Sherman Davies' Marvel customs - Super Skrull

I think a just saw a Giganto on E-Bay for $9. I rebased him using two regular heroclix bases and it works really good on the hexes.

With these versions, the one-shield-blocks-all option is better against attacks of three skulls or more, while the extra dice option is better against attacks of one or two skulls.

I've updated my Vydar versions of these guys. Looks good!

Thanks again, IshMEL, I couldn't have done it without your help.

Unfortunately, I don't have any of the really huge (and expensive) figures Heroclix has made over the years. I've also never given much thought to how such figures would move around if they were too big to fit on a peanut base.

Giganto fits on the two hex base, and he is glorious...

Can you post a picture of this? I didn't he could stand or fit on a two hex base. I glued him to 2 heroclix bases that leave 1 hex empty between them. He leans forward but is pretty stable.

I'd like to see this as well.

If he's off his rock, then he would be three hexes. If you leave him on the rock (that is, put the rock on the base) the rock fits on a two hexer. His feet hang over, so it's not easy for him to stand right next to a building in some cases. It's a little tippy (the heroscape peanut isn't as stable as the round clix base), so the 3-hex solution might be better.


Either way, he's so big that he really needs a lot of level ground to move around, so designing his powers would need to give him something like Reach to make sure he could grab/pummel at a distance. Honestly, whatever the card says, the figure is so cool that someone is just going to start moving him around and smashing things.

Try two single bases instead of the peanut base.

Nice idea! I think I have some of the larger single bases, and that might be perfect.
