I prefer Grifflepuff. :)

[Karat]

I prefer Grifflepfluff. :)
I think this is better:p

[IAmBatman]

Maybe we should all come up with nicknames for Griffin? :p

I like Griffindork as a classic Harry Potter reference. I think Bats started that one.

Not my work, but I did seek to popularize it. I forget who came up with that golden nugget ... Merv Griffindork is the full version, though. :-)

It may have been a Helm production, in which case I fully own it as my name and endorse it as the best one on the site. :D

Any plans for an Agent Zero, Rouge or Kestrel? I know Gambit is in the works. Seems like there are still a few mutants that could fill a booster/wave.

:cheer::shock::cheer::shock::cheer::shock::cheer:

I think he went through playtesting a while ago. I could be wrong though.

[gorthan313]

Heh. Just noticed IAB's awesome new avatar!

[Griffin]

Gambit has been in brainstorming since the beginning of the year, other than that, nothing has been done. Though that should give you guys an idea on how thorough and conscious we are.

[Karat]

I can't wait to see him, I've always loved Gambit, and am curious to see how you guys have done him.

I thought so, too. :p In one of my first 'Clix purchases, I nabbed a Gambit, since I thought I remember seeing him playtested :p Haha!

We have some sort of time rift! Ahhh!

[Scapemage]

I've found someone selling tons of Heroclix really cheap. Is it ok to tell us who hasn't been playtested but's in the works so I can nab them ahead of time?

Definitely enough mutants we've drafted to fill a wave, but they haven't been big priorities to design right now for the most part. We are trying to diversify, you know. :-) And Wave 1 and Wave 2 gave us a whole bunch of them.

We actually do the brainstorming in a separate thread (same thread we draft our stuff in - it's a pretty cool set up, actually).

I didn't think someone would have a design in the Brainstorming Phase for 10 months. I thought you guys only had one design open per person at a time, but I don't know how things work in the Sanctum. :shrug:

We're going to try to do them all (mostly) anyway at some point, so grab what you can. I don't buy based on what we have in the works, I buy what I can when I can. I don't always get the one that's on the card because if I can get the same character for $.89 instead of $4, then I will unless I really like that character. I'm personally not that all into "having" to have what's on the card, I'd rather have more clix for my money for the most part. :D

[LordEsenwienIV]

I have been having some ideas for some scenarios, like the big one that is in SotM Master set. Should I post them here?

A bit late to the party there. :p

Street Fighter and Star Trek are also planned as semi-compatable HeroClix releases. More likely to come. As for what they could actually put in an Iron Maiden booster... well, I'm as stumped as you are.

I had heard about Street Fighter and Star Trek, but I missed this one. I guess noone's really talking about it. :D

[Hahma]

Great find Balantai! Iron Maiden is my all time favorite band. I'll have to get me some of that.

Just as an aside: Bruce Dickenson (the lead singer of Iron Maiden) is also a pilot and fly's the band, equipment and roadies around the world in a 737 or 757 or something pretty huge. He's also fly's for a charter airline in Europe in his spare time too.

Yes, you do. I requested to buy a bunch from this guy. I'm hoping he still has them all. Green Arrow (yes, the right one) and Count Vertigo are among 20 others.

Come on, I highly doubt those blind booster bricks only have 8 different types of figures. That would be marketing suicide. 8 figure sets only sell as non-blind starter sets.

I would be shocked if that is what they really end up doing.

WizKids revealed at Comic-Con that it will release an Iron Maiden HeroClix game in the first half of 2011. The stand-alone game will start with eight to ten figures, followed by another series to get up to twenty figures fairly quickly, according to WizKids CEO Lax Chandra. “The sculpts will be great,” Chandra said.

Packaging will be in a trading figure format (individual blind boxes), with the final display configuration yet to be determined.

[DEATHWALKER 1970]

Iron Maiden figures I can live without (unless you use some for C3G projects... The music of my misspent youth was punk, industrial, shoegazer, and indie stuff like the Pixies.) but I think I would like to have some Trek figures, and can´t wait to see what other franchises they´ll branch into...
What next?
Narnia?
Avatar?
Zelda?
Wrestlers?
Buffy?
My little Pony?

