Welcome to the boards, 1111! Nice first post. Here are a few suggestions.

First, I would put "Unique Hero" instead of "Custom Hero." Everyone knows they're customs, but how are we supposed to tell if they're common or unique?

Tsunami is very, very powerful. Playtesting might reveal this guy's need for a point increase.

Tough, the official ability, adds one automatic shield. I'd change your Tough to Super Tough or similar, and your Shield Block to Tough (though Shield Block as a name makes just as much sense).

Lur's other abilities are also just renamed official abilities. Bloodlust (which is nothing like the official Bloodlust) is just Wounded Smash and Pain Strike is Overextend Attack.

Finally, I really don't think Muck Dweller is worth 130 points, nor Lur quite 155.

I could also offer wording tips for all your abilities, but I think that's enough suggestions for now.

Thanks guys! The suggestions that you listed were kinda what I figured I should change about the cards. I wasn't too sure about the official names of the abilities so I just came up with a "filler" name for the time being. Are there any specific ways you guys come up with point totals? Some of the offical HS characters seem way over-priced. Sparticus for example... I don't think he's worth 200 at all. Such a huge chunk of your army cost is gone if you pick him when he isn't really anything special. Sure, he's tough, but range can pick him off without too much effort. Once again, it's cool to find a forum especially made for heroscape! Take it easy guys.

The best way I can suggest to cost your customs (aside from playtesting) is to compare them to existing, official units. Spartacus, yes, is currently overpriced, but that's what's brilliant about Heroscape: eventually, there will be more gladiators for him to work with. When, though, is anyone's guess.

Thanks NecroBlade for the comments. I updated the stats and names on the cards to better suit the game. I'll put some more up once I find some motivation to make more. I really need a game of 'scape about now.

Wow, those are impressive, especially the minis! Did you make them yourself?
Where can I find a template for typing up custom cards?

1111, you are quite something at customs!! A little more practice and some good feedback and you'll be rockin'

Thanks for the compliments guys. The miniatures are just some that I had laying around. They are from D&D. I have some Heroquest mini's that I've painted myself that I will have to put up.

For Lur it should be "wounded" smash, and perhaps he should just be a "wolf" so he could have some Synergy, if not now then later with the wolves arleady in Heroscape?

Other than that looking sharp on the customs. Looking foward to more.

YES! A new member that is actually literate!

Anyways, your customs are awesome. I can't think of much else to say, other than that.
