Super Heroes

If time travel exists, then it's probably always existed since, you know... time travel. At least, that's one way to look at it. Kang is a master time traveler and he's looking to rule. The heroes are looking to stop him. Will they be able to? Well, that's up to you to find out in the Kang scenario pack coming soon for Marvel Champions.

From the article:

Prepare yourselves, mortal heroes! You have been tested before by the likes of Green Goblin or the Wrecking Crew, and you’ll soon be able to take on Hydra with The Rise of Red Skull campaign expansion. But you have never faced a villain with the futuristic technology, awe-inspiring intellect, and time-altering powers of Kang the Conqueror!

Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce The Once and Future Kang, a new scenario pack for Marvel Champions: The Card Game!

Few villains have challenged you in the same way as the indomitable Kang. You’ll face Kang in the present day and across the multifarious timestreams, battling his incarnations through the centuries in a scenario that’s unlike any other. With expert versions of Kang to swap in if you’re looking for a greater challenge and three modular encounter sets that you can pull into this scenario or any other, The Once and Future Kang promises to push you and your fellow heroes to their limits.

You ever just have those days where you're hungry the whole time? You have lunch and yet you're still hungry. You grab a snack but you're still hungry. You try and ignore it. Your stomach just seems a bottomless void that it seems only a planet would fill. That's Galactus much of the time. And he's got his sights set on your HeroClix tabletops. A new Premium Colossal Figure of him will be making his way towards us this August.

From the article:

The Devourer of Worlds draws near! As Galactus’ hunger grows, his next target is revealed: the HeroClix tabletop! This Premium Colossal Figure has been specially sculpted with detail pushed beyond anything ever seen in HeroClix. At more than a foot tall, Galactus comes alive to tower over the tabletop and includes an alternate helmetless head to display.

Galactus delivers enormous depth of play in addition to a stunning representation of one of Marvel’s most beloved cosmic characters. Galactus has 3 x 6 base with 4 dials. Two of those dials represent Galactus himself (for 32 clicks of health). He also has two special dials. An all-new Herald Dial to let another character serve him, and a never-before-seen Elemental Converter Dial which will allow Galactus to devour the map!

No matter what size HeroClix game you’re looking to play, Galactus will be a great addition to it. He’s got 6 point values, you can play him as himself from 750 to 100, or just utilizing the Herald dial at 25 points. On his top-dial he’s an 11 range, 15 attack, 21 defense, 8 damage force of nature! He’s a return to old-school HeroClix colossal figures that take a few friends to defeat. Will you face him head-to-head or alongside allies? The fate of the Earth rests in your hands!

Yes, there's a lot more than just four figures in the set. That wouldn't make for a very big HeroClix set, would it? After what feels like forever, there's some new HeroClix figures that you can go pick up. This set's all based on the Fantastic Four and all their various members, allies, and villains.

From the article:

The wait is over! The Fantastic Four return to HeroClix for an unforgettable 5-figure booster release! Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, the Human Torch, and The Thing team up with some of their well-known allies to take on some of their greatest foes including Dr. Doom, the Frightful Four, and the shape-shifting Skrulls.

High school is a pretty awkward time for everyone involved. Even those that feel like they fit in well are trying to figure out everything that's going on. So, if you're a super hero and having to deal with all the issues involved with that as well, it's going to be that much tougher. But it's into this world that you find yourself in Super High School, a new RPG that's up on Kickstarter now.

From the campaign:

Super High School is a role-playing game for teenage superheroes. It is aimed at all ages, but it has been especially designed for the youngest members of the family. It is also perfect for your first steps in the world of role-playing games.

We all know that role-playing games are a means of teaching and learning in values. Super High School reinforces this: It offers a leisure experience with simplicity and effectiveness to narrate superhero scenes while transmitting superhero values such as effort, empathy, helping those in need and taking responsibility for the decisions made. Thus, all acts will involve repercussions.

As a matter of fact, this is a fundamental aspect of the game in which both children and adults will discover that actions involve consequences, and it will be your task to perform your duties as a superhero accordingly. So, protecting the citizens and the immediate surroundings should be preferred to defeating the villain.

If not, you may be perceived as a villain in the eyes of the public opinion and become a pariah, as you will be no longer accepted by your peers. You will not be liked, respected or trusted anymore if your aim is only to be a renowned superhero and you put your ambitions before other people’s safety.

The campaign is up and running now and is set to go for another 29 days.

