Site Updates

As of today, we will officially start providing an easily accessible list of updates to HCUnits.net! We recognize that not all the changes to site are immediately obvious to our users, and having this list allows people to see what we've been working. It also will provide an archive of changes that have been made in the past, in case anyone is curious to go back and look for features the might not know about! To take a look, just click here:

Custom Unit Creation

We've had a link to a Custom Unit creator for quite a while, but honestly it was little more than a debugging tool. However, this has now officially changed!

We're proud to announce that the Custom Unit creator is now of comparable functionality to our Team Builder! Custom Units will render in real-time you make changes to them and are automatically saved to your account along with any changes that you make while you're working on them. Additionally, they can easily be shared with others via URL, just like with teams!

To try it out for yourself, click here:

We support all the different unit types that you can find in HCUnits.net, including Characters, Objects, Equipment, etc.

Here's an example of one that we recently created of George Massu to celebrate one of the all-time greatest HeroClix champions!

Image Improvements

We're also excited to share that we've made a number of significant graphics improvements to HCUnits.net! If you have a sharp, discerning eye, you may have already noticed them!

First, we've upgraded most of our icons from raster to vector images. This means that when you zoom into the image, the team and improved ability and combat symbols will stay super-sharp! Kudos to Jeremiah Peterson and Jonathan Virgillio for their help!

Second, we've upgraded the images and fonts in many other parts of the unit card so they appear much closer to the original version you find in your HeroClix boosters! They will also be much sharper as you zoom in! Kudos to André Salgado and the team at Clix Maker for their help!
