HeroClix always struck me as a small step up from HeroScape. They're not quite as kiddie and
some of the miniatures themselves are neat looking. Sadly, the rules are pretty bad as far as wargaming goes. You'd be better off with a skirmish game like Mordhiem or Warlord if you really want to
play something. Furthermore, unless you only want to collect comic book figures, I'd go for
Reaper miniatures over HeroClix any day.
