The C3G Cave - Hangout

[Griffin]

Yep. We have Frost Giants that turn people into Ice Rocks, Hydro Man that places water, Magma that places lava, Floronic Man that... ;), and a few other things in the works. So to answer your question, yes, we have thought of that. :)

[TrollBrute]

I think there would be a lot of mechanical complications with powers that placed or stacked land tiles. Working out all the rules and balancing it would be really tricky if not impossible for something like C3G, I think. A good set of house/custom rules would be pretty awesome though.

I do think an Iceman who could put down Ice tiles would be cool, and Margloth (back before he was a Hero) had a cool Plant Monster design that worked with Ivy. I'd still love to see that.

[tcglkn]

Look in our Book of Index at the Frost Giant, Magma, Icicle, and Hydro-Man. :ninja:'d

[Snappleman]

I do love the freezing effect of the ice giants. Thanks for cluing me in to the other stuff and stuff on the way. As always, I'm looking forward to it! Still want a crater maker though :)

[SilentOwl]

Terrain changing... WHAT IS THE WORLD TURNING INTO?

Like I said above, some house rules would help you out there. Maybe something like:

After a figure you control with the Super Strength special power moves with Super Leap or Flying, you may place up to 6 Rock tiles on any same level land spaces adjacent to the moved figure. Any figures or glyphs that were on those tiles are placed on top the placed Rock Tiles.

It would need some work of course, but it might be a decent start.

[Tornado]

Hmm, not bad TB. Probably the closest thing to a crater, since removing tiles could be all but impossible.

I think it is possible without it being a house rule. :up:

CRATER SMASH
Start the game with 12 single sand tiles on this card. When this figure ends its Superleap movement, place as many sand tiles adjacent to it as you can. Placed sand tiles must be placed normally on the battlefield and cannot be placed 3 spaces higher or lower than this figure's base.

Of course, I would wonder why you would ever want to give your opponent height advantage. :lol:

[Griffin]

Yeah, Bats knows all about that right now. :lol:

If you've got synergy with a Crater Smasher and he goes first, your 2nd dude would have an awesome opportunity to get a height advantage. I love it.

CRATER SMASH
Start the game with 12 single sand tiles on this card. When this figure ends its Superleap movement, move all adjacent figures one space away from this figure. Figures moved by Crater Smash will receive one wound, but will not take leaving engagement attacks. Place as many sand tiles adjacent to this figure as you can. Placed sand tiles must be placed normally on the battlefield and cannot be placed 3 spaces higher or lower than this figure's base.

Of course, I would wonder why you would ever want to give your opponent height advantage. :lol:

That could work. Would make for an interesting game. Of course, the auto-wound could be a die roll instead, so he doesn't just eat through squads.

[1Mmirg]

Units on spaces where a sand hex are placed could take damage (or on d20 take damage), that might make it worth doing. You could even "throw" a unit on a space that is now covered by a sand tile.

Even more interesting if the unit had a "Pit Fighter" special power, where he receives bonuses for not having height advantage. So, yes, you give your opponent height, but you are "gained" a lack of height for yourself.

Lots of fun ways to tweak this idea, I think.

[Yodaking]

Yeah, I finished off the second disc just to find out that Netflix does not carry the 3rd or 4th disc of season 1 yet. I don't know why they do that, releasing each disc separately for a season. I'm sure it's a money grab but it annoys me. Anyway after just watching the first two discs I'm already sold on the series, found a place I could buy all of season 1 for a real good price so I ordered it.

The Avengers cartoon used to be streaming on Netflix. That's how I watched it, a lot handier. :p Love the show, and wish I could watch the new season!
You can watch it for free on 1channel.ch (http://www.1channel.ch/watch-2726641-The-Avengers-Earths-Mightiest-Heroes)


Just following up on this because I was so thoroughly impressed by the show. Watched the rest of season 1 and the first 3 episodes of season 2 using the above link. Found out that most (if not all) of season 1 is on youtube, so you don't have to go to any questionable sites and sign up to check them out.

Ended up looking around to see how much it would cost to buy the series and was disappointed to find out that they released each of the 4 discs that make up season 1 individually. They want $15 for each one, so $60 just for season 1. Well that price is ridiculous considering I can get full seasons of HBO tv shows for less. I kept on looking around to see if I could find it cheaper and found the whole first season available for $14 here:

http://www.ioffer.com/i/avengers-earths-mightiest-heros-first-season-4-dvd-210241634

This is a guy in England that will send you a burned copy of the four disc set with art work on the discs. I wasn't sure about it but he has a really high positive feedback rating so I figured at $14 it was worth the gamble. The discs arrived in the mail today (just over a week later) and had no problems playing the first disc I threw into my DVD player to test out. So if you are looking to pick up this series for cheap and don't want to burn the discs yourself, here is your chance.

The only thing I found odd was that the the show was released in the wrong order. I looked it up to be sure and they actually list 'the break out' parts 1 & 2 as the first two episodes in the official episode guide. However, the link above has them listed in the correct chronological order and that was also how I watched them on the Netflix discs I received. Yet the burned copies I received (with official looking menus) has them in a different order. Don't know why they did this, but you should really watch episodes 3-6 on disc 1, then episode 7 on disc 2 first before watching the two 'break out' episodes on disc 1. After that everything goes in the correct order from episode 8 on. Once you watch it you will see why it is backwards.

