Anyway I just bought a near complete fantastic forces set on eBay. Is there a way I can find every model used in c3g outside to searching every name? Was also wondering if there was any interest from other people who want sets from this since I will have the rookie experienced and veterans. I plan to take the experienced figures and put the rest on eBay unless some fellow heroscapers wanted them.

I'd recommend starting a thread in the sales and trade area on here. Read through the stickied thread first in that forum.

Have a blast! We hope to see you around our edge of the woods more!

So I got my fantastic forces set. Looking into it it seems Black Knight and maybe Hawkeye are single base figures. Is this correct?

[Yodaking]

yup

So for figures like green golbin do you just leave him on his flight stand and use him or do you rebase him on ground level. Also for master set Batman I saw he was on some bricks. Are you supposed to cut him off and rebase him or is he intended to be that high?

Having a figure on a flight stand (or something like Batman's bricks) makes it easier for them to see and be seen around obstacles. Generally it's not a huge deal which way you go.

I've removed some figures from flight stands and left some on. I've done enough figures that I usually just take the path of least resistance at this point.

I can understand I just wasn’t sure if that was the intent of the design choosing those models or not. Granted I wasn’t around at the time so idk if there were no Batman’s that didn’t have issues like those bricks. I’ll probably take the flight stand off of green golbin in the end. Thankfully it isn’t that difficult to pop it off and reglue in most cases. Although I am not sure about my vulture. I probably could have done him better.

Figures on flight stands are generally the easiest for me to rebase. They usually have a peg that fits in the stand so if you take them off the stand you can attach them through the bases. My trick is to put a little putty under the base so the peg can have something solid to stick in until the glue dries. I can then clean off the putty and save it for next time.

I'm looking for some advice on doing a 2 on 1 battle with Galactus. Any ideas on points or map selection? Haven't used Galactus before.

[IAmBatman]

I'd say definitely use a map that you're planning on taking down after! Galactus will get you halfway through clean up.

Are you wanting to do two armies that add up to the same points as him? Or two armies of the same amount of points as he is versus him? If you overwhelm him with points too much, eating the map will be his only hope, so don't make it too big of a map!

Thanks, I guess I'm not sure of points. He's 1600, so him vs 600 and 600? 500 and 500? I'm wondering what others have done with him.

Never done a 2 on 1 before, so I can’t help there, sadly.
