anything at all on this topic.
