February 6th, 11:00am

500pt Brawl
Unrestricted
10% feat cap

This week's tournament is a brawl format. That means no range attacks is allowed. This also means no TK'ing objects and no throwing objects. Running Shot will be replaced with Charge, Psychic Blast is replaced with Exploit Weakness, and Range Combat Expert is replaced with Close Combat Expert.

All range based powers are still valid, as long as it doesn't damage figures from range. So powers like Probability Control and Outwit can still be used.

Note: Yes I know it may not make sense for some characters to go from range attacks to close attacks [like going from RCE to CCE], but it's a format I wanna try out without neutering a lot of other figures.

The typical Bizarro tournament. Every figure starts at its last click. When the figure takes damage, click counter-clockwise, and clockwise when the figured is healed.

Sorry if this post is late. The format for March 6th, 2010 is:

Mjolnir Tournament:

800 pts. unrestricted
Maximum of 20 points worth of feats are allowed.

Rules for the Mjolnir hammer has been changed to the following:
Mjolnir must start in the middle of the map, and does not count towards the 6 objects in a game. A figure can attempt to carry the hammer only once per game. If the figure fails to carry the hammer, they cannot attempt to carry it again. If they succeed in carrying the hammer, they become the 'wielder'. If a wielder is KO'd, the hammer is placed where the figure was KO'd.

To attempt to pick up the hammer, a figure must be on top of the object. A figure can attempt to become a wielder as a free action, but cannot use this free action while in the middle of using a move or power action. To pick up the hammer a figure must successfully roll the following result on a d6 [this roll cannot be re-rolled]:

Figures with the name Odin needs to roll a 2 or better
Figures with the name Thor, Beta Ray Bill, or Thunderstrike needs to roll a 3 or better
Figures with the name Loki, Captain America, Awesome Android, Wonder Woman, Superman, or Deadpool needs to roll a 4 or better
Figures with the 'Asgardian' and 'Diety' keyword needs to roll a 5 or better
All other figures needs to roll a 6

Becoming a wielder will give the following abilities:

A wielder will gain flight, Quake, and Energy Explosion with a range of 6 [if the figures range is less than 6]. Modify the wielder's attack and damage by +2 if the wielder's base damage is 3 or less. Otherwise modify the wielder's attack and damage by +1 if the wielder's base damage is 4 or more.

Modify the wielder's attack and damage to an additional +1 if the wielder is attacking a figure with the 'Monster' keyword.

A wielder's damage cannot be reduced below 1, except if the wielder is using Quake, Poison, or Energy Explosion.

The player who KO's a wielder gains an additional 50 KO points for every 150 points [rounded up] of the wielder's point cost.

No battlefield conditions allowed

The player who loses initiative roll can decide whether to play their built team or the opponent's built team for the game.

The next tournament has been postponed for a week because The Realm is having a Magic pre-release on the 17th. As a result, the next tournament will be on the 24th at 11:00am.

Since The Brave and the Bold is released next week, this tournament will be a 300pts. sealed tournament.

Depending on the allocation of prizes, I may hand out more prizes to more people other the usual 1st and 2nd place winners.

W10002

04/25/2010, 02:45

The format of the next tournament is up in the first post. We're going back with pre-NAAT and pre-FCCF rules, as well as getting rid of the rule of 3 [except Perplex will scale back a bit as a result].

Finally remembered my password for HCRealms and now I can participate on this website. So, yeah, The Realm is a really good place to play. At average, we get about 5 to 6 players. A pretty chill place to play. I play pretty fun teams like Marvel Zombies and this past Saturday I played COH/COV team. After FCBD, we might get more players, hopefully.

05/04/2010, 17:45

The next HeroClix tournament format has been posted.

600 pts. Unrestricted

To celebrate The Brave and the Bold, we're doing a team-up tournament. The tournament should represent two different teams joining forces, no matter how unlikely it is.

Build two 300 pts. team. Each figure in the 300 pts. team must share the same keyword or team symbol [with the exception of Mystics], minimum 2 figures in each 300 pts. team. For example, one 300 pts. team could share the keyword X-Men, while the other 300 pts. team could all have the Calculator Team symbol.

Combined the two 300 pts. team to make a 600 pts. team. All 600 pts. teams can use keyword bonuses [cancelling a Battlefield Condition, a re-roll for every 2 figures, and +1 for each figure in the initiative roll].

W10002

05/27/2010, 11:05

I just updated the format for the next HeroClix tournament. The format will be:

300 pts. Unrestricted

No feats

No Battlefield Condition

Generic Tournament

Build a 300 pts. team consisting of only all generics that share the same keyword. A generic is a non-named figure, such as Henchmen, Rock Troll, etc.

You may have only one named non-generic figure act as the leader of the team as long as the figure shares the same keyword as the rest of the team. This figure cannot be more than 1/2 the build total.

An example of a team for this tournament could be Nick Fury and a group of SHIELD agents. Or a team of Rock Trolls with Ulik.

Saturday, June 19th

One figure is not more than 100 pts.
One figure is not more than 150 pts.
One figure is not more than 200 pts.

Victory points is given based on number of figures KO'd instead of the total points of KO'd figures.

You might want to clarify that you must have one figure for each point range. Otherwise I could bring one character that cost less then 50 pts. to satisfy all of those requirements and the other 4 could be 300+...

Here is my suggested wording

Unrestricted

No feats

No Battlefield Condition

Highlander Rule

No Colossal Figures

Bring any 5 figures regardless of build total as long as the following requirements are met -

Figure one is not more than 50 pts.
Figure two is not more than 100 pts.
Figure three is not more than 150 pts.
Figure four is not more than 200 pts.

Next tournament is the Blackest Night Tournament. It will be held on July 17th instead of this Saturday, due to the 4th of July weekend.

