Add 1 to Samus Aran’s normal attack for each Charge Marker on this card. After attacking with Samus Aran’s normal attack, remove all Charge Markers from this card.

great card! I wish I could use it! If you want it to be created, you might want to try http://www.heroscapers.com/community...ad.php?t=38383. Some people have gotten together and nicely offered to make cards for people who suck at photoshop. If you're lucky one of them will make this!

I like it Good Pig. I myself have done cards for Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong and Wario.


Edit...oh and have some rep

Thanks guys. I actually have Photoshop and want to make a custom template for it. :) Just wanted to get the idea down on paper first. Most of the beam ideas are ripped off of powers from other customs, but I like the idea of keeping them simple.

Other customs I've got in the works:
- Dark Samus
- Metroid (uncommon hero)
- Ridley
- Mother Brain
- Space Pirate Troopers (common squad)

Some of these will be tough to do without proper figures, but I'm keeping my eyes open for ways to put together custom ones.

Dark Samus added

Re: Samus and Other Metroid Customs
 
IIRC one of the old battleball figures is rather Samus like in appearance and sort of close color scheme wise, just missing the arm cannon. Might be worth looking into if you need a proxy figure. :shrug:

Hey thanks :)

Never heard of that game before, maybe I'll spot one at Goodwill or a garage sale.

It's been over 2 years since I've looked at these customs, and I'm just returning to it now. My interest in Heroscape has kind of ebbed and flowed over the years, but I keep coming back to it so that must be saying something! I think it's high time I put together some card art for these designs and started play testing.

In the meantime I've added to the OP:
- Space Pirates common squad
- Phazon Pool damage rules (same as Lava Field spaces)

I've also looked into an excellent suggestion from @Soundwarp SG-1 and found a great mini to use to proxy Samus from the Battleball board game which I now own. However, it's probably not the one you had in mind.

In the image below on the top row, the far right side in the gray/blue is the perfect mini. It's a guy with a claw hand, but the mechanical 'fingers' can easily be sliced off with an exacto knife to form Samus' gun arm. That mod and obviously a repaint in the correct colors. I'll be sure to post the final result once I'm done. :)

My goal with these customs is to identify ways to come up with figures for some of these out of other fairly cheap figures and toys.

- Toy pteradactyl head for Ridley
- T-Rex or similar dinosaur body for Mother Brain
- Some creative solution for Metroids

Re: Samus and Other Metroid Customs
 
How much was Battle Ball and please more info on those figures. I think they may work for some of my customs.
Do you have a pic for Mother Brain? I have a lot of T-Rex figures so I may be able to come up with a good suggestion.
How big of a pteradactyl?
There are some figures from the latest Jurassic Park movie.