[quozl]

TMNT, I hope.

[tcglkn]

Harry Potter Clix would be awesome! :woot:

[GreyOwl]

If I could choose, I'd vote for G.I. Joe, Masters of the Universe, Harry Potter, and Indiana Jones. :)

[tcglkn]

I'd love to see some good Star Wars Clix as well.

[GreyOwl]

Well, there are already tons of Star Wars minis. Those other genres don't really have any alternatives.

Actually another one I'd really like to see is military. A nice set would be a mix of all military, from the Civil War to Modern, including WWI and WWII, and from various countries and branches of the armed forces. It's surprisingly hard (impossible) to find prepainted 28-32mm military figures...

WarClix. I could see that being pretty cool. I'd love some great military units (could even, if successful, stretch back to pre-modern warfare as well). A great idea.

I'd also love to see TMNT added. They would be a fun addition.

The think I miss most is great sci-fi units. Not Star Wars or Trek, but a broader sense of sci-fi. I'd love to see SpaceClix or StarClix or something. Space Marines, Aliens, etc.

[GreyOwl]

I think TMNT could easily be included into the existing HeroClix, under the Indy line.

[1Mmirg]

Yeah, I'm surprised it hasn't already happened. I'm guessing that TMNT may want too much to use it's rights or something. Seems like an easy addition to the line, just likely harder to pull off for behind the scenes issues.

[GreyOwl]

Maybe the licensing fee isn't worth it for the total number of figures. I mean, how many figures could they actually make? 5-6?

[tcglkn]

Maybe the licensing fee isn't worth it for the total number of figures. I mean, how many figures could they actually make? 5-6?

They could make a ton of them, it depends on how many they want to make. There are tons of TMNT character, your just thinking of the main ones. 8)

[1Mmirg]

Maybe the licensing fee isn't worth it for the total number of figures. I mean, how many figures could they actually make? 5-6?

Depends on what they want to do. There are plenty of baddies available--from all the different iterations of the Turtles.

I'm not a huge TMNT guy, but my brother has everything TMNT ever printed (pretty much). There really is a lot. For good guys, you're more limited, though there are secondary figures available. For bad guys, there are mountains of them.

Part of the challenge though, I think, would be keeping things even across the TMNT's various incarnations. They'd almost have to consider doing them as groupings around different periods--and then that would allow for the turtles to be redone a few times as well, perhaps.

Anyhow, I really don't know. I don't follow it, but there certainly are an easy 7-8 good guys and than a fair number of bad guys, depending on where you look.

[whitestuff]

I want Asterix figures...

or 80's one-hit wonders pop stars...

[GreyOwl]

Oh, AsterixClix would be awesome!

About 30 years ago, I used to buy and paint WWII and American Civil War figures that were 15mm size. Those were great and a perfect size for having massive battles on green felt covered tables with mountains and trees and such. I'd bet even those small sized figures could be converted to HS maps. We used to put several of the figures on a single base to represent a squad, company, battalion or whatever. I would think that useing a glyph sized base, it could be done for HS. I had some tanks and halftracks too and I bet they could fit on double bases.

The one thing I don't miss about those I guess is the painting of them, as a teenager I had more free time for such things.

[mrcrimson]

That rabbit samurai from tmnt was awesome. I'd love a mini of him and casey jones.

Yeah, finding prepainted ones is the problem.:? I know there are prepainted Axis & Allies minis for at least WWII stuff, and they're 10m-15mm. I was considering using those on Heroscape maps and making some rules to allow multiple friendly figures to be on the same hex. Not sure how that would work out. But the figures aren't too cheap, so I may not do it.

[IAmBatman]

That rabbit samurai from tmnt was awesome. I'd love a mini of him and casey jones.

Totally had that action figure.
TMNT and Masters of the Universe clix would be about the only two things with enough pull to get me involved with a side project right now.

