Robb's Custom Figures - UPDATED 11/9/19

[robbdaman]

With the Photobucket ruination and the great hard drive failure of 2016 I've lost many of what was originally here. The game has drastically changed in the past several years with the original final waves and SoV/C3V VC continuation so I'd need to adapt and change much of what I had anyway. I have a few print outs I may update however I am adding in a few newer ideas I've been working on in the modern age of Heroscape.

Here are my customs. Any thoughts are always appreciated. I'm adding in new card concepts that I have had in mind toward the new era of Fanscape. Stay tuned my friends!

NEWER CUSTOMS!

Character Bio: A creature whose mind is as dark as the blackest night. Mutated by the black gases of the Durgeth swamps Vy-Kul-Na and many rituals cast over an emerald amulet before it's destruction by Sgt. Drake Alexander. Grants him great power over the mind and makes his mind now one with the hive that spawned him.



Character Bio: Tortured souls who only find release in death. The Spectres of Morindan were once warriors who fought for what they believed in yet were cursed by an evil demigod for not joining his cause. They cannot be reasoned with, cannot be controlled and most definately cannot be ignored. They seek the souls of those who live by the sword, only when they have rid the world of the warrior spirit will they rest.



Character Bio: Among all creatures there are those that are stronger, smarter and more ruthless. A Deathstalker Pack Leader puts those alpha creatures to shame with its command of fellow Deathstalkers. The Deathstalker Pack Leader's brutality in battle is nothing to those that attempt to usurp it's power, as they fight to the death among their own kind for dominance.



Character Bio: Unyielding destiny awaits those who follow their path. Tydan the Hunter was born and raised by an ancient order whose sole mission is to destroy the evil that ravages the many worlds. Trained to destroy the unlife and endowed with the power of the holy ones he hunts his prey with precision, never stopping until they are destroyed.



Character Bio: Orc vengeance is swift and violent. Var Talek is the fiercest of all Swog riders. As he commands the beast riders from his mount Vjaa whom he raised since birth. Few can match their combined presence on the battlefield. Inspiring the swogs and their grut mounts to battle with a fury untold of.



Character Bio: Swogs run wild amist the Grut breeding camps until chosen by a rider to become their mount. As a test of their mettle they are released into combat with the enemy to weed out the weak.





Character Bio: As a loner Leircus kept much to himself, all the better being a rogue, it allowed him to hide in the shadows and made him one of the finest of thieves. It was because of this fact that his confidence outgrew his wits and made him undertake a once in a lifetime burgulary.

In the dark of night he stole the Lycan blood ruby jewel never knowing he would unleash the curse within. Now he must live with the creature that comes from deep within his soul. A Lord Werewolf that he transforms into when faced with battle. Still a loner he prefers to fight alone and trust no one while he travels on a quest to rid him of the curse to find a cure for the terror that lies within.



Character Bio: Pathetic and defective are the best words to describe Deathwalker 1. It was a complete failure but what else could one expect for an alpha test. Still it's failure led to the successes of the deathwalker soulborgs to follow.




Character Bio: All evil has an origin for darkness and light have been battling since the beginning. Viktar Baltakis is one of many sources of evil in this universe.

Once the grandest lord of darkness he was overthrown by an upstart in his army, Cyprien Esenwein and imprisoned in the Nethervoid. On Feylund, before the rise of Cyprien Esenwein he wielded great power with his undead hordes, terrorized all Annellintia and Morindan. While Cyprien fights with his army, Viktar was a master tactician commanding the forces from behind the battlelines. Only bloodying his hands when he felt necessary. Cyprien was his sword on the battlefield and for many centuries he served and fought for the forces of evil along side Viktar.

On Valhalla, Utgar's machinations brought Cyprien's former lord and master Viktar to oppose discipline and motivate him. The two vampire lords will have nothing to do with one another and often refuse to even battle the same enemies. Viktar's strategy and power have grown while he suffered torment unknown. Viktar plans to take over command of the dark forces of Marro and all who are under Utgar's command from Cyprien and given the chance he will take any oppotunity to get revenge on his former servant.



Character Bio: A gift and a assistant to his greatest warrior Utgar bestowed the Virlian Familiar to not only benefit his master but to be his eyes and ears on the battlefield. For a general of evil must keep his enemies close and allies even closer.



Character Bio: Reveling in destruction and driven to ensue chaos Gor'Vath was a double edged sword discovery for Utgar. Gor'Vath's mere presense to his enemies and allies make them sick to their stomach. For this reason alone few in Utgar's army wish to battle along side of him though they understand his purpose and usefulness. Gor'Vath wades into battle his only pleasure is in crushing all who he opposes.



