Intrigued by Heroclix? You'd like to know what it's like before buying into it? This is a quick overview of the game to help new players get a sense of it.
Thanks for this Video. i just stumbled across an old box jam packed with Clix while unpacking and I couldn't remember all the details of play. This really helped!
I got a question about collecting them, Because i were searching for the booster box he talked about in this video but could not find it anywhere on internet to buy only boxes you could buy for like 100 dollar and then you get 8 boxes. Isnt there a way to just buy 1 or 2 boxes.
I have to say, these are some of the most impressive and useful videos in all of table top gaming. Your production value, clarity of voice and sound, clarity of instruction, and enthusiasm for heroclix is beyond impressive. Thank you so much, please keep up the amazing videos. I will always share these videos with anyone wanting to learn Heroclix, like me, as they are the best.
Thank you very much. I'm glad the effort is appreciated. I'm working on the X-Men team ability and another installment of the Swarm/Noopff series. Thanks for watching and commenting so positively.
I'll keep watching and spreading the word. As someone new to heroclix, your videos more than any other resource have equipped me to learn/start playing without having an experienced player on had to teach me fact to face. Thanks again.
You've made my life so much easier as I can just send people this video when they ask about it - thank you :') Great production value makes a huge difference as most people just sort of hold figures up and you can barely see them. Also, while I haven't been looking since I've been playing since the start, I haven't seen other people makes this specific video, only "how to play" tutorials which are about an hour long. Love the game, though they don't exactly make it easy for new people to pick it up. I'm always asked by friends I introduce it to if there's a rulebook they can look at and I have to explain that there is but... it's like 28 pages and it's not correct anymore.
Wonderful! Glad to help. As you may know, new rules came out late August 2017 and many videos published before that date need some updating, but I hope you'll find them entertaining and a little helpful just the same ;o).
Wonderful! I'm glad I could help. I still remember my first few games very well and having trouble with all these rules... but discovering them, and I'm not just saying that, is really part of the fun. Each time, and I still do, discover something new - a new strategy or combination of powers/characters - the game is renewed and the team building experience is always more interesting. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you very much! I hope it helps get a sense of the game. I just watched it again and it seems to hold pretty well after almost a year. I could update it with the new Core Rulebook and PAC, but that would take time away from other videos... Your thoughts?
The Tabletop Teacher - I think it does exactly what it is supposed to do. explains the concept without getting too technical. I don't think it needs to be updated.
now I just show this video to friends that I am trying to get to play heroclix. This is by far the best intro video to heroclix that I have seen. thank you!
This was a great beginners guide well done im going to share this with a friend of mine thats a Spiderman fan just was not sure the correct way to explain it to be honest I felt as if this was a school video an I was hooked I caint wait to watch the others great work
Great Video intro to the game been sent here by GlassCabinet and he was full of praise I will be sharing this video on my clix page and on the main page of the Comic shop I play this could inspire new players which is always helpful.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy the videos and hope they can help lots of new players enjoy this amazing game. Special thanks to GlassCabinet as well: one my favorite channels! A pioneer!
I found a few of these at some collectibles shop. Out of curiosity I grabbed a random three and got Black Manta, US Agent, and Mano. They’re more so collectibles for me but I like learning how to actually play the game.
great intro! i saw your other vids and have some suggestions. you didnt really explain HOW to attack. if you plan on this being a full series id like to see seperate vids for map terrain, attacks, size differences and even all the powers. like all red powers in one vid, all orange, all yellow etc. great work! subd and liked! cant wait to see what else you do!
Thank you, Alex... Love your suggestion. I will definitely explain how to in the series and I think I will roll that up with the nuances around Power Actions and Combat (Close or Ranged) Actions. There's so much to explain in this game! I'm not sure about grouping powers by colors, though. From a learning standpoint, the choice of color to identify each power is somewhat arbitrary and I'm not sure it helps to understand the powers... If you take the grey powers for instance, there's no link per se between Running Shot, Telekinesis, Invulnerability and Leadership. I only found three characters that have these powers on the same click (Cable from the Deadpool seires, and two older versions of Green Lantern). Map terrain (along with destroying objects and walls) and size differences are among the topics I want to talk about soon. Thanks again for your suggestion and your constructive input!
I watched 2 guys play this daily for about 6 months and throw ridiculous amounts of money looking for rare characters and I still didn't figure out how to play it. I will admit the collecting seemed like fun. One of those guys a got a super rare character that he later sold for a around $800
On some Wonder Woman 80 character cards there are multiple KO areas. ie. Wonder Woman #017. Could you explain to me what you think that means? how to use the character?
I want Halo Wars 2 and Halo infinite HeroClix. I want a Banished scarab and Banished wraith for sure!! Please heroclix creators make it happen! Halo infinite comes out next month
