Hello, I'm new here, so if I posted in the wrong section...my bad...I blame my noobness.
I currently play heroclix/actionclix with a heroclix only group. I.E. Crossover rules...well I found some crossover rules for the actionclix...but they just seemed so...out of place in heroclix...so I made my own, and was wondering if I could get some opinions on them and some possible revisions that might be useful...That being said here they are...
ACTIONCLIX CROSSOVER RULES
These rules ignore all of the Actionclix rules except for the ones that are listed here in the crossover rules.
Team abilities (UNSC and Covenant)
(Team abilities excluding any flood characters, (Flood's have no team ability. Characters with the Winged bird symbol (The spartans) on their cards are UNSC affiliated, and characters with the 'Needler' symbol (The covenant) on their cards are Covenant Empire affiliated.)
United Nations Space Command (UNSC): Adjacent friendly characters modify their range values by +1. Give this character a power action and choose an adjacent friendly character. The chosen character modifies its damage value by +1 while adjacent to this character and making ranged combat attacks this turn. Uncopyable.
Covenant Empire: When the character using this team ability is given a move action, it can use the Carry ability, but only to carry characters using this team ability. It can carry up to two characters if both also have a lower point value. Uncopyable
Keywords
All Noble Six Team members gain the keyword Noble Six Team in addition to the UNSC and Soldier Keywords.
All UNSC characters gain the keywords Soldier and UNSC.
All Covenant Empire characters gain the keywords Soldier and Covenant.
All Flood characters gain the keyword Monster.
Upgrade Tokens
Upgrade tokens crossover from the actionclix rules and function pretty much like feat cards, but with a few differences.
Upgrade tokens are assigned during team building and increase a character's point value by 25 points while granting specific abilities to certain characters (I.E. Kat, Carter, and Jun).
Weapon Swap
Certain Actionclix refer to swapping weapons, this ability is referred to as Weapon Swap and is listed below.
Weapon Swap: Give this character a ranged combat action. After that action resolves, replace this character with any character with a point value equal to or lower than this character's point value and has the Soldier keyword. Existing action tokens and action tokens for that action are applied to the replacement.
Grenades
All actionclix characters with a grenade symbol on their card gains +1 to the grenade pool and the following ability:
THROW A GRENADE: Give the character a power action, decrease the number of grenades in your grenade pool by 1 (if greater than 0), and
choose a type of grenade listed on this card. Choose a target square within 5 squares and line of fire (ignoring characters for line of fire purposes). Make a ranged combat attack targeting all characters occupying or adjacent to the target square. Deal damage to each character hit based only on the type of grenade chosen.
Grenade Types
These are grenades that may be used by Actionclix characters:
Flashbang (no damage): The target square for this grenade can be within 8 squares. Place an action token on all hit characters that have zero tokens.
Frag (2 damage): A hit character in the target square is dealt 1 additional damage. Each other hit character is knocked back from the target square.
Plasma (no damage): Mark a hit character in the target square. At the beginning of your next turn, deal 2 damage to the character marked in this way and 1 damage to all adjacent characters that are friendly to that character.
Thermite (1 damage): Destroy up to 3 squares of blocking terrain or walls adjacent to the target square.
Other rules
All actionclix characters refer to shooting as their attack, and can use close combat actions.
The Actionclix character known as Emile has a kukri in addition to his shotgun. He gains the following attack ablility on his last two clix (clix 6 and 7 specifically.)
Kukri (Blades/Claws/Fangs)
Certain actionclix have the ability that reads "When this unit moves more than 4 squares and then shoots don't subtract 3 from it's attack value" Treat the character with this ability as if it had running shot instead.
Quick Swap: This character may use the weapon swap ablility after missing an attack.
Move and Attack (Charge, though it is indicated by a purple color on the dial, and the Actionclix Character Sesa Refumee doesn't have it listed on his card, but has it on his dial.)
Superior Targeting (Penetrating/Psychic blast)
Hand-To-Hand Attack (Close Combat expert)
Alternate Noble Six Team Ability (Just for spicing up the flavor of the team's unfortuante suicide mission. This team ability is only for characters with the Noble Six Team keyword.)
TEAM ABILITY: NOBLE SIX: While this character is within 5 squares of another character with the "Noble Six Team" keyword it gains toughness.
Converted Weapon Ranges
Range Weapon
0 Fist of Rukt, Energy Sword, Flood Carrier, Cortana, Flood Infection, Kukri
4 Plasma Pistol, M7/Caseless SMG, M6C Magnum Pistol, M90 Shotgun, High Prophet of Regret, Flood Marine, Flood Elite, M45-TS Shotgun, Magnum Pistol
10 52 AM Sniper Rifle, Fuel Rod Gun, SRS990 AM Sniper Rifle, M392 "DMR"
So...yeah this is what we are currently using to make them function (And it has worked fairly well so far.) I just wanted opinions and hopefully suggestions for making these a little better (And hopefully more fun.)
off-topic (as I have no clue about Action-Clix)...but are you from Germany, too? (as you used the flag as indicator).
There aren't many of us German guys around these boards...
...on a side-note...you DO know there are 100% fully compatible HALO figs out there now, do you?

My last name has germanic/celtic origins(Burgener's the name), hailing back to the coat of arms of the rising sun, Burgner is where my last name originates. So I am descended from German blood, I just don't live there...maybe choosing the flag was a tad...off...
And I am aware of the new Halo Heroclix, but the actionclix have more flavor. (Noble Six Team and Sesa refumee add loads of story to the mix specifically.) I do play the Haloclix alongside the actionclix though...Master Chief + Noble Team is awesome...