There will be an entry fee for this tournament. The fee will be $5. However, the 1st place prize will be the set of all 8 Lanterns, and there should be enough prizes so that everyone walks away with at least something.

Here is the format. If anyone has any questions on the format, feel free to post here or PM me.

Blackest Night Tournament

7/17/2010

Starts at 11:00am

$5 Entry Fee. The Entry Fee can be waived if a HeroClix Booster is purchased.

Prizes available for all players

1st Place Prize: Full set to Lanterns [including the Black Lantern]

700 pts.

Unrestricted - DC Only

No Colossal Figures

Highlander Rule in effect

No Feats or Battlefield conditions

Alternate Team Abilities are fine

At the beginning of each game, a random Battlefield Condition will be given to the players. This cannot be cancelled or ignored.

Then each player will draw a single die from a bag. Each die will have a Lantern symbol [such as Green Lantern, Black Lantern, etc]. The player can then assign one character on their team to be a ring-bearer of that Lantern. The ring-bearer cannot have a Lantern Corps. Keyword, such as Sinestro Corp., Black Lantern Corps., Green Lantern Corps., etc. The chosen ring-bearer will gain powers based on the ring they are using. This power cannot be countered.

The following powers are applied for each Lantern:

Green Lantern - The figure gains Telekenesis. Whenever a second action token is placed on the figure, if the figure would take pushing damage, you may instead heal 1 damage.

Red Lantern - The figure gains Battle Fury and Flurry. Whenever the figure takes damage from an attack targeting it, the figure gains one rage counter. The figure modifies its damage value by +1 for each rage counter. If the figure is healed of any damage, the figure loses all its rage counters.

Orange Lantern - The figure gains Poison. Whenever the figure deals damage, the figure can copy one standard power that the opposing figure that was dealt damage has. This figure can only copy one standard power at a time. The figure can use the power until it deals damage again or is dealt damage.

Yellow Lantern - At the beginning of the game, roll a single die. On a result of a 1-3 the figure gains Exploit Weakness. On a result of a 4-6 the figure gains Psychic Blast. If the figure gains Psychic Blast, their range becomes a 6 if their range is less than 6.

Blue Lantern - The figure gains Probability Control and Enhancement. The figure can use Perplex, but can only target other friendly characters.

Indigo Tribe - The figure can use Support. When it does, its attack value becomes 12.

Violet Lantern - The figure must be female. The figure gains Incapacitate and Mind Control. When the figure uses Mind Control, the figure does not take damage when targeting male characters.

Black Lantern - Whenever an opposing character is KO'd within 4 squares of this figure, you may heal the figure 1 damage.

Figures with a Lantern Corps keyword gains extra powers that cannot be countered. The following powers are applied for each keyword:

Green Lantern Corps - The figure gains Indominable and Energy Shield Deflection

Red Lantern Corps - The figure can push even if they have two action tokens. After the action, the figure takes a penetrating damage.

Orange Lantern Corps - When using Poison, target characters two squares away which this figure has line of figure to are considered adjacent. Damage from Poison cannot be reduced.

Sinestro Corps - Modify Attack Values by +2

Blue Lantern Corps - The figure gains Barrier and Telekenesis.

Indigo Tribe - When using Support, do not subtract from the result of a Support roll.

Violet Lantern Corps - The figure gains Incapacitate. When the character makes a successful attack using Incapacitate, in addition to the normal effect of Incapacitate the character may deal damage equal to its unmodified damage value.

Black Lantern Corps - When the figure deals damage to an opposing character, roll a die. On a result of a 5-6, heal the figure 1 damage.

Note: For this tournament, figures named Star Sapphire will have the 'Violet Lantern Corps' keyword

Posted a question, for the judge of this event on the other thread.

W10002

07/16/2010, 11:57

Just a reminder, tomorrow is the Blackest Night Tournament. It's going to have a $5 entry fee [or waived if you buy a booster], but everyone will walk away with something.

I've also added the formats for the tournaments in August. The first tournament is in preparation for the Scott Pilgrim movie that will be released the week after [although the last volume will be released on 7/20].

The 2nd format should probably be delayed until the Jonah Hex Battle Pack is out, because it's a "Western Shoot-out" scenario. But I'd figure I'll end the last Brave and the Bold tournament with the opposite of our Brawler tournament we had as the first tourney for Hammer of Thor.

Format:

League of Evil Exes

8/7/2010

Starts at 11:00am

500 pts.

10% cap on Feats

It's the League of 7 Evil Exes! Make a team consisting of 7 villains. There will be 7 actions per turn instead of 5. The highlander rule will be in affect [including for generics]. No two figures can be the same character.

Format:

Western Shoot-out

8/21/2010

Starts at 11:00am

400 pts.

10% cap on Feats

It's a shoot-out scenario. Complete opposite of the Brawler scenario we started this year with, so this tournament is all about range. Every figure in the team must have a minimum range of 4. When making a range attack, hindering terrain does not affect line of fire. When making a close combat attack, the defending figure adds +2 to their defense value.

W10002

07/30/2010, 23:51

The format for the next HeroClix tournament will be based on Scott Pilgrim. The prize will be a copy of Vol. 6 of Scott Pilgrim.

Our next two HeroClix tournament has been scheduled.

The next tournament will be on Sept. 18 and will be the Sealed event for Web of Spider-Man. I'm going to try to make the scenarios of tournaments up until the next DC set be Spider-Man based.

Anyways, here's the format for the next few Spider-Man tournaments:

Web of Spider-Man Sealed

9/18/2010

Starts at 11:00am

Entry fee: $25

This is the sealed tournament for Web of Spider-Man. $25 entry fee for two boosters. Everyone will have 20 minutes to build their teams, and 10 minutes in-between rounds for players to change their teams with what they pulled if they want. Prizes include figures from the Prize Kit, as well as additional boosters.

Clone Saga

10/2/2010

Starts at 11:00am

400 pts.