Another update, while watching more episodes I am discovering that the discs will have slight read errors on them. I am playing them through my x-box and so far it has not caused a full on freeze up, but the little bubble pops up saying something about retrieving data or read error, then it continues playing through without stopping. Has so far occurred only on two episodes but I have not watched every one yet.

Also saw discs 1 and 4 at Walmart for $10 each. Didn't have discs 2 and 3 in stock but $40 for the set is more reasonable then the $60 Best Buy.com wants.

This show has lots of great quotes that my gaming partners will soon hear me saying when we play.

I think something like reverse-height advantage would be interesting. Of course, whoever had this ability could easily decimate armys built around range and height advantage... HEHEHE:twisted:

EDIT: I also think the auto-wound is a bit harsh. I think a die or 20d would work better.

[IAmBatman]

In my experience, Best Buy is usually the worst buy ....

[SilentOwl]

Does anyone have a hitzone pic for the Heroclix Deadpool sitting around that I could use?

[IAmBatman]

Well our Art Department doesn't really give our hard work out ... but someone else might just happen to, I suppose.

[SilentOwl]

LOL

[Lord Pyre]

Anybody else here read Hellblazer? I've picked up a few to do some research*cough* on a Constantine design. (Now I'm wanting to do Papa Midnite too, woohoo!). Anyway, what are your guys' thoughts on it? It's pretty freaky sometimes, but other times it's just super cheesy. I think it's enjoyable, and very dark, the way I like it. Looking forward to reading some newer ones, as I've heard those are much easier to get through (Not that the first ones are bad, I'm just curious how they're different!)

[Griffin]

NO SPOILERS HERE, I PROMISE

I just saw the Avengers, and there only two words I can think of to express it, and those two words felt so unworthy to attempt the expressing of Earth's Mightiest Film that they decided to Assemble themselves into the one word: FAmazing!!!

Seriously, this movie is great. The biggest surprise to me, and it was a pleasant one, is how Captain America stood out above all the others as the best personified Superhero on film since Heath Ledger's Joker. And honestly, it was even better than Heath in ONE aspect: How true to the comics Captain America was. If you are looking for a great movie, definitely watch the Avengers. And if you are looking for a reason to love Captain America all over again, watch the Avengers.

[tcglkn]

I'm taking my sister to see it at midnight when it comes out. That's the day I get home. :)

[Lord Pyre]

Nice! Where'd you see it?

I've heard nothing but good things so far. But then again it was the same with Thor when that first came out, so the ratings dropped a bit after. I'm curious if these ratings will stay so high, considering the praise it's getting!

But what's to be expected when you put Whedon on a film! :D

[IAmBatman]

My expectations remain high. :-) I'm hoping to see it next Friday night.

I saw it at a private showing in Raleigh.

I am a bit worried that little kids may lose some interest in it because of the slow character developing bits, but adolescents and adults should continue to like it. I really only have two little critiques to it:

The jumps from extreme action to extreme boredom is a bit polarized and kinda unnerving too. I am not sure if people will like that, but it gave me a "nervous" feeling a couple of times and it made me feel kinda sick - like vertigo.
There was no amazing score or theme in the movie. What happened to the good old days of Conan or Superman or Starwars or Batman or Indian Jones movies having that anthem that no one ever forgets? I really miss that.

[IAmBatman]

Nobody's hired John Williams for a while. That's what happened. :-P

Makes sense. In the Dark Knight there was just intense scenes followed by more intense scenes. Then you finally get a break but WOAH IT'S ACTUALLY AN INTENSE SCENE!
So maybe it's not all bad to have a break. Gotta see for myself! :lol:

Sucks about the score, though. It's Silvestri, who has done some pretty darned good stuff in his time. Then again he also did Captain America, and I can't remember any of that music aside from that freaking annoying theme song. :lol:

[Lord Pyre]

There was one point near the end, when a really nice score started as the camera was drinking in a stoic shot of the Avengers, but then it was cut short.... :( The sound track may be worth getting, but for me, if a movie score isn't showcased in the film, then I won't care about it enough to want to listen to it, much less even recognize it. Sad... just sad.

[Lord Pyre]

I'm sorry, I should have clarified. Nobody's hired him for movies I give a crap about. :razz:

Actually really wanted to see that one. Heard it was really good.

Well, I'm sure I'll get it eventually. :p I picked up the Fantastic Four score on clearance for like $5 a long time ago. Not exactly one anybody would remember, but it actually wasn't too bad. The theme gets stuck in your head for days, haha!

But you know, film makers used to know and live by the "power of the score". Now it is treated as a "side dish". Let me share this, and I know I am preaching to the choir here, but you will appreciate this: I let my daughter watch Superman I and II over a year ago. She is now 5 (since December). She still "sings" the theme song when she is pretending to be Supergirl while I am flying her around the house. And she is 5! That type of cultural and psychological influence just shouldn't be ignored... and yet... here we are in a world of films without musical acknowledgement. :roll:

It is really good. My school usually shows movies after they are out of theaters but before they hit DVD and this was on they showed. I didn't expect much of it as my friends drug me to see it but it was a really touching film.

