Everyone is claiming to be Thanos's kid to hide who is real kid is, Spartacus style? Or to taunt him? Either one is pretty hilarious.

Also everyone volunteers at tribute to Apokolips, Hunger Games style. "You can't ALL GO."

hey, is (0,0,0) Colu or the Skull Ship?

We may just have to go there to find out. :D

So noob question but how do you post the builds and characters and that jazz on here??

I learned by using the quote button on posts that had builds listed, and then figuring out what info goes where. It's pretty simple, you just need to know the figure's collector set number and put the word "team" inside of brackets like this: [team]

you can also just list it out the old fashioned way!

yeah, if you have difficulty figuring out the /team function, then post it old fashioned and i'll convert it for you

So far I have two moves submitted for this weeks turn! Make sure you get your army movements in by Saturday at midnight!

hey, speaking of submission deadlines, are the results of the apokolips/titan skirmish due this Saturday too, or does the main story arc battle have the same due date as the galactic battles?

They are not do this week. Same due date as the battles

cool, still waiting on a shipment of minions. my thanos army was practically all named folk

Two things of note: we had us some staffing issues. With no actual minions of Thanos at our disposal and only two parademons, we decided to play "anything Thanos-related who isn't a Cull Obsidian character" versus "anything with Apokolips keyword, no matter how powerful." So we ended up with what kind of felt like Thanos' daughters on a bachelorette party versus Darkseid's servants on a company cruise. But it worked!

Second: we *still* could only come up with just shy of 600 points per team, so we went with it. (I also placed an order this week for more minions and space critters because we're really short, but they didn't arrive by game time).

Darkseid's Marvel adopted son: Blastaar
Thanos' DC adopted daughter: Bleez

Winner: Empire of Thanos
Survivors: Proxima Midnight, Nebula, one Chitauri holding on by a thread

Neither ship destroyed, neither ship taking any damage! Also never rolled once for reinforcements, which was fortunate since we were SEVERELY short on generics. A couple of "targeted attacks" and like, FIVE shockwaves actually had a real impact on the match.

Despite our shortcomings it was a fun match. The Apokolips squad effectively neutralized the two pieces we thought would do the most damage (Bleez and Proxima) but the Chitauri were used as legitimate human (well, alien) shields to keep Nebula firing and Gamora went in hard and fast after Blastaar, sacrificing herself to make him a non-issue in the match, blood for blood.

20/20 hindsight Libra probably would've been better off sacrificing himself and letting the parademons fight, but it was annoying the heck out of the Thanos player and it felt just... so appropriate.

With so many named and so few generics involved the write-up won't quite fit, but I'll post the fictionalized narrative in a separate post for fun's sake.

You get my empires submission?

Our dramatic retelling. Too many named characters for the scenario because of our lack of generics, but it made for a fun fight.

***

The crew of the Death's Head don mismatched armor, bandanas, and headscarves, disguising their appearance. Nebula, the ship's captain, shouts out orders while deferring to Proxima Midnight as mission leader. The tall warrior shakes her head at the sight of the world's deadliest woman hiding behind a head-wrap, as if no one will recognize Gamora the instant she pulls a knife.

And then there's Bleez with her wings. Still, if they were to be boarded, having the Furies of Thanos with her would even the odds a bit.

That is, until two massive Apokoliptian warriors with matching beards came charging down the gang plank.

* * *

Blastaar and Kalibak lead the charge, bragging like barbarians at how many pirates they'd kill. Desaad raises an eyebrow at Libra.

"I can't say I'm able to muster the same bloodlust," Desaad says.

"Still," Libra says. "The brothers are effective blunt instruments if you point them in the right direction. I'll search the ship. This is no pirate vessel."

Blastaar strikes first, hitting a Chitauri warleader with a running shot. Proxima Midnight spots an immediate problem, the Darkseid advisors Desaad, and hits him with a ranged attack. She is, in turn, missed by an attacking parademon, while Kalibak gets in close, preventing Proxima from taking advantage of her ranged ability.

Gamora dances her way through the battlefield and slashes Blastaar. Nebula shoots Blastaar as well, equally mobile on the edge of the battlefield. A passing parademon hits Gamora hard.

Nebula and her Citauri combine forces to attack Blastaar seeing him as the biggest threat
Bleez enters the fight, mind controlling Kalibak to get him away from Proxima. Desaad psychically attacks a Chitauri, driving the creature to its knees.

Proxima is caught in close combat with Libra, who masterminds his damage to a parademon.

Gamora slits Blastaar's throat without hesitation. Her victory is short lived, though, as Kalibak clobbers Gamora, defeating her.

Libra misses an attack on Proxima as Desaad defeats a Chitauri warleader. Nebula and a Chitauri gunman team up to pick away at Kalibak's defenses, while another Chitauri warleader steps in to prevent Kalibak from charging Nebula.

The Death's head has some bad luck, receiving a critical hit (blocked by previously received shielding). A focused fire attack damages the Chitauri warleader blocking Kalibak but doesn't stop him.

Bleez can't hit the broad side of a star cruiser, but the tide changes as the Thanos team realizes it's a trap, removes three action tokens.

A shockwave hits, damaging Kalibak and Nebula. Bleez confronts Kalibak, taking a brutal wound but not falling. A parademon takes pot shots at Nebula, wearing her down.

Bleez, furious, launches a vicious attack at Kalibak instead of using mind control, taking the risk. Shockingly, she defeats the monstrous warrior.

Proxima finally lands a hit on Libra that should have grievously wounded him, but he deflects the damage onto a parademon, killing yet another grunt.

"I'm beginning to hate this creature," Proxima says.

Another shockwave hits, rattling the Apokoliptian vessel. Desaad finishes off Bleez with a psychic blast, knocking the winged creature to the ground. He's punished for his good work as, again, Proxima hits Libra, who masterminds the attack onto Desaad, defeating him.
Standing along, Libra fights back against ranged attacks from Nebula and close combat attacks by Proxima. He dodges multiple attacks from Nebula but it's finally Proxima who overcomes him at hand to hand combat.

The ships are rocked by another explosion. Their enemies defeated, Proxima Midnight and Nebula exchange glances. Nebula looks the one remaining, wounded Chitauri.

"Decouple the ships. I'll get to the helm," she says.

"Destroy all evidence we were here," Proxima Midnight says. "We can't have anyone knowing who we report to."

I love them disguising themselves

and while I pitched him for the sinestro corps, blastaar definitely fits apokalips too. he's got that same mad Lincoln look of kalibak and sweet jack kirby design. nice touches