10% of feats allowed

Unrestricted format

No Battlefield Conditions

The team build must consist of different figures of the same character. The team must have a minimum of 2 figures.

For example, a team can be made completely of only Spider-Man. But you cannot use two of the same Spider-Man. So two IC Veteran Spider-Man is not allowed, but one IC Rookie Spider-Man and one IC Veteran Spider-Man is allowed.

question 1-different names but the same char. are legal? examples: vet Shazam! (Origins) & Wizard Shazam! (BatB)? or Green Scar & Rampaging Hulk.

question 2-can we ignore/break the unique rules for this format? examples: both Ultimate Hulk's or both Ultimate Iron Man's with Iron Man(M&M).

question 3-if the answer to 2 is yes(& I really, really, really hope it is!)-are different universe characters considered the same char? examples:Ultimate Thor, exp Thor(Supernova) & Thor the frog of Thunder BST or Power Cosmic Wolverine(M&M), Days of Future Past Wolverine(FF), Wolverine(WoS), & Weapon X.

question 4-Figs that we know are not the same character, but have the same name will not be legal, correct? examples: Batman (AA) with most any other Batman or Enchantress(DC) & Enchantress(MAVEL).

...maybe the Batman example is a lil confusing, so replace with Green Lantern(Legacy) which is Alan & vet Green Lantern(CD) which is Kyle.

To answer your questions:

1) Yes. You can bring figures with different names, as long as they're the same character.

2) No. You cannot have two of the same figure in your team. So the Unique rule will be upheld. Sorry.

3) Yes, I'll allow this. Although, Thor the Frog is from the 616-Universe, so he counts as regular Thor.

4) While I'll allow the same character from different Universes, I think having like Alan Scott Green Lantern and Kyle Rayner Green Lantern defeats the purpose of the tournament. If the actual character is different, such as GL, or either Enchantress, then it doesn't count. I will count Ben Reilly/Scarlet Spider as Spider-Man/Peter Parker, since they are clones....

I have a couple of questions as well:

1. what is the rule regarding BSTs?
2. what about duos that have different characters. eg. Batman and Catwoman, Batman and Green Arrow, Batman and Robin. Can those be together?

1. No BSTs in this tournament.
2. Duos are fine, as long as one of the character is the same as all the others. So if you're running a Batman team, the duo must include Batman.

I've also added the format for the 2nd tournament in October. It'll be Maximum Carnage themed. A couple of notes regarding this format - I'm trying to have a format where the games are aggro-heavy. As such I've tried to nullify outwit and probability control, and tried to emphasize on having players use aggressive tactics. There will be some surprise announcements for the Maximum Carnage rules on the day of the tournament.

Maximum Carnage

10/16/2010

Starts at 11:00am

500 pts.

No feats or battlefields allowed

Unrestricted. Marvel only.

Entry fee: $5 or a HeroClix Booster

Prizes will include Maximum Carnage Trade Paperback, Amazing Spider-Man #361 (First appearance of Carnage), Spider-Man Unlimited #1 (Part 1 of Maximum Carnage), and Toxin or Venom LE

Bring two teams. One team consisting of only heroes and one of only villains. One player will play the hero team, and the other player will play the villain team. The winner of the initiative roll determines which player plays the hero team, and which player plays the villain team.

Powers and Team abilities cannot be countered. Defense cannot be modified or replaced. Damage dealt from an attack cannot be reduced below 1. Players cannot use Probability Control or any powers that allow re-rolls. When making a range attack, hindering terrain does not affect line of fire.

If the hero team contain a variation of Spider-Man or Venom, every figure in the game can modify their Attack value +1. If the team consists of both Spider-Man and Venom, both Spider-Man and Venom gains Willpower.

If the villain team contains Carnage, every figure in the game can modify their Damage +1.

W10002

09/18/2010, 11:20

2) No. You cannot have two of the same figure in your team. So the Unique rule will be upheld. Sorry.

I just figured out that I have had a misunderstanding of the unique rules for a long, long time. I thought figs, were unique by name. Period. Regardless of set. After being a bit confused, as to why you would not suspend the unique rule for this event. I reviewed the unique rules & realized that they are only unique if the name & set # match. What a Dumb$*#@, I am!!!... There for no needed to circumvent the unique rule. So, unique Ultimate Hulk(Avengers) & unique Ultimate Hulk(Ultimates) is completely legal, right?

I never meant 2 copies of the same unique-when i spoke of both ultimate Hulks or both ultimate Iron Mans, I meant one from Avengers set & one from Ultimates set.

sorry if my ignorance created confusion-see my previous post.

Sorry, I misread it. It's completely fine to use different uniques of the same figure if it's from different sets. So Ultimate Iron Man from Ultimates can be paired with the one from Avengers.

Powers and Team abilities cannot be countered. Defense cannot be modified or replaced. Damage dealt from an attack cannot be reduced below 1. Players cannot use Probability Control or any powers that allow re-rolls. When making a range attack, hindering terrain does not affect line of fire.

So If I have someone with Stealth in Hindering terrain line of fire is not blocked? Just need to double check that for the tourney.

Yes, line of fire is not blocked when someone has stealth in hindering terrain, because line of fire ignores hindering terrain.

I've also added the format for the 2nd tournament in October. It'll be Maximum Carnage themed. A couple of notes regarding this format - I'm trying to have a format where the games are aggro-heavy. As such I've tried to nullify outwit and probability control, and tried to emphasize on having players use aggressive tactics. There will be some surprise announcements for the Maximum Carnage rules on the day of the tournament.

Maximum Carnage

10/16/2010

Starts at 11:00am

500 pts.

No feats or battlefields allowed

Unrestricted. Marvel only.

Will, you may want to delete this post on page 3 for less maintenance and to avoid confusion.

For example, the post on page 1 says no figures above 300 but this one doesn't.