[IAmBatman]

And those movies weren't even good!* :-P


*Except the first 15 minutes of Superman I, which were fantastic, and the best I've seen of Superman on film to date (hopefully a sentiment shattered by the upcoming "Man of Steel").

[Griffin]

Ugh... "touching" I do my best to avoid those films. :p

I'm sure it won't be as good as The Dark Knight (I don't think anything can be for me) but I don't expect that and I still think I'll really enjoy it. Some I'm tempering my expectations hardcore, but I expect it to still be an enjoyable film. I mean I managed to enjoy Green Lantern for the most part. I'll enjoy DKR. :-P

And critics didn't absolutely love Batman Begins, but I did, so I'm optimistic overall.

TDR has bad press? from where?

[Griffin]

TDR has bad press? from where?
Apparently, after several screenings throughout the world, people couldn't understand WTF Bane was saying. WB politely asked Nolan to do some last minute voice dubbing, and Nolan basically said "F U I know what I am doing"... So WB is pulling away the "blank check" Nolan has been privileged with and not letting him have that free creative control anymore.

Nolan believes that his movie is realistic in that Bane, speaking through a respirator would be difficult to understand, and that helps to create the intense "horror" of the character. I don't know, I guess we will figure it out soon enough.

[Red Eyed Jedi]

I completely agree, I really like the old music scores, Star Wars, Superman, etc. To this day when I hear them I still get excited, and pumped up.
My buds and I are really looking forward to watching Avengers, sad to hear their is no awesome score to go along with it though.
If ya'll haven't bought your tickets yet you might want to, the midnight showing is sold out in my area already. Were going to go Sunday. What do ya think the chances are of the new release being out by then? It's super fun to watch a comic movie and then come home and get a game of Scape in, using the figures featured in the film. We did it for Thor, and Captain America. They are drafted quickly though so ya better hope ya roll high, if ya wanna get one.

[johnny139]

I'd see Avengers, but I still haven't seen Thor or Captain America yet... I mean how can I justify renting 'em when I have so many FREE movies to watch, y'know? But I'm mighty tempted to just skip ahead and see Avengers because why not.

EDIT: Oh, and as a note, Season 2 of Young Justice starts up tomorrow morning! Check the TRAILER (http://youtu.be/UEZqFOFJ2EU): Lobo, Blue Beetle, Wonder Girl, Bumblebee, Adam Strange... gonna be good!

I heard Young Justice was really good. I'm planning to start watching it pretty soon. I loved Teen Titans (Aside from the annoying anime segments), and this looks similar but without the annoying anime segments! :D

[johnny139]

Not at all like Teen Titans, sorry. :p It's more in line with Gargoyles and The Spectacular Spider-Man (Greg Weisman's prior series). Very serious, a lot of focus on the politics and overarching storyline and the psychologies of the characters.

I mean, the B-plot in one episode was just the Justice League sitting around discussing what new heroes they should admit! Like, ten minutes of that. Glorious.

Didn't watch Gargoyles or Spectacular Spider-Man. But my favorite Titans episodes were the whole Slade/Terra plotline, which was dead serious. So I'm liking the series comment! :)

[Yodaking]

As much as I want to see Avengers as soon as it opens, I've gotten to the point where I don't really like watching movies when the theater is packed. I'll most likely see it Monday afternoon after it opens when the theater is maybe 1/4 of the way full.

Man, I haven't been to a full theater in a long time, come to think of it. Last movie I saw in theaters was The Grey. Went with my best friend, and I think there was about 4 other people in the entire audience. :lol:
Awesome movie, though.

Heh, got your pm, Griff. I'm not worried. :-)

[Yodaking]

Had a Classic Tournament today in Austin MN that was a lot of fun. However, it was not held at a gaming store so I didn't get my normal toy/gaming browsing/shopping in, so I headed to Toys R Us on the way home.

Was kind of looking for the new Avengers Movie Gravity feed but my only TRU didn't have it. Scored a nice Handful of Heros pack when a Gladiator Hulk caught my eye. Also had a Red Hulk figure that I will paint up for my C3G figure and a pretty nice Sabertooth figure. A Cyclopes, Magneto, & Spiderman round out the better figures in pack.

I then decided to hit up the local Target to see if they had the Avengers Gravity feed and hit pay dirt. It was located right up front by the baseball/magic cards section near the register. Ended up with a Loki, Heimdall, Agent Coulson, & Skull Infiltrator figure. Took a quick walk through the regular toy section too and a super sweet World War Hulk 3 3/4" action figure has hanging on the front row so I snatched it up too.

Use to do a lot of toy hunting but have not done much in quite a while now because it has been easier to just order what I want on line. So getting out in a B&M store and getting a nice score was nice. Here is a pic of my haul, it is not a very good/clear pic but you get the idea.

[johnny139]

Wow, you hit paydirt with that Loki - on eBay it sells for $30 minimum.

