estragand - April 28, 2006 04:43 PM (GMT)
Hopefully I'll keep this updated, on weeks that I play HeroClix.
For 4/27/06: WIN (400 pts. 3 player)
Adam Strange LE
Batman (Icons set)
Moloid
Shaman
Silver Swan LE
Len Snart (LE Captain Cold)
Iris West-Allen (3 pt. pog)
Used "Isolation" condition card...but forgot to enforce it. Also threw in the laser canon object. Moloid works great with that. He has stealth and can't be seen when sitting on it, plus he gets off a free shot every turn. I like me some Moloids.

For 5/04/06: Game 1- WIN (400 pts. 2 player)
Len Snart (LE Captain Cold)
Scarlet Witch
Shadow Lass
Jessica Drew (LE Spider-Woman)
Geo-Force
Deadshot
Moloid
Played "Force Field" feat card on Len Snart and "Shellhead" feat card on Geo-Force
Used the Laser Cannon (again) and the "Radiation Leak" condition card. Beat a JSA team, thoroughly.

For 05/11/06: Game 1- LOSS (400 pts, 4 player)
Cyclops (Ultimate version)
Collossus (Ultimate version)
Sunfire
Banshee
Wolverine (Free Comic Book Day Version)
Nightcrawler
Thunderbird
Moira MacTaggart POG
Another themed team- the All-New, All-Different X-men. They got obliterated.
One of the guys I play with told me about the British show "Red Dwarf"...apparently some character on there wrote a book about how he played the boardgame RISK. He'd detail what he rolled, where he moved, etc. Damn.... I'm a loser.
estragand - May 28, 2006 09:06 PM (GMT)
For 05/25/06: Game 1- LOSS (400 pts, 4 player)
Scarlet Witch
Arnim Zola
Black Knight
Black Manta
Jessica Drew (LE Spider-Woman)
Shaman
Asp
Fairly crappy team. I just pieced them together with no real strategy or gimmicks. I hadn't used Arnim Zola, Black Night or Black Manta before, and just wanted to see if they had any use. Zola was decent, but I probably wont use the other two often.
estragand - June 9, 2006 09:28 PM (GMT)
For 6/8/06 Game 1- Time limit forfeit (4 player -400 pts)
Adam Strange
Owlman
Ice
Robin (Teen Titans version)
Angelica Jones (Firestar LE)
Manhunter
Renee Montoya 5 pt. POG
Owlman had "Shellhead". Used the "Rally" card.
Never noticed that Adam Strange eventually ends up with a ZERO damage. Lame.
About half of our little group appears to be moving away soon, so the "ES HeroClix Era" might end in the fall. We've been playing on a weekly/bi-weekly basis for over a year now. Alot of guys seem to be playing the card games more often, too... I really, really hate the card games.
estragand - June 23, 2006 07:06 PM (GMT)
For 6/22/06 Game 1- WIN (400 pts, 3 player)
Lex Luthor (big bad 212 pts version with the power armor)
Hawkeye (with his flying go-cart)
Ragman
Monseiur Mallah
Franklin Richards POG
Lex was the sole survivor. Wore everyone else out with my four flunkies, then Lex walked in to clean up. He was never hit. That's so frickin' EVIL! To annoy people, I did the old "Challenge of the SuperFriends" Lex voice. Everytime someone missed me, I'd cackle "haha! You Fools!!"
estragand - July 14, 2006 03:27 PM (GMT)
For 6/29/06- GAME 1 (400pt. 4 player)
Colossus (New Danger Room verion)

Jean Grey( New Danger Room verion)
Angel (New Danger Room verion)
Beast (New Danger Room verion)
Wolverine (New Sinister unique in the brown costume)
Ka-Zar (New Sinister unique)
For 7/13/06- GAME 1 (400pt. 4 player- LOSS)
Nighthawk
Jewel
Tornado Tyrant (Red Tornado LE)
Kyle Rayner (Green Lantern LE)
Mockingbird
Colossus (New Danger Room verion)
Just trying out some of the new figures, and two expensive LE's I haven't had a chance to use.
All of the new Danger Room X-men are good and cheap. Nice, even point values, too. Surprisingly, Angel is probably the best figure in the set.
Ka-Zar's not too bad for 40 pts. The new LE Wolverine wasn't too useful.
The new "Ground Zero" card is EVIL. Wiped out about half of another guy's team, before I even got to fight him. It can deal additional, unavoidable damage to either the attacker or attackee.
estragand - July 21, 2006 05:55 AM (GMT)
For 7/20/06 - GAME 1 (400 pt. 4-player - WIN)

We played a "Sinister only" game. Used the "telekinetic strain" condition card, which did absolutley nothing since noboyd used telekinesis.

estragand - September 29, 2006 05:23 PM (GMT)
I've been playing consistently for the past few weeks, just haven't posted. I'm sure People-Not-Named-Stragand are concerned...
For 9/28/06
GAME 1 (400 pts, 3-player, LOSS)
Goliath (Atlas from T-Bolts)
Whirlwind
Skurge the Executioner
Beetle
Radioactive Man
Black Knight
Themed "Masters of Evil" team. I forgot to use the Masters team ability, which allows you to keep pushing, indefintely. Radioactive Man and Beetle are great pieces.
Black Knight's marked as an Avenger obviously. But his uncle was an original Master, and he did infiltrate them back in the days of the first Crimson Cowl.
Parallax - September 30, 2006 12:26 AM (GMT)
estragand - October 27, 2006 03:42 PM (GMT)

-Mr. Hyde
-Ghost (Iron Man villain)
-Solomon Grundy
-Jack o' Lantern (Spidey villain)
-Arnim Zola (headless guy. works for the theme)
-Batman (Icons version)
-Ka-Zar (guys in loin clothes are scary. Unfortunately, someone always dresses up like Tarzan for Halloween)

The International SuperBuddies Team
-Statesman
-Captain Britain
-Rocket Red
estragand - January 26, 2007 04:59 PM (GMT)

Game 1 - (500 pts, 3 player -WIN)
-Ant-Man
-Doctor Psycho
-Joe Ledger (Dr. Spectrum LE)
-Vance Astro
-Charcoal
-Geo-Force
We played on the incredibly annoying "Asteroid belt" map. Cuts ranged attacks in half and affects movement.
Ant-Man's a booger and my new "team captain". He's tough to hit and can outwit a buncha' crap.