[johnny139]

I'm 100% behind TMNTClix. I'm not a huge fan, but, come on - the four turtles, April, Casey, Splinter... against Shredder and hordes of Foot Ninjas and Mousers! It'd be behind that for sure.

Besides that and Street Fighter (which we're actually getting somehow!), I'd really only like to see - maybe - some manga characters. If only to play out that Superman vs. Goku fight that's every fanboy's wet dream.

[Scapemage]

Anyone heard about the Green Lantern movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1133985/) expected or 2011? I hope it will be decent.

[IAmBatman]

Um ... yeah. Spidey's posted a bunch of promotional material for it in this very thread. :-)

[DEATHWALKER 1970]

That rabbit samurai from tmnt was awesome. I'd love a mini of him and casey jones.

The rabbit samurai actually has his own series, and only guest starred with the turtles. His name is Usagi Yojimbo, and his book is worth reading.

Turtles Clix would be nice, and deinitely a franchise I´d be interested in, for Scape conversions, of course! :D

The next musical Clix project after Iron Maiden should definitely be classical composers! :p

[Griffin]

Really? I had no idea. :p Nah, just kidding. I have been following this one for over a year. I think it has very big potential for success and failure, hopefully success.

I didn't see any of the other superhero cameos on the cast list that I was hoping for, but I did see Amanda Waller.

Range 1. Attack 3.
After attacking with the 1812 Overture Special Attack, fire a cannon at someone.

[Lord Pyre]

GO FOR BAROQUE
After taking a turn with Mozart, you may take a turn with up to 4 Unique Composer Heroes you control.

Mozart is classical, not Baroque. Total theme break, there.

BEETHOVEN'S FIFTH
After attacking with Beethoven, you may attack with Beethoven four additional times.

But actually, Beethoven's 5th had the 4 note motif. Just because it was his 5th symphony doesn't mean we should ignore the entirety of the actual song.





;)

[IAmBatman]

Mozart inspired Baroque ... that's what I was going for. :-P And I meant Beethoven's fifth attack, not symphony. :-D

[davidlhsl]

Oh, now this is rich!!! I'm seeing the Nashville Symphony perform Stravinsky's Rites of Spring this weekend.

I *love* the 1812 Overture Bats posted, but I'm trying to get my rep gun loaded for Anti-Monitor.

My version of Wagner:

WAGNER'S RING CYCLE
Whenever you take a turn and use Wagner's Ring Cycle, you must take 15 hours.

[Lord Pyre]

Mozart inspired Baroque ... that's what I was going for.

:wtf:

...Mozart was inspired by Baroque. Get your eras in order!!!!

Well it's a bad day for Heroscape, but it could be a good day for C3G and other customizing groups/projects. With WotC saying they are done, wemay be able to see our work and other well balanced and thought out custom units may be able to make it into the tournament scene. Sorry I havn't been around here lately, it in no means that I'm done with Scape or C3G, I found out that my computer that was supposed to have been fixed isn't, and getting into town right now isn't an option with a sick wife who needs me to take care of her as well as our kids has put a damper on pretty much all ofmy activites right now. As soon as I can though I'll be back full swing.

Not sure about that ... I'd be shocked if an official copycat of C3G doesn't spring up ... in fact, I'm mentally debating whether or not it's something I should be involved in. But I love me some Superheroes and wouldn't want divided attention damaging the quality of what I do.

I would love to see some of the Official designers get together a start up a customs group like this! I would lurk in there but this is my home on the site. I love you guys and all the fun jokes and nicknames we have. You guys have helped me a lot and given me endless excitement. <end mush>

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, I could see helping get it off the ground and ensuring it's done with the same quality and passion that C3G is, but this is my long term home as well. I just don't have the passion for creating customs that aren't Superhero related to sustain me over the long run.

[GreyOwl]

Personally, I think the best approach is for us to kick it off with the ultimate goal of handing it over to other qualified heroes after they've been properly trained.

