Lots of figs have snuck into the figure gallery includeing Capts, Iron Man and Warmachine.
Also let me say I'm glad Kije isn't collecting HC anymore since I don't want to have to play against that new Iron Man.

And here's the unique that comes with buying the brick Anthony Stark in very retro Iron Man armor, I would venture a guess and say that's the first Iron Man from way back.

Yeah, that was Iron Man from way back in #1. Classic robot invasion Iron Man
-
The new Cap is nice, but I like his ultimates version better sculpt- and dial-wise. Comparing vets, ultimates gives you a better dial (imo) for 12 points less.
And alas, that new Iron Man is nice. Great to have him with a solid attack value. That was always my gripe with the fig.

Look there's new news on the web!

blurry but gots most of the figs, also the people over at Hcrealms says its not much of a theme set unless it's supposed to be an X-man set since that's who most of the figs are.
sculpt/figure wise nothing too impressive to me, though I'm not that knowledgeable in Marvel. Though I do like the Magneto sculpt since it's different and the Shaman sculpt is cool looking as well as the Spidy (though lately all the Spidy sculpts have been good).

Well now looky here, the phonix for the mail-away with Armor was is different then the con-exclusive, she's on the X-Man team and has different stats.

Heh, the LE pog for the Armor Wars Marquee is Tony Stark.

Hooray! -- http://www.wizkidsgames.com/heroclix/marvel/figuregallery.asp?unitid=8774
Kind of lame, though, in that about half of Alpha Flight got put into X-Men instead of Avengers.
-
Humm...I wonder if the reason for Armor Wars being an Iron Man set has anything to do with a new Iron Man Cartoon that was announced around the same time. It's known that WK has to add certain figs that Marvel wants in for each set.

There's also an Ultimate Avengers cartoon in the works as well.

Too bad this isn't for sale

A table with Stark Indsutry set to Clix scale on it, and it's quite big.
-
That's pretty cool, especially the candy corn.
-
That table is super-fantastic.
I want one.

So for Clix today I decided to do a draft since I didn't have a team and got a great pull for my team:
V Cap. (http://www.wizkidsgames.com/heroclix/marvel/figures_dials.asp?dialid=9030&unitid=8790&universeid=4)
V Paladin (http://www.wizkidsgames.com/heroclix/marvel/figures_dials.asp?dialid=9087&unitid=8847&universeid=4)
V Diamond Lil (http://www.wizkidsgames.com/heroclix/marvel/figures_dials.asp?dialid=9041&unitid=8801&universeid=4)
E Quick Silver (http://www.wizkidsgames.com/heroclix/marvel/figures_dials.asp?dialid=9093&unitid=8853&universeid=4)
Paladin is a great fig and so is Cap, I only got second place but I lost to the guy who always plays the cheese teams (he had a LAMP team with 3 lockjaws, Joker with armor piercing, task master and Diamond Lil).
Though what I'm happy about is all the trading I did.
Traded an U Cyborg for
E Iron Man (http://www.wizkidsgames.com/heroclix/marvel/figures_dials.asp?dialid=9061&unitid=8821&universeid=4)
LE Roy Harper
Traded my second U Cyborg and some Titan Repeats I had for
U Ghost Widow
Traded LE Gar Logan for
U Flash (Icons) (http://www.wizkidsgames.com/heroclix/dc/figures_dials.asp?dialid=8873&unitid=8430&universeid=6)
And then traded REVs for
U Jocasta (http://www.wizkidsgames.com/heroclix/marvel/figures_dials.asp?dialid=9068&unitid=8828&universeid=4)
E War Machine (http://www.wizkidsgames.com/heroclix/marvel/figures_dials.asp?dialid=9129&unitid=8889&universeid=4)
I got the Iron Man for when Kije wanted to come and play and then someone wanted to trade their war machine so I got him since he's a cool fig and a nice complement to Iron Man.
What I'm surprised is that someone wanted to trade Ghost Widow for Cyborg.
-
This Saturday is the Marquee and I'm not sure if I'm going to go or not. On one had I haven't played since before Thanksgiving but on the other I don't feel like buying any more Clix until next month when I'm getting my CD brick.
-
The Armor Wars marquee is this week? How does that even makes sense?
-
Dono but this week is when every place in utah has it scheduled according to WK's site.
-
So someone had found my Vet ravager last November and brought her back to me, yea!
Also I traded my U magneto (ultimates) for U Ironman (armor wars) that's the classic gold on from 50 years ago.
-
New guy night was fun once things actually started. Kije played his typical team (Ironman, Cap, Hawkeye) but got beat by a CoV team (4 figs with mystics is a hard thing to get past). I played a new Batman Villain team using:
Vet Bane
E Manbat (Icons Starter)
Joker (Icons Starter)
Le Frieze
+Stunning Blow
Le Quinn
+Brilliant Tactician
BT worked great on this team, I almost killed Vet Darksied with Manbat alone but the guy playing him had 2 medics and just kept healing him up. But I did get him down to his last 3 clicks twice.
I also traded for a U Braniac from Icons, got him for a LE Hulk and my spare Spiderman from Armor Wars.

Mr. Frieze always was a dangerous opponent. And a decorative one.