[tcglkn]

Not the Heimdall figure I am planning to use for my design but you'll definitely want to have a figure for him. :)

$5 on T&T. The other version is about $4.

[Yodaking]

Wow! I knew it was a good find when I saw it but I didn't know it was $45 good. The Red Skull with the cosmic cube and Odin are both worth a bunch so I did think the Loki w/cosmic cube was a good one.

Not the Heimdall figure I am planning to use for my design but you'll definitely want to have a figure for him. :)

Looking forward to it. Started thinking about ideas for his card as soon as I left the store but I'll table those thoughts now and wait to see what you do with him.

Wish I had a comic/gaming shop in the area that carried the larger gravity feed with the 3 figure army packs but my buddy said he already checked out the only one in this area and they don't have one so it will be online purchases for those.

I've actually got his design in the design phase currently. I'll be running the tests when I get home next week so he could hit playtesting next Saturday but that would be the earliest. Keep your eyes peeled. 8)

Hey, maybe we should work out the details of your proposal on Skype, Griff, and then see who we could get to sign up for that program. :-)

[tcglkn]

You could always use Kickstarter, make a list of figures you'd be willing mold, then set up various donation tiers with the number of figures you'd be willing to mold if the person donated that much.

[IAmBatman]

You could probably put just plain customization stuff on there too, like if you wanted to customize an Oracle for someone.

Anybody here ever play Munchkin? One of the first hobby games I ever got into. I'm pretty sure it even predates my 'Scape playing. Awesome game, but it does get old after a million times of playing it, and all the different versions aren't really that different. But the Superhero and Spy versions go together pretty well! :D

Anyway, I've been fiddling around with some ideas for a superhero card game that plays slightly like a Muchkin, with some HS-like dice rolling involved. Trying to figure out a new game that's unique is pretty darned hard! It all kind of started with me thinking up my own superheroes, and wanting to make my own "superhero universe," so I'm hoping it'll get somewhere eventually, haha! I fall in love with my own characters too easily, and don't want to see them get lost. :p (Like that Star Wars fan film trilogy I wrote at the beginning of high school. I STILL am obsessed with the story and characters from that, haha!)

[IAmBatman]

That sounds super cool LP. I really hope you stick with it and make it into a game that we can all either print and play or purchase. Keep us informed, please.

[Hahma]

I was rooting around through some boxes of old classic scape stuff I have and dug up some modified figures I did a long time ago. Brought back some fun memories of some fun creations. Two of them are made from the same classic figure :)

You guys have got to play Munchkin at some point. If you didn't know, it's a D&D spoof (At least the original version is). It's pretty hilarious. Lots of backstabbing and such.

As an example, I went to a gaming convention one time, and a group of people played the Cthulhu version, and the winner walked away with a prize. I got in on it. I managed to win by being the biggest d!ck of them all, and that's how the game plays! :D There was a horrible beast, and I teamed up with someone who couldn't beat it. I then played a special item that let me escape for free, after guaranteeing that he couldn't beat it on his own. Therefore I got away stealing the treasure, while he was killed by the monster. I was dubbed Sir-kills-a-lot for the rest of the game, and nobody trusted me since. It was awesome.

And before you guys think I'm just mean, the game is meant to be played that way. It says backstab your buddies on the front cover, and half the cards help you beat up your opponents. What I did was just a bit extra nasty, since he thought I was on his side.



And Hahma, no I haven't heard of that game. Just goes to show that there's no originality left in the world. Ah well, if I finish it, I bet mine'll be different, at least slightly. :lol:

[Hahma]

That is 4 guys there.

I looked into buying the material earlier this year, and I just reconfirmed it, the cost of the material that I need is $250.

I wonder, how many figures do you think you should get for every $20 dollars you put up?

Also, the more people we get into doing this, the cheaper it is for everyone.

[Griffin]

Those customs are Great Hahma. I especially like the white faced marro barbarians.

[Red Eyed Jedi]

Munchkin is a super fun game, backstabbing your buddies shouldn't be that much fun. :twisted:
I've been working on a rules mod for the Zombies board game, using Marvel hero's instead of the players piece. I found some Marvel hero's (Wolverine, Cap, Spidey, Thor, etc ) about the right scale. They look like they came from a high end gum ball machine, painted well, in nice action posses.

[Griffin]

Are you talking about Twilight's Creation Zombies!!! game?

Thanks Griff. Those are of course Tarn/Marro combo. You can't see it from these pictures, but I had carved the exposed parts of their arms down to look like bones and painted them white as well. Notice I reused a couple of the Tarn's heads as trophies mounted on these guy's shields. :twisted:

The two guys in the front are both made from Finn. One is a Roman Champion and the other is an Orc Champion

Then there's the modern Raelin with a big sword and a gun.

Agent Carr on his Carr Glider :)

Syvarris with Finn's cloak and fancier get up.

Finally there's Ne-Gok-Sa. Nothing too fancy, just added some Raelin wings and some black and red paint. My least favorite of them.

I'm not feeling it, frankly. :shrug: Maybe because it's been so long since The Dark Knight, but I don't really care about Batman anymore. Or Bane. Or Catwoman. No hook.