Nothing wrong with waiting until the FF4 release. Especially if we announce we will be doing it, then I think people would be willing to wait.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I can't do it alone. We need more than just one hero to kick it off.

[tcglkn]

A Hero and two Sidekicks is a pretty decent start. We would probably want to get a few of the major customs designers that don't design mostly Marvel customs.

[GreyOwl]

A hero and a sidekick wouldn't be enough. You have no idea how much work is involved behind the scenes. You'd need one hero, almost full time, just for the artwork...

[IAmBatman]

Even if I got involved in another project this would still be my main project. I might just post less than 50 times a day over here. :-P

I say we start up a thread in the Customs section and see what kind of response we get. :shrug:

[GreyOwl]

If we want it as high quality as this C3G, we can't just recruit random people. We need the experience of at least some of the Heroes here. People experience at already being a Hero, so they can train the next group. Starting over completely from scratch with mostly new people would be a huge gamble, and would take a lot more time.

How about trying to get some of the "inactive" Heroes like Matt Helm and Balantai. :shrug:

[johnny139]

Let's carry that banner, eh?

As for C3G Classic... the classic custom forum has no shortage of eager, intelligent custom makers. It's just far less centralized than it is here. I think we should see how the society grows rather than go all colonial on 'em.

[quozl]

Matt Helm and A3n might be willing. Check out this announcement from Matt Helm's thread yesterday:

A3n and I are teaming up again (hence the branding change to the deserved Helm "A" verse rather than Helmiverse) to bring the custom community a little bit of fun in another area of the game that has been left behind over the last year or so.

Hopefully, we're ready to wreak some havok on the custom world. Watch for a new thread in the traditional custom card forum.

In the last 30 minutes alone, I've seen at least 4-5 posts saying someone should start a "C3G like group for classic HS". If we don't do it, I guarantee someone else will. The Custom Master Set project is already trying to take up the mantle.

It seems like we have plenty of interest from allies and sidekicks. I haven't heard anything from any Heroes, though.

Well, if you're looking for an extra Hero (or just a good spellchecker), I'm at your disposal. I've said many times, many places, that when Wizards ends things, I'm looking to a C3G-style approach to continuing things along.

Well, I'm looking. Let me know how I can help.

Well I'm here for a lot longer yet. I haven't got everything I want to yet though. We'll probably see the price on ebay go up for a little while now. The stores that still have stock will reduce to clear at Xmas, & then in about a years time we'll probably start seeing cheaper prices on ebay as people slowly just give up on it.

Sad but that's the life of a collectable game.

Cheers

[Griffin]

I bet Master Woo and Agent Skahen go way up in price now. Good for me that I have both. :p

[davidlhsl]

I just noticed that A3n doesn't have a title, so I've nominated him for the title "The REAL Superman" over in the Title Advocacy Thread (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showpost.php?p=1250137&postcount=1295).

Darn, I recently got Skahen but I still need a Master Woo...

[whitestuff]

I too am Woo-less... :(

[DEATHWALKER 1970]

Woo is the only Scape item I´m missing too... (got a repainted model, the actual pose used, plus professionally double-side printed card, made from hi-res scans)

[Lord Pyre]

Well, you know, I'm not that terribly upset. I bought a little of D1, but the whole D&D theme killed the last two waves for me. Sure, the designers did a great job, but I haven't been excited for them.

I'm REALLY excited for the new C3G master set, however, and I want this to continue for sure!

So... any playtests ready? ;)

Sorry, haven't gotten any work done on Odins' Colliseum. I'll try to push it through at least the first playtest tonight.

You know what, I don't even care anymore, because officially the game is over and WotC can suck it; I am planing on doing a bunch of molding and painting next year, and I would be glad to hook any of my C3G boys up with some figures.

I'm a sore boy and I'll be a bit light on the ground for a day or so...

Oh and kiddies, root canal is nowhere near as fun as it sounds...

[tcglkn]

@Griffin: What type of molding? New figures or just copies of current figures?

@whitey: Hope you feel better soon man!

[GreyOwl]

I might still have a mold of Master Woo still in my garage somewhere...

whitestuff, hope you feel better soon!

