Apocalypse & the Four Horsemen!

[A_Higher_Level]

Now, you may know that WizKids made four ultra rare unique mounted figures for their MageKnight series. They were called the Four Horsemen. Well, my question today is, what if they should make them for their Marvel HeroClix line?

We all know the great immortal Apocalypse presides over the Four Horsemen in the comic series. He stays out with them somewhere in space, and they never bother coming to Earth until the entire world is at war! If not, Apocalypse himself is usually working in the shadows to create some catastrophic event where the end result is only the strong would survive. However, we already know that Apocalypse never changed. He's always the same as he ever was, but sadly his Four Horsemen have been traded out more than a bucketful of rookie HeroClix.

Who do you think the best of the Four Horsemen would be? So far, I've at least been able to come up with their team ability.
--Four Horsemen: All team members stay unplayable, off the map, until the first successful attack is made. Then all members are placed on the board in their starting area.--

Well the first player (who's technically not a Horseman) is Apocalpse. His powers normally include Shapechange, Plasticity, Invulnerability, Outwit, Energy Explosion, and Regeneration

That just leaves the other four possible players (and powers) for each of the following members. Who would you pick?

Famine
Death
Pestilence
War

ahhh, but would death be archangel, or the original ones which all had similar costumes? i remember war looked like Moe on steroids with that pumpkin pie haircutted freak haircut!

[LurkMaster2000]

i personally, as a collector, would be POed if i had to try and get each of the horsemen for $1000 or more each.

i think archangel was a pretty well known member of the horsemen. and i believe wolverine was a member as well, right? if marvel does agree to pull this stunt, you can bet these two will be in there.

but there goes the completist's dream. :(

[ANTIPASTA]

for a while (two issues) Hulk was the horseman for war. That would be wicked sweet

[Thunderbolts]

You know, given how much he's demanded by the fans, I bet the rarest, hardest to find figure ever ends up being Deadpool.

BAH! Gimme my Merc.

[DarthZaius]

WOOOOOOO!!! FOUR HORSEMEN BABY!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!

Sorry for being a snapperhead. Couldn't resist.

wolverine was the angel of death after archangel "quit" . It was a repayment for giving wolvie his adamantium skeleton back.

that's fine and all but are you going to give V Dr.Doom and Nightcrawler to me or not ?!

[malchyor]

yeah, well or in the age of apokolips storyline, you'd have mr.sinister, the dark beast, cyclopse and holocaust (and then there's that funky Void guy....but then we'd have 5 hoursemen...)
and then havok took over after cyclops ran away.

really, i'd love to see an age of apokolips booster. it'd be great:

dazzler (will illusions)
rouge (with magneto's powers)
magneto (with teleport)
big strong guy
dark beast
good sabertooth
morph
blink
iceman (as the ice elemental)
jamie madrox (as those apokolips guards)
the bald bishop
gambit's thief ring
juggernaut (as a monk)
nightcrawler (who could teleport people's heads off....)
nate grey


the list just goes on and on. oh....people can dream i guess.

JEEEEEEESUS save us from such a propisition.i hope to hell that wizkids hears this loud and clear.no frelling ultra rares.now with that said expect these fig's to ship in 3-6 months.BAH,i know it's a "collectable" minatures game but dam that river,isn't paying 100 calms for ole bruce banner bad enough without having to face every 12 year old with daddies deep pockets with their horde of uniques uber rares down at the game shop or convention.1000 bucks for a lil plastic figure.madness!and a pretty good reason for class envy.power to the people and stuff like that while i put my head in my hands and weep like a little gurl.C'est La Vie!:mad:

If Wizkids ever does port over something from MK to HC I sure hope it would be one of the following instead:

1) 3D terrain/tiles like the castle pieces or the new dungeon tiles!

2) Mounted figs

3) Multi Dial Figures (read: Mo' betterer way to represent Galactus and other Uber powered characters)

-1) The Danger-Room in 3D, hmm...

-2) And who the heck is mounted in HeroClix? Ghost Rider?!?

-3) *Voice of Galactus* "My arse has it's own powers and must be defeated seperately! Behold, the TRUE power of Energy Explosion & Impervious!!!"

1) Or the Avengers Mansion... or the Four's Freedom Plaza... or... (you get the point! ;))

2) Why not? As someone pointed out he isn't called Ghost Rider for nothing. Plus the "dual base" could work for some larger characters or even oddballs like the Wonder Twins! :p

3) LOL! Good one!

This game rocks because deep pockets can't help you much (points system) but if they DID make SUPER rare 4 generic horsemen, not the wolvie, angel ones I would only care if they were super powerful too. Let the suckers pay 1000 bucks for em!

As for 3-d terrain, etc, THAT would rock. I really want a 3-d map....

that and duel dialed figs....not sure how it works....but i imagine galactuses head, body and arms are all separate and can be 'killed' separately? can they be ressurected?

[Kissoon]

Sorry to be a nitpicker but the original four horsemen during the Age of Apocalypse were Holocaust, Sinister, Abyss, and Mikhail Rasputin...

I'd enjoy seeing an expansion based on Marvel other-verses. AoA, What If?, etc. Could definitely be cool.

I would also like to see some Amalgam stuff

But I think Dark Claw has the potential to be one of the most broken figures, Have a simalar Batman team ability, BCF, Willpower, Toughness, Battle Fury, Incapacitate, Smoke Cloud, Outwit, Leap/Climb, Close Combat Expert, Regeneration, Could even throw in Flurry or Charge (can you imagine a Charge, BCF, AND Willpower combo or a Flurry, BCF and Willpower?)

[Melkoloran]

Are there enough slots for all of that? Yeesh!

[Taltos]

The first group:
Plague <Morlock>
Famine <Unknown other than young girl>
War
Death <Angel>

Hulk for a time was War.

Second set
Caliban <Pestlience>
Warbird <not avenger but Shiar was war>
Ahab <Famine>
Wolverine <Death>

In x-men Unlimited
Eric the Red <Death>

Do not ask me to get into the AoA world

Team Ability = Stealth
Movement = Charge/Flurry
Attack = BCF
Defence = Willpower
Damage = CCE (optional, would allow for a lower damage number to keep some cost down, and back up for outwitters)

After all that, and you're worried about the keeping the cost low?!?
