Dial H For Heroclix is built for people who still want to talk after the match slip is turned in. The show follows Heroclix as a living hobby, not just a list of optimal pieces. Calder Ness leads the episodes, with Ian Eggleston regularly in the studio and guests appearing for tournament predictions, event breakdowns, and listener questions. The rhythm is quick and conversational. A weather anecdote, a mall joke, or a sponsor stumble can sit right beside a serious read on 300 Modern, 400 Silver, Strange Tales, Pulp announcements, and state tournament results. That loose shape is part of the charm. The show often sounds like players thinking through a board state together, catching a rule interaction, laughing at the absurdity of it, then immediately arguing about whether the piece is actually good. Recent episodes spend time on WizKids ban-list choices, Champion Clix Open expectations, South Dakota and Arkansas states, Arizona states, the Clicksies, and Heroclix for Huntingtons. The rules talk is specific. Listeners hear about Rogue builds, Loki problems, Spider-Man stripping away powers, Green Lantern teams losing their rings, Mr. Sinister swaps, Abscissa revives, Ramonda support, Perdegaton, Leech, Phoenix bystanders, Cosmic Rider punishment, and the small tactical errors that make a loss sting. It is competitive, but not cold. The show leaves room for collectors, local-store players, sealed fans, and anyone who likes comic accuracy as much as tournament pressure. Its best stretches turn a figure card into a shared puzzle. The hosts read the effect, test the implications, remember how it played, and then decide whether it rocks, scares them, or makes no sense at all. It is a Heroclix hangout with enough table knowledge to matter and enough looseness to keep the game feeling fun.
Made for: For Heroclix players who already speak the language of dials, powers, formats, and tournament builds. It especially suits listeners who enjoy competitive discussion without losing the local-game-store feel.
What sets it apart: Dial H For Heroclix blends real meta analysis with messy, familiar hobby conversation. It treats ban lists, team tech, sculpts, comic accuracy, and bad rolls as parts of the same weekly obsession.
We discuss Heroclix opinions, news and teams. joking around and having fun in the world of Heroclix it's not all "if this figure isn't meta, it doesn't matter."
