Week@HS Revival - Week #12
Posted February 23rd, 2013 at 03:59 PM by truth
This week heralds the release of our final monthly article, Scaper of the Month! These monthly articles will be repeated in their cycle so that one appears each week and all four appear before a month is finished.
C3G
The metamorphosis is complete! With the Ash Wednesday release of Ashes to Ashes, the metamorphosis of Jean Grey is complete. You can now draft and play the entire journey of Jean from Marvel Girl of the X-Men to the more powerful Phoenix to the world-devouring entity, the scourge of the Universe - Dark Phoenix.
The recently released Dark Phoenix has a great set of stats and several powers, such as Psionic Wave and Phoenix Fire, which allow her to wound both after moving and when she is defending. At a whopping 490 points she is worth more than both Jean and Phoenix. For a quick primer on how to use this card, refresh yourself with the C3G Secret Identity Rules and Event Hero Rules found here.
On another note, C3G has recently opened a storefront of sorts. Its not a typical store because no cash changes hands, but more of a barter system. As C3G nears its fourth anniversary, one thing has become clear - playtests, and the points accrued from them, stack up faster than people can use them. So, in order to allow for more options to use those points, the Heroes and Sidekicks got together and came up with a few options and things just snowballed. Now you can get anything from personalized cards from the Art Department, to One-on-One mentoring from a Hero with coming up with a design for your favorite comics character, to a custom mini for one of the few various cards that require a handmade mini. (Check out our latest, Spawn.)
So, come on over and check out the C3G Shop and see if there's something that catches your eye; just remember your money is no good here, its your playtests we want!
Secrets from the Sanctum!
So, two big waves back to back and then Phoenix, and you still want more?!? Well, March will see another biggie from the old Timely rival, but who can it be? We'll have to wait and see. Also, April will be C3G's Fourth Anniversary, expect an ample amount of goodness. (Or will they play for the other side?)
VC
Valhalla Customs brings a couple goodies this week.
The SoV has released the Hoplitron, by dok. These common heroes push figures around with Shield Push 13, and bond with Major X17, Deathwalker 7000, and other Hoplitrons. This Vydar soulborg is fairly durable too, with a defense of 6.
On the C3V side, vegietarian18 has created a pictured battle report featuring some unreleased C3V units! Feel free to speculate, just know that changes may be made to these units before release.
Custom of the Week
This week's custom card: Arantil by Superfrog! A fearless (and fearsome) hunter, this lion can rack up the kills with Lion’s Pride and puts the hurt on Medium and Small figures with his defense subtracting Rend.
Be sure to check out the rest of superfrog’s customs!
For this week's repaint we're highlighting a new member/artist: RafflesiaBloom! Her custom paint job gives the Wolves of Badru a more natural color scheme.
While these are her only customs so far, you should check out her thread anyway! Hopefully we will see more from her in the future!
Map of the Week
From the tables of LUCKE13 we bring you Sizzle!
This map, manages to create a nice sized area for battling (despite the small requirements of 1 BftU and 1 VW set). Your forced into dangerous areas if you want to get height and any non-lava resistant figures will find it tough to breach the barrier between your armies.
Custom SuperScape Creation
This week, we bring you a custom from the vaults of Ibechief, Omega Red!
This Chaotic mutant has the ability to a to attack twice if he inflicts a wound with his Coil Whip Special Attack and even has a chance to heal from it. His Red Armor gives him added sustainability while his Carbonadium Sickness keeps him in check.
Scaper of the Month
This month's Scaper is White Knight!

More cool stuff as usual Week-at-HS team! I'd have to say the lie is number 2 as the other two make sense for an aerospace engineer.

Great update and a cool look into the life of a HSer.
p.s. Ninjas of the Northern Wind are unique, not common. |
