So once they start showing up as singles they might make some low cost conversion fodder for all sorts of armies or terrain. Now sure of sizes but Heroclix is 28mm.



Hello Dark Eldar something or another



Hello new armored limo.



Hello Ork tank.

Would you like to know more?

Or use them as Heroclix. It's a fun game in itself.

Touche!

They'll be about the same size as the previously released Haloclix Warthog. They use the same base.

Grats heroclix, you've made THE WORST batmobile ever. I hope you're proud that you beat out Schumacher

I love that Batmobile, it's clearly a Batmobile but with both hot rod and hummer influences.

I ain't kidding, if these are reasonably cheap I'll pick up a few to use as armored limos/terrain/whatever.

You missed some:

Wow! I never expected to see the Haunted Tank in a game. I thought DC had forgotten about all of its WWII genre comics and deposited their memory into deep carbon storage deposits in West Virginia.

I am not crazy about any of the vehicles for 40K but I can certainly see some uses for them in skirmish games.

Hmm, the Blue Beetles beetle repainted for Thousand Sons...

Hold the phone, did they seriously make a Jeb Stuart's Haunted Tank toy? That's basically the best thing ever.

That police cruiser would be slick for zombie skirmish games.

I am curious to see how vehicles play in clix, though.

Depending on size/scale issues and price - I'm in!

Will these be sold in their own boxes or are they part of the whole "buy a brick and maybe, just maybe it's in there" scheme they use for this game?

Note no Confederate flag though...

Yeah but there's tons of similar 1/48 die casts out there. I wish they'd done with the retro GCPD cars from the animated series.

Hmm, interesting - certainly some potential there.

I don't see Wonder Woman's plane!

What are you talking about?

It's right here!

Ditto...once removed from the bases these are going to be great for modern/near future skirmish games, both as active models and terrain.

They've been using a "super booster" system for a while now. Bricks contain 8 boosters and one super booster. Each super booster is blind, but is guaranteed to contain a colossal figure (or in this case, a vehicle).

Usually the singles market will have the commons for fairly cheap.

Clix are made from the worst kind of plastic. Enjoy your purchases because your conversion attempts will leave you disappointed.

Not so sure about that. The Clix conversions I did years and years ago have held up better than several conversions I've done for GW games.

I've not gotten any of the huge Clix but the Star Wars Huges were made from stiff styrene rather than bendy plastic.

If those models prove popular within the Heroclix community they'll sell for upwards of 40-50$ US. Those boxes are blind pulls (meaning the buyer doesn't know what he's buying) when purchased retail so it really bolsters the price of those models on the secondary market (because that vehicle box will retail at 30-35$ US). Large size models always sell for a pretty penny in the Heroclix community.

But some of those models are definitely conversion worthy.

I'd like about four out of six of those vehicles just for the Heroclix itself. For those wondering those vehicles will be made out of the harder plastic, not the bendy stuff used in their man sized figs.

The base is listed as 2 x 4 whatever that means.

A Heroclix map is divided into 1.5 by 1.5 inch squares. So 3 inch by 6 inch base on those models.

Also the Bug ( Blue Beetle's ride) is actually on a 3 x 4 base.

If they're anything like the previous vehicles they've done(Warthog, Banshee), they'll be hard plastic instead of what the standard figures are made of. I hope they'll have the rubber tires and ability to actually roll(and turn!) when removed from the base that the Warthog had, but I doubt it.

Crossing fingers that they'll be sold like the Warthog. I want that Batmobile!

from the looks of the site they'll be sold in blind boxes. to ebay!

You've clearly been out of the Heroclix loop for a while.

Since they were picked up by NECA, Wizkids has been casting their Heroclix in a much higher quality plastic than they used to. They're some of the most detailed, high-quality pre-painted figures I've ever seen.

I went on a huge Heroclix binge during my break from 40k before coming back. I still play (though not as often) and I can say the quality of their products have gone up drastically from the old days.

This is accurate. Hopefully they won't take after the colossals from the Galactic Guardians set on the secondary markets. A few of the colossals, like Galactus and Dormammu, were selling for $50-$60.