Great videos, very professional!!! I like the play mat you have in some of your videos (it looks like it is made of plastic or rubber) can you tell us what it is and where it came from? Thanks again.
Thank you very much; glad you enjoyed them. The high quality maps you see in some videos are the Heroclix premium maps by Wizkids (wizkids.com/heroclix/premium-maps/). You can get them at your local game shop or online. The ones you might have seen in Tabletop Teacher videos are the Gaming Convention map and the Parking Garage. Thanks for watching and commenting!
So I feel I got the hang of it ready to go against myself now the problom is some of my teams are unbalanced or say so like one may have a hundred point and one may have a 95 point in there team does it make a difference because in the end I tried making 2 teams have 4 people each wish I had more 50 s and see how a big battle goes but I know small armies and large ones work but I don't want one to be over power to each other
A 5-point difference will not really make teams unbalanced. Like in any game, there are weaker figures, OK figures, strong figures and overpowered figures; IMHO, that's where balance is really found (or not). The player's experience is also a huge factor, of course. But don't worry too much about a team being 5 or even 10 points lower than another one... That's rarely a game changer when you start playing. I would strongly suggest getting more figures so you can build a couple of 300 point teams, though (aim for 3 or 4 figures per team).
Thanks for your question, Matt. My suggestion is to get the latest starter set. Right now, this would be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles starter set. You'll get the latest printed rules, Powers an Abilities card and much more. You could also go for the Superior Foes of Spider-Man Fast Forces, but you'll have to print your own rules and Powers card. I really think you're better off with the TMNT starter and, if you can, throw in at least a couple of Gravity Feed boosters for fun. Let me know how your first game went... Have fun!
I was looking at both, was considering a Stater pack and a whole box of gravity boosters. But Uncanny Xmen and Foes look good, But not sure where I would find maps or what not.
Sometimes, game shops have extra maps for sale. You can find some on eBay as well, if need be. But a nice Powers and Abilities card is really nice to have... I'd say, get the TMNT starter set and then splurge on whatever other set speaks to you. Foes is a great choice and all your character cards would printed in the same way (with dial values on the back).
Thanks again, Ended up ordering a Uncanny X-men Booster Brick, a bunch of maps, tokens, dice and a 24 Box of X-Men Wolverine and the X-men. I know it is out of Modern, but since I will play with a few people I know, figured they would fit in together. Do you know if Booster Bricks come with Cards or is it all Print out, I don't mind either way. Just thought I'd ask.
Do you mean the base dial (black disc)? You just need to find the one in the bottom and turn it clockwise. Some older game pieces have an outer cover that you need to turn from the base of the sculpt (or what I like to call "The B").
Hey so I just bought this today got mabye 8 people and a paper back playing field and the guy threw in a token well uh ima be watching how to play but I may have questions so if it's stupid just know I'm new to this I have played majic so mabye I'm learn this early on
The Tabletop Teacher ok thankyou at the moment I don't have tokens do you think I can make makeshift ones for the time being the ones youse for actions
Matt Robe, yes of course. Beads or small coins on the side of the base are not the most elegant solution, but will certainly will the trick. No worries there at all. Some experienced players still prefer beads after years of play.
The Tabletop Teacher ok great well I'm still watching your videos but I am going to try and do a 300 point team against another 300 point team from the videos and rules I have read thanks for your help and thanks to the Smokey mountain hobbies shop for helping me get into this
I feel like if I get this game and get invested i will have noone to play with. I might end up just buying figures to buy them and set them on my empty shelves. Especially the x23 one.
What you're talking about is one of the main missions of the game shop I'm about to open. People who want to play Heroclix (and other games), can't always easily find fellow players. "La boutique Tabletop" will be such a place where you can learn to play games with other people who share your curiosity. The thing is, not everybody can make the trip to St-Joseph-du-Lac, Quebec, Canada. But I'm sure that if you mention your interest for Heroclix at your FLGS, they just might try to recruit some more players. It doesn't have to be a competitive league to be fun!
is this a expensive game? how much to spend to get a decent win rate? bought a pack from dark panther illuminati got captain britain, is he any good? thanks
wow, the first video series about heroclix that doesn't assume I know something already. Great Job
That's a great compliment to read, thanks! Glad the videos can help. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I’ve been looking for a brief overview of HeroClix. This is one of the best I’ve found!
Thanks for this Video. i just stumbled across an old box jam packed with Clix while unpacking and I couldn't remember all the details of play. This really helped!
I’ve been collecting heroclix since I was little, never had anyone to play with so I just got into the collecting side.
I got a question about collecting them, Because i were searching for the booster box he talked about in this video but could not find it anywhere on internet to buy only boxes you could buy for like 100 dollar and then you get 8 boxes. Isnt there a way to just buy 1 or 2 boxes.
@@St333ve_ no not unless there’s a vendor online or someone on ebay selling it.

