Custom Halo Heroes/Squads

[Cryoprime]

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums, but not new to Heroscape, my brother and I have been playing with our friends since they first came out, we've started working on some Halo cars, that we'll use with some of the Todd McFarlane Halo Wars miniatures guys, I know they're a little larger thatn average Heroscape guys, but I think we're going to play the Halo guys separate from normal games. I'd love people's opinions on how the cards look and if the characters are overpowered or not, we'd really like to balance the game so it's fun and certain characters won't just dominate everyone, so here are a few one's we've gotten done, and I'll post more as we make them.

**EDIT** I've made a lot of changes and more figures, we've been playtesting them and making changes, let me know what you think!















feedback is very much appreciated.

These are really cool looking! Good job, welcome to the site!

The figures are very good, and there's only one thing I would suggest. I'd put Spartan-EVA a bit higher, point-wise--having ranged attacks regularly plus a special attack of 7 and defense of 6 is really good. I'd say closer to 170 or 180, but that's just me.

I reall like Ripa and the Blue Team, excellent job on these! +Rep for you!

Thanks, I will definitely make the Eva a little more expensive point wise. thanks again for the feedback, I'm working on a Flamethrower Unit from Halo Wars, I'll post him once he's done too.

I made a custom Master Chief and an Arbiter with the idea of using them with my marvel customs, so if you think they are overpowered, they kinda were designed that way. But here are their stats.

Master Chief

Life 7
Move 5
Range 4
Attack 4
Defense 6

Bubble shield
When rolling defense against a ranged attack, one shield will block all damage

Master Sniper
One hit Kill Head Shot
Range 10
Must roll a 1 on the D20, if a 17 or higher is rolled, MC loses one
defense die for the round.

Melee Beat-Down
Range 1 Attack 6
After initial attack, roll D20
if 17 or higher is rolled, MC may attack a second time

Death from the Grave
If Killed, MC will throw a last second, instant kill grenade, bringing his aggressor to the grave with him. MC must roll an 18 to 20 on the D20.

Arbiter

Life 6
Move 5
Range 2
Attack 6
Defense 4

Inspirational Bond
All adjacent allies receive one additional attack die. Arbiter receives an additional defense die if an adjacent ally is present.

Ancient Cloak
D20: 13 to 20
May only roll once per round, if successful, cloak will remain on during entire round. All enemies roll one less attack and defense die against Arbiter

Will of the Prophets
Once per game, Arbiter may roll the D20 to sacrifice for the cause. If 16-20 is rolled all wound markers are removed from all active allies and given to Arbiter.

They are supposed to be opposites of each other, MC takes life, Arbiter gives life. Master Chiefs numbers on rolls are 1 and 17 because he is Spartan 117.

I would post my cards, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.

Any Help?

yeah, if you upload you pictures, into something like Imageshack.us for example, then use the "direct link" and put "[IMG]" before, then "[/IMG]" after (without the quotation marks) then it should show up just like I've got 'em.

One little nit-pick. There are a couple common cards with more than 1 life. Commons really need to be 1 life units. There is no real way to track wounds per figure. To keep them more or less the same you really should give them some sort of special ability, lower their points, or something. Maybe a special like stealth armor, tough, or shields of valor.

They look pretty cool to me. Welcome to the site.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Good job though. I'm not a Halo fan, but these look pretty good.

Okay, So I got it linked, but am still working on the posting part of it.

[redstang]

Not working

Oh, good point with the 'Lites and the 2 life... I'll have to think about it, when we played we just kept track.
