Gears of War to be a Clix game
April 27, 2011 by beerogre
After browsing through one of the latest trade magazines, I found this.
Now, I don't know what you guys think of the Clix series of games from Wiz Kids, but they've just announced another range... this time it'll be Gears of War...
The game will be launched in August 2011 and as with all the Clix games, it'll be a blind purchase of one of 10 models, 5 Delta Squad and 5 alien models.
What do you guys think of these types of games?
I'll admit I have a whole load of Mage Knightand Heroclix minis that I use for D&D and superhero games (just pop them off their base), but what about you?
However... for those who really want to start a rant... check this out!
Have a look at that link and tell me what you think...

WizKids killed me on CMGs when they switched to their Mage Knight 2 sets and said the older pieces couldn’t be played in tournament play. Since that was all I could find, I decided they could have their game.
I pretty much use my old figs (the ones I kept, anyway) the same way you do, Andy. I won’t buy their CMGs ever again.
There’s only one thing I can think of posting for this:

brilliant… 🙂
i play the halo clix game. if they make it as accurate as possible like they did with halo then it should be pretty good.
Luckily I was able to get my hands on a beta key not five minutes ago… I missed the initial giveaways due to being at work, but I just found a legitimate blog handing them out. I found some other giveaways that were scams so I was wary, but this one has panned out and I’ve received my key.
I don’t know if any more keys are remaining on the site, but for those still needed one, here’s the site for you guys to try:

The clix minis were a let down but I’ve just seen this which is a lot more promising:

Minis look much better and hopefully a nice high quality game too
