First of all Lycanthropos, I appreciate the amount of work you put in to doing this article series. Thank you for dedicating an article to this game.
I enjoy Otherclix for both playing and collecting and I would buy the living Hell out of Fallout clix.
I have a few video game franchises that I love and Fallout is at the top of the list with Bioshock and Bioshock 2. (Please consider doing an article on the Bioshock franchise sometime down the road.)

Seriously though, New Vegas was a way better game than FO3-4. With that said, I'd kill for a Fallout anything set, and I'd play Nick Valentine with Batman any day of the week.

I loved New Vegas as well, but I just can't step away from this game right now. Fallout 3 was a blast and it will always have a special place in my heart.

My wife and I have been addicted to this game for the past month or so and, by odd coincidence, last night we were talking about how the Iron Man armor variants in the Iron Man 3 movie set should have been designed as vehicles instead of characters, since that would have allowed you to play out the final battle in the movie fairly accurately, with Tony bailing into and out of suits. So, I whole-heartedly agree that things like Fallout's power armor should be done that way!

I could also see going all out with the Lone Wanderer if it were a full set, by introducing a new gimmick that allowed you to pair a sculpt and a base during force construction. The base/dial would reflect the character's SPECIAL and perks, while the different available sculpts would reflect their equipment choices (and offer appropriate bonuses accordingly) and their gender. So, it'd be like:

Common: 1 rookie Lone Wanderer dial, randomly paired with two sculpts of Nate and Nora in their Vault suits. The rookie Lone Wanderer dial would be pretty vanilla, maybe having Precision Strike or Incapacitate (powers that work in CC or RC) to represent VATS. The Vault Suit sculpts would grant toughness (enough to ward off most characters' uses of poison).

Uncommon: 2 experienced Lone Wanderer dials (melee and range), randomly paired with two sculpts of Nate and Nora in Leather Armor. The Experienced Lone Wanderer dials would diverge into range and melee with appropriate powers. Melee would gain BCF, while ranged might pick up Energy Explosion. The two leather armor sculpts would perhaps provide Energy Shield/Deflection?

Rare: 2 veteran Lone Wanderer dials (melee and range), randomly paired with two sculpts of Nate and Nora in Metal Armor. The veterans would be experts in their chosen paths, adding Penetrating Blast or Exploit Weakness to their repertoires. The two metal armor sculpts might provide something like invulnerable - some sort of robust defense against basic attacks.

Super Rare: 2 unique Lone Wanderer dials, randomly paired with two sculpts of Nate and Nora in Combat Armor. CCE and RCE would come in with these high level characters, as well as SPECIAL powers (pun intended).

Then of course there would have to be chase and LE sculpts - the Silver Shroud, the Mechanist, the Minutemen's General, etc.

Of course, the other, perhaps simpler possibility would be to make some sort of Resource with little bobble heads on it, and use those to customize a character of your choice.

That was a terrific post with some terrific ideas, but this was my favorite part of it:

I was thinking at first that the alternate paint jobs (Minute Men, Brotherhood of Steel, Atom Cats) could be great Primes, but then I realized that would be a bummer if you wanted to play a whole gang of Atom Cats.

Excellent. Count me in.

I think a Power Armor mechanic would be incredible and I love the Bobblehead idea. You could have a bobblehead stand similar in design to the utility belt. but maybe just have the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bobbleheads.

I would suggest a full set (or two) and including characters and creatures from all the fallout games, dogmeat's in all of them, BoS, supermutants, deathclaws, radscorpions, aliens, the gamut. There's lots of themes available, companions, protagonists, faction leaders, etc...

How about split dials to represent different game versions of certain characters?

This will always be one of my favorite Heroclix mods. I was actually going to post that here.

Should really be a Fallout franchise set, as opposed to any one specific game. Wanna run a friendly super mutant team of Marcus, Fawkes, Strong, and Lily.

Fawkes was such an awesome character.

You are so right.

Mama Murphy would be a pretty fun piece because she'd be a self-destructive support piece, and those are always entertaining. That said, yeah, the set's prime for generics made with multiple starting lines, representing different levels of difficulty, and the Deathclaw is as iconic as any character.

Everything about this paragraph is great.

No idea theft here. There have been a few threads with Fallout ideas before this article and before the thread you posted last month.

If my history with Brood, Foot ninjas, hand ninjas and sentinels is any indication I'd go broke trying to get a massive swarm of raiders and/or Brotherhood of Steel knights!

Please tell me you meant this to be teal (sarcastic)

This article series is specifically dedicated to properties that should be Heroclix.

"This would be a good clix" is like the equivalent to "I should add bacon/cheese/chocolate to this." You're never the first person to think it and you also won't be the last.

Almost all with the following trait (and a map that has a similar effect):

Irradiated: When this character hits with a close combat attack, give the opposing character a Rad token. Characters with Rad tokens can't be healed beyond a click # equal to the number of Rad tokens on their card.

(I.E. if they have 3 Rad tokens, they can't heal past click 3)

A Glowing sea map would be very cool. I like the rad tokens idea.

It's very cool to see all of the Fallout love here.

If I could add my 2 cents, How about:

- A Liberty Prime Colossal figure.
- Faction Starter sets of BoS, Railroad, Institute, and Minute men.
- Maps to match certain DLCs such as Mothership Zeta, Sierra Madre, Point Lookout, The Pitt, Lonesome Road and my favorite, Old World Blues.

Really, there are so many things that could be produced and I would dump cash on all of it.

Oh, and as far as favorite Fallout games go, I'm going to cop out and say that I loved 3, 4, and New Vegas.
Each one has it's own special charm.
3 was my first Fallout adventure and it blew me away.
New Vegas had Sierra Madre, Wayne Newton and a well designed and really cool Bioshock Easter egg.
And 4 is awesome because it's loaded with cool stuff and no level cap.

All joking aside, I'd love to see this billion dollar franchise become Heroclix.

We're overdue for Wizkids to make Joe on the Lawmaster and other 2000AD characters.

Great write-up. I'm so going home tonight and playing some Fallout 4. It's been too long.

Rep to you for bringing back the memories. Cheers!

Yes! And we need subtext balloons!

Preaching to the choir. I'm a big fan of true comic book Indyclix and would love to have a set devoted completely to 2000AD comics.
That being said, I love Otherclix too and would like to see more of them.
