DC Starter Set 2026

The Flash model looks cool, but a pain to use on the table and no good as a figure for role-playing.  And that leaping Batman will probably tower over some giants.

 

2026 Heroclix releases

 

 

Iconix: Stranger things

Based on the fantastic series, yes I am a big fan of Stranger Things

Don't know much more about this set but I am personally looking forward to this.

X-Men 400

Set of four figures totalling 400 points.

These are meant to be ready made Teams.  So far they 400 sets have had a mixed reception

Venom

Full set including a Terrain pack.

Personally I'm not a fan of Venom other that the original Black suit story, I'll be giving this a miss.

Iconix: Thundercats

Based off the 80's cartoon series

It includes Mum-Ra but has no Snarf.  Still, this is a must buy.

Marvel 2026 Starter Set

Includes four figures, maps and tokens.

Iconix: Hercules

I find this one a bit of a random release.  Comes with Hercules & Hydra figures

Fight for Gotham Map & Terrain kit

A couple of figures, map & terrain tokens.  

I'm presuming these are replacing the Play at Home kits introduced during lockdown.

Fight for Gotham City

Full set.  There are also going to be Vault boosters available from stores.  This is going to cause UK buyers an issue.

UK releases are still not coming through in a timely manner, but the Vault Boosters don't appear to be available from Wizkids direct. If I can't buy the Vault boosters online then I won't but the regular one either.  Poor move Wizkids.

DC 2026 Starter Set

Includes four figures, maps and tokens.

X of Swords

 X of Swords

It sucks!

The worst set, worst sculpts, worst stats!  It sucks!

May 2022

 Bring on your Meta team, I'm going to play what I'm going play.

Empyre

 Well, one minor surgery later and it's clix night at Stourbridge Wargamers.

Decided to have fun, winning wasn't necessary.

Detective

Assassin

X-Men

Empyre is also released, but only the starter and a few choice figures for me.

I really wasn't happy with the majority of sculpts in X-Men Rise and Fall, but they do seem to have improved this set.

Halloween Heroclix

 🎃 Halloween Heroclix 🎃

At Wayland's Forge

Legion of Monsters

Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, Morbius and Manphibian

Monster

Vampire Batman, Man-Bat, Blight, Grim Reaper, Vampire, Witch

Far from Meta, but great fun.

Happy Halloween 🎃

Heroclix Unlocked!

Finally the UK lockdown rules have been relaxed, I'm double vaxxed up and ready to roll some dice.

My laptop is pretty much dead, so I'm flip flopping back to the blog as I can't easily update the website, but please still check out www.ugavine.com

First Heroclix game in over year.

Had four teams;

- a Fantastic Four team without the main cast.  Instead I had the recent She-Hulk, Blackbeard, Black Panther, Adolf Impossible and fast forces Doctor Doom.  Actually won against a Trinity team from the new Wonder Woman 80th set.  New Superman is tough, but Batman is not that great.

- JLU Animated next with Amazo with Batman and The Question as support.  Lost against an Outwitting Doctor Doom, mystical being Amazos weakness.

- and no luck for my new Amazons team, though that was totally down to my traditional bad dice rolling.

- finally I threw in an old team of Captain America, Spider-Man and Hulk.  Went up against OP kit Dormammu, but was lucky enough for Hulk to get knocked onto his special Click 11.  And it was game over Dormammu.

Great day of Heroclix at Wayland's Forge.
