First off thank you for taking the time to read this.

I need some help as I am a newer clix player and I was just added into a very competitive league of players. This league also requires a weird set of team construction and it's because of that I need help. The rules are as follows.

Create a 300 point theme team (this will be your founding members).
Each month an aditional 75 pts will be added to the build total and the team no longer has to be a theme team.
Your founding team members must be included in the team construction of each month however only real names are counted (so if i used captain america in my founding team i can use any captain america in later builds in place of the original cap as long as they share a real name).
No special objects are allowed until month 4 and resources are banned.
At the beginning of month 4 you pick a member of your founding team members to be the leader of the team.
The leader of the team gains leadership as a trait and as an additional benefit they are automatically equipped with a special item of your choice that is between 5 and 10 pts that takes up no pts from your build total.

The winner of the league gets a brick of the latest set when the league ends which I believe is 6 months.

So as you can see as a new player this is very intimidating. Not only am I up against a bunch of extremly competitive players but the team building rules are difficult as well.

For my team I would like to do a soldiers team. I have both General RAAM and the Jaegers from Pacific Rim so I can dish out some punishment later. The problem lies within the first couple months of building teams. My clux collection is small however the people at my lgs are very willing to help me with clix I need so feel free to suggest any clix at all. My only request is that RAAM is on the founding team.

If you need any clarification on the league rules or my wants for a team do not hesitate to ask me. Again thank you for taking the time to read all of this and thank you for any help you can give me.

Have a good day.

i'd say it really depends on available models... offhand i would say

gen raam 151
captain america 83 (peanut base from cap set)
col hardy 60 (from target man of steel boosters)
=294

there are alot of good cap models out there, that one shouldn't be too hard to get and is one of the better imo... hardy can give other friendly models of lower points and soldier keyword willpower w/in 8 squares and cas telekinesis to help get models where they need to be (well... except for double based cap and eventual jaegers...)

mainly i'd just try to use some models you can name swap out later (stating w/ a jaeger instead of raam might work better for that earlier on?)

I kind of like

General Raam 151
Thing (SI) 100
Domino (MM) 46

Gives you PC (which I think is a must on any team), you have leadership with RAAM to give to the thing and leadership from THING to give to both RAAM and Domino. I honestly wouldn't choose RAAM as my guy, especially if your local players are extremely competitive. However, if fun is slightly more important, then go for it! I do love using figures I don't get to use much.

I really like that THING fig and will probably use that.
What do you think about Thunderbolt Ross and then switching to Red Hulk later? Are any of the Red Hulk's good?
I want to use RAAM because nobody around me has figured out how to fight him yet so he is almost as broken as Thanos where I play especially with this lava map that I use him on (and yes I really want to play him as well).

Defnitely try to find a domino for PC, you will need it to stabalize your luck. After the build grows though, I would say definitely add Ross (since he doesn't cost much). However I don't think Red Hulk will add much later on. Also, if you get REV set for Domino, you can switch in an out depending on what the costs are of other figures (gives you around 17 points to play up or down with). You can also get her GSX version too.

just my opinion but you want the GF Ross, not the main set one.

also, try to get a ih102 Major Glenn Talbot

ih102 U Major Glenn Talbot

Bump for help

Build
151 GOW009 General RAAM
98 CA043 Darkstar
50 FFSOG002 Lady Blackhawk
299

I've had a lot of luck with this solider team. Darkstar is an amazing support piece and secondary attacker and Lady Blackhawk can carry Raam anywhere plus when the build totally increases you can use her to carry some of the slower soldiers up the board and don't forget about halo clix as some of them can increase Ramm grenade pool when the build get's higher.

The problem with this team though is that I'm stuckwith those figs for the entire league and I'm not sure they'll hold up so well later. They are good early but are they up to the task later when the builds will include a lot stronger figs?

Have you looked at Darkstar free smoke, Tk, and Barrier. Goes into psy Blast and has Incap at the end. Blakhawks ability to carry up to 4 soldiers into battle is amazing.

I'm telling you as you build grows you'll be glad you picked them as your core figures at the very least I think you should give Darkstar a second look, Lady Blakhawk can be replaced.

Do you think Darkstar is good enough to cut SI THING though? I feel like I need some sort of Tank on this team since RAAM can't take a lot of punishment and that THING seems pretty good with RAAM since they can Leadership each other...

Also I'm not really sure about Lady Blackhawk... Are there any other figs you would suggest for the remaining points?

you've got the 40 point howling commandos that have perplex.
Extremis Mercenary From Iron man starter they are pretty sweet.
Autopilot Military tanks the when the build get's higher can become piloted tanks
lots of easy company medics could be good as well considering the experienced is only 16 points has support and the PD TA.

One of either Blackhawk or Darkstar I think is a good idea. Bit I still thin someone needs to take the damage...do you have any ideas for a tank or do you think I even need a tank?
