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?
