Heroclix Chase worth owning

Galactic Guardians: Chase Thanos #49

Why? He's difficult to play @ 350pts but he is amazingly fun to set out on the board and just wreak house.


Chaos War: Sentry and Void #57

Sentroid was a game breaker. He could use multi attack to hypersonic speed twice. It literally broke the game. It was an awful feeling to sit down at a table with this guy across from you. If there was a game you NEEDED to win, this was the guy to play.

Incredible Hulk: Wolverage #51

At 120pts he's quite affordable on competitive teams, and with very stable numbers and loads of damage as well as the ability to transform into self healing Wolverines, it makes this piece well worth his points.

Captain America: Rojhaz #63

Rojhaz is no one man army, but point for point no other character busts stealth like Rojhaz, nor does he take up that much space on a 300pt team. He can take out any Batman with his special attack, traited stealth gives him a boost as well as his combat reflexes. Rojhaz also only commands $10 on the secondary market so he won't brake the bank, but he will rake in the points.

 

Hammer of Thor: Thor, Frog of Thunder #100


Throg is a 72 point beat stick. Just push him off the first click and use your remaining 4 to pass out damage as you see fit, but the caveat here is that to purchase one WILL cost you an arm, a leg, and your first TWO children. Ok, he's not THAT expensive, but $40 is pretty expensive for a figure that only has 5 clicks and the first one only has toughness.

 

 Batman: The Insider #55


The Insider is Bruce Wayne returned from the future that Darkseid tossed him into. He might be the greatest 100pt taxi ever. He can taxi in for 7 squares for free. It makes ranged combat expert figs devastating because he can drop in and pull out every turn. Not only that, he himself can drop into combat and attack from stealth for an enhanced 9 move running shot! He is fairly cheap on ebay at about $10-$20 right now, and at the price it's a steal!

 

 Superman: Superman #57

 This figure is annoying on it's own, but pair him with the likes of the Eradicator from the same set and this piece really starts to shine. This Superman's trait is that when he is KO'd the first time he gets set back to click #6 and all his stats are up by +1, as well as any other character whose trait is Reign of the Supermen. Those two are my go to team when I want to play a quick but lazy team. Theme team bonus on a 300pt game gives me enough probability control to work with, and at about $10 he's cheap enough to get without going broke.

That's pretty much it. White Lantern Sinestro isn't a chase per se, but really worth getting, as are most of the White Lanterns but Sinestro is on the top of that heap. Crisis 100 and 105 are great, but way, WAY too expensive, and very limited in being actually able to play them. Lamppost and Sinestro Batman are also way too expensive to purchase and use.
