Mage Knight or HeroClix?

Question

Thinking of starting a new game: Is Mage Knight a good game to start or should I go with HeroClix?

Answer 1

You should go for Mage Knight, yeah the ARE the same thing (they are both made by wiz kids games) BUT... Mage Knight came first, and is so much better

Mage Knight
Mage Knight is a fast-playing game of tabletop combat using collectable Mage Knight miniatures, where players take on the roles of powerful Warlords commanding armies fighting for cause, glory or conquest. Races of fantastic beings armed with magical weapons and incredible mechanisms populate these armies, allowing groups of Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Trolls and hulking Draconum to clash in mortal combat. If you are to conquer the Land, and crush your enemies underfoot, you will need every magical, martial and technological resource to create the ultimate army. Are you ready for the challenge of building an army of legend, and commanding it to victory?


HeroClix
Based on the popular Mage Knights system, but utilizing super hero characters from the Marvel and DC Comics Universe.

The game plays much like a miniatures game, but without the measure-and-move system or the constant consultation of hit charts. Rather, most of the vital statistical information is directly on the base of the characters, which can be rotated as characters take damage from hits.

Since we're talking super heroes here, each character has special abilities and powers, which give the game its 'comic' book feel. While these powers are listed on separate charts, sometimes the interaction of these powers can cause confusion. Official FAQ can be found at the Wiz Kids website

here are some sites for both check them out and see for yourself...
