Public Design Post

[Smithy Winfred]

We've got the Dick Grayson Robin coming soon and I recently did a playtest for a Green Construct Shield, other constructs would be cool though, especially for the Yellows, I'm working on a Yellow Construct: Fear hounds, they should be here for critique within the week

[Viegon]

Thanks for the replies. I'm not surprised a lot of these are drafted, I just figured I would throw out a big list and see what was available instead of asking 1 or 2 characters at a time.

johnny: Reusing a HeroScape drow (or using any other D&D drow) would work for Shadow Elves, though if they're going to be in the next Thor movie I'd expect we'd get minis from that (though it's still awhile away).

True enough, but if you're planning on doing them at any point within the next year, pickings are slim otherwise.

Vandal Savage is also undrafted, by the by, so if you have something good for him I'd love to see it - I've never been able to think of any good powersets for him.

They are one of the ideas I'm not really set on, so it might be awhile before I even had anything. Still, if they did end-up going forward quickly, drow miniatures could be used, with the expectations that some people might replace them with true Dark Elf minis if/when they come out.

I do have a write-up for him that (as far as I know the character) seems pretty thematic but very simple. If he's not drafted, though, I will post my ideas soon.

1. Sebastian Shaw/Back King
2. Harry Leland/Black Bishop
3. Carmine Falcone (the Roman)
4. Emma Frost/White Queen (earlier/hellfire incarnation)
5. Mystique II (leader of the Brotherhood incarnation)
6. Vandal Savage
7. Vertigo
8. Robin (Damian Wayne)
9. Donald Blake
10. Mr. Hyde
11. Shadow King/Amahl Farouk
12. Shadow King Astral Projection
13. Donald Pierce/White Bishop
14. Hellfire Club Guards
15. Green Construct: Wall
16. Senator Kelly
17. Harpoon
18. Common Shadow Elf
19. Karnilla
20. Valkyrie

Updated based on what's been drafted and not.

I know Johnny had some ideas for the Hellfire Club Guards that I'm sure he'd probably be willing to discuss with you via pm (though there is a spot where they'd fit really nicely in a future wave too, fwiw).

Hahma drafted Harpoon really recently and I can't imagine it's high on his "to do" list, so if it's one you're really keen on, I wouldn't be shocked if you could sweet talk him into letting you take a stab at it.

Good Pig started a Shadow King design way back when but it got a bit derailed and Griff had a great write up for Vandal Savage that I love and was planning on rolling with eventually, but I'd love to read your thoughts on those and the Green Lantern Construct as well, because I have no problem with anyone else running these as long as the ideas are solid. I'd love to pm with you or Skype with you over these. Let me know!

Griff had a Vandal Savage design? Tickle never got around to posting his designs, did he? I think I would have seen that one.

Thanks Bats!

My Hellfire Guards concept probably wouldn't work, since I was planning to give them synergy with units that had a special power called "Hellfire Club".

I don't have all that much for Harpoon, I just threw him on there because we have the mini and I remember him from an old Thor comic.

I'll PM you about the others.

[Lord Pyre]

If you still have ideas for Falcone, you should let me know, too.

I actually inherited that Vandal Savage write-up. I'm going to take a look at it soon and post my thoughts in my design thread.

Ok, back to my pet project:

The Glyph of The Horses of Apocalypse (Equipment Glyph)

A figure equiped with this glyph gains the Flying special power. If this glyph would be lost, instead of placeing it normally, remove this glyph from the game. Only figures with the Horseman(men) class can equip this glyph.

[Zettian Juggernaut]

Here's my idea for Corsair, though I not sold on "Pirate Gang-up" as a name and using Swordplay as his second power:

NAME = CORSAIR
SECRET IDENTITY = CHRISTOPHER SUMMERS

SPECIES = HUMAN
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = PIRATE
PERSONALITY = RESOLUTE
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5?

LIFE = 4
MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 4
POINTS = 110?

PIRATE ASSALUT SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4. Attack 4.
If Corsair inflicts one or more wounds with this special attack, you may take an immediate turn with any Unique Pirate Hero you control, including Corsair.

SWORDPLAY
If Corsair attacks an adjacent figure with his normal attack and at least one skull is rolled, he may attack an adjacent figure again. He may continue attacking adjacent figures, rolling 1 fewer attack die for each subsequent attack, until you fail to roll a skull.

The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Critical Mass set.
Its model number and name are #022-024 Corsair.

I really like that. I'd go with Leader over Pirate, though, and make it so it has to be another Pirate... though I'm not sure if that works mechanically. If so, you should make it a turn in which the other Pirate can't move.

Also I'd make it hinge on inflicting a wound.