Wanna make me one? 8) I would pay you for it.

I'll check if I still have it or not, once we clean out our garage. It's stacked with boxes from our move. I wouldn't charge you more than materials and shipping, though.

[quozl]

Woo Woo! (I'd like a Woo too!)

[GreyOwl]

Of course, if I can't find it, I can always make a new mold. Or of other figures too, though not all. Some are prohibitively complicated to make molds of, meaning I'd have to cut up my original to make the mold which is something I'm not willing to do.

The only other figure I'd want is Deadpool. I just can't stand to pay $8 for him.

And I totally understand you not wanting to destroy your figures.

[GreyOwl]

I don't usually mind cutting one up to make a mold, like a Heroclix figure, as long as I can replace it cheaply. With no more Heroscape being produced though, I wouldn't want to cut one of those up.

[tcglkn]

I totally understand. I would just repaint a monk to make a Woo, but I only have 2 squads and I was waiting on a Wave 2 reprint.

[GreyOwl]

Yeah, my mold is technically of a monk, but you know...same thing. :)

[LordEsenwienIV]

Could someone show me where the M.O.D.O.K. card is?

[IAmBatman]

It's in the Inner Sanctum unreleased right now, sorry. :-) Playtesters have commented on it because they got a sneak peek when they playtested it (they're bound by their honor not to discuss details though, so please respect that!).

[tcglkn]

Hey, I didn't sign a NDA :p

But I wouldn't reveal anything about an unreleased units without express peremission from a C3G Hero.

[tcglkn]

Oh and I got the Kingdom Come book. So far I am enjoying it. :)

[GreyOwl]

I can imagine, he is huge. How much does casting a small figure like Woo cost?

[GreyOwl]

The initial mold would probably run around $5, but then each cast after that would be like 10-20 cents.

[A3n]

Molding is something I have always wanted to get into, especially with the limited supply of HS down here, but the cost of the stuff is also off putting especially when I am not 100% sure it's the right stuff because the local people don't stock any of the products you & others have recommended.

But let me know when & what you are casting as I am sure it would definitely be interested in acquiring nearly anything you produce. Is making a mold of the double peanut base feasible?

Cheers

[tcglkn]

I also would be interested in getting some Peanut bases if you could mold them.

[DEATHWALKER 1970]

Can you order from Smooth On (http://www.smoothon.com/)? I can't find products locally, either - I order from there. The entry cost isn't too high if you start with the smaller trial sizes. Once you learn and know if you like it, you can save by ordering in bulk.

It's Helvetica Neue Pro, and it isn't free. It's a full suite of fonts, and runs about $800.

Actually, I don't believe this is true, Lord Pyre. There is an official font that both A3n and GreyOwl use. I'm not sure what it is, but they will be able to tell you. I know it doesn't exist in GIMP, though.

[GreyOwl]

True, A3n and I use the exact same templates and fonts.

[Lord Pyre]

Hmm, well, the World's Finest cards at least use a different font. :p


Darn, I'd love to see that template, but I usually use GIMP, as I've never taken the time to learn photoshop...

[GreyOwl]

Hmm, well, the World's Finest cards at least use a different font. :p

Yes, actually, that's true. We didn't have the Helvetica Neue Pro font at that time, we only had Helvetica Neue LT. They're very similar, but not exactly the same. I could easily regenerate the World's Finest cards with the new font and template, but we decided not to mess with them so they wouldn't have to be proofed again.


Darn, I'd love to see that template, but I usually use GIMP, as I've never taken the time to learn photoshop...

I'm pretty sure GIMP will load Photoshop files, but we don't share the template.:?

That is correct. I will not ever share the C3G template, but I will gladly send anyone who wants it my own personal template. And admittedly it's very similar to the C3G as I we took elements from my template added to GO's previous template & jointly came up with a few more little twists to create the C3G template.

Anyway if you are after my Photoshop template (seen predominantly in the HelmAverse) send me a pm with your email address & I will send it to you.

