How much are we going to have to spend to get Nova?

Will it be automatic that you get one or a lottery situation?

From what I understand, it will be a purchase X amount, get Nova free deal.

Dark Phoenix will be the only lottery heroclix item.

Try not to bash Sandra too much. Her review of Nova isn't any worse than the multitude of articles people write for this website. Too many to count have incorrect rule assumptions, paragraphs filled with 'fluff' and insane comparisons to other characters.

Who cares is she is now a mod over at wizkids really? Just those that think it should be them instead of her, or that perhaps because she was one of perhaps 3 vocal females who posted here?

*yawn*

That being said, the stats are posted for Nova and as usual, do you really need someone as apparantly knowing of clix as you telling you the 'ins and outs' of a figure?

p.s. Her attack is still poop for 200 points, with 2 clicks of RS and like half a dial of toughness. How much does that Cosmic team ability cost again?.....

She isn't Thor, no. Similar on first click abilities only. If anything, she's a souped up version of Hal Jordan GL. He's worth his cost, I have a feeling she will be too.

Power Cosmic, running shot, big range, decent attack, very perplexable... I'll use her.

Or as a hood ornament on your car!


Surfer would be on one too!

Editorial Control?? Considering that this is a free site and none of us had to pay a single cent to register, I think we can be and should be a little more forgiving about whether the front page articles offered here would cut it in a real world magazine.

Hmmm...I think I didn't make myself very clear. What I meant was that when they receive an article from a contributor, if it isn't up to snuff maybe they shouldn't put it on the front page.

When I see member articles on other websites, they tend to be more well-thought out than this.

I don't think the admins need to make sure it is of publishable quality--but maybe, and I'm really not trying to be mean here, maybe they should make sure it's at least good .

A little bit of research (like reading the Fortitude feat) and more than a cursory inspection of Thor's and Surfer's dials would have inproved the article by leaps and bounds.

If the article isn't good, it shouldn't be on the main page--it should be with the rest of the member submitted articles, or in the forums themselves.

I'm not trying to be mean, or belittle her. I just want this website (like everyone here, I presume) to be of high quality and useful. Unfortunately, her article is neither.

...yuck.

Better than SS LE, but not a Thor.

Absolutely...completly...utterly...awful...

This figure is a total and complete failure...She is weak and not creative in the least...I thought they would do something at least decent with this figure. No attack powers at all?!?!?!?! 10 attack for a Herald of Galactus?!?!?!?!?! That's just ridiculous.

I'm kind of glad though...now I don't have to worry about getting her at all.

I do not believe you can turn off team abilities...secondly, when you mind control a character and turn off an ability such as impervious you no longer have control of them so you couldn't attack. Thirdly, you don't give a character an action token when they do a mc action so Nova wouldn't be pushed at all.

What I'm curious about is how someone who racked up a hand-full of warning points last year and then committed plagiarism this year is not only writing a front page article for HCRealms, but is getting previously unreleased material from WizKids to write the article.
Her qualifications as a source to this site are that she’s a Mod and that she’s an active member of HCRealms. However, she’s not even an active member of late, having only posted three times this past month. She’s made it quite obvious that she’s starved for attention – her occupation is currently listed as stripper. And then the final sin she commits is writing a horrible article, only to get it on the front page of HCRealms.
Am I jealous? No. HCRealms can’t afford me as a writer. It’s that simple. I love the game, but my time writing needs to be compensated.
However, as an actual writer, I’m offended. Stealing the work of others is enough to lose your job – Permanently – as a writer. Writing bad junk like 400 words of fluff is another way. But, because as she points out, she’s a girl, so we put up with her. Meanwhile, there are quite a few other girls on this site that don’t feel the need to point it out with every post they make.

All team abilities are optional. And if you turn them off, they're not able to come back on until the owner of the Mind Controled pieces' turn.

Nope. Mind control is the poor man's outwit, letting you take off any optional power for free. And you'd still be able to use the piece for an attack. Although, at 200 points, that'll be 2 clicks to the controller and not a lot on the other side to attack.


True. However, she would be weak to incaps, something that was only annoying before the MC.

Any optional ability that is cancelled returns at the end of the current turn, in this case, the mind controller's turn. Also, all optional abilities are available for use by the mind controller even if the opposing controlling player turned them off before the Mind Control takes place.

They made Nova so shiny so you hopefully wouldn't notice how bad she is stat-wise. I think she's another joke... just like Silver Surfer.

Still doesn't mean I won't try to get her!

Looks Awesome. Hot (in the 'flaming' sense), chrome chick fig. Stats.... meh.

Thor is better. With Fortitude, the only thing he'll be missing is no Willpower, but he would have defence against Exp. weakness. He'll be an unstoppable 211 point, 5+ damage machine. (with the exception of psyblast) Fortitude is gonna be a wisconsonian's card (mine too ) Real cheesy.
