Hey there,

Total noob here. I got my hands on some JL figs a while back, and while I know they're no longer Modern Age, I thought I'd put together a 300pt team to learn with. I like themed lists, ven if they're not 100% comics accurate. Is this disaster waiting to happen?

JL Abra Kadabra 100
JL Captain Boomerang 78
JL Heatwave 56
JL Dr. Alchemy 62

How would you go about not dying terribly with this team?

Thanks,

Zergo

It's the Rouges - dying terribly is what they do.

Sorry that's pretty much all I've got - I've played rogues a lot and unless the dice are on their side they always fail in the end.

Phyl.

ArakisLSN is, sadly, pretty spot-on. The Rogues are fun, but usually kinda worthless.

You really need a solid tentpole character to build your team around. I'd throw in Grodd, Zoom or Professor Zoom. Get rid of Abra Kadabra; it's an even point exchange for Professor Zoom.

The DC 75th and Arkham Asylum figures or Grodd are pretty beefy, but they'll eat up a little over half your point budget.

If your opponent has outwit, I'd give Dr. Alchemy the Society team ability for 0 points and keep him at the back. The others can use it as long as he's alive.

Rely on your range.

You also have 4 points to spare, so you could give Flashbang to either Heat Wave or Abra for fun.

Good luck! Viel Spass!

The rogues aren't that bad of a force...but using JL only figures will make them seem so.

First: I think Abra Kadabra doesn't bring enough to the team. I understand *why* players choose him, but in my experience most players using him end up playing a team that is 100 points down (compared to opponents) with a single Perplex.

Second: The Rogues benefit greatly from cardboard: feats and BSTs.

Third: Look at some support from outside of the JL set. Captain Cold/Len Snart from CD. The Top from AA. Even Weather Wizard from HT.