Yeah, the trailers to Nolan movies can sometimes be a bit underwhelming. He's picky about making sure that the moviegoer has plenty of surprises . . . especially about the plot. That said, The Dark Knight has really cool trailers. TDKR hasn't had bad trailers, imo, they aren't great either. I'm WAY excited tho. Contrast this w/ Michael Bay films . . . the trailers make them look like the greatest thing since Heroscape but I almost always leave the theatre feeling like the story just lacked a few plot points.

Anyway, I'm excited about this summer's movies. My wife got us Midnight tix for Thursday night (working on Friday gonna be terrible). Then we're using our free movie passes that came w/ the Avengers cartoon purchase to go see it for free at a local IMAX 3D. We're so excited!!

Wow! Talk about projected idol worship. What exactly about him in that trailer "grabbed" you? I saw nothing of interest from him. Curious about his place in the story? Sure. But does his presence "grab" me? No more than the kids on the school bus...

Catwoman is very interesting though. Seems like she will be playing on a few different sides when it is convenient. I like that. She has always been opportunistic.

[IAmBatman]

What most piqued my interest is that I'm not sure who was under the cowl in a few of those shots - Bale, or Gordon-Levit.

[johnny139]

It's probably the actors, really. I'm really tired of Bale at this point, am disappointed in Hathaway (from what we've seen; she could turn out great for all I know), and have no real feelings either way on Hardy. Gordon-Levitt DOESN'T do anything in that trailer other than, like, sit next to a kid, but he's still the only one I'm interested in, which is probably a bad thing.

I guess my biggest problem with it is that it doesn't really feel like a Batman movie from that trailer. None of the character seem "Batman-y." I know that's what he's been going for with these movies, and it's definitely their strength, but I'm not geeking out the same way I do when I see Captain America or Iron Man or what have you.

It'll be a good (or even great) movie, but I'm not excited for it. I've never been excited for any of his other movies, either, though. :shrug:

[Griffin]

Joss Whedon definitely embraces the comic side of things a bit more, that is for sure.

Anybody out there have one or two Handful of Heroes Iron Man MK I / II figures for sale or trade?

Captain, belay that request.

It suddenly occurred to me that whatever 'IT' is, you can find 'IT' on ePay. So I just ordered a pair of HoH Iron Men, an HoH Hulkbuster and an HoH Red Hulk.

[Griffin]

Did you get it all from the same seller?

How much total money did you spend, sorry if that is too nosy?

[Porkins]

Same seller, each figure was $1. Shipping was a bit steep at $2.50 for the first and $.25 each additional item, so the total was about $7. I looked at the other figures he was selling, but that was all I needed.

[Griffin]

$7.25 isn't too great really. That is $1.81 per unpainted/unbased figure. Still, I know what it is like when you really want something. I am just accustomed to buying Clix for about 50 cents and buying a lot of them at once to keep the shipping cost low per figure.

Thanks for answering. I was curious because it seems impossible to start a Kickstarter for me to get molding supplies for people who want cheap molded figures.

[IAmBatman]

I paid $53 for 3 figures the other day ... :lol: (they were, at least, huuuge figures).

[Yodaking]

Well, those handful of hero packs cost around $7 for me at Toys R Us and you get 8 figures. Of the 8, I'm happy if I can get 4 that I actually want so I figure it costs me just under $2 each per desired figure. Since you can kind of see 7 of the figures, I only buy a pack with 4 or more figures I want and that is not always possible, especially once you have bought a few packs because then you have to start avoiding doubles. Then the last mystery figure is a crap shoot, you may or may not get one you want or like. So I think he did okay considering he only ordered exactly what he was looking for. Of course I suppose I could sell the figures I don't want to cut down on my cost.

[IAmBatman]

I almost took a third shot before I found a $35 Galactus action figure on Amazon and decided to just bite the bullet and go proxy! If anyone ever does land a Galactus Heroclix figure, though, be sure to post pictures! We'll need them eventually. :-)

[puzzlemonkey]

Two Huge boxes: A Giganto and a Galactus! Man, they're big. Can't imagine them on a 'Scape map.

[IAmBatman]

You actually got those, Puzzlemonkey? :-) Man, we've gotta get you to post in the photo depository. I could definitely see us using at least one if not both of those on cards at some point.

Out of curiosity, how many hexes do those two take up on the battlefield and how tall are they?

I take a small pen-light with me so I can see what the 'secret figure' is. I got one that had the old school Iron Man in the seven and also as the 'secret figure', score. I also used to take a small magnifying glass but I usually only need the light. If you are finding HOH first release packs, then you are lucky. I need to check my local Toys R Us, I think we still have one.

[tcglkn]

Great pull puzzlemonkey. I'd love to know how many spaces on the battlefield Galactus takes up especially.

[puzzlemonkey]

I'll get some photos up soon. It's my wife's birthday, so I won't be working on it tonight, though... :)

[tcglkn]

Well we definitely understand the real life issues, and it's not like we need the pictures today or anything. I was just expressing my interest in seeing good pictures of the real figure.

