C3V & SoV Alternate Figures
I am not officially a member of the C3V/SoV, so please forgive me for taking this upon myself, but I would like to get the ball rolling on this idea I have had for awhile. We NEED to have alternate figures for all of the C3V/SoV units that are hard to obtain for a reasonable cost (I will define reasonable here as there being a every-day supply to get $8 for a non-huge hero, and $15 for a huge hero or any squad, whether common or unique - which is double-triple what Heroscape figures cost at MSRP). Many people are recently trying to get into C3V/SoV and are finding that lack of obtainable miniatures is a stumbling block, and IMHO this is one of the most important factor hurting Valhalla Customs, and feel getting older units more available is a more urgent need than making new units. We will discuss on this thread and if need be have voting either public or by sanctum members similar to normal C3V/SoV process. Once agreed upon, the books will mention both miniatures and alternate cards will be published, and then tournament directors that allow C3V/VC would allow these alternate figures.
Please post suggestions on miniatures to use. Ideally, there should be 100+ of them available combining all online stores, eBay, amazon, etc., and be $5 or less for a small-large hero, and $12 or less for a squad or Huge hero. Although you might not be able to get one that looks that similar, it should be relatively the same size. For example, for the nearly impossible to obtain MechWarrior miniatures, some Star Wars miniatures might suffice even though they will look nothing alike, you can find miniatures the same height and relative profile. Plase visit sites on Shopping for SoV/C3V minis or look at the linked Heroscape C3V & SoV spreadsheet for places to look for alternative figures. I have went through every miniature and compiled a list of where to find each in my Heroscape C3V & SoV Spreadsheet, and have found the below list of figures unreasonably hard to obtain, for which we desperately NEED alternate figures for.

Re: C3V & SoV Alternate Figures
I have a bunch of proxy figures for VC units, but a quick search on availability of those figures doesn't turn up anything like the levels you're looking for. Here are two that might work:
Crypt Guardian
Spoiler Alert!
Ulfrid Hornwrangler
Spoiler Alert!

@wriggz
Thanks! I already have the last dwarf for Ulfrid so I will be using him. When I have time, I will search for what miniatures those are, but if you know the brand, set, name and number of each mini, that would be awesome.
@IshMEL Thanks too. I know finding a mini with more than 100 available at a chaep cost may be hard for some, but if we want to have quasi-official alternates, then I would pick the one with the highest availability.

Re: C3V & SoV Alternate Figures
Didn't the Pathfinder figures just get a re-release. A bit pricey, but its not like 5-6$ is unreasonable for HS figures these days.
All I really want is Kira Jax, my full maridean army really misses their leader |

Re: C3V & SoV Alternate Figures
Here's my take on Kira Jax:
The Figure used is Daisy Fitzroy - 004 She looks like a leader, especially when she's standing next to my ragtag buch of Maeridians lol |

Re: C3V & SoV Alternate Figures
Golem Mechanic and Troll Gunner are the exact correct figures for Beorn Boltcutter and Rygarn respectively, and the ones I'll be using - they just have different paint jobs. I don't know how available they are, so it may not mean much, but it opens it up a bit, at least.

Re: C3V & SoV Alternate Figures
In addition to those, there are some other Mage Knight figures that are the same sculpt as the official ones.
@lefton4ya
-- I don't know if you want to update your spreadsheet with these?
Rygarn: Amotep Norda, Troll Gunner Andask: Chofni, Corrupted Priest Beorn: Golem Mechanic, Rigger Turga |

Yep, IshMEL, good ones - in fact I mentioned two of them.

I will update the spreadsheet plus compile all the suggestions in this thread to the OP by the weekend.

Re: C3V & SoV Alternate Figures
I'd just like to say, thank you for the spreadsheet, it has been very helpful to me as someone who is just starting to get into C3V/SoV.
I'm a stickler for getting the exact mold that was approved for some reason, so figures like the Ebon Armor, are very painful. As a side note, several of the links lead to 404 errors. |
