Pyre's Trash to Treasure Custom Contest

Hasn't been a contest around here recently, so let's try one!

One of my old Mage Knight figures I got from a pack last year is pretty useless. His pose seems a little too comical, and his paint job was absolutely horrendous. So I never even bothered to think of some powers for him. But then I had the idea to make him the basis for this contest!

So...


Goal: Create a custom card for a figure that has one of the worst paint jobs in the history of miniatures, and a fairly ridiculous sculpt, and make it actually usable! I'll re-paint it, updating as I go, while people create cards. Then when it's finished, I'll have a poll for the best card.

Prize: The winner will receive the custom painted figure to go with your new card! Unfortunately that's really the only prize I can give, but I'm a pretty decent painter.

The contest will end when I finish the figure, but probably around the end of the month or so regardless of when I finish it. Then I'll set up a poll for the entries!

EDIT: Deadline is Saturday, March 6

The figure in question is here:





A total of four colors used... And I love the green on the back of his sheaths there...

So, make some cards! If you're wondering about what race to make him, you can do whatever you want. A mini troll, orc, goblin, whatever. But I'm going to make his skin green again, if that affects your decision.


Good luck! Have fun!

Re: Pyre's Trash to Treasure Custom Contest

You don't like the Orc Slasher? He's not nearly as goofy looking as the Crushers, those guys had freaking football helmets . . . .

I might just have to enter this one.

I don't need no instructions to know how to rock.

Re: Pyre's Trash to Treasure Custom Contest

Does it have to be a serious card?

I don't know every MK figure out there; just what I get in my packs.

And it's mostly the paint job. I know I can make him look good in that way.

I'm painting him seriously, but you can do whatever you want! But it will be a poll, so if you think you can get votes with it, go ahead!

Well, the Orc Crusher is from that same set I beleive (that's a really old one right?) and it was basically the same sculpt, just with a club and football helmet rather than swords and a sheild.

btw, how tall is this guy in heroscape heights? All of my orc slashers are in storage.

I don't need no instructions to know how to rock.

Yeah, it's from one of the first ones. Picked up a starter set for $1!

And he's a little more than 3 hexes high, except for his sheath which goes about 5.

Nice, I still remember my first starter of Rebellion . . . . $20 at the San Diego Comic con, I got a Necromancer and the guy at the Wizkids booth offered me $20 bucks on the spot for it. I didn't take it.

And by the way, you guys don't have to add a picture, since I'm repainting it anyway.

EDIT: He looks better with those eyes.
