Masters of Evil New and Improved - March 13, 2006

Another change that will become tournament legal after the release of the X-Men Danger Room game is the modification to the Masters of Evil Team Ability. This change will be included in the new, updated Heroclix rulebook that will also be available with the Danger Room game making it a must have for any Heroclix fan. Here's a look at the new TA that will make those MoE's a little bit tougher to take down.

MASTERS OF EVIL ™ A Masters of Evil team member may be given an action when it has two action tokens on it. If it does, do not place an action token on the team member after the action resolves; instead, deal it 1 unavoidable damage. At the end of your turn, do not remove action tokens from a member of this team that has been given an action during that turn.

Combat Reflexes Becomes Useful - March 13, 2006

Co-inciding with the release of WizKids X-Men Danger Room for Heroclix is a modification to the COMBAT REFLEXES power. Since its inclusion to the game, this power has been less than useful most of the time. Well, no more as the power has received an definite upgrade that will see players digging through their collections for those figs with the formerly useless CR power. Here's how the new version of the power reads:

COMBAT REFLEXES (optional): Modify this character's defense value by + 2 against close combat attacks. This character may choose tobe knocked back by any attack from which it takes damage. Knockback damage dealt to this character is reduced to 0.

DC Giants Alloy Preview - January 14, 2006

Wizkids has released the next preview in the Giants Collector's set - Alloy! Alloy, from the Kingdom Come storyline, weighs in at 114 points and has an interesting dial. Loaded up front with Charge and Super Strength the defense power of Barrier is a different combination. Getting that early hit in will be important but once Alloy takes a little damage, he's knocked onto a Flurry attack with Super Strength along with Invulnerability. That should allow Alloy to remain in play for a bit to wreck havoc. Late dial Blades, Fangs and Claws along with Perplex should make Alloy a figure to watch out for. To take a closer look at the sculpt as well as details on Alloy's dial, click HERE to go to the WizKids site.
