What's on your table right now?

Nice.  I'll be waiting for your impressions.

I've already played the store's demo copy about 7-8 times.  Great game!

[Bison]

Cool.  I've heard really good things about it.

Just getting back into Heroclix myself. Got a couple co-workers hooked now too. We're meeting every Wednesday at work and playing at lunch!  :bd:

I did some of that back when it first came out (2002?).  Definitely enjoyable and, thankfully, didn't require bookkeeping.  Which was obviously one of it's big Pros.

Picked up a variety of them a few years ago, anticipating some quick casual games.  I don't recall the average 200-500pt game taking very long, so it seemed nice for relative quickies.  Still haven't played since long ago.  The releases, since then, seem to have had a big leap in power so the old Marvel ones are pretty damn weak compared to the later editions. 

However, I'm also planning on getting dual use out of them.  I have both Mutants & Masterminds 3rd Ed and ICONS RPGs.  They are most likely to get used in a 1-on-1 or 1-on-2 player supers RPG.  Can see them working great for small groups, and drop in/out, with steady action.  ICONS has random tables for hero generation, and minimal rules, so it'd also be good as a gateway for youngsters which is probably how I'll use it. 

CSI has $15 bags of 100 Random Heroclix minis (with no cards).  I grabbed one of those, for the RPG purpose, and was happy with the mix since many were obscure enough that most people wouldn't have preconceptions.

Yea, the older dials are near worthless when playing against the newer dials. I sold off my collection several years ago and regretted it. Bought a local collection, sold off what I didn't need and the proceeds from that were enough to cover what I wanted and some extra $$ for my WW2 mini's venture.

It's a fun and faced paced game that doesn't take too long to play and the replay-ability is immense.

I'm in the process of making some 3D terrain for our clix games!  :bd:

You can pick up a crap-ton of HeroClix cheap at Origins.  I got a bunch and put them on GW bases and just threw out the HeroClix bases, and I got about ≈150 figs for about $25 or so.

Yes but doesn't picking up heroclix minis without the heroclix bases sort of defeat the purpose of playing the actual heroclix game?

[bayonetbrant]

The ones you buy there all have the bases.  I made the choice to cut the bases off of the ones I bought to use for more general RPG minis.

The shameless part is pimping Origins. I don't care what he does with his Heroclix minis. At least he's buying minis :P

[Bison]

I have minis too!  Blood Rage, Scythe, various Reaper Bones minis, Imperial Assault, etc...
