A little something for the scorching days of August. The theme is obvious.

Captain Cold [The Flash 038] 100

Chillblaine [The Flash 011] 55

Golden Glider [The Flash 025] 60

Icicle [Justice League 007] 72

Mr. Freeze [Batman 048] 118

Blizzard [Invincible Iron Man 026] 75

Killer Frost [Trinity War 045] 121

Frost Giant Champion [Avengers Movie 031] 90

= 691 points.

 

I got to play it in a bye round against a force of Kaiju from Pacific Rim in a “silver age” event allowing all figures but banning non-object- or themed team-related tactics. It was a win for the villains, who simply managed to out-action the colossal monsters, especially as played by the inexperienced Cameron.

By piece:

Blizzard [Invincible Iron Man 026]: Pulse Wave is, as always, boss. Especially in a game against Mystics/Arachnos/Kaiju team ability. Blizzard was a key leading jab.

Captain Cold [The Flash 038]: Wasn’t really much of a captain in this game, what with failing Leadership at the key times and not having targets susceptible to his Ice Blocks.

Chillblaine [The Flash 011]: He was just along for the ride to benefit Golden Glider. But he had a role as tie-up, too, being one of the game’s best.

Frost Giant Champion [Avengers Movie 031]: His Battle Fury-inflicting ability was useless against range-less Kaiju. But he carried his weight in getting the big damage attack to set up the others. Not sure this game is won without him!

Golden Glider [The Flash 025]: Another tie-up fig mostly wasted against Great Size characters, she was surprisingly clutch with her late-game Exploit clicks.

Icicle [Justice League 007]: He was fielded for the Copsicles SP, but was useless due to the size of the enemies and lack of line of fire.

Killer Frost [Trinity War 045]: Never landed a single shot all game, despite many, many attempts.

Mr. Freeze [Batman 048]: the MVP. After the Frost Champion softened the Kaiju up, Freeze cooled them off considerably more.

This was a nice team. I’d like to see how it works against a more standard opponent. Sometime in the future, we could do a “Winter Is Coming” theme with added heroes such as Polar Boy and Iceman to replace the Golden Age figs on this force.