[puzzlemonkey]

Oh, no. I wasn't feeling pressured. I'm eager to get some stuff shot. I will add everything to the Depository when I do the next round, too.

[IAmBatman]

puzzlemonkey, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. :-D

[Porkins]

I am just accustomed to buying Clix for about 50 cents and buying a lot of them at once to keep the shipping cost low per figure.

Yeah, me too. In this case I got a few figures that are expensive or hard to find as clix (or I hate the Red Hulk clix that is affordable), so I didn't mind paying a bit more. I also just made a large clix order with a Battlesuit Lex for $3.50 and then a pile of other figures that were mostly $.10 - $.20. Again, shipping was a bit steep, but the per figure price was still pretty good. It's a retailer that I haven't used before, eventhorizon1984.com. I think some other C3G'er must be buying from them too, because somebody bought the Mysterios, a Red Tornado and a Vulture out from under me.

Of course I suppose I could sell the figures I don't want to cut down on my cost.

This is the way I see it too. Basically, it boils down to the fact that I think the blind purchase model is a bunch of crap for the consumer and I refuse to participate. I'd rather buy singles of exactly what I want, even if the price is a bit higher per figure.

[IAmBatman]

I'll only ever go blind purchase if it's a case where I have nothing in the set and I want pretty much everything in the set. Then I'll happily take a stab at one blind booster (maybe two), be happy with the rarer stuff I get, then buy everything else in the secondary market.

I liked the part about Superman...I have long felt the same, but have never been able to articulate it quite so well:

Batman beats Superman because when your idea of the perfect hero is "super invincible and he can do anything," you're 7 years old. Which is cool, and we're glad you love comics, but you are 7 years old.

[IAmBatman]

I think it works very well ... as long as you're willing to see Superman as the villain and Lex as the hero. :-D

And Superman is a character that demands a psychological touch. If you want "smash bang pow" superheroes he's generally kind of boring, but if you want to question what it means to be a hero, what to stand for, what life to live, what your true self is... there is no better icon than Superman.

All-Star Superman man was what I was thinking when I said I liked him as an idea. Superman works best for me when he's used as an ideal, something to live up to, a metaphor for humanity's potential. Despite not being a fan of Superman, All-Star Superman (there's no good way to shorten that title is there?) is my favorite comic. I absolutely love it, and that page is just great. I have no shame in admitting that I've actually teared up when reading it.

I don't want to hype up All-Star Superman for anyone, but if you haven't read it, go do so.

[puzzlemonkey]

Okay, so:

Full Galactus pix here (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showpost.php?p=1602680&postcount=587).

For scale reference:

http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/6463/galactusbase.jpg

The fact that he's wider than a regular base is a pain, but the fact that his feet are longer than a single hex is what'd make him really difficult. Still... Galactus.

He's gotta be some kind of event hero anyway, right?

[Yodaking]

Well I think I can find some boots to use as a proxy, no need for the rest of him since everyone will be focused on breaking his ankles.

What about the guys on ladders or with ranged weapons? :lol:

Now that is a good pic idea. Puzzlemonkey, you think you can take a pic of Wolverine climbing up a ladder to hit Galactus in the balls? The ladder shouldn't be attached to anything, just leaning up against Galactus like a scaling ladder on a castle wall. That would be pretty sweet.

I expected a lot out of the Avengers after hearing nothing but good things about it. When I saw it at midnight I was blown away. My parents are making me go see it again today with my sister. 8)

I loved the way they all fought and bickered and didn't get along, but Loki brought them together in the end. Pretty much like the comics only a bit more believable.

That would actually be pretty funny. Hulk, Ironman, and the rest all doing a dance routine in full costume. Thriller would be a good song and video for them to copy.

Jackpot!! Just had 2 of the Avengers Heroclix team packs arrive in the mail today and landed:

The Warriors Three: Fandral, Hogun, & Volstagg

Howling Commando Rescue Team: Capt. America (WWII version), Gabe Jones (Black soldier), & Dum Dum Dugan.

With Dum Dum in the May releases and the warriors 3 hitting play testing this week I scored 4 new C3G figures that I wanted and didn't have. Love the WWII Capt. sculpt too and Gabe Jones fits in well with some other army soldier types I have been assembling for a future unique military squad.

Of course, looking at the box I would have been pretty happy with the Frost Giants, Hydra Assault Squad, and Mystery Military Force too so my odds were pretty good.

At the tourney I had last weekend, I won a $10 gift card to a place called sci-fi genre. This is a website I had never heard of before so I checked them out and found that they were selling the 3 packs (@ $6.75) that I can't buy locally. Two packs plus S&H came to $19.40, minus the $10 gift card, so for only $9.40 I landed a pretty good lot.

So after spending some more time on the Helicarrier map idea this is all I could come up with.

Based on the Helicarrier as seen in the Avengers movie:

http://cdn.chud.com/e/ef/ef5659c8_vlcsnap-2012-03-15-12h24m21s193.png

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b332/yodaking/Helicarrierv2.jpg

I restricted myself to 2 RotV, 2 BftU, 2 Marvel, & 1 Castle set. It is really hard to get the runway look you want on both air strips due to the limited number of tiles you get in the Marvel sets. So only the lower deck is detailed like a runway.

