I'm looking for a way to make the game a little more immersive for my roommate and I and the best way I can think of is to use miniatures for our heroes, allies, villains and minions. Turns out most of the heroclix miniatures are 50 cents or less and they have a good amount of the characters already. Just curious if anyone's tried this before or not.

Would be cool, would love to see pictures. If this was 5 years ago I would be all over this idea, unfortunately my life now is about speed set up and quick play time vs immersion

But if you do this please post pics

What are you doing with the miniatures? I'm not sure how they would interact with the game.

Heroclix would be your cheapest and most flexible solution. Though yeah the minis would have no real function in this game other than eye candy. For AH:TCG some people use minis to replace the investigator card you move around the map, but there's no real spatial element to this game. Maybe you could make a little diorama off to the side showcasing the action if you had all the characters in the scene. That would be kinda fun.

You could set up a little scene for the villain and their scheme, then a couple of secondary locations for when you're in alter ego mode.

When you flip to hero mode, you jump into the fight at the villain's location.

Each minion could have a figure too, to provide additional visual reference for whom is fighting whom.