And, just to clarify, since it's "above 300", Iron Man/War Machine (at 300pts) is ok to use right?

Entry fee: $5 or a HeroClix Booster

Prizes will include Maximum Carnage Trade Paperback, Amazing Spider-Man #361 (First appearance of Carnage), Spider-Man Unlimited #1 (Part 1 of Maximum Carnage), and Toxin or Venom LE

Bring two teams. One team consisting of only heroes and one of only villains. One player will play the hero team, and the other player will play the villain team. The winner of the initiative roll determines which player plays the hero team, and which player plays the villain team.

So, who picks what team? Say player A wins the roll, does he get to pick whether to play his Hero or Villain team? Say player A picks, Heroes, does player B then have to use player B's Villain team?

Powers and Team abilities cannot be countered.

But WS Bullseye still ignores Super Senses and Shape Change?

Defense cannot be modified or replaced.

Combat Reflexes, and ESD are ignored then? So, it's always the printed Defense Value?

If the hero team contain a variation of Spider-Man or Venom, every figure in the game can modify their Attack value +1. If the team consists of both Spider-Man and Venom, both Spider-Man and Venom gains Willpower.

If the villain team contains Carnage, every figure in the game can modify their Damage +1.

Is Venom a Hero? Can't you only be a hero or a villain? What about other ones that were both at one point or another? Isn't there a Juggernaut that's x-men team? And a Catwoman that's bat ally?

To answer your questions:

1) Yes, Iron Man/War Machine is ok, since they are just 300 pts.

2) Whoever wins the initiative rolls [no keyword bonuses for this tournament] will decide which of the two teams they want to play. The other player will have to play the opposite team. So if player A wins initiative and chooses to play their hero team, then player B has to play their villain team.

3) The wording for Bullseye's special power is different. It never says cancelling, it just says that figures being targeted can't use Shape Change or Super Senses. So Bullseye's powers can still be used.

4) Yes, only printed defense are used for this tournament.

5) Yes, Venom [Eddie Brock - not Mac Gargan] can be both a hero and villain. For this tournament's sake, I've given a bonus if a player uses both Venom and Spider-Man on the same team for accuracy of the format. Also, if the iteration of a villain is a hero, such as X-Men Juggernaut, you can use them on the hero team. I'll allow certain figures to be on both hero or villain teams, but you'll have to check with me. Dr. Doom on a hero team will not work, but Deadpool on a villain team is acceptable.

A few more questions:

Powers and Team abilities cannot be countered.

how does this affect Doppelganger whose power states that "the target cannot use team abilities"? It doesn't specifically say that Doppelganger counters team abilities, just that the target cannot use them and in essence ignores them.

If the hero team contain a variation of Spider-Man

Is Peter Parker a variation of Spider-Man? What about Ben Reilly and Scarlet Spider?

or Venom, every figure in the game can modify their Attack value +1. If the team consists of both Spider-Man and Venom, both Spider-Man and Venom gains Willpower.

There are Venoms from Critical Mass, Sinister, Hammer of Thor, and Web of Spiderman. Is it just the Hammer of Thor Venom (Mac) that doesn't satisfy the Venom pre-req?

As for heroes and villains, can you throw someone that's neutral such as a Night Nurse or a U-Men on either team?

1) There's a fine line with countering/cancelling and ignoring. I'm going to rule for this tournament that ignoring is not the same.

2) Yes, Peter Parker is a variation of Spider-Man. I'll also allow Ben Reilly and Scarlet Spider count as Spider-Man.

3) Venom from Hammer of Thor and the Venom LE from Web of Spider-Man can only be used in a villain team. Yeah, I know that he's in Thunderbolts and Dark Avengers, but even then he was never really considered a 'hero'.

4) Night Nurse is a nurse for injured heroes, therefore she's considered a 'hero'. U-Men are actually a villain team during Grant Morrison's run on New X-Men, so they're considered a 'villain'. There's not really any neutral figures that pops in my head. Cops and law enforcements are usually heroes, and henchmen and other criminals are usually villains.

Thanks for the response, Will... a few more questions:

1. Thunderbolt people are considered heroes or villains or both?
2. What about J. Jonah Jameson?
3. Researchers?

1. I apologize if it sounds a little picky when I list which Thunderbolts are considered villains and which are heroes. Based on how they're written, characters like Green Goblin, Bullseye, and Venom are too villainous to be considered heroes. Even if Thunderbolts are considered a "superhero" team. That said, I'll allow the following figures with the Thunderbolt keyword to be on the Hero team and the ones not listed on the villains team -
HAMMER OF THOR
Meteorite
Songbird
Penance

AVENGERS
Citizen V
Hawkeye

SUPERNOVA
Photon

SINISTER
Techno
Fixer
MACH-1
MACH-3
MACH-4
Nighthawk
Kyle Richmond

FANTASTIC FORCES
Hawkeye
Atlas
Jolt
Songbird

CRITICAL MASS
Meteorite

Basically if the member is a villain now in comics, like Speed Demon, Charcoal, etc. then they're a villain.

There is one thing I want to note: I'll allow Meteorite and Fixer to be on the villain team as well.

2. JJ would be considered a villain. You rarely see him support any heroes. Except his son.

3. I'll allow Researchers to be on either hero or villain teams.

hclixinarcadia

10/14/2010, 09:58

... just making sure, Xorn has the X-Men TA and therefore is a hero? Or is he?

edit:

and a couple more questions:

Eddie Brock will fulfill the Venom pre-req? ie if I have Spider-Man and Eddie Brock, then those two have willpower and members of the team get the bonus to their attack?

If Eddie Brock is ok, can he AE to Anti-Venom and still get the bonuses?

with regards to the special surprise that will be revealed at the start of the tournament, it's not something that will cause parts of a team build to be disqualified is it? In other words, if I come up with an all-Guardians of the Galaxy team using the GotG ATA, you won't all of a sudden say no ATAs, leaving me 20 points short.

edit2:

are WoS Symbiotes ok to use as heroes or villains?