Character Bio: The future of Vahalla is what these young mystics have been named. Many would question why anyone would bring even a single child into a wartorn land much less four of them but once they met these young heirs they would know that they are truly kings and queens to lead them to victory over the forces of evil.

So if he doesn't roll 11 or higher he never transforms? Or does he get to try before each of his turns?

[Eckels]

I dig the idea of changing into a werewolf.

I do think his werewolf ability is a bit too easy to activate, seeing as though it gives him all these special abilities and enhanced stats. 11 or higher is 50%, which is pretty easy to hit. Since he's going to maintain this form throughout the rest of the game, there's really little point in even having a human form.

Maybe he should be able to transform back? I haven't seen these figures, but if one is vastly larger than the other (as it appears on the card), It could be very useful to have the option to change back into a human.

Either option, or maybe his wolf form only lasts each round?

He seems overpowered as a wolf too... but maybe I'm not understanding the wording. The werewolf wording is murky... "All stats are increased once, adding the original numbers on this army card to it's current levels for the new total"
What?

Does that basically mean he gets +1 to all attributes when in wolf form?

Assuming that's the case, as a wolf, he'd have a normal attack of 5, right?

with Feral Spirit he could easily be tossing attacks of 4, 6, or 8, and sometimes 10 - and for 140 points, that just seems too powerful for me.

My 2c.
Real nice work on the card tho!

[Hades]

This card would be a great candidate for a double-sided card or even 2 seperate cards. That would let you have 2 different stat sets for man and wolf form.

I would also change the wolf form to roll d20 at the beginning of each turn to change or remain as wolf.

Other than that I think he might be a little to underpriced, have you playtested him yet?

This was how the OP made his lycanthrope but I agree perhaps make it a 14 or 15 and for every wound he's taken he gets a +1 to his roll?

The human figure is a modifed Soulknife Infiltrator from D&D Minis which is pretty much normal HS height, the Werewolf is the Werewolf Lord from D&D Minis which is very big. I could label it anywhere from Large 8-10. Werewolf Lords in D&D are essentially a Dire Werewolf. Ten feet tall and bulletproof. :P

Maybe adding the same roll to revert if he needs to return to human form to get to an opponent but make each wound be a -1 to his roll making it harder?

Again the OP had this worded even odder, his said "all stats are doubled in this form" which is clear that you double all his stats but not from which point. Perhaps Hades is right and I should just make a second set of stats for him, though I will probably put it all on one card still. I like the double picture I made.

Assuming that's the case, as a wolf, he'd have a normal attack of 5, right? With Feral Spirit he could easily be tossing attacks of 4, 6, or 8, and sometimes 10 - and for 140 points, that just seems too powerful for me.

So it would mean it was an attack of 8 which is definately undercosted for his price, basically get the Hulk for 230 points less. (side note that give me an idea for a Bruce Banner custom though ).

Real nice work on the card tho!

Thanks! I'm quite a photoshop junkie.

I'll make some changes and repost.

[Kinseth]

I like the card, but I think you have him too powerful, even at 140.

Feral Spirit shouldnt affect Blood rage.

And Feral Spirit, that puts him doing basically 10 attack dice for 140, not even Jotun has 10 attack dice.

Now that I have commented on your card, please comment on mine

[robbdaman]

UPDATED WITH V2!

[Onacara]

What you could do is make it so when the Werewolf is down to 4 life he converts back to man form for the other 4 life.

I don't really want to do that though, it goes against what I wanted to do with it. It had occured to me that I could make it involuntary for him to change every round or turn and if he had 4 wounds in Werewolf form and turned back into a human he'd die instantly. Which would certainly be a big drawback but almost too much. I dunno. I'll try the v2 version and see how it plays.

[Kinseth]

Wow now version 2 has him doing 12 attack dice?

even at 180 hes under priced.

[robbdaman]

Actually that's 6 attack die with successes being doubled. Potentially more damage but also potentially less.

Either way I think he's not under priced but overpowered. I think I have to make his human form a total wuss so any increases make just make him look way better.

Even if he only rolls 3 out of 6 skulls he would take out the majority of the figures in the game in one shot...way undervalued...either that or you make it so he has one chance to turn into the wolf per game and if he misses thats it..this way you are taking a risk by taking him but the reward could be huge. The fact that as he is now he can take out Charos in one shot means he needs to be valued over 220.
