Web of Spider-man ATAs

Wizkids has been [slowly] releasing the ATAs for Web of Spider-man over the past two weeks.  While the method of release may not be preferred, the content it quite a boost for the game.  ATAs make Theme Team building even more beneficial and allow you to get a theme team that may be a few points shy of the build into a competitive force.

Now go ahead and Print and Play 'til your heart is content!  These, like all other, Print and Play items are tournament legal the day they are posted.

Another WoS ATA: U-Foes

Get more punch against those big opponents with the U-Foes ATA.

A busy week worth of updates.

While I've been having a very busy time at both work and home (all very good, though), Wizkids has been dazzling the interwebs with a ton of news.

Information about the Watchmen set continues to come in from Wizkids and Alliance.

The Brightest Day set is coming at us (and is a mere $24.99).

And Web of Spider-man is coming down the pipes with a reprint of the Fantastic Four Starter wit the new updated rules.

For the tournament scene we have a big change to a strategy favorite Special Object Structural Integrity Field.

Structural Integrity Field 

0 points

Blocking terrain (but not blocking terrain markers) and walls 6 or fewer squares from this object can’t be destroyed.

Plus, today We get an updated set of Players Guides AND our introduction to Alternate Team Abilities!

I would suggest that everyone planning on attending origins or Gen-Con study up sooner rather than later!  (Very soon for Origins since it is NEXT WEEKEND!)  Also remember that the Rules from Blackest Night as well ass the material from the Players Guide and the Print and Play ATAs are legal as of posting so keep that in mind at this weekend's events!

And about those ATA's look below!
