Welcome to the Ft. Wayne Alliance Open House WizKids Games experience!
1 The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey HeroClix is essen ally iden cal to 2011’s release of the Lord of the Rings HeroClix set, with a Countertop Display and Campaign Starter.
There is also the addi on of Gravity Feed displays similar to how Marvel HeroClix: The Avengers and DC HeroClix: The Dark Knight Rises was released earlier this year.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey HeroClix will release on 14 November 2012.
2 DC HeroClix: Batman will be available in the following product configura ons:
• 9 Ct. Booster brick (8 standard, 5-figure boosters, 1 super booster) • Iden cal to the Booster brick configura on in Marvel Heroclix: Giant-Size X-Men • 24 Ct. Gravity Feed with Single-Figure Foil Packs • 6-Figure Fast Forces Pack • Marquee Figure • Set Level Organized Play Kit
DC HeroClix: Batman introduces Vehicle Super Boosters to the game. Vehicles are a new mechanic that will impact both compe ve and causal play, and they look very cool. There will be random weigh ng of Vehicle Super Boosters to help against “cherry-picking” of certain pieces.
DC HeroClix: Batman introduces Prime figures to the game. Prime figures are alternate versions of characters found in the set, that are designed to be highly effec ve and efficient as well as desirable from a collector perspec ve. Think “Foil Card-rarity” HeroClix figures.
The release of DC HeroClix: Batman kicks off the 6-month No Man’s Land Storyline Organized Play series.
Case purchases of DC HeroClix: Batman are ed to the inventory requirement for No Man’s Land Storyline Organized Play Months 1 and 2 kits.
DC HeroClix: Batman will release 14 November 2012.
3 Here are all of the vehicles found in the DC HeroClix: Batman set.
Please note that the GCP Squad Car and Tank will be packaged together.
All Vehicles in the DC HeroClix: Batman set include a 2 x 4 base with the excep on of Blue Beetle’s Bug ship (center). The “Bug” includes a 3 x 6 bas due to its larger size.
4 DC HeroClix: Streets of Gotham will be available in the following product configura ons:
• Countertop Display with24 Single-Figure Boosters and 4 Team Packs • Iden cal configura on to the Marvel HeroClix: Avengers Countertop Display • 6-Figure Fast Forces Pack • Marquee Figure • Set Level Organized Play Kit
Key sub-themes include the Birds of Prey, Outsiders, and DC Comics’ New 52.
Case purchases of DC HeroClix: Streets of Gotham are ed to the inventory requirement for No Man’s Land Storyline Organized Play Months 3 and 4 kits.
Release proximity to DC HeroClix: Batman is intended as a follow up release, and will help bolster Batman inventory for No Man’s Land in-store events.
DC HeroClix: Streets of Gotham releases 5 December 2012.
5 DC HeroClix: No Man’s Land is the Storyline Organized Play event follow-up to 2012’s Infinity Gauntlet OP event.
No Man’s Land will be six months of in-store play with requirements essen ally iden cal to the earlier Infinity Gauntlet Storyline OP event.
More details are available below as well as at www.HeroClix.com/NoMansLand
6 7 It is important to note that while No Man’s Land is essen ally iden cal to the earlier Infinity Gauntlet OP program, there are some pre y big (and cool) differences as well.
Firstly, it is certainly worth no ng that the NML Month 1 kit includes TWO different par cipa on level prizes for your players. One being the U lity Belt display piece and card, and the second being the Gas Pellets special object which can be used as the first addi on to players’ U lity Belts.
Secondly, each map in the NML OP program is double-sided and features a Gotham City locale in both a pre- and post-quake state! There is an op onal rule included in each month’s OP kit that explains how to use this mechanic in game.
Thirdly, as with Infinity Gauntlet before, the compe ve level Limited Edi on figure prizes will not be offered again in another product. These figures are unique to this OP program.
Fourth and lastly, we have included an addi onal Gotham city map for use with the “Gangs” subgame element to NML. We will dive deeper into this later in the presenta on.
8 It is worth no ng that this is the only me this par cular Batgirl has ever been offered in HeroClix. For the comics-familiar members of our audience, this is the Helena Ber nelli/Huntress version of Batgirl.
Also worth no ng is that unlike Infinity Gauntlet, every month of NML will include 10 double-sided maps (again, with pre- and post-earthquake sides).
9 10 11 12 As with NML Month 1, the Month 6 kit includes TWO different par cipa on level prizes: the Handcuffs special object and Batman’s Cowl special object.
The Batcave is the grand prize to the NML OP event. It is essen ally the “Thanos and Shrine to Death” of this program.
The Joker and Harley duo figure is the compe ve Limited Edi on figure prize for Month 6.
The Penguin is the prize for the “Gangs” subgame within the NML OP program. More on this below. The Penguin can be played both as a member of one’s HeroClix team, or as a resource dial.

The Gotham City map calls out the key loca ons represented in the No Man’s Land program with checkered yellow and black borders for easy loca on.
The Gotham City map also calls out the loca ons of maps included in the DC HeroClix: Batman and DC HeroClix: Streets of Gotham Fast Forces packs and set level OP kits.
The long-term idea is for stores to be able to host their own Batman/Gotham City- themed events, leagues, etc..with this map, the gang tokens, and all of the maps found in the various products listed above. These elements are designed with all of these purposes and more in mind!
