Greetings WizKids Games Fans and Supporters!
WizKids Games is pleased to announce that we will be attending DexCon 15 in neighboring Morristown, New Jersey on July 6th, 7th, and the 8th with a whole host of events for HeroClix and Quarriors fans alike! DexCon and Dreamation (also operated by Double Exposure, Inc.) are the premiere gaming conventions in New Jersey and have been a staple in the northeastern gaming scene for two decades. Their close proximity to WizKids Games makes them an ideal locale for our events and we are happy to have this opportunity to connect with our fans in the northeast (and beyond!).
Players will have the chance to play in many tourneys at DexCon this year between the HeroClix Worlds 2012 qualifier, Battle Royales, a Galactic Guardians Colossal event, a Star Trek event, a Street Fighter/Marvel/DC Team-up event, and our second-ever Quarriors! Quorld Championship Qualifying event! HeroClix grinders return for another shot for a skilled player to qualify for Worlds 2012; can you battle it out with the other players and emerge as the winner?
In addition to all of these tourneys, we also have demos available; try your hand out with Quarriors, or run down the Ringbearer as a Ringwraith in Lord of the Rings: Nazgul! Lead your fleet to victory in Star Trek: Fleet Captains, or battle for hegemony in Mage Knight!
Last but certainly not least, DexCon 15 is also offering a special Badge discount for WizKids Games’ players: Enter code CLIXD15 for a $10.00 discount to your badge!!!
The full list of events for DexCon15 is below and we look forward to seeing you there!
HeroClix Battle Royale: Interested in fast and furious HeroClix play? Want to prove you’re the best no matter what team you draft? Then this event is for you! This event will utilize 1 HeroClix booster from either a Marvel or DC HeroClix expansion.
Players will purchase entry to this event (see cost below) and once the pod of four players has been seated, product will be provided for the event. Players will then draft their teams per standard HeroClix draft procedure. At the conclusion of the game each player will return the figures they used for the event to the center of the map to create a prize pool, to which will be added a 2012 convention figure (Apocalypse 2012 Convention Figure for Marvel HeroClix Battle Royales, and Dr Fate 2012 Convention Figure for DC HeroClix Battle Royales). Players will then participate in a “snake draft” and select their prizes with the winning player choosing first, and then on to the next player by descending final score. Prize drafting will take place in this order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1, etc…
Cost for this event will be $12.
Prize for this event: Apocalypse or Dr Fate 2012 Convention Figure
Availability/Schedule: Friday-Sunday from 10 AM-6 PM (while inventory lasts)

HeroClix Scenario: Meteor Shower! A mighty battle rages between hero and villain. Amidst the chaos, the skies darken. A shadow on the ground begins to grow…and grow…and grow…
Build a 500 point team using the modern age rules. At random intervals throughout the match (approximately every 5-10 minutes), the judge will call out map coordinates where a meteorite has just struck. Using the map key printed along the edges, players will locate this square on their maps and place a debris token in that square and deal damage as follows:
- A figure occupying this square is immediately dealt 3 unavoidable damage.
- A figure one square away is immediately dealt 2 penetrating damage.
- A figure two squares away is immediately dealt 1 damage.
(A figure may only be dealt damage once per meteor regardless of how many squares would be affected and is dealt damage based on the square of its dial closest to the impact point.)
This event will be limited to 16 players so be sure to secure your place early.
Prize for this event: Apocalypse or Dr Fate 2012 Convention Figure (winner’s choice)