This is FANTASTIC Work.
Out of all the channels and videos out there for newby heroclix players looking to watch and learn to play, yours are the best, thank you
Thank you very much; I'm very glad to help people discover and enjoy this amazing game! Thanks for watching and commenting.
This is awesome, I'm just getting into the playing(been collecting for a while) and this is really a helper!
Wonderful! Glad to help. As you may know, new rules came out late August 2017 and many videos published before that date need some updating, but I hope you'll find them entertaining and a little helpful just the same ;o).
Awesome video! Perfect for new players! Subscribed!

New to the channel. Iv had a few heroclix from my oldest bro and iv always been interested but now im finally learning how to play
Fantastic and concise videos.
Please keep up the great content.
You are doing a wonderful job of explaining everything.
Thank you, Sir.
Thank you very much, Sir. It's very nice to read comments like yours. Concise (and fantastic ;o) is what I aim for. Thanks for subscribing.
I have sent at least 20 people to this video when they get curious. love the work you put into it.
Thank you very much! I hope it helps get a sense of the game. I just watched it again and it seems to hold pretty well after almost a year. I could update it with the new Core Rulebook and PAC, but that would take time away from other videos... Your thoughts?

Thanks! Your feedback is very helpful. I'll concentrate on all the new rules that will eventually be out!
now I just show this video to friends that I am trying to get to play heroclix. This is by far the best intro video to heroclix that I have seen. thank you!
My pleasure and thank you very much! I hope your friends will have fun learning the game with these videos.
Been playing the game for years, lost interest, and got it back thanks to your channel.
Wonderful! That's quite the compliment, thank you. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I miss this game !!

I kinda just found out this was a thing because of my love for Funkoverse
I found a few of these at some collectibles shop. Out of curiosity I grabbed a random three and got Black Manta, US Agent, and Mano. They’re more so collectibles for me but I like learning how to actually play the game.
Seems pretty interesting

Oh no, this game looks awesome and with so much content... I will need to restrain myself to not go broke once I get into this XD
Where can I see which figures are obsolete?
I want Halo Wars 2 and Halo infinite HeroClix. I want a Banished scarab and Banished wraith for sure!! Please heroclix creators make it happen! Halo infinite comes out next month

The Tabletop Teacher oh I got 300 point teams just tried having good pieces on each team
How about some videos on team bases and resource dials?
Both topics are on the very long list! I will most probably cover resources way before team bases, though.
Thanks for your video request!
can you play a game with dc and marvel characters?
Absolutely! The only pieces you cannot mix with the more usual sets are Star Trek Tactics ships.
Been thinking of trying this, What is a good starter set or set to buy. So many different ones I am confused
Thanks for your question, Matt. My suggestion is to get the latest starter set. Right now, this would be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles starter set. You'll get the latest printed rules, Powers an Abilities card and much more.

How do I change the slider thing lol I’m new