Many of us here in North America take a bit for granted that we can usually get the "new hotness" games pretty easily. But that's not always the case all around the world. Well, if you're in Europe and you've been having trouble getting WizKids games, you might be in luck. WizKids has new distribution partners over there and so their products should be more available to you.

“With growing popularity and a strong European fanbase, we’re thrilled to offer even more options for our European retail partners,” said Justin Ziran, president of WizKids. “Our initial focus will be on the latest releases, with back catalog products joining the line-up in the near future.”

The recently announced distributors join existing full line WizKids partners and distributors, ADC Blackfire Entertainment GmbH, Asmodee UK, Asmodee Nordic, Extended Play, Intrafin, Kaissa, Pegasus and Cosmic Group.

The super heroes and super villains are hitting the streets. Fights are breaking out and it's chaos. Will it be the heroes that save the day? Or will the villains finally take over? That's up to you to decide in Marvel: Crisis Protocol, now available from Atomic Mass Games (already seen some pictures of my friends in other countries that've picked it up already. I'm not envious... I don't know what you're talking about...).

From the website:

Marvel: Crisis Protocol is a tabletop hobby miniatures game set in the Marvel Universe. Players assemble, paint, and collect an ever expanding line of highly detailed plastic miniatures representing iconic Marvel characters. Players choose characters from their collections to form their own Marvel inspired dream team and then pit their chosen forces against each other on an interactive tabletop where the very terrain itself can be thrown, crashed into, and destroyed during the super powered showdown.

Knight Models recently announced the 3rd Edition of the Batman Miniatures Game. Of course, people want to know what the new model stats look like, especially from the character that has their name in the title. Batman. Have a look at the new stat card for the Caped Crusader.

From the post:

We’ve been working hard on the 3rd edition of Batman Miniature Game, to bring a new and exciting experience to your games set in Gotham City’s dark and twisted streets.

The new character card builds on the familiar elements of previous versions, but takes a bold and streamlined approach, optimizing the game elements to make them easier to reference, and play in a faster, more intuitive and more dynamic way. Key information is clearer than ever, reducing the amount of time spent cross-referencing with the rulebook.

While the design has been improved, the card retains the familiar skills and characteristics of previous editions, so existing players can easily get to grips with the rules.

In the coming days we will explain in more detail how the 3rd edition game mechanics work, so you can see exactly how the Dark Knight will tackle his foes. Stay tuned for more!

Knight Models has announced that they're coming out with a new edition of their Batman Miniatures Game. Take to the mean streets of Gotham city and either work to clean up all the scum and riff-raff, or become part of the scum and riff-raff. Expect more updates and previews to come.

From the post:

What’s that? You want to go back to the mean streets of Gotham? Well, luckily for you the Batman Miniature Game 3rd edition is right around the corner. Over the coming days we will reveal more about this exciting new edition, as well as a host of new releases. Stay tuned for updates, and get ready for some surprises!

No, the dials aren't going to be clear now on HeroClix figures. However, since the dials are printed on the back of the hero's stat cards, WizKids is going to be changing their game rules so that one player can look at another player's stat card whenever they want. Now, many games have such open information already. Now, it's just coming to the HeroClix world.

From the post:

Back in 2016 we described our plan for placing the HeroClix dial information on the front of the character card and allowing it to be visible to all players. This caused a lot of concern in the Clix Community, and ultimately, we made a less dramatic change to HeroClix character cards – one where we’d put the dial on the back so the controlling player could view their own dials.

With WWE HeroClix on the horizon, adding new Standard Powers to the PAC and hopefully an influx of new players into our game, we re-investigated the benefits of all players being able to view the combat dial on each figure.

As you may have heard us communicate at shows like Origins, WizKids World Championships, or Alliance Open House, one of our goals with products like WWE or The Orville is that we will attract people who aren’t already playing HeroClix. We know that many locations in the HeroClix community do a great job socially of welcoming to these people, and we’re sincerely appreciative of that. We believe that making the game easier to enjoy and understand is an important part of what we as a company can do to support players and retailers who are getting HeroClix newbies up to speed as invested players. Visible dials are a part of that. Starting November 6^th, 2019 (two weeks after the official North American release date for WWE HeroClix) the HeroClix tournament rules section about “Character Cards with Visible Dials” will be amended to say the following:

Character Cards with Visible Dials: A player may ask to view another player’s card at any time. Players should not spend an excessive amount of time reviewing character cards.