The Judas Contract - A Traitor Amongst Us

400 pts.
Unrestricted
No Feats Allowed
Battlefield Conditions Allowed
Highlander Rule
DC only
Minimum 2 figures

Player A chooses a figure from Player B's team to be the "traitor." Then Player B can choose a figure from Player A's team to be the "traitor." Starting at the beginning of the 3rd turn, the "traitor" will be controlled by the opposing player as a part of their force for the duration of the game.

For example: If Player A chooses Terra from Player B's team to be his traitor, then starting at the 3rd turn, Player A controls Terra as a part of their force.

Whoever loses the initiative roll can pick their "traitor" first.

DC 75th Reference: This scenario is based on the Teen Titans story arc, The Judas Contract, where Teen Titans member Terra, who was revealed to be a traitor in earlier stories, ends up betraying the team. It was shocking to readers at first, but later heroes have also turned out to be a traitor, such as Hal Jordan when he became Parallax, or Hank Hall [aka Hawk] when he became Monarch.

10% Feat Cap
No Battlefield Conditions
Highlander Rule
DC only

Once per turn, a player may roll a die. If they roll a 5-6, they can choose a figure on the opposing player's force and cancel every power on that figure's dial as well as their Team Ability for the duration of the turn. If the figure has the Quinessence TA, then only one power on the figure's dial can be cancelled.

If the player has a figure with the League of Assassin's keyword, or has a figure named Batman or Bruce Wayne in their force, they just need to roll a 4-6 to cancel the powers of a figure.

DC 75th Reference: In the 'Tower of Babel' arc, Ra's Al Ghul manages to steal Batman's files on the weaknesses of the JLA and uses it against them. Batman kept secret files on his fellow JLA member's weaknesses due to his paranoia that one day these heroes may turn into a villain. As a result the JLA saw this act as a betrayal and forced him out of the team.

Build either a DC-only 500 pts. team or a Marvel-only 500 pts. team. If you build a DC-only team, you cannot use figures or bystanders from Marvel sets. Vice-versa for Marvel-only teams. Feats and Battlefield conditions can be from any set regardless of teams.

If you play against a player that has a team from the opposite Universe [such as a Marvel-only team when you have a DC-only team], then you can modify your attack by +2 or damage by +1 when attacking an opposing figure. You must choose which value to modify when you declare your attack, but before you roll for the attack.

The Judas Contract - A Traitor Amongst Us

400 pts.
Unrestricted
No Feats Allowed
Battlefield Conditions Allowed
Highlander Rule
DC only
Minimum 2 figures

Player A chooses a figure from Player B's team to be the "traitor." Then Player B can choose a figure from Player A's team to be the "traitor." Starting at the beginning of the 3rd turn, the "traitor" will be controlled by the opposing player as a part of their force for the duration of the game.

For example: If Player A chooses Terra from Player B's team to be his traitor, then starting at the 3rd turn, Player A controls Terra as a part of their force.

Whoever loses the initiative roll can pick their "traitor" first.

That means that figs with two action tokens that are able to continue attacking such as Colossals, figs with Masters of Evil TA, and Reavers ATA will get +1 to attack and damage right?

A question about the bolded part.

If I have a team of three such that a 50 point figure and a 150 point figure are in the 'present', if the 50 point figure is KO'd does that constitute half? Can I then bring in my figure from the future?

One more question Will, GLGF Abin Sur's trait, Passing the Power, states that:

When Abin Sur is KO'd, choose a friendly character that's 150 points or less. For the rest of the game, modify that character's attack and defense values by +1.
Can that +1 to attack and defense be applied to the 'future' character? I suppose yes because both effects happen simultaneously (placing the figure and choosing the friendly character to modify) giving the active player the option as to which one occurs first, right?

Or maybe it's just Roel with his infinite questions that confuses me :P
lol, not infinite; just two or three or four.... but since you mentioned it, I do have another question or two :):
are feats and ATAs counted towards the point value of a figure? for example if the team in the present:
WS Wolvie with X-Force ATA and Vampirism and Contingency Plan = 133
IC V Jean Grey = 50
SV E Sage = 60

Do you have to KO Jean Grey and Sage make it to half?

if you didn't include feats in the calculation it would be:
WS Wolvie = 105
IC V Jean Grey = 50
SV E Sage = 60

you would only need to KO Jean or Sage to make it to half right?

It's half the pts? I took it to be half of the figs-like each fig counts as one

so Jean(KO'd) would only be 33% of your "present" force, rounded up to 35 or 40 = not half.

your first hypothetical-50pt fig (KO'd) & a 150pt fig still standing, but triggers your "future" to arrive-only makes sense to me, if by half- we are taking about the number of figs on the map.

or am I just really confused & should go back read it again?:o

I thought that because it says 'when half... rounded up' then it means points. Same as when floor is defined as 'half has to come from the current set'

oh and by rounded up I took it as:
half of 105+50+60=215 = 107.5
so 50 plus any of the other two will go over 107.5 therefore 50 is rounded up and enough to trigger?

I didn't know he was rounding to the nearest hundred. ala "floor'.

I think it is based on NUMBER of figs in the present...so if you have 3 figs, after 1 is KOed you bring in the future (because out of 3 figs, 1 would be the closest to half, so you round it up). If you still have 4, then after 2 are KOed, you bring in the future. Please correct me if I am wrong...

W10002

05/26/2011, 02:27

I apologize for the confusion regarding the '1/2 of Present Team rounded up'. I should have clarified this.

