Ok I'm pretty new to this game (started about three weeks prior to this post) and started off with Chaos War. So far from all the theme teams and really broken stuff, I want to focus my efforts on a S.H.I.E.L.D. team for 300/400/500 comps. So far the local I go to don't have many house rules, just a minimum of 3 figures (we only do 300 point modern age tourneys, no objects). However I do want to form teams for the 400/500 comps as well.

Right now, these are the S.H.I.E.L.D. figures I have so far:

-Victoria Hand
-Hawkeye & Mockingbird (just pulled today so that really got me into S.H.I.E.L.D. team lol)
-Nick Fury
-Max Fury
-Ms. Marvel
-Tony Stark (with Iron Man AE)
-Ant-Man

I'm looking to get pretty competitive in this game and my play style is more of a "snipe in safety" type, so I'm not as aggressive unless I need to be.

I looked up some of the other sets that contain fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. units and so far pinpointed two other sets:

1. Captain America
2. Avengers Movie

So far I have only formed a few teams for S.H.I.E.L.D. and it's limited to the Chaos War set.

300 Points

Hawkeye/Mockingbird -148
Victoria Hand - 40
Max Fury - 69
Tony Stark/Iron Man - 41
Team Total: 298

400 Points

Hawkeye/Mockingbird -148
Ms. Marvel - 110
Victoria Hand - 40
Nick Fury - 45
Tony Stark/Iron Man - 41
Team Total: 384

So feel free to comment if you have any suggestions for a good S.H.I.E.L.D. team that can hold its own against both one-man armies and swarm teams.

Hey, I play quite a bit of S.H.I.E.L.D. myself, and ranged static teams are a blast to play.

You absolutely need to get the split versions of Hawkeye/Mockingbird, because they are much better starting separately. Being able to merge just gives them a lot more options.

A solid team revolving around static ranged for 300 points is Hawkeye, Mockingbird (50pts), Steve Rogers, and Sharon Carter with a Thunderbolt ATA to Hawkeye, TA'ing to Ultimates. Pick the Garden map for absolute reign on characters without answers to stealth and ranged.

Keeping Rogers near Mockingbird and Mockingbird near Hawkeye is a key formation to get the most out of his +3 range/+1 attack. Merge into Hawkeye/Mockingbird when based. Don't forget to push Sharon for her perplex.

If it is too hard to hit pieces with Impervious or Super Senses, drop Sharon/Mockingbird and use Tony Stark/Victoria Hand, with the entire team using the new S.H.I.E.L.D ATA. 14 range outwit and two capable attackers should give you strong firepower

Other good modern age S.H.I.E.L.D. teams would be CA Quasar/CA Nick Fury for a 2-man army in 400/500 point comps, and AVM Maria Hill/CW Nick Fury for swarm teams.
