I made this lava about a week ago and I made the castle ruins today. Custom terrain is my second favorite part of Heroscape (just behind actually playing of course). Just wanted to share this with the community.

Here is my busted castle. I got this idea from Leif Kicker's ebay listing.

Updated Busted Castle-6/10. I repainted the battlements and wall walk before adding a little green flock to the ladder and castle walls.

Just thought I'd go ahead and put my flocked terrain here too. It was originally in Grishnakh's thread.

Breathtaking.



Seriously, give me my breath back.

[johnny139]

That castle is NICE! 8)

[da master826]

that is freaken sweet!!!

[Billtog]

The only thing about it that's not absolutely wonderful is how much lighter the wall walk and battlements are than the wall. It doesn't really look that bad though, I'm just trying to give you constructive criticism on a near-perfect job.

Hey I appreciate it. I will go back over it and make them closer in color. Thanks for the compliments and criticism.

[Onacara]

I like them alot...however...I think you took a little too much off of the bottom of the castle. I cannot see structurally how the 2 taller pillars are still standing...perhaps other angles might reveal this

The weights of the two taller towers balance each other out, but I can see how it can seem unrealistic. I will take that into account if I make other similar castle ruins.

Thanks for the comment Onacara.

And Billtog, I repainted the battlements and wall walk to match the castle walls. I'll post those sometime next week, hopefully along with another piece of custom or two.

[InfinityMax]

That busted castle is really cool. That's the kind of thing that would fly off the prize table at one of our tournaments. Consider me really impressed.

[super kyrie]

I like. A lot. Really I do. This was me, seriously, when I first saw it... :shock: .. and then I said to my self "wow". Keep up the good stuff.

Texas is a hotspot? From what I've seen, nobody here even KNOWS about HeroScape. Of course, there are the 8-year olds, but they don't count.

[Menchy]

HSisforcoolkids That is some great terrain. Everything looks to be very high quality as well. Great job.

Great Customs HSiscoolforkids!
I really like the lava it looks alot more realistic than the Official stuff.

I know. Why is Hasbro toning down everything? Water, dice, lava, what's next? *GASP* WILL THEY HAVE A 5-YEAR OLD MAKE THE FIGS?

[HSisforcoolkids]

I just got done making a new custom castle scene. The idea is
that the Tarn Viking Warriors did a poor job guarding an
outpost near Jandar's camp. Hope you all enjoy.

[johnny139]

Wow. Sucks to be a Tarn.

[monkeyfish]

Poor Tarns. So that's what would have happened to them if they weren't summoned by Jandar.

[Billtog]

I love how the pieces of the Vikings are strewn wildly across the battlefield, it shows how crazy the battle was. That moss is fantastic too.


Carnage = Good
Moss = Good
Therefore,
Carnage = Moss

[Syvarris the Ruler]

I only see 3 tarns, did the fourth one get eaten?

Yeah. Krug was Hungry. And that fourth warrior proved difficult to tear cut apart.

[InfinityMax]

I love it! So macabre, and slightly disturbing. Great work!

[HSisforcoolkids]

6/27--->My latest creation, made for a trade with a fellow 'scaper: A Jandarian temple overtaken by Utgar's forces. Thanks for the idea and trade IMax.

[Syvarris the Ruler]

What's with the horsies? But it looks awsome, especially the well and decapitated Thorgrim.Also I love those black minions.

[HSisforcoolkids]

Those are actually statues. The big horse with graffiti on it would be what I picture to be Jandar's main deity (if archkyrie have gods...).

[Syvarris the Ruler]

Ok,that makes more sense.

[Fallen Templar]

Awesome Stuff :up: :up:

[johnny139]

Oh my god, they lynched Thorgrim! Those ********!

Disturbing and awesome.

A bloody Finn is actually under those fallen columns in the background. I hope you weren't a fan of both viking brothers.

[Skeletor]

Ok who let Tod McFarland do a Heroscape expansion?

I actually would love an adult, dark, graphic version of heroscape

[Ugly-Caco]

Ok who let Tod McFarland do a Heroscape expansion?
That's a kickass idea, man! Mcfarlane Toys doing hs expansion should be awsome.

By the way, I love the hanged Tarn, HSisforcoolkids. How about using a chain instead of a thread? It just crossed my mind.

When I first read that comment I was thinking "chain" was some sort of message board lingo that I didn't know.

