[Good Pig]

Added a new custom to the first page. Sir Loksteen Death Knight hero for Valkrill.

All these customs are awesome! Great work on the art and powers on the cards... these are very well done and seem very balanced! Awesome work man, a pleasure to read!

Thanks. Creating the card stats/abilities is the fun part. I do graphic design for work so making the graphics for these is no problem.

Actually cutting them off D&D bases and putting them together on Heroscape bases is kind of a pain.

I love the theme that is just oozing from all these customs! They all seem very well balanced and the graphics look great! I have a few of these figures and will definitely try them out, I'll let you know how it goes.

Awesome, thank you. I'm always looking for feedback. No one has been available for a game in the last few weeks, so I've been working on customs.

Here are the next ones I'm working on:

Added new custom hero, Dwarf Sniper for Aquilla to the first post.

(Usage quibble: you want "affected", not "effected", in the explosive bolt power. They mean different things.)

I like it! The Axegrinders get a bonding ranged special attacker - that's big, metagame-wise. If anything, it's a hair too powerful - precision shot probably isn't necessary for that figure to see a lot of play.

Thanks for the feedback.

I updated text on Explosive Bolt. I also took out his Precision Shot as a special attack and made an ability he can use along with his regular attack. Gave him a name too, Rhom Coppershot.

I agree him bonding with the dwarves would be a nasty combo, but I'm not sure if it would be as powerful as Nilfheim with Greenscales. I made Rhom pretty weak defense/life and slow to fit with the other sniper heroes. Also, his Explosive Bolt special only has a 40% chance at a cluster attack if it places a wound. I thought this was the best way to make the special attack work thematically, but not be overpowered. I may need to up his points a little, but I like his stats.

Just curious, where do you get the heroscape bases for your customs?

Also, what mini did you use for Sir Loksteen Death Knight?

I bought a few extra Erevan Sunshadows off of Auggies for $29/pc then cut him off the base. I then printed the stickers from Grey Owl's customs thread and stuck them on the bases.

Thank you. The mini is from the new D&D Lord of Madness set # 45/60. I bought him off Auggie's a few weeks ago for pretty cheap. It looks like he is becoming a hot commodity, price has gone up somewhat.

These are some great customs, and thanks for the pics! The Vydar dragon in particular looks like it would have made a great figure.

As for, I always wondered why wizards didn't print a figure called "Hero of Valhalla."

Rhom looks good as well. I like how you can use him as a sniper, or bring him closer for explosive shot but risk his death due to his base stats.

I was actually thinking about making this guy Jandar himself, but the expectations for the figure would be really high and put his cost more in the Marvel range 250+. Right now I'm not sure what to do with him.

Thanks. I wanted to give him multiple attack options with different ranges similar to Q10 or Deadeye Dan. The ideas for his attacks really came from the D&D card abilities for the Dwarf Sniper.
