"What could I do with my DC Heroclix doubles ?" Topic

I have stacks of doubles, mostly from the JLA and one of the Batman releases and (apart from just selling them which I might do but is a tedious prospect) can't think of anything to do with them.

Any thoughts ?

Is there a SF skirmish game that they might fit in with ? I could do a HoTT superheroes / Super villans army – only I don't really want to do that (thought of and rejected as just didn't appeal).

Suggestions welcome – ones which might require a visit to a hospital accident and emergency ward to be excluded !

Ta !

Have you tried supersystem from four color figures?

Great skirmish super hero game

Make zombie versions.

Supersystem is highly recommended. I rebased mine and my daughter and I have worked on scenarios to run for the game group. Good fun.

kill counters?

Headswaps and make new heroes for a HEROSYSTEM game?

I've not played "Supersystem", but I really like the Goalsystem game "Blasters and Bulkheads" which is based on the same mechanics and plays really well. If you're looking for a superhero game, that would be my suggestion as well.

Lots of the DC heroclix are great when repainted as post apoc survivors. They're easy to convert and add guns too. For rulesets, THere are many that could work for post apoc.

-WarEngine is very flexible and fun
-Wastelands 3 is a very fast playing ruleset.
-Goalsystem. Blasters and Bulkheads is intended for a sci-fi setting, but is very flexible.
-Neutron York 3000 is a post apocalyptic setting with lots of room for comic book style characters and action.

I had had a thought that they might be useful for a retro' feel SF game – a sort of Flash Gordon type setup but I don't really have any idea about rules in that direction. I've tried Space Vixens and…ummm….it's not for me

Zombie idea is a good one – could set a scenario in a Comicon type venue and have a zombie costume parade !

Sell on eBay …

I put mine in a box…. Waiting for time i need them :)

Comic books have a long history of evil clones/robots that mirror heroes. Bizzaro, Hulk robot, etc. Paint a dark wash on all the duplicates followed by a gray drybrush. It should give them that proper muted tone for imperfect clones.

Tried That Already !

Sell on eBay

Final way to solve problem – but a pretty dull game !

paint them grey and use them as statues?

Nice – statues ! That's some taken care of !

I'll give Supersystem a nod as well. 3rd edition pdf is available from Saber's Edge, 2nd edition hardcopy from Old Glory – they're both good, although 3rd has enough refinements that I prefer it.

Oddly enough, Old Glory also sells Chaos in Cronos, the Goalsystem pulp scifi rules set. Blasters & Bulkheads also does pulp well if you change a few names to make things more retro, so there are actually two different Goalsystem space opera rules sets.

I use my Heroclix figures for demos of Atomic Super Humans and Giant Monster Rampage.

As I don't play Heroclix, all my Heroclix figures have been rebased and repainted to represent heroes and villains in my own universe. DC Heroclix are more useful, as their costumes are simpler.

What I would probably do is look at the duplicates you've got, see which ones are going for the big bucks (i.e. uniques and rares), sell those and use the money to buy more figures, and use the rest as suggested above.

Thanks for all the ideas !

I will now cogitate.