But then after reading it through three more times I see that you mean using a small chain instead of a piece of yarn to hang the Tarn from. That's a good idea (although I don't know where I'd find such a small chain), but the terrain has been sent off to a distant land-New Jersey. Thanks for the comments.

Use a chain from some cheap necklace.

I love the defaceitated Thorgrim (not really decapitated). The black minions looks great, not to mention the scenery itself. Keep up the awesomesweet work.

I like the chain idea and will try to work it in if and when I get around to making some more stuff. Thanks for the comments.

[hi1hi1hi1hi1]

HSisforcoolkids, you have some great stuff. The castle with the tarns around it is amazing as well as the Jandarian temple. I also like the way you painted that minion of Utgar, the black skin looks awesome. I had a question, how did you chip those columns to make it look destroyed and forgotten? I tried to do that to a set that I have, but discovered it is much harder than I thought. I have a whole new respect and admirance for custom terrain creators.

I think I got the idea from Grishnakh-check out his thread for great ideas: http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=448. I used a Xacto knife to chip it down. The cracks were made with a hammer.

I have checked out Grishnak's thread, all 17 pages of it. I used an Xacto knife as well, maybe it just wasn't sharp enough, but I could barely cut the columns. I'll see if I can get a new blade then try again.

[Ugly-Caco]

Gota love this one! The mane and tail has Jandar's touch and the graffiti is how I imagined Utgar's underlings speak.

[GForce3062]

Your work is disturbing and awesome! Great job! You get an A+ in 'Custom Terrain Builders School'.(Don't ask, I just made that up off the top of my head.) Those black Minions are soooo evil looking. :twisted:

[Cleon]

Wow. Your customs are great! I really admire your destroyed tower and your custom grass. :up:

[TheBomar]

More, we'd like to see more!

[Bach]

This stuff is awesome. :twisted:

[loserguy]

Nice job. That's probably the second best (of hundreds) lava field, molten lava customs I've ever seen.

My favorite by far is definatel the busted castle though.

[cowillis94]

that is freaken sweet!!!
I agree! But, i liked the castle the best! :D

[Nerd_Tendo]

Wow. If I didnt get queasy from the sight of blood, this would have been awsome!

[robopesant]

that is verry cool. :)

[Skeletor]

WE DEMAND MORE BLOODSCAPE!

[HSisforcoolkids]

WE DEMAND MORE BLOODSCAPE!

Bloodscape will resume it's regularly scheduled programming in late August or early September once HSisforcoolkids moves into his new home in a new town.

And I actually want to tone down the blood a bit. People are going to think I'm creepy.

[robopesant]

I like it. Just a thought but on the old burnt castle it might look cool to paint the ladder to look old and burnt.

[EyeOfSauron]

I got to see the black Minion re-paints in person last night...

I thought the minions looked evil as they were, but repainted black and with a little blood thrown in they are scary!

[bad_calvin]

This is the first time I have seen your work and now that I have seen it.. I can't believe I missed this! Great stuff man! You have a very good idea for setting and I appreciate that in terrain builders. I love the horse and the guy hanging by his neck. Very cool. I can't wait to see more!

Thanks for sharing!

[HSisforcoolkids]

EOS-glad you liked them.

Bad Calvin-Your compliment means a lot given the quality of your customs. Thanks!

[HSisforcoolkids]

I finally got around to doing some new stuff now that I'm all moved in to my new house. Here is the Marvel ruin with a little graffiti. I got this idea from Annerios.

The 'Follow Me' rabbit is from The Matrix right....

I have to say the cadavers in the temple are most wicked. I had to say 'cadavers' because corpses didn't sound quite wicked enough heheh.

Yeah I'm a huge fan of the first Matrix.

And yeah, cadavers does sound better. :)

[HSisforcoolkids]

I got tired of having to deal with all of the flocking coming off of my terrain, so for a cheap price I sold it to a friend who wanted to expand his collection.

I had some pieces painted from several months ago, waiting to be flocked. I didn't want to waste them so I just added in some lighter colors to break up the solidness of the base paint. Renquist's water inspired my water, though I took a slightly different approach with mine. I'm really pleased with the finished product and the way a whole map of painted terrain looks.

[HSisforcoolkids]

Thanks, treefodo. One day I may try to customize again. Perhaps in June.
