That makes so much sense. Now that I know the origin of the name it sounds much much less silly. Maybe it's cuz I've been listening to a bunch of Marc Bolan lately?

Grrrr, the availability is never there. Maklar likes his SOV submissions, and that'n looked real good. I'm very much so a shy miniature shopper, but I really like that figure along with the design...

An update today on my HerosCape super cards!

Jandar: GCPD Cops, Hawkgirl, Hawkman, Jim Gordon
Ullar: Black Canary, Green Lantern, J'onn J'onnz
Aquilla: Wolverine
Vydar: Street Thugs
Utgar: Brainiac, Gorilla Grodd, Darkseid
Valkrill: Harley Quinn

Again thanks to @Sherman Davies for these great designs!

Don't mention it.

I'll be running a superhero scenario for the Gang of Four in March; you are, as always, welcome to join us if you get the chance.

I haven't gone over all your new additions, but at first glance Wolverine's stats are off; his Attack should be 5, Defense 4 and point cost 190.

And it looks like I still have him listed as "Figure: D&D Owlbear"! That's what I get for rushing the edit from one card to another -- most of his stats are still Krendal's.

Hope I can join you guys, I'll check the calendar...

[IshMEL]

Fixed Wolverine, also added Sinestro and Zoom to the Utgar cards.

Left to do:

Beast: Einar (I'm thinking the Mutants are too "misfit" to go in Jandar, as a rule)
Colussus: Einar?
Hercules: Einar (with the Greeks!)
Jubilee: Aquilla
Mystique: Vydar
Nite Owl: Einar. Will adapt C3G.
Professor X: Einar. Will adapt C3G.
Quicksilver: Vydar
Rorschach: Vydar. Will adapt C3G.
Scarlet Witch: Vydar
She-Hulk: Jandar
Storm: Ullar
The Fantastic 4: Jandar
Vulture: Utgar

Hey, that's only 17 cards left to go! What have I gotten myself into...

I think that every time I look back at all the cards I've done over the years.

I hope so too - we're scheduled for March 2, so let us know if you're free.

I took advantage of the hibernation this long and cold weekend to knock out a bunch more cards.

[IshMEL]

So, a few more cards....

First, a few more Supers:

Spoiler Alert!

Flame on!


Also, as Deadpool proves, makes a perfect "straight man."


Finding a picture that fit the "chevron" so well was a happy accident.

And, a card for Buffy (C3G adaptation) and Faith (adaptation of Buffy):

Spoiler Alert!

I started with the C3G Buffy, dropped "The Chosen One," and added a version of Stab in the Back, with doubled odds if you have another Slayer in your Army. Uses the same figure (Horrorclix Vampire Hunter). I have yet to attempt to repaint -- black pants and shirt should be pretty easy.

Back to some classic Scape cards!

When I first got my Warforged I had this idea for making the "Creation Forge" and the wizard who controls it:





The point cost for Phaestus Cannith is a guess, as his value is mostly in the ability to re-forge your Warforged. It will take him a turn to get onto the glyph, and you'll probably want to leave a couple of Warforged behind to guard him. The Canniths are the canonical clan of Warforged creators, but I made up Phaestus.

I also picked up two Warforged Scout figures, thinking I would substitute them for of one of the (slightly more expensive) D&D equivalent figures for the Warforged Soldiers. Which didn't really work out, since these guys are really small. I mean, really small. So here's a unique scout:



Thanks for taking a look! Oh, and if anyone is interested in Slice I have an extra scout...

Resurrection type powers are tricky to place a value on, but I'd say your guess looks like a good one. Without that glyph power, he'd be pretty overcosted at 100, but with it he could be just about right. I like that the glyph doesn't explicitly call him out by name; as a designer, it's usually better to leave doors open to future designs if one can. Incidentally, you may want to add language to the glyph about removing wound markers from the cards of Unique Warforged when he resurrects them, which is how official cards handle the wording on resurrection powers.

Good point! I'll update the Glyph card to include that language. Thanks for your help!

What do you think about modifying the glyph so that ANY Wizard can use it?

Of course the only way to get the glyph on the board is with Phaestus Cannith but it leaves room open for other Wizards. Might be broken in larger point (1,000+ games) where you can also have Kyntela hop on it but might add to the fun.

Cool designs though.
