HeroClix, the #1 collectible miniatures game in the world, celebrated its 20th anniversary last year. And despite its longevity, WizKids Games continues to add exciting new features and upgrades to both the rules and mechanics of the game as well as the figures themselves. They’ve never been afraid to try new things, which is why over the years we’ve gotten characters from dozens of licensed properties, interactive base elements, removable parts, swappable figures, speech balloons, ring constructs, and so much more.
Recently WizKids launched the HeroClix Iconix line, figures that bring memes and famous scenes from comics, animation, and films to life. And now, we’re excited to share that they’re back again with a brand-new announcement that’s going to get new players, veterans, and collectors really excited; we’re getting vehicles, glow in the dark effects, and more with the upcoming Marvel HeroClix Wheels of Vengeance set!
Keep reading to check out the full press release and exclusive preview images featuring figures that are going to look as cool on your shelf or desk as they will on the gaming table.
Marvel HeroClix Wheels of Vengeance – Introducing New Hero-Glo Effects
The crackle of flames, the rattle of chains, the revving of an engine – it’s the unmistakable sound of GHOST RIDER! Experience the Spirit of Vengeance like never before in this bone-chilling HeroClix set!
Each booster contains three regular figures and one oversized figure that is sure to stand out on the tabletop. As the name suggests, Wheels of Vengeance emphasizes some of the coolest two-wheelers to ever roll across the pages of your favorite comics. However, you will also find mythical mounts like the eight-legged Sleipnir and even the Headless Horseman! Whether you like vampires, vampire hunters, mummies, mysticism, or high-speed motorcycle hijinks – this set has something for you!
On the gameplay side, there are two new takes on vehicles: non-unique equipment that will allow you to get your whole team on motorcycles and “pop-off” style characters reminiscent of the old motorcycle-mounted Black Widow’s “TIME TO GET OFF THE BIKE” ability. When a vehicle-riding character is KO’d, a sidelined pilot character can be placed in their last occupied square to continue the action! There’s also a running mechanical theme of Fire in this set, where some characters make a special kind of smoke terrain that deals damage to anyone that stands in it for too long.
There are more than 60 figures to collect, and nearly a third of them feature Hero-Glo treatment, which will give them a slick glow-in-the-dark effect. As we continue to ramp up the toyetic and collectible nature of HeroClix with products like Iconix, we also want to play around with some twists to the physical format of the miniatures. In addition to delivering badass gameplay, we want to find new ways to make HeroClix figures into hot collectibles. Through other upcoming sets and Iconix products, we will be integrating additional special effects to give figures textures and styles that are highly collectible and boost mass-market appeal!