[IAmBatman]

That's pretty good! I tried a similar concept, but I like yours a lot better. :-) One thing I did differently that I wouldn't mind seeing on yours is I put level 1 shadow tiles where you have water tiles.

[Yodaking]

I played around with that idea, but I use 24 water tiles on my map and only 16 shadow tiles come in two BftU sets.

[IAmBatman]

I played around with that idea, but I use 24 water tiles on my map and only 16 shadow tiles come in two BftU sets.

Ah, gotcha. I still think the water tiles would look better at level 1, though, if that's possible.

[Griffin]

OK ok ok, now I want to take my stab at making the map. :lol:

Really great work there Yoda King. I can tell what it is as soon as I look at it, unlike any other one I have seen so far.

[tcglkn]

It might be cool if the Helicarrier was surrounded by water that was "sky" and only Fliers could enter Sky spaces without having to roll for Extreme Falling damage (Same odds as molten lava)

[Yodaking]

I played around with that idea, but I use 24 water tiles on my map and only 16 shadow tiles come in two BftU sets.

Ah, gotcha. I still think the water tiles would look better at level 1, though, if that's possible.

That was how I had it at first but I ran out of single wall walk tiles so I had to use the 7 & 9 wall walk hexes, which forced me to move the water tiles up on top of them.


It might be cool if the Helicarrier was surrounded by water that was "sky" and only Fliers could enter Sky spaces without having to roll for Extreme Falling damage (Same odds as molten lava)

Yeah, my first attempt was surrounded by water/sky tiles but this one ended up too big to fully surround. Even with something like 66 water tiles from all those sets wasn't enough to do it.

If you start bumping up the number of master sets required, you can do a few more things. I was just trying to keep the required sets to a minimum so more people could actually build it.

I can add a few more sets and tinker with it some more if you guys want. A RttFF set would give me more of the wall walk/road tiles. Another BftU set (3 in total then) would let me use shadow tiles in place of the current water ones. Might have enough water to surround it after those additions, not sure though. Maybe 2 more Marvel would be enough to tile the top deck like a runway too, but that is 4 Marvel sets it total which is quite a bit.

I've done too many of those "epic post count posts" at this point. :-P I think when I hit the next one, I'll just go "yay C3G :nether:"

[tcglkn]

You mean in about a week when you hit 50,000 posts? :lol:

[IAmBatman]

Might take two weeks.

[Griffin]

Might take a couple of days. :D

[Tornado]

Does the post count go to 100k? Or will Bats roll over his odometer at the end of the year? :)

[Yodaking]

I had a big post for #1000. The timing really worked out well for that one. But when I noticed I was getting close to 2000, I didn't have any thing up my sleeve so I just let it pass without doing anything. Figure I'll wait for 10,000 before I do anything special but you never know, maybe 5000 will get the royal treatment.

[IAmBatman]

Does the post count go to 100k? Or will Bats roll over his odometer at the end of the year? :)

Good question! I hope 100k posts doesn't break the site! :-)

Maybe at 100k he gets a new title. Since Onacara already has "Postmaster General", Bats will have to be "Postmaster-In-Chief."

[Griffin]

I used 2 Marvels, 2 Castles, and 2 Underdarks.

Griff! guess what? that's exactly the same photo i'm using to design my own printable helicarrier map, what do you think? do you mind checking my link (http://db.tt/Ss17iGSC)

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, for the sunken propellers, Yodaking's hits the mark a lot better. Actually, with those battlements, it looks kind of like the giant alien ship from the Avengers movie. :-)

[IAmBatman]

Omael - are the propellers meant to cut off like that?

Edit: That does make me think, though, if we could create some sort of DO with a SHIELD symbol sticker on it, it could really help sell some of these maps.

[Griffin]

Hey, I said that I wanted to try, cause it looked like everyone else was having fun doing it. But i didn't expect everyone to really hate the map so much.... :reapershrug:

Well I am one and done on it. Good luck to whoever else braves the challenge - it's a tough crowd in here. :runaway:

[johnny139]

No offense to any of the others, of course, but I still really like A3n's best. It's abstract enough to be a really fun map (or at least, it LOOKS like a really fun map), but instantly recognizable as the Helicarrier.

[Griffin]

Where is it again? I want something talk $#!+ about. :p

[johnny139]

HERE (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?p=1597626#post1597626) it is! A bit flat, but, well, that's kind of a given, I think. :lol:

[IAmBatman]

To me it's a close race between A3n's and Yodaking's. I like elements of both.

[omael]

I was thinking of adding the propellers with 7-hex pieces to give it some volume, Also the map is meant to be built on top of it

[Griffin]

I bet the gallery goes up this week. Why do I guess that? Because the function of clicking a user's name and viewing what thread they are in is back online, so that means someone is working on the site. :D

I also have to mention, though I'm sure you already knew it, that puzzlemonkey is a super awesome guy! He sent me a couple Mysterios for my Mysterio Holograms for free, just because I mentioned that somebody bought them out of my cart.

Thanks pm!

