Anyone know of, or make custom glyphs ?

[Visigoth]

I am new to the forum. I have been playing Heroscape for a few months now with three friends. We all have 2 master sets each and several expansions between us. We live in Westminster CO, in case anyone would like to meet up for battle.

I have come up with an idea for a custom permanent glyph I would call THROW, where each of your melee armies would extend their range from 1 to 3. They basically would throw any ax, sword, club, spear or whatever they are holding for a ranged attack while you have a player on the glyph.

We have not play tested it yet (maybe today), but I was wondering if anyone else came up with custom glyph ideas that work well. I searched the forum and did not find anything so deciced to start a new thread. If I missed something let me know.

Welcome to the boards, Visigoth!

On behalf of our axe throwing and glyph grabbing community I extend to you a laurel and a hearty handshake.

Great Idea! But......Wouldn't you have to go and retrieve whatever you were holding???

This topic has indeed been discussed.

Check out Issue 4 of the HS Codex for my article on custom glyphs.

There is also a thread here with some custom glyphs and cards where we can revive the discussion with new glyph concepts, etc:

Glyphs are really not that popular a topic anymore, but they can be fun to use in moderation. :wink:

Thank you for the info. I was not thinking that they would need to pick up their weapons. I consider that part of the 'unseen' action. After all, it seems like archers have infinite arrows when you consider the game at that level of realism. Or they are able to fletch more really fast.

No, they would not have to retrieve their weapons because of the "magic" glyph. The weapons could either return to the thrower's hand (like a magic boomerang effect) or more weapons could "magically" appear for them to use.

Just a thought
