And, thanks to DaniLoche, there are now two!

[TheAverageFan]

Very nice card - although I hafta zoom in quite a bit just to read the tiny text.

Just out of curiosity, are you planning on uploading any Customs that aren't part of Dr. Goomonkey's customs contests?

~TAF

[Lazy Orang]

Yes, but the only ones that are presently completed are:

a) part of large and presently incomplete planned waves/sets, or
b) Superscape customs and a bad fit for this thread.

It will probably be mainly contest customs for a while, though I may come up with an occasional standalone, but a large wave is in progress.

Glad you like Dreg!

A bit late for Autumn Equinox, but I suspect I'm the only one here who actually cares about that, so here we go! Here's the card from the last of Dr.Goomonkey's contests - the first squad I've posted on here. I'm actually pretty happy with these guys - they aren't competitive, but they feel like a good, fun, thematic squad, at least to me.

Eternity lies ahead of us, and behind. Have you drunk your fill?
-- Lady Deirdre Skye ,"Conversations With Planet"

(Sorry, couldn't help myself - niche computer game reference. Haven't actually played it yet, but I've heard lots of good things about it from my brother, and it sounds fascinating.)

Anyway, that out of nowhere quote actually serves a purpose - introducing my latest creation for this thread! As you may have noticed, the last of Dr.Goomonkey's custom contests just closed - while I didn't win, I was quite happy with my entry.

The moment I saw that the figure was a brain on legs, I immediately knew I wanted to try to do something creative with it. I chose not to go the psychic control/warfare route, as that felt a tad obvious to me and, while this may have something to do with playing C3G as well as classic, I don't feel like the game's lacking in that department anyway. Taking inspiration from what my brother's said about some of the themes of Alpha Centauri (the game I took the earlier quote from), the First Ones of Babylon 5 and Doctor Manhattan, I decided to try creating someone who had used science to transcend her humanity - to unshackle her mind and see the universe in ways we couldn't even comprehend. Unlike most of the prior examples, however, in her case, she is lacking raw power, and, when transcending at the cost of her body, was left as only a walking brain for her physical form.
The first power I worked out for her was I See It All - I wanted something to represent her consciousness being unbound, unconfined, her ability to see the universe for how it truly is and observe things others cannot. Since the intricacies sub-atomic particles and star stuff are probably of little significance in a bloody Heroscape confrontation, I decided to represent this idea by allowing her to view an opponent's Order Marker or any glyph on the battlefield, granting you valuable information. Instantaneous Calculation is intended to represent the unfettered intellect previously mentioned, while also depicting her sheer, unnatural intelligence, following the experiment which made her what she is. It is heavily based on 12th Level Intellect from C3G's Brainiac, and, in my experience, makes her a fun, useful and strategic support unit, and really sells her theme - she can make use of her transcendent nature to affect the battle in small but significant ways throughout the game, while not getting personally involved. Mental Shield is straight-up stolen from C3G, and just gives her immunity from Mind Control - such minor mental tricks are nothing to her now. Her range of three is meant to represent a certain degree of psychic power - in fact, I imagine that she communicates telepathically now, on account of her lack of vocal chords.
The name Gudruna is a female German name I found meaning Divine Knowledge - it seemed fitting for the character. Vogt is a surname meaning... bailiff. Yeah, no deep meaning behind that one, she just needed a surname.

Let me know what you think.

Unit Bio

Spoiler Alert!

The Soulborgs are nothing if not inventive - and most have a distressing tendency to be callous. In the Mariedians, who they overthrew, they see not only a nuisance, but also a resource to be harvested - be it in slave camps mining asteroids for the raw materials to expand their armies of machines, or simply being recycled, mulched for organic materials or drained for emergency stores of energy. In the Centurions, however, they have found a new use for the Mariedians.
Through cybernetic implants they strengthen the host organism, the melding of metal and flesh proving stronger, more durable and more adaptable than either alone. Then, they place a machine in the host’s brain, suppressing the Mariedian’s personality behind waves of code, leaving it entirely dormant, and the now enhanced body completely subservient to their will - killing machines without the faintest hint of conscience, fear, emotion or desire. To those Soulborgs who have developed systems of thought mimicking those of regular organisms, the irony of turning the Mariedians’ former comrades into their greatest nightmare is an added bonus. Though some Centurions are strong-willed enough to manage to counteract their programming and join the resistance, or are captured and reprogrammed into the weapons of desperate or morally shady resistance groups, these remain rare occurances. Seeing these heartless warriors, Luselene knew that their complete lack of anything that could be considered emotion, combined with their terrifying prowess in battle, made them the perfect agents of the rigid, uncompromising order she espoused.
The Cryo Centurion is only one such variant of these super-soldiers. Normally deployed on the ice-cold moon of Isadora, these enforcers are also used to pacify groups of Mariedians on Alpha Prime itself. Strapped into Cryo Suits designed to adapt to sub-zero climates, allowing it to fare better under those conditions, a Cryo Centurion is also armed with a Cryo Blaster, a weapon used to freeze its target, normally leaving ice build-ups on the victim’s body. Those who survive this process are captured and used as more raw materials for the Soulborgs - those who do not are considered no great loss.

The Ferro Centurion is only one such variant of these super-soldiers. Often used as a reserve force, the Ferro Centurions may be less sophisticated than the other Centurions, but they are no less effective. Their pneumatic hammers may not seem like the sort of high-tech weaponry that the Soulborgs would use, but they can still break bones and shatter skulls, and are remarkably efficient when it comes to the expenditure of energy and raw materials. Not only that, but the iron superstructure of the Ferro Centurion has proved to be particularly resilient to the Mariedians' more... experimental weaponry. Few rebels who come face to face with a Ferro Centurion escape with their skeletons intact.

The Tesla Centurion is only one such variant of these super-soldiers. The foot soldier of the Centurions, the Tesla Centurion is deployed where the fighting is thickest. Firing arcing bolts of electricity from their palms, Tesla Centurions are capable of frying large groups of Mariedians simultaneously. The bolts are generally fatal, which is considered non-ideal as it limits possibilities for... 'recycling'... but when facing an organised rebellion, such means are often deemed necessary.