(Now everybody go find some random puzzlemonkey post and rep him)

[Yodaking]

Yeah thanks Porkins, I've been looking at making another Heroclix purchase soon so I'll check out Troll & Toad and see what I can get from them.

[IAmBatman]

Man, I wish I hadn't spent all of my fun money this month on a couple of blind purchase colossal boosters and a $35 Galactus action figure!

[Porkins]

After you mentioned your big booster purchases, I happened to be in a game store that evening...they had only one box and I was able to peek in the top just enough to see some flames: D'oh-mammu. If I had seen some purple, I might have bought it.

Speaking of T&T, I've been in order limbo with them for over two weeks. This is the first time I've ever had problems with them, but it's just phone tag over and over, and then them cancelling my order because I haven't called them in time. :roll: Getting a bit pissed. :p

[IAmBatman]

He's pretty sweet, LP, but I'm having a heck of a time getting him to stand up after taking off his Clix base. His cape is ridiculously heavy in the back. If anyone has any tips on that, they'd be much appreciated!

[Yodaking]

Try to counterbalance the cape by adding weight near the front of the new base you use for him. I've seen people add pennies to the bottom of a base to help keep them from falling over. Exactly what would work best for you will depend on what kind of base you are going to put him on now.

[IAmBatman]

I've learned that they do a promo offer every month and that I'll have to stop myself from doing any orders from them before seeing an offer that month! :-) I've ordered at the start of months and seen promos go up after toooo many times!

[Yodaking]

I just bought a bunch a stuff from Troll & Toad, saved $3.02 from the discount code. The code is advertised right on the website too.

Finally added the Hydra faction to my collection. Picked up a figure called Richard Fisk for my Hydra Soldiers. It came out in the Captain America line and is the same sculpt as the Hydra soldiers but with a different name, and much cheaper. Only $.49 for him so I picked up 12 for 3 squads. Then I picked up a pretty cool looking Viper figure (Madam Hydra) from that same line for only $.49 and a Baron Strucker for $4.99. So after the 10% off, it was only $10.22 plus shipping for a whole army.

Also picked up Sif from the Avengers line for $2.99. Since I got lucky and landed the warriors 3 in one of the army packs I bought and Heimdall in a single booster, so she completes the Thor allies set for me. Except for Beta Ray Bill who I can't seem to find in stock at a decent price yet but he is in the new starter set so I should be able to get him sometime soon.

I try to keep my online clix purchases below $2 for the most part. The two figures listed above and Baron Zemo ($1.99) were the only ones that were over $.79 for that order so I have a pretty good haul on it's way. 43 figures in all.

[Tornado]

Nice score Yodaking. Great tip on that Fisk figure!

[IAmBatman]

HYDRA is awesome. :-) Good stuff!

Btw, some assembly might be in order soon ....

[Yodaking]

Yeah, the cost of 12 Hydra soldiers at $1-$1.50 each was what had been keeping me from getting them. Then I just happened upon that Fisk figure while browsing the Captain America line for any last minute additions to my order. Then my $25 order soon turned into a $35 order since I had to have Strucker & Madam Hydra to go along with them. I also picked up a Grim Reaper mini so look for a public design for him from me sometime in the future. I'm such an addict.

[IAmBatman]

Grim Reaper is definitely drafted, but I'm sure we'd all love to see what you write up as well. :-)

[Tornado]

Agreed Bats. I was not too surprised when Zemo shot to the top.

Good to know someone else is working on him then. I don't have anything specific in mind, just want to see him added to the Hydra team. He is a pretty cool character in the tv show.

[Hellfire]

Man, I wish I hadn't spent all of my fun money this month on a couple of blind purchase colossal boosters and a $35 Galactus action figure!

Cool! Where'd you find that? I keep scanning stores and the Web for a good Galactus action figure to use as a proxy but have failed thus far.

[IAmBatman]

I found it on Amazon.

[puzzlemonkey]

Somebody had asked for size references for the Galactus Clix a while back. Finally got to it. A couple normal sized figures, the delightfully outsized Dum Dum Dugan, and a Green Construct.

Also, I mention this: bought another Super Booster today, hoping to not get another Giganto, peeked inside... Galactus! So I have one for C3G, and one for a hood ornament when I finally get that Cadillac...

Sweet! You should trade that other Galactus to a good home, though! I'm sure there's gotta be someone willing to give up a king's ransom for him. :-)

[Yodaking]

Been doing a little figure painting of late and wanted to share the results. Too many figures to go around and put each one in their book so here is just a single shot of all of them.

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b332/yodaking/Heroscape/City%20Scape/IMG_1494.jpg

Wanted to give my Doc Ock figure a green suit, which turned into a full repaint job. Made myself a Hulkbuster figure out of an Iron Monger and did the Stealth Suit Iron Man repaint as well. The War Machine and Mark II figures were the handful of heros guys that needed paint. Then the last figure is a Mechwarrior clix figure that I'll be using as my Green Construct. It isn't 14 hexes high but will have to do for me since I missed out on the BK figures. I actually kind of like it not being so big anyways, then he can fit into more places on the building heavy boards I like to make.
