Well, I just finished reading Essential X-Men vol. 2. Great stuff! Proteus, the Dark Phoenix Saga, and Days of Future Past. With my enthusiasm for the X-Men on the upswing, and with a 200 pt. tourney coming up this weekend, I decided to make a small little X-Men team.

Exp. Cyclops
Exp. Colossus
R. Shadowcat
R. Paramedic

However, I did think up another team that might be better:

Vet. Colossus
R. Shadowcat
Exp. Gambit
Vet. Paramedic

I'm leaning towards the second team. I've never played an all X-Men team before, and I think Colossus is an important heavy hitter. But the first team weakens his a bit, but adds the ranged element with Cyclops. But then again you have perplex and stealth with Gambit that can power up Peter.

Any suggestions/thoughts would be great!

I've always liked Colossus but I've never been able to put him on a team, I've always found better uses for the points. Try this team:

V Beast
V Psylocke
R Iceman
R Shadowcat
E Boom-Boom

198pts

You want to taxi in Beast close to your opponents heavy-hitter and use perplex, charge and super strength(use a heavy object) for a quick 6 clicks of damage. Use Iceman for his barrier(to protect Beast from taking too much damage too quickly) and keep Psylocke and Boom-Boom based(for Psylocke's enhancement) and take turns attacking with them.

You've got that great X-men team ability to pass clicks around, plus Beast gets support later in his dial.

"You want to taxi in Beast close to your opponents heavy-hitter and use perplex, charge and super strength(use a heavy object) for a quick 6 clicks of damage."

Nice team but beast doesnt have super strength.
Heres my 200 X-team.

Shadowcat exp.
Storm vet.
Iceman rook.
Psylocke vet.
Gambit exp.

Kitty flies Storm,gambit and psylocke act as stealthed snipers and Iceman has a dual roll as a taxi for either Gambit and Psylocke or to put up a barrier if Storm gets caught out in the open.All share the X-team ability so no medic needed.I won a 200pt tourney with it but my dice rolls came up BIG!

Great ideas, guys. But unfortunately, I don't own an E Shadowcat, a V Storm, a V Psylocke, or an E Boom-Boom.

Hmm...Perhaps I could get rid of the medic and use a low-point X-Man for distributing clicks around with the X-Men ability...

Here's a good place to get pieces your missing: http://trade.mahasamatman.com/HeroCl...ex.pl?maxage=7

I personally have an extra Exp. Boom-Boom

Ugh, for some reason I had Superman on my mind while writing that.

Thanks Patrel.

I have a new idea for a 200 pt. X-Team, but with this one I had to sacrifice Kitty and Colossus.

Exp. Cyclops
R. Iceman
Vet. Jean Grey
R. Wolverine
Vet. Paramedic

Now, I know that the medic may not be needed since Jean has support, but I'm not sure how long it will last for her, and none of these figs have very long lives. Any suggestions? If I downgrade Jean, I'll have 19 more points to work with... Yes, I'm doing that. Now, what to do with those extra points....

upgrade wolverine or cyclops.With wolverine you get the Xmen team wich combined with regeneration should keep your other members alive longer and with the cyc upgrade you get an 11 attack and more ESD.

Upgrade the Wolive, you'll get the X-Men team ability then.
