Mossman's Customs-Updated 7-30 Maredian Commando (Aquilla)

[Mossman]

7-30: Added new Aquilla hero- Maredian Commando

Jandar

Spoiler Alert!

Viking longbowman made from a Tarn Viking and Syvarris.


Here is a Soulborg hero I made using a Warhammer Space Marine.



Custom card of Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson's character in The Patriot). Custom figure was made from the body of Red Skull, the head of a 10th Regiment, and a tomahawk from a Mohican tribesman.



George Washington. Trying to have some synergy with the 4th Mass without overdoing it. Also trying to capture Washington's quality of being not necessarily the toughest soldier or greatest tactician, but his ability to keep hope alive and keep the army and later the nation alive.



Repaint of a Wolf of Badru-



An uncommon hero out of legend who slays foul dragons.

Einar

Spoiler Alert!

Repaints of the Airborne Elite.



I originally bought and painted these Romans from Foundry back when the Legionnaires were hard to find. Now I'm putting them to a different use:



Here's a custom card for my repaint of HeroClix "Silver Samurai." I chose someone from history: Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He was a peasant who rose to become known as the "second great unifier" and was the first to conquer all of Japan. I made him bond only with Samurai (not Ashigaru) because one of the things he was known for was restricting weapon ownership to Samurai only. I set his point value just above Kaemon Awa's. They have the same life, attack, and defense. Kaemon has higher range, while Hideyoshi has higher movement. Kaemon can make two 4d attacks every turn, provided he has a target. Hideyoshi has the potential to make up to five 4d attacks under very limited circumstances. Hideyoshi also has Samurai movement bonding. Thoughts?



This won one of Taeblewalker's custom contests. Made it back in the pre-Capuan days as a way of making a 500-point Gladiator army.



British officer using the "Norrington" miniature from the Disney Pirates of the Caribbean collection.



From Reaper Miniature's 'Chronoscope' line. A Viet Cong hero who synergizes with the Ashigaru.

Ullar

Spoiler Alert!

This is a simple repaint of a Knight of Weston, using metallic green paint and a shield sticker from Warhammer. (Check the end of the thread for a picture.)



Custom figure made from the body of Syvarris, the hands/spear and shield of a Tarn Viking:




Warhammer Tree Man-



Warhammer Dryads-



Warhammer Waywatchers-

Utgar

Spoiler Alert!

Spirit Lord- This is a Halloween decoration from Michael's that I've had for a few years. Designed to be a Kurrok-type leader for the Shades of Bleakewoode.



Drow Assassins. A ranged crossbow squad. Low range, attack, and defense, but attack and defense bonuses when standing in shadow. Also, a watered down version of the NotNW's 'Disappear' power, with the potential for shadow bonuses.



Drow Blademasters



Custom using Cyprien mounted on a Warhammer elven steed.

Vydar

Spoiler Alert!

Here's Sudema's army. A combo of HeroQuest, Mordheim, GW, and Mage Knight figures.

Aquilla

Spoiler Alert!

Maredian common hero using #008 Commando figure from Heroclix Dark Knight Rises.





Lizardfolk hero made from an Abomination mod.



Axis Gorillas from the Dust Tactics game.

Nice idea for a custom. (And nice username )

I suggest changing the wording of to be closer to the official 'terrain stealth' power, Glacier Camouflage:

Woodland Stealth - If a Waywatcher is adjacent to a tree , opponents’ figures must be adjacent to that Waywatcher to attack it with a normal attack.

Pathfinder is also worded kinda oddly since normal figures don't get move penalties from trees. The simply can't move through them. How about:

Pathfinder: Waywatchers may move through spaces occupied by trees.

[Mossman]

Thanks for the advice on both. I particularly didn't like the way "Pathfinder" was worded.

[Jonathan]

Cool - nice and thematic, points seem balanced. Kudos!

Nice looking card. Have any dwarves or skaven? Especially skavens.

[stumpy_man]

Looks Good. I like the Woodland stealth power. That can give them an advantage in maps with lots of trees which tend to make range not as effective.

Thanks! I have a very few dwarves but no skaven.

[Mossman]

Oops. Forgot part of the card.

Some nicely themed customs there chief. Always like to see efforts to that effect.

Now, I will say, however, that Orion seems a little excessively powerful! His combat stats are fine but Warriors Heart is a destroyer! Consider the 4th Mass who are already an A+ unit - do they need +1/+1?
Sacred Spear is nice though. Personally I think the additional attack is unnecessary - or ought be dependent on a wound/kill.

I think a little synergy between all these fella's is being begged for, though. Maybe unique a squad, switch in bonding, change Warriors Heart to affect Tricky figs or Warriors or something, with less range or just defence or something.

All in all, a great effort- welcome to the customisers fold! Just need a little tightening and balancing really; the core idea is nicely themed and waiting to be molded into perfection

Repped.

Thanks! That's exactly the kind of feedback I'm looking for. I really want to make playable squads and heroes that fit the game. I'll mull over your suggestions and post an updated card. Thanks again.

Here's my latest custom: George Washington. Trying to have some synergy with the 4th Mass without overdoing it. Also trying to capture Washington's quality of being not necessarily the toughest soldier or greatest tactician, but his ability to keep hope alive and keep the army and later the nation alive. Feedback welcome!

I like it, though, (perhaps it's just my screen), his faces appears kinda yellow - like a zombie of something. Still, way cool man.
