Re: Figure Suggestion Thread



Here is a comparison picture Star Wars figures I found on this site. They look pretty close to Heroscape size, which are pretty close to heroclix size.

Re: Figure Suggestion Thread

Thank you! It looks like I have a brilliant figure lined up for Marcus Cole (which makes me really happy - don't know how many Babylon 5 fans there are here, but Marcus is one of the best characters in my favourite series which has one of the best character line ups I've ever seen - so yeah, he's epic). Now, just the Shredder to go at present.

Thank you! That's a great figure for Marcus - he just needs a little head swap with Aragorn and repainting. (If I really want to go to town I could maybe even re-orient his hands and staff (or Minbari fighting pike, as it's called) so that he's holding it in both hands). May I ask quickly whether the line this is taken from is in scale with Heroclix? I want to know if the head swap's going to work.

Plus rep.
Glad he's right for what you're looking for!

I have the figure, I will try and take a reference photo when I get back home. I don't know if the Aragorn head swap will work, Clix scales tend to be all over the place. I'll take a photo with Drake, that should give you an idea.

Re: Figure Suggestion Thread

To me the Jedi Apprentice just needs some facial hair and a clothes repaint but my old eyes may not be viewing things accurately.

Well, the hair isn't long enough either (Marcus's hair's about shoulder length, perhaps a little shorter - the second linked image would give a better idea of face details), but that's another thing that the Aragorn head swap will help with (Marcus's appearance does seem to have been based on Aragorn to me - between that and the fact he's a ranger would probably make you think he's a Strider clone, but he's actually a completely different character). The staff also needs repainting with the clothes. I'll probably want to sculpt on the belt buckle and badge, but that's minor - I also don't think I've ever seen him hold his staff like that, so a slight reposing so that he's holding the staff in both hands and it's a more iconic pose might be a good idea, but not necessary. If I really want to be nitpicky, I could even cut off the very ends of the staff so it's no longer rounded at the end, but really, most of this is minor - the figure's great for Marcus! Out of curiosity, anyone else out here who knows the character?

Any thoughts on the Shredder?

Re: Figure Suggestion Thread



OK so here's a picture of the SW Exceptional Jedi Apprentice next to Sgt. Drake 1 and a Heroclix C3V soldier. His head is definitely smaller than Drake's, and a bit smaller than the Heroclix guy, but like I said the Heroclix scales vary wildly, so probably the only way for you to find out is to get the figures and see how they look. Good luck!

Re: Figure Suggestion Thread

Thanks, IshMEL! Looks like that's Marcus dealt with - no closer with the Shredder, though. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Figure Suggestion Thread

I found this site which has a custom made Shredder figure which looks to be about Heroclix scale. It's not a store though so I'm not sure if you can order the figure from the guy or how expensive it will be.

Also its based on the 80's Shredder not the 2003 Shredder. Aside from that the only other thing I can think of would be a modded Silver Samurai, I think this one would work best.

Re: Figure Suggestion Thread

Yeah, I do have my heart set on a 2003-style Shredder, as that's how I know him (and he seems quite different from his 80s incarnation in a lot of ways), so it looks like Silver Samurai it is - not a problem, but I was wondering if there may be something better. The question now, is, where to go from there? Any ideas?

I'd like to thank you guys for all your help already - it's been awesome!

Re: Figure Suggestion Thread

Keep in mind I am by no means a modding expert so take any advice I give you with a big grain of salt.

The first thing I'd do is lose the sword. Shredder never uses one in the new series IIRC. And second you should find a way to cover his face with something.

One theme issue I think you might have, is that Shredder's claw goes on the left hand but the figure would naturally look better with it on the right. It's not that big of a deal and if you can look past it it's no problem.

Re: Figure Suggestion Thread

Anyone know where you could find Roman cavalry & Viking miniatures to fit heroscape's scale? Seams easy to find everything needed to finish most of the armies but the historical stuff is difficult to find in the correct scale :/

Miniature Market carries Wargames Factory miniatures in the correct scale. Pretty sure they have Roman Cavalry. Not sure about the Vikings. Assembly and painting required.
