Avengers Assemble! Week One: Iron Man, The Extras! part the second

   Being a comic book geek, I possess a disturbing number of things that are not actually comics but are somewhat connected to comics. Case in point, I own quite a few board games that feature comic characters. Further cementing my comic nerdliness is the fact that I actually play them and find myself using some of my precious free my time to DIY rules and miscellany for said games.

From Left to Right: Heroclix Ultimate Iron Man, Marvel Heroscape Iron Man, Heroclix S.H.I.E.L.D. Iron Man, and Heroclix Iron Man. Background is paper terrain from Fat Dragon Games and Worldworks Games.

   These miniatures are from two different but similar collectable miniature games, Heroclix and Heroscape, While I haven't been playing either all that often, I am slowly exposing my 5 (and a half!) year old son to them, and he has been enjoying a simplistic version of the Heroscape rules. He absolutely loves playing with the miniatures as toys, its like playing with really colorful army men.
