I don't want to play a game of chess where dumb luck or money decides whether or not I get to use a rook... Collectibility is a necessary evil of Heroclix, not a boon.
Hey Guys. So I was building a team for floor and stumbled upon a team concept that reminded me of something from way back in the day.
This was before Indy came out and Vet Firelord was a PIMP. Everyone in town thought he was unbeatable (mainly because Derek & I never lost with him). Everyone was saying they were going to build a Vet Firelord team for this one tourney at Cheese Boy's. They wanted to win because some high end LE was up for grabs.
Well, I decided to build a brand new team concept without Firelord (or Ultron the #2 PIMP), and show eveyone that you can win without him. Needless to say, everyone else in town brought Firelord and I walked away with the LE.
The concept was Perplex & Willpower. Every main figure on the team had Perplex & 3 of the 4 had Willpower. Bubblehead you may remember this weekend because I spanked you too. :speechles
Flash forward to now, and I started thinking why couldn't we use this model for today's environment??? I know some of you guys don't like playing uber power, so I built a couple of teams that just may catch Shazam & Ms. Marvel off guard.
Run with the teams. What do you guys think? Are they any other figs that may work with the concept? What changes/upgrades would you make?
Team 1:
Dum Dum Dugan - Human
Dawnstar
The Boy Wonder - Aplha
+Pounce
Slave Green Lantern
300pts
Team 2:
Dum Dum Dugan - Human
Dawnstar
Nightwing - Crisis
Cosmic Boy
+Contingency Plan
+ Inside Info (Dum Dum or Dawnstar)
300pts

I like the Second team (and folks know I LOVE Slave GL!). Seems to me that this era's "Firelord" is the new Doc Strange (IMO). Dawny and Cos could borrow 2 outta 3 of Nighty's TA's.
Now I'll say something nice about the first team... With Dum-Dum's TA, and all the perplex, GL's range is 11! Nice and simple, teaches newbies how to apply modifiers to make a loss into a win.

Here is what I played today and what inspired my previous post about the Perplex/Willpower team concept:
Punisher
+Opportunist
Nightwing - Crisis
Dum Dum Dugan - Human
Marvel Boy - Rookie
300pts
Once again, The Punisher rocked for me! I introduced the new guy to some Crit Hit Chain Gun action and Frank killed every fig on his team. A proper Vegas welcoming.
Juan: Hi, guys, I'm new in town and looking for some clix fun.
Roland: Hi, new guy. Allow me to place this chain gun in your mouth and blow you away.
Jeff: Hope to see you again next week!
Juan: Yeah, sure, see you next week. Do I get a Fellowship nod? :disappoin
Roland: Fellowship? Fellowship????? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You're in Vegas baby. See ya!

SO wrong! He got the other prize Dipstick.:cross-eye
In other news....Anyone get their Illuminati Skrull? I DID! I DID! #1960, which is kinda of a low #.I also got 2 charachter cards!?!
If anyone from Vegas gets their fig minus a card, let me know.
