Game Night: Friday February 9th, 2007

For those of you in our gaming group, I will be hosting a Heroclix game tomorrow night at my house, approximately 1900 hours MST.

I know Beau can't make it due to his vacation plans, and Dustin may have other plans, but I hope the rest of you are able to attend.

Game 1 will be "Marvel Ultimate Alliance" in which only characters from the kick-ass game are to be used to construct your teams. There are about 140 characters in the game, so you shouldn't have any problems here. For a list of the characters see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel:_Ultimate_Alliance

Build total: 500 points. Break out your Ultimate Thor if you've got him!



For the second game, let's just do an easy 300 point open build. No character over 100 points. Let's give a few of our lower-point figures some game time! (Maybe I'll build a team of Elektras and Hand Ninjas! No, seriously.)

I'll email everyone to give you a head's up.

Updated Infinity Gauntlet Thanos

As promised in an earlier post, here are the stats I designed for a better version of the Infinity Gauntlet wielding Titan Thanos:



I inserted this dial into an extra Infinity Gauntlet Thanos. I kept the outer dial stats the same (10 Range, 2 Lightning Bolts), but added the Power Cosmic Team Ability and gave him a point value of 388 - perfect for the Automatic Regeneration Feat Card to round him off to an even 400 points!



Teamed up with my custom Death figure, they comprise a very deadly 800 point team.

I'll admit, I originally believed that the Supernova version of Thanos was supposed to represent him with the Infinity Gauntlet. I was thrown by the Power Cosmic Team Ability, the fact he's a grounded character (I don't think we saw him fly at any time during the Infinity Gauntlet series), that the Supernova map looks an awful lot like his deep space base of operations (complete with the temple he constructed for his mistress, Death) and that I thought Wizkids declared the inspiration for this expansion set as being from the Infinity Gauntlet, among others (it turns out they said "Infinity War" not "Infinity Gauntlet.")



Having said all that, my custom Gauntlet-wielding Thanos still kicks ass.

All I need to do now is paint the gems onto his glove.
