DC HEROCLIX BLACKEST NIGHT STARTER SET

The War of the Light comes to HeroClix with the DC HeroClix Blackest Night Starter Game! As the Blackest Night encompasses the world, heroes and villains alike are deputized into the Lantern Corps to fight back against the legions of Black Lanterns. Choose a team of lanterns and take them into battle! This starter game includes everything a player needs to play HeroClix, including figures, map, rules and more.

Contents:

• Seven 3D HeroClix miniatures, each with a character card (Green Lantern, Lex Luthor, Mera, Scarecrow, Wonder Woman, The Flash and The Atom in their deputy lantern costumes)
• All-new Green Lantern Sciencells Map
• 2010 HeroClix Complete Rulebook
• Six Object Tokens
• Twelve Terrain Markers
• Two 6-sided dice

It has been no secret what the Starter would be based on, but the character choices are pretty cool! The individual point values will probably be higher for each figure than previous Starters. As usual, expect more details as the release date approaches.

Update 1: added that snazzy picture that HCRealms member "Vectin" made by combining an image from Final Night #5 and the Starter Teaser from Wizkids.

Update 2: Wizkids previewed the Hal Jordan Green Lantern figure of their website.