I initially thought of specifying points, that if 1/2 the Present Team's points rounded up by the nearest 100 would allow the present figure to appear. However, it's a problem if your present team comprised of a high-point figure and a low-point figure. If the low-point figure is KO'd, points wise it may not be 1/2 the Present Team rounded up. Does this mean you wait until all Present Figures are KO'd if we go strictly by points?

Conversely, if we go by number, if 1/2 the Present Team KO'd consists of mainly high-point figures before introducing the Future figure, then it gives the player a huge disadvantage.

In the end, I think I had in mind that the latter may be the best idea. The tournament should be by figure count, not points. So if your present team consists of 5 figures, and 3 are KO'd, that's 1/2 of the Present Team rounded up. It streamlines when the Future figure can appear.

If we go by points, it potentially opens up a lot of can of worms, but also makes it a little too confusing. It means you'll need to keep track of points, and as a result slows down the game considerably. By doing number of figures instead, it makes it easier to keep track of when to bring in the Future figure, and also add a small challenge in your team building, as you'll need to figure out how to build a team where you won't be at a disadvantage regardless on which 1/2 of the Present figures gets KO'd.

tldr: The rounding of 1/2 of the Present Team is by the number of figures, not points.

hclixinarcadia

05/26/2011, 10:56

After a figure is given an action, if the figure has only one token, you may give the figure another action. If you do, give an action token to the figure and deal it penetrating damage. The figure's action tokens cannot be removed until the end of your next turn. Performing 2 actions with the same figure in one turn counts as 3 actions.

I'm also working on scheduling tournaments for next month. Working in securing prizes. The schedule for next month will be different. The tournaments for next month will be on the 3rd and 5th Saturday of July because of the delay of the Captain America set. The first tournament of next month will be the marquee/sealed tournament. The second tournament will be a big Captain America tournament. I'm trying to see if I can get Cap related prizes such as Captain America: Reborn TPB and Captain America #25 [the death of Steve Rogers] signed by Ed Brubaker.

At the beginning of the game, the judge will roll a special die that represents the Cosmic Cube. Each side of the die represents a battlefield condition. The result of the die roll will determine what battlefield condition is in play. This battlefield condition cannot be cancelled. Every 5-15 minutes, the judge will re-roll the die. If the result is different from the previous roll, then a new battlefield condition will be in play.

Bonus - If a player has either a figure named Red Skull or Captain America or Steve Rogers in their force, that figure gains Leadership if they don't possess this power already. If the player makes a successful Leadership roll with Red Skull/Captain America/Steve Rogers, then the player can choose to ignore the Cosmic Cube for the duration of their turn.

The 4 maps from the Captain America OP kit will be merged to form the entire SHIELD Helicarrier. A maximum of 8 players will be playing on this map at the same time. Each player's team can only have a maximum of 10 figures.

Everyone who attends is guaranteed to walk away with at least one LE or 3D object from the OP kit.

On the side note, because the Superman set comes out on the 4th week of Sept. We're postponing our 3rd Saturday tournament to hold the Superman Marquee on Saturday, October 1st. Because Superman looks like it will be a high point set, we're going to try doing a $30 entry fee for a 3 booster sealed event, with the build total being 500 pts. instead of the usual 300 pts. Also during the tournament, all Superman boosters are $10 each after tax. More details on the prizing and the exact time to come.

The tournament is actually next Saturday. And no, we usually do not charge for an entry fee, unless it's specifically noted, like for sealed tournaments. And you won't need to sign up in advance.

I may do a Street Fighter only tournament sometime in September, but will let you know if and when it's happening.

Bizarro World

444-pts. Golden Age
Highlander Rule in effect

Yes, the build limit is 444-pts, because it's Bizarro World! Everyone except Bizarro, Batzarro, and Yellow Lantern starts on their last click and turns counter-clockwise when dealt damage, and clockwise when healed damage. Critical Misses are considered Critical Hits, and Critical Hits are considered Critical Misses. Break Away succeeds on a roll of 1-3 instead of 4-6. And powers that require a roll of 5-6 to succeed now require 1-2 instead.

I really want to know how it goes. Very cool concept/idea in my opinion. Let me know how this 8 man battle pans out.

We got 7 people show up. There were logistical problems with the map that we needed to figure out, and problems with crowding, so we didn't really start until 7pm. At first the game was supposed to be an hour and a half, but we extended it past 9pm so that everyone got at least 5 turns. The problem was having 8 players, it takes a while before it gets to your turn again. Perhaps we should have done two 4 player battle royales instead.

Anyways, it was quite fun. In the past, these games usually end with a few players teaming up against others, or players fending off multiple player attacks at once. However this one ended up being more like 1 vs 1 for the most part. The only player who had to fend off two players was the one who brought a Sentinel team of 2 300 pts. Mark V, and 1 400 pts. Mark V. He fended off my early-80s era Avengers roster, and a Cosmic themed team.

I don't know if it'll do this format for a while. I know the Hulk set is supposed to have 4 maps that combine as one. So we may do a Hulk themed brawl - but with restrictions to allow the game to flow faster for everyone. I'll work something out for it.

In case you're interested, this is the comic-accurate 80s Avengers I made [except Ant-Man should be Yellowjacket, but both are Hank Pym, so it's the same character]:
95 GX010 Beast
72 HA040 Captain America
226 HA016 Thor
188 SI021 Iron Man
117 AV008 Wonder Man
35 AV057 Scarlet Witch
91 SV209 Victor Shade
84 FF012 Hawkeye
19 UI003 Wasp
43 IC173 Ant-Man
10 AWF007 Armor Piercing
20 MMF008 Trick Shot
Total: 1000

The plan was to have two outwitters, with Iron Man and Beast, two Perplexers with Victor Shade [Vision] and Iron Man. 3 heavy hitters with Wonder Man [who would charge with a heavy], Thor, and Iron Man. Victor Shade uses Stealth and Perplex. Wasp carries Ant-Man who would base characters and tie them up with his 20 DV. And Captain America and Hawkeye would be my secondary attacker, with Hawkeye chipping tons of damage [thanks to Trick Shot, 10 range, 3 targets, Armor Piercing, RCE, Running Shot, 11 AV, or 10 AV [with Perplex on AV] using Transporter attack. A lot of newer players dismiss Hawkeye, but he's very effective if played right. And Scarlet Witch for PC, though since it's a theme team, I would also have tons of theme PC.

