Obfuscatedhippo - Customs from Kai

[obfuscatedhippo]

Editing this thread to be a "My Customs" thread.

Reaper Bones customs:

Spoiler Alert!

Wanted to share the Customs that I developed for my Northwest Customs teammates as Xmas gifts. The figures are from Reaper Bones and were painted by Diane, a painter on eBay under the alias dispang.

Army cards crafted by the incredible IshMEL.

# 1. DEVLIN SKYHAWK
New addition to the Lawmen faction. Devlin is a Lawman who carries a mystical powered Pocket Watch that allows him to see glimpses into the future. In Devlin’s time he tracks down rogue clock-work automatons and other tesla-powered technologists. He has recalibrated his mechana disruptor to bring down the soulborgs of Valhalla.

Spoiler Alert!

Figure is the Steampunk Adventurer from Reaper Bones.

# 2. XAVIER LAWSON
This figure was initially going to be a Paladin but I decided to go with a Human Champion (which is sort of what Paladins are) to give the Knights of Weston and the MacDirks a new bonding option. Maybe they didn’t need the help but this figure can also be a solid stand-alone hero.
Xavier wields two powerful magical items – the Sword of Flames and the Shield of Light. With his Sword, Xavier can launch bolts of fire short distances and also engulf his opponents in searing flames. His shield emits a blinding light that repels evil.

Spoiler Alert!

Figure is Almaran the Gold from Reaper Bones.

# 3. DELANDRIA
Next up is Delandria. This figure was the first one that I saw on eBay from Diana. The long, heavy black cloak and assassin class inspired ideas from D&D for a rogue with a displacer cloak. As I was developing her powers, I came across the Bladesinger class for a mixed rogue-sorcerer who could channel magic through her blades.
The displacer cloak’s enchantment creates an illusion of Delandria’s actual position, causing opponent’s to miss or suddenly finding her out of reach or range. Once per round Delandria can cast her Haste spell to double her movement or make a double attack.

Spoiler Alert!

Figure is Deladrin, Female Assassin from Reaper Bones.

# 4. ELLEN STONE
It was time for the Lawmen faction to have a Lady added to their ranks. And when Ellen Stone calls upon her fellow marshalls, deputies, and peacemakers, they rally behind her with incredible results.
Ellen’s inspiration calls the Lawmen together to bring justice to the battlefield. She coordinates the cowboys’ attacks and movement with insightful tactics learned from her years of tutelage under her father and grandfather who were great commanders of the early US army.
As a master of all weapons, when Ellen’s comrades are wounded or fall in the heat of the battle, she can take up their arms and continue the fight.

Spoiler Alert!

Figure is Ellen Stone from Reaper Bones.

These figures haven't really been play-tested yet .. but that's the fun of new Heroscape for the Christmas holiday.

Feedback welcome.

Pretty cool customs - I like 'em!

[Dr.Goomonkey]

I like all I see, looking forward to seeing more! I find Xavier's stats kind of funny, but I think it works haha.

[ZBeeblebrox]

Nice ideas here. Great job

[obfuscatedhippo]

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, the "All 4's" is sort of odd. He was 4 Range, 4 Move, 3 Attack, 5 Defense during my first draft .. but then I thought he was too tough to take down.

Xavier is a fun figure though. He's pretty awesome with Knights of Weston .. giving them 6 attacks per OM like Grimnak + Gruts.

ARMY IDEA:
Xavier Lawson ... 125
Sir Gilbert ... 230
Knights of Weston x3 ... 440
Eldgrim ... 470
Guilty McCreech ... 500

Sounds a lot like the army I'm using in a tournament right now, using MacDirk as my main Champion for Weston though.

Definitely a fun, thematic, and competitive army.

Here is another Reaper Bones custom that I am working on for Heroscape.

Figures: Reaper Bones - Hellhound (painted for snow/ice instead)

SHROUD OF SNOW & ICE
All land spaces adjacent to Frostwolf are considered to be normal snow spaces and all water spaces are considered to be normal ice. If Frostwolf is on a snow or ice space, when it is your opponent’s turn, any normal ice or normal snow spaces adjacent to Frostwolf are considered slippery ice or heavy snow.

GLACIAL ACCELERATION
All rock outcroppings adjacent to Frostwolf are considered Glacier Mountains. Figures adjacent to Frostwolf are considered to be adjacent to a Glacier Mountain.

[IshMEL]

Looks cool!

[obfuscatedhippo]

While not a Reaper Bones figure ... I thought I would add this Repaint custom (by Orgsbane) to this thread. It continues the "Tundra" theme that I have been working on.

GALD'RABOK
General: UTGAR
Species: Demon
Type: Unique Hero
Class: Savage
Personality: Dauntless
Size: LARGE 7
Points: 110

Stats
Life: 5
Move: 6
Range: 1
Attack: 4
Defense: 4

Special Powers
ICE STORM SPECIAL ATTACK
Range: 5 Attack: 3
Chose a figure to attack or chose Gald'rabok. Any figures adjacent to the chosen figure are also affected by Ice Storm Special Attack. Gald'rabok only needs clear sight at the chosen figure. Roll attack dice once for all affected figures. Each figure rolls defense dice separately. Gald'rabok cannot be affected by his own Ice Storm Special Attack.

