Yes, I said HeroClix. See, a friend of mine, Fred, is really into the game and has been helping me acquire models to play. He&#8217;s invited me to the local comic shop&#8217;s (Downtown Comics &#8211; West) HeroClix tournaments many times, but I never felt comfortable enough with the rules to join in. This weekend&#8217;s tournament was 2,000 points, so we were sure to see a lot of the &#8216;broken&#8217; colossals. It also didn&#8217;t bode well that there is currently no retired list since NECA took over the game. I had no experience with these things and I was looking to just get to play versus new people and make some friends. Fred was kind enough to lend me a number of models to fill out the 2,000 points and make an Asgardian team as I had nothing even close.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what I used:</p>
<p><span id="more-1059"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Thor&#8217;s Mighty Chariot</li>
<li>The Mighty Thor</li>
<li>Thor</li>
<li>Heimdall</li>
<li>Balder</li>
<li>Hogun</li>
<li>Fandral</li>
<li>Sif</li>
<li>Spider-Man (Thor version)</li>
<li>Valkyrie (on foot)</li>
<li>Enchantress</li>
<li>Beta Ray Bill</li>
</ul>
<p>My first game was against a guy named Rich. He was also playing an Asgardian team. I don&#8217;t know if it was my slow playing, from lack of understanding of the rules or what, but he killed Beta Ray Bill while I killed an Asgardian Warrior. He won that one.</p>
<p>The second game was against Charles, who apparently didn&#8217;t have enough models for 2,000 points and only played 873 points. His first opponent played his full 2,000 points against him and won pretty easily. I decided to make it more fair and reduce my list down to his point level. I ran Thor&#8217;s Mighty Chariot, Balder, Enchantress and Fandral. He had Thor&#8217;s Mighty chariot, Ragnarok Surtur and Fenris Wolf. I ended up winning that one by killing everyone on his team. It didn&#8217;t help that in two consecutive turns the Surtur rolled a critical failure.</p>
<p>The third game was against Mark(?), who was running the tournament. He ran The Specter and Hela. It was definitely an uphill battle for me. I did end up losing, but I felt pretty good about damaging the Specter a couple of times and killing Hela outright with Heimdall and Balder.</p>
<p>In the end, I walked out with a new map and a Runaways team ability card. Everyone there was really cool and playing the game was a ton of fun. Yeah, it&#8217;s a &#8216;clix&#8217; game, which a lot of serious mini gamers look down on, but it is still a decent fun game. I look forward to playing in future tournaments at lower point levels, where I can use all my own minis.</p>
