Holiday treats from Wizkids! Oh yeah, some news about some game too...

Wizkids' Website had a great message from friend of the game (and Wizkids honcho) Justin Ziran, just in time for the holiday.

Introductions, Updates and a Turkey


He covers the basics of what is going down at the new Wizkids HQ in Hillside, some insights into other product lines return, and potential new lines that may come from the union of NECA an Wizkids.

At the end of the article (really, go read it it full of good stuff) there is a fun little peice for folks to use at home: The Turkey!

This bird is a potent 5 poultry for just points. He possesses the Special Power Food Coma.
Food Coma (tryptophan) Turkey can use Incapacitate as a close combat attack targeting all adjacent characters. After that action resolves, deal one damage to Turkey for each character targeted this way.
That a good trick for just 5 points. Finding ways to maximize the effect the bird has on the battlefield could include adding something keep him from taking damage (like the Life Model decoy Feat) or controlling the battle field so he can spring his Incap attack on as many vulnerable foes as possible.

Wizkids used another popular information outlet, their Facebook Fan page (you're a fan of Wizkids, right?), the Turducken Special Object.


The Turducken (proof that Paula dean is in league with Dr. Doom) is an Immobile Object that can't be destroyed by an attack. But a character with no Action Tokens who is adjacent to the Turducken can be given a Power Action to remove it from the game. That's a power tool when fielding a Stealth reliant team (or to help counter the stealth of your opponent) bu having a piece of hindering terrain that can't be taken out of the game without sacrificing the action of a completely action token free character.

Check with your local Venues to see it they have ant events where these pieces can be fielded.

Questions and Answers on Hammer of Thor.



I started a thread at the BuyMeToys.com Message Board to answer questions and announce rulings on the new pieces. That is for use specifically at BuyMeToys.com but feel free to assume the answers are correct, you may wish to ask the presiding Judge if you are playing elsewhere.

If you have questions ake them here and I will put the answers there as well.

8 days Until the Hammer hits!


Well folks, we only have 8 short days until our year long wait for new Clix ends. Many of the pieces have been previewed on several sources. This set has a little bit for most folks. Aspects of Annihilation War/Guardians of the Galaxy, Thunderbolts, Avengers, and of course Thor make appearances.

The other thing we're looking forward to is the return of Organized Play supported by Wizkids! This is great. The venues have been supporting this product, during the down time in various ways, but getting fresh prized for Winners and Fellowship is really exciting.

Over the next three months (or so) we have five brand new LE figures, three brand new Event Dials, three new FEATS, 2 brand new Alternate Team ability Feats and a brand new Battlefield condition to compete for. Top it off with a brand new Asgardian map to duke it out on and we're in a for quite a treat.
