“Breaking the Law! Breaking the Law!”

[WizKidsNECA]

Hey there fellow HeroClix Fans! Do you feel like you need more action in your game?
Well how about something that will help you get more out of your Move actions in your next game?

Um, okay.

It's good, I suppose. But will it really "dominate the map"? Because I've been taken in by hucksters before.

[son of shamrock]

I Declare Him An Outlaaawwww!!!

[Stainawarjar]

That's one weird rule for an ATA.

[Killer Five-O]

Anyone running that fast is definitely breaking the law.

[Munchoboy]

An inexpensive way to up my figures' Speed Value? Cool.

Now I just need to figure out a way to capitalize on this with my WC abuse teams. :devious:



:classic:

[Quebbster]

Puma and Sandman in particular loves this.
But letting Red/Blue Spiderman get a 12 Speed value is not too shabby either. :)

[krusticlese]

Glad it's only for move actions and won't work with Charge/ RS/ HSS/ Transporter...

For only 1 point, a pretty nifty ATA.

How does this happen when neither Red/Blue Superman are a wildcard or have the Outlaws TA?

*going back for more coffee. I swear I saw (superman) not (spiderman)*

[Neff]

Hmm...let's see:

Sandman 101
Spider-Man 78
Rocket Racer 60
Puma 56
Outlaws ATA x4 4

Total: 299 :cool:

[Troma99]

Washing the Dog WASHING THE DOG WASHING THE DOG.


Oh wait wrong thing

[Munchoboy]

Washing the Dog WASHING THE DOG WASHING THE DOG.


Oh wait wrong thing

Which ATA is that? :p :laugh:

[Troma99]

Which ATA is that? :p :laugh:

The one that goes

"Hehehe....Guns and BOOZE!!!"
"YEAH!! Score!"

Gotta love Beavis and Butthead.

[techdog]

Its not a bad ATA, but I was hoping for so much better. After seeing the X-Force ATA and the U-Foes ATA.

I really wanted the Outlaws to be the Batman Ally TA. That would have made them so much better. Oh well. At least they got an ATA.

[llyrghmnghyll]

Hmm...let's see:

Sandman 101
Spider-Man 78
Rocket Racer 60
Puma 56
Outlaws ATA x4 4

Total: 299 :cool:

I cleaned up with this team last night sans the ATA. my biggest complaint was sands lack of Speed. Color me happy.

[traitorarmor]

Well this is good news for Puma and Sandman......not that I had them walking anywhere to begin with.

I can't see myself building non-outlaws teams with this in mind, but it's nice to have a 1 pt ATA for a cheap way to fill in the build total(if you have figs that can use the ATA).

Spiderman is starting to bring some options to his New Avengers teammates!


==================================

Done. ;)

[Mr. Cranberry]

Wholly not game-breaking, which is nice.

Abuse worthy...possibly.

Useful, yep.

One more reason to be disappointed the new Scarlet Spider isn't a WC? Definitely.

[red king]

Behind a firewall.....

Can someone repost it so I can see it?

Ill rep you.....

Oddly enough I saw that too. I think because there was no hyphen...

[Captain Krueger]

Am I the only one noticing that the TA works even with opposing characters ?

[traitorarmor]

Here you go.


ATA: Outlaws
Keyword(s): Outlaws

Whenever a character using this team ability is given a move action, modify that character's speed value by +1 for each adjacent character using this team ability at the beginning of the move action.

Cost: 1

[ThwartHog]

Notice that adjacent characters using the ATA do not have to be friendly to activate the modification. So you can use opponent Outlaws to help yourself.

[invisibo]

for 1 point, an excellent, excellent feat.

[traitorarmor]

for 1 point, an excellent, excellent feat.
Not a feat though.

[theavengerthor]

True, but I think the chances of both players using this ATA in the same game is unlikely. Still cool though.

Oh wait wrong thing

is it lame that when i was a much younger lad and worked in an Arby's i used to sing "napkins and straws" whenever i had to replenish the holders? oh who am i kidding..of course it is...

nifty ata, and nice and cheap too :)

[mr-coffin]

I thought the same thing. Phasing is a power action though right? So no bonus when he moves that way.

