No thanks, the unpainted figures would bug me. | 8 | 13.79% | |
Yes, but only if they stay Planeswalkers - the characters are too iconic to retheme. | 4 | 6.90% | |

Some people want to watch the world burn
If the C3V wants to use the magic the gathering minis, I say go for it. I don’t mind if those guys want to make them into generic heroes (hello Agent Carr, Syvarris) or if they want to make them as planeswalkers. The monochrome minis could be fiddly, but that’s alright by me. The pheonixes look pretty good without paint, imo.
My customs. NE Ohio Tourney - TBA SW Ohio Tourney - NHSD 550 points AotV - Colliding the minis of AotP with the world of HS. |

Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

Quote:
If C3V does in fact use AotP figures, I would suggest to use only the painted minis (planeswalkers) and to give them their own Heroscape identity. My reasoning is not for fear of separation anxiety, rather for interest in keeping the Heroscape lore as pure as possible. |

Re: Using Magic: AotP figures in Heroscape?
I'm too attached to the characters in Magic (Chandra is my GIRL!) so it would be weird to see them as generic to me.

Re: Using Magic: AotP figures in Heroscape?
I think Magic is a better and more interesting fit than D&D

Re: Using Magic: AotP figures in Heroscape?
I agree with you, but I like the DnD waves of Heroscape. They give a bit of diversity in terms of characters without feeling like a different miniatures game.

Re: Using Magic: AotP figures in Heroscape?
I enjoy AotP, but at the moment, I am teaching young teens HeroScape in their second language. AotP is significantly more complex, although I do have German sets, so I am trying to make customs that integrate AotP minis into HeroScape normal via reinterpretation of the minis for people unfamiliar with Magic (like me). Here are some of my design ideas:
Base Set Elf Wizard (mechanical niche in the Wizard Pod) Elf Archers (different accent than Aubrien, maybe different general) Treants (maybe with Tree Bonding?) Illusionist (works with Illusions) Illusions (part of Illusionist) Wraiths (Double attack, phantom walk) Fire elementalist (uses only fire elementals/ I really like Necroblade's suggestion of turning tiles to lava) Firecats (fire damage to adj. Fast) Phoenixes (rebirth) Air Elementalist/Human Champion (either a chastising Champion or someone who works with air elementals) Rhino Infantry (tough, maybe bonding to a new category, eg Paladin or Knight?) Hook Fighters (grapple, pull enemies closer, maybe new vampire faction under Einar?) Magic User Proxies for Skeletons of Annelitia Proxies for Thralls Small Expansion Marro Hivelord (very expensive monster) Alien creatures (maybe Mind Controllers?) Utgar/Valkrill Kyrie Merfolk Water Elementalist Elf Swordsmen (same as Archers from Base Set) Valkrill Vampires (Bloodlust or similar marker power) Merfolk Warrior (maybe destroy Water Elementals to use Water-Based Power) Gliding Warrior (maybe new vampire faction under Einar?) Goblin Javelins (ranged version of Cutters) Base Set 2 Wizard (Jace) Nahiri and Soren as two Einar Vampires (background story: conflicting Vampire houses on home planet, transfers to Valhalla. More noble Vampires) Spirit Wolf (Ullar wolf faction) Elf Wizard Ghosts (lure enemies with lanterns) Ghost Buster (bonus vs Undead) Vampires (Cyprien's noble friends) Prophet (Devout Hero, bonding with cultists) Cultists (Devout Hero Bonding) 4th figure proxy for Skeletons of Annelitia Killer Angel Inquisitors (Devout Hero Bonding) Hunters (Hunter bonding?) Wolves (Ullar Wolf faction) Some have better ideas than others, but it is a work in progress. I have 2 copies of everything, so I'm tending towards common squads, but making the heroes generally unique. EDIT: I vote "Yes", as long as I can send in my unpainted figures to have C3V do a uniform paint job! Jugger It's like football with swords or LARPing without the geeky stuff. In other words, it's awesomely perfect! Last edited by Tai-Pan; November 24th, 2017 at 01:00 PM. |

Re: Using Magic: AotP figures in Heroscape?
I also was surprised not to see those figures used as classic custom.
At the French forum, it was the first thing we made ! From one hand we designed the army cards for the AotP "master set", On the other hand, one of us as in charge of gathering the sets to paint all the squad figures, and then spread them around for the interested members of the forum. This way all the participants has the same lot of figures painted the same way, with unified tested army cards. An advantage here is that an Auchan market sold those sets for only 12€ ! ^^ You can see the result here. Preview of the result : (more detailed photos and the army cards are on the French Forum)
Spoiler Alert!

Re: Using Magic: AotP figures in Heroscape?
Use them. I understand the Magic fans saying they are too iconic to be seen as Heroscape figures, but as a Star Wars fan that has seen the B-11 Resistance Corps, Hoplitron, M-43 Resistance Fighters, Seleena, and especially the Zettian Deathwings and Zettian Infantry enter the Heroscape world via C3V and SoV, I think you'll be OK. There is a dearth of affordable, prepainted figures available. Very little should be off-limits. I'm even OK with using the unpainted figures if quality designs and easy paint schemes are achieved.

Re: Using Magic: AotP figures in Heroscape?
To complete Danieloche's post :
If you are living in France (because of the shipping cost), my offer to paint all the figures of the Magic set is still running for every member of the french forum. The french forum : http://forum.heroscape.free.fr/ |
