Pony Up
Get More Horsepower In Your Heroclix!
<img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/80851/HCRealms.com/201104/My-Little-Pony.jpg" style="width:450px;">
You can lead a horse with a map, but can you make him play a game of HeroClix? And if he does, how will he roll the dice with no thumbs?

A horse is a horse, of course, of course...
Unless your horse is a HeroClix horse, in which case he's a SUPER STALLION capable of kicking Galactus in the teeth! Heroclix is no stranger to the equestrian arts, and features several fun foals and their range roving riders. Take a look at these three nags, and the horses they rode in on.
First up is Mirage,
ff007 R Mirage
Team: X-Men
Range: 6 :bolt:
Points: 55
Keywords: New Mutants, Psychic, Teen
m-transport-winga-fistd-shieldg-starburst8914288142781327813167121KOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKO
<img src="http://www.hcrealms.com/units/ff007.jpg" style="width:150px;padding-right:5px" align="left">Atop her faithful steed Brightwind, Danni Moonstar brings the horsepower as a flying transporter :m-wing-trans: for the X-men/New Mutant set. Her sparkly moonbow shoots rainbows of power at opponents, dealing penetrating blast damage to defenses like Impervious, or stunning them (Incapacitate) with her shiny white coat. Brightwind is a vanilla Valhallan beauty, radiating sunlight that protects her from ranged attacks (ES/D).
Not the strongest member of today's calvary, Brightwind and Mirage bring the longest ranged attack, proving that even a pegasus with a pure heart can also be the best of the bedazzling broncos.
Next up is Mirage's mounted mentor: Brunnhilde the quintessential Valkyrie, riding atop her stunning stallion Aragorn.
ha055 V Valkyrie
Team: Defenders
Range: 4 :bolt:
Points: 145
Keywords: Asgardian, Deity, Defenders, Warrior
m-transport-winga-fistd-shieldg-starburst1211184121018310101731091749916498163981528815389154KOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKO
<img src="http://www.hcrealms.com/units/ha055.jpg" style="width:125px;padding-right:5px" align="right">Valkyrie proves she's not just foaling around in the stables but can bring the pain with the best of the big boys. 4 damage supplemented with Super Strength is enough to KO most figures, and 'Hildy does it in style.
That pretty coat of feathers isn't just for looks, Aragorn tops out with a 12 movement, proving to be the steed with speed, easily beating the other horses at the races. Another transporter :m-wing-trans: who can move and attack, this mighty mare flies with the grace of a gossamer winged hummingbird.
Finally, we have the best in show, the all around amazing amazon and her fabulous filly named Sprinkles.
an051 R Wonder Woman
Team: Justice Society
Range: 0 :bolt:
Points: 100
Keywords: All Star Squadron, Amazon, Justice Society, Warrior
m-transport-boota-fistd-shieldg-starburst10111731010173891638101638101628915289152KOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKO
(Speed) Cavalry Charge: Wonder Woman can use Charge. When she uses Charge, she ignores opposing characters and hindering terrain for movement purposes. After actions resolve, any number of adjacent opposing characters may be knocked back two squares.
<img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/80851/HCRealms.com/201104/dc75_wonder_woman.jpg" style="width:150px;padding-right:5px" align="left">This colt is a heck of a kicker, evidenced by that knockout power providing knockback. While this looker can't fly, Sprinkles does take a blue ribbon in the jumping competition, bypassing obstacles like hindering terrain and opposing characters with ease.
With a modest point cost, strong combat values and the power to Exploit Weakness, Princess Diana's Paradise Island pony is the best ride on the island for the cost, and won't ever have to worry about being put out to pasture.
Played together the three add up to an even 300 points of Horsepower!
Stay tuned for more equestrian articles as we Horse around with other HeroClix, like How to Mod DC 75 Beast Boy into a pony (A horse of a different color), Animal Man: the Horse Whisperer, and a strategy primer on Nekron's Black Stallions titled: How to Beat a Dead Horse!

Ye gods! I was just joking at work about how at least MLP hadn't spread to the Heroclix forums. Little did I know that I was terribly wrong. What's a pony's natural enemy other than glue factories?

I will be honest, I normally hate your puns anonym0use, but this was funny:

Come on modders - get those ponies up there!!

I would have Spider-Pony now. Unfortunately I cannot have a custom avatar. :( Think that comes with donor status or something.

Very nice, hahaha. I've played Wonder Woman and Valkyrie together with others which worked really well.
I thought my girlfriend was looking at My Little Pony stuff and the ads picked it up. Then it clicked. Very funny.

<rushes off to youtube>
You have no idea.
On that note, my only disappointment with the April Fools Day background switch-up is that it's themed to older ponies I don't recognize.
There's a new series?!?
<rushes off to youtube>
You bet there is. I am not a guy admitting to liking it (female here, I am not sure how many female users are on this site). It's pretty fantastic actually. My boyfriend likes it too. When we first watched it together after both of us watching the first 14 episodes alone we were like, "We'll see how this works out, but if we are weirded out watching it together we might have to watch it alone..."
That being said, here's the link to part 1 of the first episode. It pretty much plays out like a D&D campaign. If you make it through parts 1 and 2 of episode 1, watch episode 2 and see if you still like it.

Yes, It's on the HUB an new station. Hit Youtube you can find pretty much all of them> It's actually pretty well written show that actually funny. I never thought I could like a MLP cartoon especially at my age, but it acutally brings me some genuine laughs.
I'm finding the pepto-bismol wash kind of soothing, really...

I'm in shock! None of these pieces are viable for play, IMHO! I would rather melt all my Heroclix to slag rather then play any of these pieces of Hulk poodoo. This is by far the worst thread I have ever been on and anonymouse has just been lowered in the Geek Pantheon of Heroclix royalty. Are you kidding me with this? If I could give you negative rep, I would sir. Shame on you sir for the travisty I have seen today, I may never come back to HCRealms after this apalling excuse for a thread! I may just take all my Heroclix, melt them into a huge pile of pointless goo, stick 'em in a box and mail them to you just out of spite. Curse you anonymouse and MLP, you have ruined my once perfectly serene life of bliss! CURSE YOOOOOUUUUUUU......!