It's new set release week! This means our next tournament, which is this upcoming Saturday, will be the Superman Marquee! As a reminder, instead of doing the normal 2 booster buy-in, we're going to do 3 boosters for $30 in a 500 pts. sealed game!

Also, the store will be selling boosters for $10 each after tax, while supplies lasts of course.

A reminder of this Saturday's tournament. We'll start around 11:00am. It'll be a trail for Majestix HeroClix Open Series that will be held in November. Entry fee will be $10. However I normally don't charge entry fees unless the prizing is worthwhile. So everyone will win something, even if it's just a Superman booster, just by entering.

On one final note, starting in January I will have a separate thread to hold the Infinity Gauntlet tournaments. I'm going to finalize what time works the best for everyone for the IG tournaments so that we can get as many players as possible. More details will come by December.

I'm going to try really hard to make this Saturday's tournament.

Clarification: highlander refers only to set number, right? So if I want to play Rookie Destiny and Experienced Destiny, that's okay?

I should probably clarify the Highlander. The typical answer for highlander rule can be found in a thread like this: http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showthread.php?p=5455610

Specifically:

There is no official "highlander" rule so definitions may vary with each venue.

Traditionally, the rule treats all figures as Unique unless:

A) They are generic (again, no official definition) meaning there are more than 1 in a comic book.

B) They have a power that results in duplicates - but this can change. Some allow as many Madroxes as you can fit. Some may say he is 1 character versus nurses, lackeys, henchmen, gorilla warriors, etc.

So multiple thugs are fine. Multiple Triplicate Girls are fine [since there are more than one]. Multiple Madrox or Multiple Man are fine.

Having 2 Flashes are fine as long as one is Barry Allen and the other is Wally West, etc. Or they're from alternate universes, such as Son of Darkseid Superman with Kingdom Come Superman.

As a result having two Destiny figures, even if one is Rookie and another is Exp. is not allowed under highlander rules.

Highlander rules is in place because a few players requested it. It may seem like a big restriction, and I completely understand. But on the flip side, it forces players to try different figures.

I'll allow having one copy of the feat be used on multiple figures. Just note it in the build sheet when you get it during the tournament.

also, is there a cover charge?

Cover charge? As in charge for the cost of entry? If that's what you're asking, then, usually no. The only time we charge is when we have extra non-OP kit prizes [such as special comics or what not] for everyone, or sealed events. But they will be noted in the tournament format.

Thanks for coming to the sealed event yesterday! We'll be planning some different events for the Infinity Gauntlet compared to other venues. Our first Infinity Gauntlet Tournament will be against the Scenario Galactus. More info will be posted as the month ends.

Also, we have a Lord of the Rings OP kit available. So if anyone is interested, we may do a 300 pts. sealed tournament of 8 single boosters for $20. This will not be held during our regular tournament schedule.

If anyone is interested in the Lord of the Rings tournament, let me know if you're interested and a preferred time for the tournament. If I garner enough interest, we'll hold a tournament for the set.
I'm interested. As for time and day, the Holiday weekends (23, 24, 25, 30, 31, 1) will not be good for me. I guess best date and time for me would be the Saturday after the Holidays... late afternoon... January 7 at 6pm, or Dec 26 and Jan 2 at anytime morning or early afternoon would be good too.

If anyone is looking for a venue to play in Southern California, I'm running prize-supported tournaments at The Realm in Brea.

HeroClix tournaments is usually held every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month at 11:00am, unless otherwise noted. This thread will post up the tournament schedule and format. If anyone wants to comment, ask questions, or give any suggestions for tournament format to this venue, please post a comment here.

The Realm
1021 East Imperial Highway
Brea, CA 92821
(714) 990-8450
http://www.therealmgames.com/

The next scheduled tournaments are:
Saturday, January 14th
11:00am

Infinity Gauntlet Tournament Round 1:
-The Trial of Galactus-

900 pts.

Golden Age [Unrestricted]
No Battlefield Conditions
No Colossals
Highlander Rules

Bring a 900 pts. team for constructed play, with a maximum of 6 actions per turn. However there is a chance your game will randomly have Galactus appear. When Galactus appears, the standard old Galactus Scenario Rules will apply. Please read The Galactus Scenario Rules here:

http://www.hcrealms.com/docs/heroclix_official/Galactus_Rulesheet.pdf

Galactus will be set to his 'Mighty' level. The Timer will be set to 15. The player who knocks out Galactus wins the game and will be awarded 1800 pts. for knocking out Galactus. If the timer pasts 15 and Galactus is not KO'd, then both players will have a 'Loss' recorded.

Infinity Gauntlet 3D Objects are Participation Prizes to be awarded upon completion of the event.

Adam Warlock with Infinity Gauntlet LE Figures are to be awarded to First, Second, and Fellowship.

The “Soul World” map is intended for use in the Month One event.

For Infinity Gauntlet events One through Seven, all Players receive:
- One (1) Point for Attending event
- One (1) Point per Loss
- Two (2) Points per Win
- Three (3) Points per Event Win

To qualify for the Month 8 Event, each player must have at least 12 points to participate!

I don't see a specification of it being a Marvel only tournament. Am I right to assume, that in the trial of Galactus I can use DC Characters or is it a ludicrous idea for me to even have thought about it?

another question, say I do all the damage to Galactus except for the last one that KO's, my opponent gets the full 1800 pts and the win and I get 0, and a loss right?

