So, here we go.

I thought I'd try something new (new to me anyway). I am pretty darn familiar with this game, though by no means am I familiar with EVERY nuance of it. So my big IDEA was this. I am gonna try and create as many different teams as I can, using figs that I have available to me, using stategies not exactly the norm for this place. i am well aware of the prevailing opinion of needing lots of free move taxi's and 10 inch ranged fighters, outwit and PC. What I am trying to do is come up with something besides the R Black Panther, E Black Cat, U wasp, V Bullseye and E Firelord , V Doombot , R vulture with a E A.I.M. Medic. ( or variations thereof)

Most of the teams I will be posting will have a glaring weakness of some kind to most of you people, and that's fine. I am WELL aware of the shortcomings of most figs. What I would like to know, really, is if they MIGHT work, and how with MINOR tinkering they might be better.

Just so you know, I will NEVER mix Marvel and D.C.( personally I don't like D.C. that much, so I would NEVER sully my precious Marvel figures with thier presence). Also I just LOVE to use Uniques. Heck, I go through all that trouble to get the darn things, I figure I might as well use em, right? I also prefer to use the 300 point format, with the occasional 200 point thrown in.( oh, I also like silly names for my teams)


Fuzzy Strike!

Nightcrawler Unique 83
Doctor Octopus Veteran 66
Doombot Rookie 27
Doombot Veteran 38
A.I.M. Medic Experienced 16
Black Panther Rookie 27
Bullseye Veteran 43
=300 points exactly

Ya know, this is not the best team ever, but DANG IT! I wanted to use Nightcrawler. So like most teams, it does INDEED have a V Doombot, a Rookie BLack PAnther, AND a V Bullseye. ( big suprise huh?

First thing ya gotta do is keep dispersed. Have the good Doctor perplex The Elf's damage up to three, Move with a doombot as the taxi for him and take out support pieces at will, then run like crazy. Second Doombot moves bullseye around as the sniper, while with willpower and Leap/Climb Doc can try and keep line of sight to either of them, to perplex either damage or attack as needed. Black panther you ask? well, there is the invaluable free move and outwit, just gotta try and keep him alive out of sight and in range when needed. Pretty simple, pretty basic, and with a few weaknesses. Yeah, Doc would not be my first choice as an infighter, but untill some cheaper perplex comes along for Marvel, what's a guy gonna do?

But since I'm here...

It looks solid. Atypical, but solid. Being able to perplex nightcrawler's damage is critical. The fuzzy elf hitting for 2 just doesn't cut it.
Doc Ock is becoming a staple (so he's fairly common) but that's because he's so darn playable. What with the willpower and perplex and all.
Bullseye vet. Eh, whattaya gonna do?

One of the biggest strengths the team has though is being able to use the Doom Team ability to exchange clicks with Nightcrawler! Since the dude is so hard to hit with a medic, swap clicks with the doombot and then heal the bot. Plus since the receiver of the click takes the action, a doombot could heal Nightcrawler in the same turn Kurt runs out to attack.
Anyway, without anyone on the team having any sort of defensive damage modifier, one solid hit could really take out a key player, but I can't really see anything you can do about that.

Good luck.

This is probably the best team I've seen you post.

But you're not straying too far from what you were trying not to use: E AIM medic, Bullseye, Doombot, etc.

But it's really great, actually. I think it has a decent shot at a tournament.

Looks like a solid tourny team that has a good chance at taking home the gold.

I suggest not forgetting the sinister syndicate team ability. If your doombot and bullseye are adjacent, you can share attack ratings. 2 damage from a doombot with an 11 attack rating is nothing to scoff at :) Great advise from Azs too about the wildcard/X-men interaction.

WOW! A response from the Mighty azs. my life is complete.( that is not sarcasm either) and i know, I am impatient at times, cause I get bored at work. Ya know, believe it or not, I hadn't even thought of the exchanging clicks with the doombot. LORD! and I know, I know, I used some of the things I was railing against.....Like I said, I just couldn't find a better way to use nightcrawler. i do have a couple other teams that I have here in the rate and review that are much different though.

They are under

Blades of Steath

300 points for your perusal

and I think it's Distracted by the View


thanks again
( and sorry for the impatience, I am just SOOOOO bored at work today, snow shut everything down)

I like the concept and I have been working on something similar myself. You'll have to test it out and let us know how it fairs.

It is a solid team. I personally would never use if for a few specific reasons, but it is sound and playable without being what some would consider a "cheesefest". I'll be happier once Beast is out so that I can perplex Nightcrawler using all heros.

well, just as an update on how I did with this team!

Not very well actually. In the first round, challenge of champions, I only really took out a vulture, but then again he only took out a Doombot and bullsyeye. So I lost. but it was mostly a standoff against onoe of the best players at my venue. not horrible but not great.


Second round was Hurricane. Both took a severe beating by the wind, But I did manage with the winds help to do a HS attack on a rookie thor and take him out.


#rd round? just got wated by a V Firelord, V Logan and V sabertooth with Taxis.


Mostly my own fault, and the worst I have ever done in a three round tourny, but oh well. That last game was ALL my own fault for poor planning, but there ya go!

Cool Random! Even tho you didn't pull the big W, still sounds like a lot of fun. Im sure that you could take the FL team next time.
