WitchyStella's Customs
 

Heya everybody!
I've been making customs just for fun and/or private use for a while now (on and off) and I figured I'd finally make a thread on this beautiful website I've loved for a long time :p

I don't really get many opportunities to playtest, and most of these have not been playtested, and so if you're more experienced with me, or even if you feel like playtesting any of these, feel free to leave me some criticism! I'd love to hear it.

Another important note is that these are very, uhm. Unofficial, so to speak. Because I collect many different kinds of miniatures, I use many different armies, species, etc.
That being said, whenever possible, I take names and convert numbers from official stat cards and game rules to fit Heroscape.

For squads, I came up with a point cost rule where one member of the squad has a base cost and there is an additional cost for more members. I haven't gotten to try this out yet, but I personally feel like it makes sense, at least the way I like to play.

I guess to sum things up, my customs are weird and different, but I hope you'll like them anyway, and maybe even help me balance them!
Thanks for your interest <3

Levitate/Levitation is essentially Flying but without the engagement attack rules

Sid Meier's Civilization:

I'm gonna be adding a bunch soon-ish, since I have a few already done or mostly done...

So here's some Malifaux Puppet Wars customs!

Thanks for sharing! I love to see new customs creators on the site, and especially ones posting things I'd never have imagined.

Keep 'em coming. :)

Re: WitchyStella's Customs
 

Very cool. More Digimon!
Your squad costing idea sounds cool.

Re: WitchyStella's Customs
 

Great start and I echo others nice seeing new customer creator on that is not jaded by groupthink of other creators here (no offense to our lovely long time creators, but is scientific fact that groupthink happens). However if you haven’t already, check out the Customizing Compendium which has tips, especially on wording to think a little like the original creators when wording powers like official figures. However like I said I also like originality and even @NecroBlade agrees using things like “roll a D20” or “roll a D6” as opposed to @20 sided die” is a welcome change.

Keep ‘em coming!

Re: WitchyStella's Customs
 

ah, thank you all!!!

when it comes to wording i just prefer to do it in a way that makes more sense and is more easily understandable to me personally --- i'll definitely check out that compendium though, thank you!

EDIT:
i also noticed i hadn't included an explanation as to what "confusion" meant on the Stinky Hat's card, so I edited that.

Welcome to the community!

I have always loved outside-the-box customs! Malifaux has some of the most beautiful and imaginative sculpts out there. I like your creative use of them!

Re: WitchyStella's Customs
 

thank you!!! i agree, the malifaux minis are amazing. i love their art style too, it's quite special.

Re: WitchyStella's Customs
 

starting a new experiment converting civilization vi units to heroscape... we'll see how it goes 👀



one of the ideas i had is that really any miniature that vaguely resembles an ancient warrior could be used for these, which was exciting to me. plus, my customs are littered with expensive units, so these simple, "weak" squads are going to to be a welcome change for me personally

Re: WitchyStella's Customs
 

Hi hi! I actually talked to you on tumblr! Good to see you here!

Re: WitchyStella's Customs

Re: WitchyStella's Customs
 

Yep! Hope to see more from you!