If your opponent KO's Galactus, then yes. If Galactus is KO'd by himself, such as from a Critical Miss, then I'll rule that both players will be awarded 900 pts. The winner will then be determined by points [as you can attack your opponent for points], or a roll off if there is a tie.

I was thinking of awarding like 40 points for each click of damage Galactus takes, but it may be hard to track after a while. If you think it's worth implementing I will amend the rules to grant players 40 points for click of damage Galactus takes [which would still be under 1800 pts, but give enough points to make attacking Galactus worthwhile].

Edit: Scratch that. Re-read the Scenario rules - "The player whose turn it is when Galactus is KOd wins the game." So if Galactus is KO'd during your Opponent's turn, regardless on how he was KO'd, you opponent would win the game, and earn the points. Thinking about it, I may add the rule of awarding 40 points for each click Galactus takes damage to make it a little more fair, and add more incentive to attacking Galactus.

Is now change to this:
If the timer pasts 15 and Galactus is not KO'd, then the game is over. The winner of the game will be the player with the most points. If Galactus is knocked out, then the player who knocks out Galactus will gain a Point towards the required 12 points to play in the Month 8 Event.

Hey everyone! An important update. I sincerely apologize if this is last minute, but we have to move our scheduled tournament for tomorrow to next week because of logistical problems at the store.

There's a Magic: The Gathering pre-release, and 40+ people might show up for that. Which means there's no room for us.

Items do not re-spawn. Because that would cause issues with Special Objects. And finally, unless otherwise noted, feats are always allowed by default.

Anyone wanna play Star Trek Tactics? We have the OP Kit. I am thinking of running a 1/2 sealed, 1/2 constructed tournament after our Feb. 25th Tournament at 5:00p?

The tentative format is:
Buy 3 boosters for $15. Build a 300 pts. team using at least 2 of the 3 figures pulled from boosters - and at least 150 pts. must be from the sealed figures. The rest of your team can be from any figure outside of your pull.

Just a reminder, next Saturday [April 14th] is our IG Month 4 event. It'll be the only sealed event for the Infinity Gauntlet here at The Realm. So we're amping up the format as usual. $30 for 3 boosters to build a 600 pts. team. And as usual, you can purchase boosters for $10 each during this tournament.

The regular format for the 2nd tournament this month will be posted soon. I'll post formats all the way until July [where I have to see how the schedule will look taking into consideration San Diego Comic-Con].

Also, I'm in the progress of setting up a special 300 pts. Modern Age only tournament for a Convention Wonder Woman LE as the prize. The entry fee is tentatively $10, unless anyone objects it as too high. We rarely have standard "competitive" formats, let alone entry fee, so we're hoping the prize makes this tournament worth while.

Also, if anyone has any Cosmic themed tournament format suggestions, please let me know. I may make it happen. Thanks!

will there be a choas war sealed anyhoo? i think thatd be cool to have as the other tourney. cosmic themes eh. marvel or dc? i think a cool dc one would be the battle for new krypton or maybe have a lantern corp war involving all the various lanterns.how about a dark reign scenerio comprised of x-men, avengers and illuminati and their dark counterparts?

Our 2nd tournament in April will be a special tournament. We'll be giving away a Wonder Woman Convention LE. As a result, there will be an entry fee of $10. It will also be held later, at 4pm, because a Magic pre-release is scheduled the same day.

Just a reminder, this Saturday at 4pm is our Wonder Woman HeroClix tournament. We are using WizKids' standard Modern Age rules. So no Halo, Lord of the Rings, or Gears of War.

Our format for the 2nd tournament for next month is up. I'm going to regret running this event as I can already see that it is going to be brutal. I thought about banning certain figures for this tournament *cough*Con Exclusive Galactus*cough* - but I realize that some of the "broken" figures *cough*Starro*cough* can be handled fairly easily with the figures available right now.

So without any further delay, this is the format:

Saturday, June 23rd
11:00am

-Colossal Disaster-

600 pts.

Silver Age [Unrestricted]
Marvel and DC only

At least one figure in the team must be a Colossal figure.

For this tournament, all Players receive the following that goes towards your Infinity Gauntlet Month 8 Event Point total:
- One (1) Point for Attending event
- One (1) Point per Loss
- Two (2) Points per Win
- Three (3) Points per Event Win

Anyone interested in a format where you draft figures from a full C/U/R/SR set of the latest HeroClix set? So I seed players based on their overall performance [based on Win percentages], then bring one of each figure from a set [minus chases], and each seed drafts a piece. Then build a 400 pts. team based on what you draft. What do you guys think?

filling in the rest of the force with whatever else, each individual brought with them?

sounds cool.

what if, each seed drafted 3 figs- building 3 completely different 400pt teams. then each draft pick (& the team including that pick) has to be used in the round that they were selected.

1st round pick in round 1 of the tourney, 2nd round pick in round 2...

Hmmm.... that's an interesting idea...

Anyways, I may decide to scrap the Colossal tournament format for next month, and try this C/U/R/SR draft idea once I figure out the details.

Ok, because I'll be going to SDCC during the weekend of July 14th [which also happens to be the 1K tournament], I'm changing our schedule around. The third Saturday of July will be the Chaos War marquee. I'll discuss with Jonathan on the scheduling and format. This means the 4th Saturday will be our last IG tournament before Month 8.

I will also let everyone know on the 7th IG Tournament the final prize pool, as I'll see if I can grab a couple of SDCC Giant-Man and SDCC 4-pack LEs [which includes Stan Lee and Joss Whedon] for prizing. So if you still need to qualify for Month 8, it's not too late to start. Event points will be given out in all our tournaments in June and July so people can qualify for Month 8, and help people catch up on Event Points overall.

Edit: If you pre-ordered a brick of Chaos War, you may use the boosters as entry for the Chaos War Marquee.