Map will come rolled in the kit and is usable with Dry erase marker
We’re going to try to make the Map file available to stores with permission to reproduce so that stores can print out Wall sized maps for your event.
14 Here are two unpainted renders of the No Man’s Land Month 6 Batcave Grand Prize.
The first image in the upper le -hand corner demonstrates how the U lity Belt resource dial can actually fit into the Batcave sculpt, which actually serves as an in- game element as well as a nice way to display both the Batcave and U lity Belt.
You will also no ce a HeroClix dial in the center spot; this serves no in-game purpose other than to demonstrate that a HeroClix figure could be placed there for display.
The second image shows the Batcave from the tope-down, allowingone to fully appreciate it’s size and detail. The Batcave is mounted on a 3 x 6 dial (like Master Mold and Galactus from Marvel HeroClix: Galac s Guardians).
15 This is a painted and deco’ed version of the Batcave Grand Prize. Please note that Alfred is part of the dial, and on his tray are First-Aid supplies.
If the Alfred dial on the Batcave resource dial is used, HeroClix figures can actually be healed in game by “visi ng” the Batcave! (Just like Batman in the comics!)
16 Later this year will make these special holiday promo figures available to stores, details will be forthcoming shortly.
17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Like Lord of the Rings? Like Quarriors? Then Lord of the Rings Dice Building game is for you!
U lizes the innova ve dice building mechanic pioneered by the Quarriors! game from 2011.
25 This is the follow-up to the earlier ini al Star Trek Tac cs release. If fan and consumer response is anything like Start Trek Tac cs (1), then Start Trek Tac cs II will be HUGE!
Star Trek Tac cs II features several new licensor approved starships never before seen as three dimensional sculpts!
26 We believe this will be a very popular release due to the combina on of innova ve and fun play and the inclusion of HeroClix elements, most notably the first appearance of the SwitchClixTM mechanic.
Ini al release may bear a closer resemblance to an actual HeroClix release, with high consumer demand, with a tail end of sales more resembling a tradi onal board game release.
27 Here is the first slide demonstra ng the new SwitchClixTM mechanic.
28 29 The SwitchClixTM figure clicks off of the base thanks to the patented SwitchClixTM design.
30 With SwitchClixTM, you physically remove the sculpt from the Strategy Game dial…
31 …and bring the sculpt to its corresponding SwitchClixTM HeroClix dial!
32 The SwitchClixTM sculpt will fit easily onto its corresponding SwitchClixTM HeroClix dial!
33 34 Voila!
35 SwitchClixTM opens whole new worlds of design and development!
36 Marvel HeroClix: The Amazing Spider-Man will be the first Marvel HeroClix release for 2013, and returns to the tradi onal 10 Ct. 5-figure standard Booster brick model, as well as a Gravity Feed with single –figure foil packs.
The Amazing Spider-Man features the introduc on of all-new “Wild Dials” which do not behave as ordinary dials do. Wild Dials allow certain figures to simulate the effects of Vampirism, Lycanthropy (think Werewolves) and more!
Prime figures (see DC HeroClix: Batman above) are introduced to Marvel HeroClix in The Amazing Spider-Man.
Marvel HeroClix: The Amazing Spider-Man is scheduled to release 6 February 2013.
37 38 Marvel HeroClix: Iron Man 3 features characters from the latest Iron Man movie from Marvel Studios.
39 DC HeroClix Teen Titans is the third retail installment for the No Man’s Land OP Program. Case purchases are ed to No Man’s Land months 5 & 6 OP kits.
DC HeroClix: Teen Titans also features a 6-figure Fast Forces pack, Gravity Feed, and OP Kit.
DC HeroClix: Teen Titans introduces the all-new Team Base mechanic! U lizing the innova ve SwitchClixTM design, players can move figures from larger team bases to single-figure bases and back!
Team bases have combat dials designed to represent both the powers and abili es of the en re team together, but also the special power stunts and combina ons that their members can perform together. However, you must have the correct corresponding characters a ached to the Team Base to use these special combos!
More news to come!
40 Example of the Perez/Wolfman era “All-New Teen Titans” included in this set.
41 Here we have the “All-New Teen Titans” Team Base, with Kid Flash!
U lizing SwitchClixTM technology, Kid Flash can separate from his single base, and be added to the “All-New Teen Titans” Team Base and unlock new abili es while a ached!
42 And here we see all of the members of the “All-New Teen Titans” a ached to their Team Base.
This Team Base is 2 x 4 squares large.
43 Here we see all of the members of “Gen 13” From DC/Wildstorm Studios, a ached to their Team Base.
This Team Base is 2 x 4 squares large.
44 Similar to the release of DC HeroClix: Teen Titans, summer 2013’s release of Wolverine and the X-Men will also introduce the Team Base mechanic to Marvel HeroClix.
Some of the teams represented on Team Bases will be (but not limited to) the X- Men’s Gold and Blue strike forces, the Alan Davis-era Excalibur, the Brotherhood of Mutants, and more!
More news to come!
45 Marvel HeroClix: Fear Itself will be the next Storyline Organized Play event, and is scheduled to begin a er the comple on of DC HeroClix: No Man’s Land.
More news to come.
