Hello and thanks again for making making this new Thanos. My kids and I love it. Here is an AAR of running this awesome custom in a game the other day.

I woke up the other morning and my kids informed me that they wanted to play some Marvel Heroscape. Of course I said yes and of course I had to be Thanos. I picked this version that is already equiped with the Infinity Gauntlet and one Infinity Stone. I really didn't restrict my kids to points that strictly since I was just happy to play and after all I was inevitable right.

My kids ran two teams against me. My daughter's team was Captain America, Scarlett Witch, and Thor. My son's was Black Panther, Iron Man, and Hulk. The Avengers quickly began securing Infinity Stones, lest they fall into Thanos' hands or should I say hand.

Thanos made short work of Iron Man, but failed to secure the time stone. Scarlett Witch came in and put her curse on the Mad Titan that would prove to be most annoying. Next Hulk leaped into the fray and promptly smashed Thanos for one wound. Thor joined in the fun, but was hit hard by Thanos.

Knowing he needed to escape from the gang pile. Thanos took a chance and gave up two leaving engagement strikes which both hit him and knocked off the Infinity Gauntlet (I lost it alot because of bad rolls, but always got it back). He did escape but then suddenly Captain America and Black Panther appeared out of nowhere having used the space stone to teleport. Black Panther pounced but did minimal damage. Thanos did minimal in return.

Thor approached weilding Mjolnir but was grabbed by the Mad Titan who squeezed the life out of the Asgardian. Two Avengers down, four to go. Unfortunately Hulk found the fun and smashed Thanos into oblivion. But wait. Thanos can rewrite death. He promptly removed all eight wound markers and ended the round.

Thanos had full health again now and he started to focus on Black Panther and Scarlett Witch. Unfortunately because of their abilities. Thanos could only manage to do one damage to each of them per attack. It wasn't long before Thanos was surrounded again and getting hammered by multiple Avengers. He quickly was almost dead again and there would be no resurrection this time. After being hit hard by Hulk, Thanos was reduced to one health and the Gauntlet went flying off his hand.

Scarlett Witch quickly swooped in and put the Gauntlet on. She now had +2 attack. Thanos knew his only chance was a long shot. He needed to give up three leaving engagement attacks, and they all had to fail for him to survive. Captain America attacked and missed. Black Panther took his try and missed as well. Hulk was up and he slammed his fist... into air and missed. Made it out! Now Thanos landed next to Scarlett Witch and promptly knocked the Gauntlet out of her hand. The round ended but Thanos kinda needed a miracle to keep going.

Thanos needed to win initiative and did. Thanos needed to make a roll so the curse didn't take away his ability to fly and did. Thanos needed to survive a leaving engagement strike from Wanda and did! Thanos quickly flew to retrieve the Infinity Gauntlet from the snow of the mountain it had landed on. At this point my kids were in disbelief and I was standing up pretending to put the Gauntlet on.

Next Cap and Black Panther teleported to the mountain. Cap gave up his turn, but Black Panther could still attack. He scored three skulls. Thanos rolled defense and...three shields! I told my kids that "I was inevitable!" Then my son remembered Black Panther had the time stone which allows him to use the X order marker to take another turn. He rolled four skulls. I braced myself and tossed the dice. Three shields! One short. Everyone yelled. What a great, great game. This is one we need to play more often. Great memories.