GLACIAL HEALING
After taking a turn with Gald'rabok, if he is on at least one snow or ice space or adjacent to a Glacier Mountain, remove 1 wound marker from this Army Card.

[obfuscatedhippo]

Hey Heroscapers. I am working on two customs for the Utgar faction and I would love some feedback from the community. Basically the goal is to have the Common Hero "Guards" from Utgar have a Hero that coordinates them into a pseudo-squad like Kurrok does for the Elementals. That hero is below, along with a new Common Hero Guard to join their ranks. That Common Hero can also stand alone to support Deathwalkers and Wardens.

Feedback appreciated.

Unit Name: Commander Kaelex

General: Utgar
Planet: Magridorax

Species: Magrodon
Type: Unique Hero
Class: Warden
Personality: Merciless
Size: Medium 5

Points: 100

Stats
Life: 4
Move: 5
Range: 7
Attack: 3
Defense: 4

Special Powers
GUARD PATROL BONDING
After revealing an order marker on Commander Kaelex, instead of taking a turn with him, you may take a turn with 3 common Guard heroes you control that follow Utgar. Any guard heroes taking a turn must be within clear sight of Commander Kaelex or adjacent to a Unique Hero that follows Utgar before moving.

DEADMAN'S SWITCH
If Commander Kaelex receives enough wounds to destroyed, roll 3 attack dice. One at a time for each skull rolled, you may inflict one wound on any figure that is adjacent to Commander Kaelex or to one guard you control that follows Utgar. If a guard you control is destroyed with Deadman's Switch then choose 1 figure adjacent to that guard to receive 1 wound. A figure cannot receive more than 1 wound from Deadman's Switch. After using Deadman's Switch, remove Commander Kaelex from the battlefield.


Synergies:
Utgar Common Hero guards: Drow Chainfighter, Dumetef Guard, and Alpha-Prime Enforcer (below)


Figure:
GEARS OF WAR HEROCLIX GENERAL RAAM 009 (about $6.00)

Spoiler Alert!

Unit Name: Alpha-Prime Enforcer
General: Utgar
Planet: Isadora

Species: Soulborg
Type: Common Hero
Class: Guard
Personality: Fearless
Size: Medium 5

Points: 25

Stats
Life: 1
Move: 5
Range: 1
Attack: 3
Defense: 5

Special Powers
SECURITY DETAIL
After revealing an order marker on a unique Guard squad, or unique Deathwalker or Warden hero you control that follows Utgar, after taking a turn with that unit, you may take a turn with two Alpha-Prime Enforcers you control.

POWER-AXE
When an Alpha-Prime Enforcer attacks a figure that has a Special Attack, add 1 attack die.

Synergies:
Unique Utgar Guard squad: Zettian Guards
Unique Utgar Deathwalkers: 9000, 8000, 7000
Unique Utgar Wardens: Warden-816, Commander Kaelex (above)

Notes - does not bond with Deathcommander Mk3

Figure: Heroclix Persuader (about $1.00)

Spoiler Alert!

Hey Kai,

The first figure looks very cool. I've eyed some of those Gears of War figures. He looks like he'll fit right in with Utgar.

Some wording thoughts:

GUARD PATROL BONDING
After revealing an order marker on Commander Kaelex, instead of taking a turn with him, you may take a turn with 3 common Guard heroes you control that follow Utgar. Any guard heroes taking a turn must be within [X] clear sight spaces of Commander Kaelex [or adjacent to a Unique Hero that follows Utgar] before moving.

I think you're missing a number for the range there. Also I think it would be simpler without the other clause, if he's bonding with them / commanding them shouldn't he have to see them?

DEADMAN'S SWITCH
If Commander Kaelex receives enough wounds to destroyed, roll 3 attack dice. One at a time for each skull rolled, you may inflict one wound on any figure that is adjacent to Commander Kaelex or to one guard you control that follows Utgar. If a guard you control is destroyed with Deadman's Switch then choose 1 figure adjacent to that guard to receive 1 wound. A figure cannot receive more than 1 wound from Deadman's Switch. After using Deadman's Switch, remove Commander Kaelex from the battlefield.

A neat version of Dying Swipe but the wording is confusing -- do I read "one wound to a figure adjacent to CK or adjacent to an Utgar guard" or "one wound to a figure adjacent to CK or one wound to an Utgar guard."? I think from the rest of the power you mean the latter but I'm not sure.

Sorry it is supposed to be clear sight (no range limit, like Kato).

The intent is you can wound figures adjacent to CK or you can assign a wound from Deadman's Switch to one of your own guards - which then assigns a wound to a figure adjacent to that guard.

You assign the skulls one at a time - so if you roll 2 skulls you can assign the first skull to a figure adjacent to CK and then assign the second skull to a Dumetef guard. Since that destroys the 1-Life Dumetef you can assign one wound to a figure adjacent to the Dumetef.

If CK was adjacent to two squad figures, and you rolled 2 skulls, you could assign a wound to each. If CK was adjacent only to a hero, the most wounds you could assign is 1.