[Cliffjumper]

Nice! Now the Outlaws will be playable because of this feat....NOT

[Munchoboy]

Nice! Now the Outlaws will be playable because of this feat....NOT

Are they less playable due to this ATA? :noid:


:rolleyes::p

[SLVRSR4]

How can you argue for a one point ATA? It's just a little something to throw in and has the potential to come in handy. It probably won't be game breaking. That's why it's only one point.

[Munchoboy]

I really wanted the Outlaws to be the Batman Ally TA. That would have made them so much better. Oh well. At least they got an ATA.


I can see NO editorial reason why an Outlaws ATA would qualify as the Marvel HeroClix equivalent of the Bat Ally TA.

Marvel Knights? Maybe.

Outlaws? No.

[red king]

:rolleyes::p

Ba-ZING!

Good point!

[UltraDRGN]

for ONE point? How could you not play it if you've got more than 1 of these guys on a team? Heck even a few wildcards make it worth it.

[robedestroyer]

Really? We're getting a drip of one ATA at a time? While I'm happy that we're at least getting something, this is kind of silly. It's one week until the Brightest Day Action Pack is released and we've heard no official news. I always try backing what Wizkids does and I'm one of those who always try to remain optimistic, but come on. Get your act together, Wizkids/Neca.

This just seems bush league.

[Munchoboy]

I'm having a difficult time reconciling these comments. Someone, please help.




:laugh: :p

[UltraDRGN]

maybe they simply don't want to release previews.

Dumb people running the show have thought that was a good idea in the past. =)

I think it's more a matter of priorities myself.

Regardless, what does any of this have to do with the ATA? :p

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to de-rail the thread or anything. It's nice to have a cheap ATA that won't break the bank and can fill out a team better than Alias.

[maddragon13]

Wow. A cheap and useful ATA. I like!!! I just might have to play an Outlaws team at this weekends tournaments. But without an new tournament legal Silver Sable, the team just won't feel right... :disappointed:

*going back for more coffee. I swear I saw (superman) not (spiderman)*

You and me both. I think the "Red/Blue" automatically is supposed to be followed by Superman and our eyes saw it as such. But yeah, when I reread, it was all of a sudden Spider-Man... :laugh:

On topic...that makes for 2 of 3 ATAs that are quite underwhelming...U-Foes and this. Oh, well, at least the X-Force rocks.

I too read it as Superman. I would like to propose we declare the red suit Spidey to be known as SpiderBond from here on, as his figure number is 007.

Oh, come on. You know as well as I do that by Friday, they will make an announcement that the Brightest day set won't come out until November 17th.

[robedestroyer]

You're probably right. This is also probably why we won't be getting any official DC75th previews because that's going to be pushed back until January 19th.

Just asking, but do other game companies have so many issues with previews and building up buzz for new sets? I don't feel we are owed anything, but Wizkids has created the expectations that previews are a given part of new sets.

My wallet will be thanking them for delays, if any.

Christmas + 3 kids + a Heroclix release = empty wallet!!!

Christmas + 3 kids - Heroclix release = not so empty wallet!!!

:laugh:

[VictorySaber]

Eh. I'll take an effective free boost to my movement value at a given point at the start of my turn. be it +1 or up to +3, sure. that'll free up perplex for other things, and on top of that, any chargers or HSS'ers with a not huge move can have themselves surrounded by outlaws, and suddenly, they have a lot FARTHER distance they can travel than when they first started up.

[The Arachnid]

Unless I can add this to charge, hypersonic, transporter and running shot? This ATA is pure Meh.

[Munchoboy]

And you're perfectly entitled to that somewhat two-dimensional, short-sighted perspective.

For one point, I love the ATA and the options it offers (again, for one point!)

[NickCarraway]

WOTC and Star Wars minis. They one time posted a preview 2 weeks after the set was released. Frequently they'd post set checklists 6 months after the fact. Once they just didn't bother doing any posting.

Clixers have it pretty good. Add to that the fact that the people at NECA who have direct responsiblity for clix actually troll this site and post...PRICELESS!

*going back for more coffee. I swear I saw (superman) not (spiderman)*That is the reason it's "Spider-Man", not "Spiderman". ;)
