Secret Invasion Week 5

It was a full two weeks ago that we played the Johnny Storm week of Secret Invasion! The rules were as follows:


The upshot was that you got lots of replacement pieces, and a 300 point game went at the speed of 400 points. On to the teams!

I played a Fantastic Four Abuse team: Thing, Mr. Fantastic, Gee, Lightspeed, and another Lightspeed. This was designed to use Skrull Yellowjacket and Skrull Infiltrators as replacements. This team was nakedly based around Defense 20 Thing walking around being unhittable. But Lightspeed was awesome! And Lightspeed that turns into a Skrull is an incredible tie-up piece!

Ferru played Dr. Strange, Punisher, and Morbius. Is there a theme here? Anyway this was a pretty good team, helped by the awesome Skrulls that he had waiting around. Namely, Super-Skrull: X-Men and Jarvis.

Jeff mixed up his LEs and his boxed set to create a Fantastic Four team. Human Torch and Mr. Fantastic were fielded with Sue Storm. Or was it Human Torch and Invisible Woman with Reed Richards?

Bill played an Invaders team, or was it an All-Star All-Winners team? Namor led his pals Toro and Human Torch. Bah, Namor! I hate you whenever I am not playing you, Namor!

We played with choices of maps instead of just the Savage Land. Happy Harbor, bank vaults, temple ruins, we missed you, old friends.

Namor took Bill to victory for the night. I did pretty well, with Thing over-performing, but hiding behind defense is a waiting game and I couldn't stand up to Namor's assault. Jeff's F4s took out the Invaders in their game, though, so bravo! Enjoy the pics!
