[Potential Game On] Heroclix anyone?

I posted in the Ask Whippy thread and actually got the go ahead to create a Heroclix thread.
What is Heroclix?
It's a minatures game with little work involved by Wizkids. They're usually based off of Marvel and DC properties, hence the Hero, and operate on a dial much like the old Mage Knight game by the same company which lends to the clicking so aptly mentioned.
DC and Marvel both just had sets come out. DC has Origins which introduces a Golden Age Bats, Supes, Martian Manhunter, as well as the Question and the new Blue Beetle. Marvel's new set is Supernova and it focuses more on the cosmic characters within the Marvel Universe as well as getting a new Captain Mar-Vell out there.
In addition to the actual tabletop game which I've been playing on and off for about three years now, there's an online form of it developed by hardcore fans. It can be found here with the latest updates and a plethora of maps. If anyone's willing to play a game, just message me on AIM or Yahoo or PM me I suppose.
Here's hoping this thread lasts more than a day.

Origin is the exact same as my Steam, in case you're needing a Support or Assault in BF3.

Oh, I found the Rules they can be found here
I have no truck with pre-painted minis. They're for lazy bones. I suck at painting, too.
Painting is awesome, but I'd hate painting the 200 some odd I have.

Fun game though.
For the most part, at tournament level games, everyone always uses the cheapest units that do the most damage with whatever ability and have dozens of counters for it. It's like playing a high level fighting game eventually just because everyone uses the same team and same strategy.

I'd just really like to play a game against a crowd that doesn't use the same pieces over and over again.
It'd be nice at least. Just let me know if you're interested in one of the typical means of contact. I gotta make sure to add my other contact stuff to my profile.

That was such a fun team.
I never got around to playing it, since nobody wanted to play with me (Aww...).
In any case, my Wolverine's arm broke off.
That just oozes with irony.
Now... hmm, I think I'll make some sort of Batman villain team. I never did get any of the actual DC HeroClix figures.
Let me think, I've got Tuesday open as far as I can tell. I'm open for a game then if anyone wants to.

I'm going to check the client program in a few minutes to see if there's any possible way for us to use Horrorclix as well. Because if all goes well I'd like to make this at least a weekly thing and do some scenarios and such.
Some ideas:
JLA vs. Avengers: Come on, it's the age old question that's been done a thousand times. I'm thinking newly formed JLA vs something like the New Avengers or even the Mighty Avengers.
Civil War: Take some anti-reg heroes and some pro-reg heroes, keep it within 400 points and we're good.
Infinite Crisis: Alright, one player plays as like Kingdom Come Supes, and we'll call this dude Superboy Prime. Then we pit him against a few teams. Like the core seven League members or the Titans and see if we can hold our own.
Any other ideas would be awesome.

And I don't think HorrorClix would work in the client. I mean, they use the same to hit/damage thing, but the rest of the mechanics are pretty different. It's not something that's impossible to do, just very improbable for the thing you're talking about.
Yeah, I found this out late last night when I was looking through a buddy's Cloaking Predator. They don't take push damage.
There's a way to integrate the game so you can do crossover matches in real life, but I don't think the HCOL client will actually allow for it. Mainly because there are a few modifications to the rule for the Heroclix themselves.
Worth a shot still.
I'm going to think on scenarios later on.

Anyways, I saw on my LCS website that they are starting to do monthly Heroclix tournaments. I'm going to ask more about it when I go in on Thursday to pick up my new books, but it looks like a lot of fun. I haven't played any good tabletop games since moving to South Carolina - the scene is totally dead around here. So what's a good way to get started with Heroclix, and are there any good fansites or online resources for the game? I see thousands of Heroclix for sale on Ebay - am I better off buying a few lots of those, or one of the pre-arranged starter packs?
Anybody here still playing online games?
