The Roman statues came from the flea market of a historical miniatures model show I went to. He had boxes of them. I believe they were readily bought kids toy figures from the 70s. There were WW2 soldiers, Wild West cowboys, that kinda stuff. I simply have no idea what they are exactly. Chas may know.

I also picked up a tumbler style Batmobile after seeing your pictures. I'm assuming it's a bit bigger, the scale is 1/32. Next to the 1/43 vehicles it looks pretty good though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Jada-Batman...item3af70d382c On a similar note, this water tank with stand works really well for a rooftop destructible object. https://www.ebay.com/i/142398555357?chn=ps I really need to share some photos once I've got mods done and everything is painted. |

Re: Grishnakh's Custom Terrain
I used a Dremel (maybe this is what GP means by "routing tool"??) to modify the base of a Star Wars minis AT-ST into a peanut. It worked pretty well, especially on the second one I did.
The unmodified base is a large circle: I cut the base of the figure on the left first. I centered a large peanut base on the underside of the AT-ST's base, right below the feet, then traced and cut. The AT-ST figure is fairly top heavy. The figure on the left is stable, but tends to fall forward on its face if bumped too hard. So when I cut the second base, I biased the peanut base towards the toes as much as I could while tracing it. This one is much more stable. You can see that the edge of the base comes right up to the heel of the foot in the background of the figure on the right and very close to the heel of the foot in the foreground.

Re: Grishnakh's Custom Terrain
Yeah, I meant to say rotary tool, not routing. My work sells one that's similar to a Dremel and has really good reviews and price. This is what happens when you post too early in the morning.
Thanks for sharing the pics Porkins. |

So not sure how active you are these days but I am curious if you did make any changes here. I go back and forth on the standard base attack and modifier to figures attack. One thing I've thought of but haven't actually tested yet was a combo but it's kind of a break from standard Heroscape rules. For example... The attack roll would be a modifier of the figures attack, but it wouldn't be standard Attacker's skulls - Defender's shields. But more a base number of unblockable wounds per item size. Basically Attacker's Skulls > Defender's Shields, Medium sized objects (mailboxes, trash cans, etc) do 1 damage. So the number of attack dice to hit is higher for Hulk than Spidey so he's more likely to hit but the damage is the same. Hulk will throw that mailbox harder/faster than Spidey so it's harder to avoid/absorb but in the end it's still a mailbox and it can only do so much damage before it disintegrates. Anyways, just interested in if you put anymore thought in here. Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

But anyway, you are right, I'm not active here anymore. Trust me, long story, but it's all water under the bridge. I do get notices when someone quotes me, thus the reason I've stopped back in. Glad to see the community still thriving! I did play around with simplifying what I was trying to model with my ITF rules in one of my last posted projects here, my Star Wars customs. I took what I had originally done for supers and modified them for my Force rules. I'm sure my Star Wars thread is still around here somewhere. I was going to take those ideas and perhaps adapt them back into my supers game but I never got back to it. Regardless, as for me I went back to my first love which is RPGs. And I've been playing a ton of those types of game over these past several years. Covid actually made me reach out to friends and family that are scattered all over the US and helped me reconnect with many of them through gaming. At least one good thing has come out of this horrible pandemic I guess. Heck, with my customs I was moving Heroscape more towards a role playing game anyway and I finally just decided to stop pushing the system and just went back to playing RPGs. I'm glad a few people here appreciated what I was doing, however I realized that many just wanted Heroscape to stay firmly as a board game so I don't think what I was doing was overall well received. Anyway, if you do take anything I've done and work out a good way to pick up and throw stuff in a game be sure and let me know! I have been thinking about all those superhero miniatures I own and all those buildings I've made. Perhaps I'll pull it all out again someday soon and give it another go, just for old times sake!Be well! -Grishnakh My Custom Terrain Thread: http://www.heroscapers.com/community...read.php?t=448 |

Re: Grishnakh's Custom Terrain
Ah the Star Wars thread. That's why I couldn't find it. I forgot about that one.
As for me, I'm surviving. It was a brain injury so it's never fully gone but for the most part it's just like getting older. Such as Reflexes, fine motor, and memory are worse than they were. Good to hear you are making the best of a bad situation there. Also glad to hear that you are here less because you are just enjoying another hobby and not that anything happened. I also branched out and created an online version of a sports card game to connect with people all over the place on TableTop Simulator. It is great we have so many ways to stay sane and connected to people in times like this. Stay well. Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

Re: Grishnakh's Custom Terrain
Agreed. Stay in touch.
What RPGs do you play? Been playing my own system on the regular lately. RPGs are my first love as well. We added a new young gamer to the group. Always nice to inject some youth and get new perspective. Would love to play on your city map again someday. C3G finally finished and released a couple buildings of our own. You were a huge influence and that game we played always stuck with me. Thank you. |
