DC HeroClix: The Flash – Delayed

Posted on by

DC HeroClix The FlashOver on their website, Wizkids has announced that the newest Heroclix set, DC Heroclix: The Flash has been delayed. Originally to be released next week, the sets will now be released one week later, November 12. So that’s not that big of a delay.

This applies to three releases, including the booster bricks, organized play kit, and the fast forces pack.

The delay is due to congestion at the Los Angeles port. The congestion is reportedly due to multiple reasons including shortages in capacity for both rail and trucking, delays in truckers obtaining their own chassis, railroad delays in providing railcars and equipment, vacation for dock workers, customs, and terminal appointments. It’s a mess.

Expect it to happen for a while and hit multiple items that need to come through that port.

Wizkids Debuts the DC HeroClix: Gen13 John Lynch

Posted on by

d-018-john-lynch-1024x536Wizkids has begun to show off figures from the upcoming DC HeroClix: Gen13 2014 Monthly Organized Play kit! The kit will have 3 limited edition figures not found anywhere else, and all three figures can be used with the Gen13 or Villains for Hire team bases from DC HeroClix: The Teen Titans.

The first figure to be shown off is Gen13’s mentor and the leader of Team 7, John Lynch! The figure clocks in at 93 points with a range of six squares. Like any good leader, the figure works behind the scenes as support. His improved movement, called Working in the Shadows, allows him to ignore hindering terrain when he moves.

The trait, Double Agent, gives him and friendly characters with the Gen13 or Team 7 keywords access to either the Police or Underworld team abilities. Choose one of the team abilities at the beginning of the game.

John Lynch’s second trait, Field Leader, allows him to be played on the #T-004 Gen13 team base from the DC HeroClix: The Teen Titans set. Field Leader lets John Lynch replace #034 Grunge on the Gen13 team base. Additionally, while John Lynch is attached to the team base, instead of Grunge’s Asset power it uses the following one that prevents opposing characters within 4 squares from using Outwit.

The figure’s third trait is called Secret Spymaster, and lets friendly characters use Mastermind, but only to transfer damage to higher point friendly characters with the Gen13 or Spy keywords.

Lynch’s first click has Telekinesis to place the rest of his team into position while Sidestep lets him stay out of the way until he’s needed. In the damage slot is a special power called Decades of Tradecraft, which lets him use Leadership, Outwit and Stealth. In the defense slot, Toughness represents Lynch’s body armor.

Lynch’s second click has Combat Reflexes in place of Toughness. On the third click he switches out Telekinesis for Pulse Wave. Defensively, he picks up Energy Shield/Deflection.

Energy Shield/Deflection sticks around for Lynch’s last two clicks but Sidestep moves over for Stealth and Decades of Tradecraft disappears in favor of Enhancement. Telekinesis returns for a click before John Lynch closes out his dial with Pulse Wave.

Wizkids Debuts The Flash and Bizarro Flash

Posted on by

019a-the-flash-1024x536Wizkids has started to debut figures from their upcoming DC Heroclix: The Flash set. Up first, they’ve got two version of The Flash!

The Flash has improved movement that allows him to ignore elevated terrain. There’s also a cool trait called Speed Force, in which every time the figure moves one square and hits one or more adjacent characters you add a Speed token on the card after actions resolved. You can increase the figure’s speed value by the number of Speed tokens on the card… But there’s more too!

Another trait called Faster Than Thought allows him to use Super Senses, and once per turn remove a token to re-roll a Super Senses roll. Also, a special power called Flash Fact allows you to gain additional powers to more tokens you have. When he has two tokes he has Empower, 3 there’s Enhancement, 4 it’s Probability Control. On top of it, they stack!

Add in 13 movement with Hypersonic speed, an 11 attack, 3 damage, and natural 18 defense that he can share with Defend for 130 points, and you have the center of a really fun team full of speed.

019b-bizarro-flash-1024x536Wizkids has also premiered an uncommon Prime figure, Bizarro Flash. Much like the regular Flash figure, this one can also has the Speed Force trait as described above, where you gains tokens. He also has a trait called Slow Force, where if he misses all his attacks, he gets a token.

Bizarro Flash’s attack special power called Slow Dowwwwwwwwn which allows a free action to remove a Speed token from his card. If you do, other characters within 8 squares can’t use Hypersonic Speed until your next turn. The other special power is called Picking Up The Pace and shows up in his mid to late dial. This allows him to use Flurry and Close Combat Expert. Remove a Speed token from this card and you may activate Close Combat Expert with a close combat attack this turn.

The figure starts out with Sidestep, Toughness and Perplex that switches to Outwit on click 2. Mid dial he can use Charge which does overlap with both special powers and Super Senses.

Click 6 brings the use of Hypersonic Speed, Precision Strike and his special Pick Up The Pace power. Hypersonic Speed allows you to give Bizarro Flash a power action and during his movement make a close combat attack which if he had a Speed token could be used to active Close Combat Expert.

Bizarro Flash finishes out his dial with Hypersonic Speed, Precision Strike, Impervious and Outwit. Bizarro Flash comes in at 111 points.