I would not be using the C3G template for my personal customs. A3n's is really amazing though. I did change some of the layers up a bit to make it work better for me but he did all the work. A3n is awesome. :thumbsup:

If only I could get him to make a nice Marvel Glyph template... :p But I know he is busy with the C3G right now.

I'm putting together a miniature order and I need a little help. I've been searching through the playtesting thread, and I can't find a reference to what this mini is being used for.


http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu234/hsgriffin/aa006.jpg?t=1283027050

IIRC, it's some kind of bodygaurd-type thing which makes me think they might be uncommon, and I should pick up a couple. Could someone please let me know the name of the custom this figure's being used for?

The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Arkham Asylum set. Its model number and name is 006/Gotham City Detective.

The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Arkham Asylum set. Its model number and name is 101/Crispus Allen.

[GreyOwl]

I think he wants to know the name of the figure on the card, so he can determine how many to buy...

[Lord Pyre]

Ahh! Forgot about the bodyguard! Gonna need to pick a few of him up :p

[Griffin]

He is a body guard that is a common hero. You will NEED at least 3, but you will want 6 I think.

The second half of your interview (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/blog.php?bt=19836#comment19836) is up!

I hope this is the right thread. It seems to be the place for general discussion.

Thanks! Would've even noticed with everything that's been going on if you hadn't mentioned it. And this is definitely the place for general discussion, yeah. :-)

I figured I ought to post it somewhere before it was buried in the Chaos. Honestly the Marvel section seems like the calmest area of Heroscapers right about now.

Also to answer the questions about Swamp Thing. Originally tcglkn and I were going to write a section on the ally exclusives. As we talked about it and started piling more and more stuff on we just decided to do a section on the C3G, so we got IAmBatman involved to help organize the section for us. C3G has a LOT of threads. We decided to do the interview to simplify the section, which was already getting out of control, and I really had no idea what I was doing at that point. I really can't thank IAmBatman enough for helping me out there. At that point we just needed to pick which custom we wanted to feature, which was a joint decision between tcglkn and I. We knew we wanted to do an ally exclusive like in the original plan. At the time was either Swamp Thing or Kilowog. We went with Swamp Thing because it was a much more well known character, and was more eye catching, which was important if we wanted to draw people in. IAmBatman's interview was great, but we still want a good visual header to draw interest.

So basically the whole thing was tcglkn's idea, but IAmBatman put a lot of effort into making it happen. This was a lot of fun and I really can't thank you guys enough for doing this for us.

Not necessarily. Just so you know, and I know why you are asking, no one is really in favor of "rotating positions" in the group for MANY reasons. Now, the group is going to have MANY roles and lots with Sanctum access, with "each member lightly touching the card in a specific role" being the main concept.

We are not going to be cycling members into different roles. That idea sounds great for someone who has ambition to be at the "top", but it isn't something that has proven to work for any business, government, or project that I have seen. People will answer a questionnaire that will help to place them in the group and position that best suits them - like if you joined the military and took an aptitude test to find a good job/placement for you.

Well, she does have good taste. Crosby is one of the best players in the league. I have one of his jerseys as well. Hopefully your dad will cave in and fork over the $140 or so for Center Ice.

[tcglkn]

I think he will. He grew up in PA near Pittsburgh and went to the games about once or twice a season growing up. We went to a game when we were visiting family last Christmas, I'm not a huge hockey fan but I had a blast. I think we are going to try to go to one this Thanksgiving while we are up there, I gotta get an extra day off of work though. :?

Oh and trust me, my sister lets me know at every chance that Sidney Crosby is the best in the league. :)

I have shared my customs over time here and there, but a couple of years ago, I decided that another private collection (I have one all printed out at home) is not what the site really needed, and I didn't want to have something to update all the time. So I focused more on NM24 getting attention and I was one of the first to start playtesting in there. Then me, Bats, and GO started talking about a guild and C3G was finally born.

I have my NM24 Superman and a War Machine floating around here somewhere. But if I did have a customs thread, it would be called the C3G books of index. ;)
