I am fairly new and don't know all the different team names out there apparently. I have learn what LAMPs, TK Nova Blast, Fill your team with all Oots batman, but i don't know what a SIF team is. IF its referring to the figure from HoT I don't see what she has to offer to be given the kinda rep I have seen thrown around the Realms.

SIF = Structural Integrity Field

Makes barriers indestructible - SIF with 2 barrier figures and a HSS means the whole army can hide behind an indestructible wall and plink you with HSS. Very lame, IMHO.

It'd be handy if we had a thread listing all the related Heroclix shortened abbreviations. Help out all the new players etc ^^

p.s. What ARE LAMP teams? Also, any others I should know about? :P

At least LAMPs had a cool theme, SIF doesn't seem fun at all, for either player.

Classic SIF Team

R Shazam
E Question (Origins)
Dr. Alchemy
SR Scarlet Witch

Mystical Theme, all warbounded.


This team won one of the last worlds. Basic strategy was to have shazam carry question, hit your figure, retreat behind an indestructible barrier.

Lather, Rinse, Repeat. Really sucks the fun out of the game

even worse actually ben won worlds with this exact team
R shazam!

with telephone booth and structual integrity field

In the original day of SIF teams, the goal was to do nothing but reinforce your Barriers and to win by underbuilding. The SIF "player" would bring a really underbuilt team and, since the old rules gave the win to the lowest-built team, the player who actually built close to the build limit had to try to figure out a way to get in the Barriers and cause some casualties.

Since then, the rules have changed, so that if there is a tie, you roll the dice to determine the winner. Nowadays, if I was going to face a double R Shazam + Barrier team, I would just stay on my side of the board. At least I'd have a 50% chance of winning the ONE die roll of the game (and therefore the game itself).

It's a Satanic ritual performed by evil HeroClix players.

OMG... I never thought to play a structural integrity field object with my barrier teams...

Totes my goats gonna do this once.

This is an old thread. Structural Integrity Field got errata to only work on printed terrain.
