Springtime Custom Competition - Go Vote at the Poll!

[Dr.Goomonkey]

What are you doing here? Go vote!

Spring is in the air, and you know what that means! Another fabulous custom competition has been put together by yours truly, Dr.G. Treants are our focus today, or ents, or treefolk, or whatever you like to call big walking tree people. Here are a number of minis to choose from, and I'm sure you can find more if you look around the internet.



Here are some minis that aren't all hodge-podged together:

Spoiler Alert!

5" height


5.9" height


64mm at eyes 105mm at top of branches


This is the same mini as the one above it!


1.5" height


3" height (but I think necroblade said this one was medium 5... All of these height numbers are now unreliable, and most of them came from Troll and Toad)


1" height

Entries must be in by April 9, as the poll will go up sometime on the 10th.

Rules:

1. Entries must be sent to me via PM.

2. Keep your entry anonymous while the contest is running.

3. Only 1 entry per member.

4. You may not vote for your own entry as the winner (even if it is the best), and you must vote if you enter.

5. Your submission must be made for this contest (no reusing your old, saggy customs). Actually, you may use customs you've already made.

Other Clarifications:

You may enter if you do not make a card for your unit. If you submit the entry early enough I will make a card for you. Also, it's pretty easy to make your own, just use @Xorlof 's awesome card creator.

If you want to change your entry you can, just PM me before I post the poll.

Character bios are allowed, and they might tip the scales in your favour so I recommend them.

It's great to see another one of these up! I do have a quick question, though: the title of this thread says that the entries are due by April 9th, while the main post says that they're due on April 2nd. I assume that the former is a typo?

Haha, sure was a typo. Thought I edited it out before anybody saw it, too. Looks like you caught me.

[Confred]

Well, shoot, you've done called me out. I'll have to do something.

[Markb97402]

I will go ahead and enter for fun. I usually make superscape stuff, but Im in a card making mood, so what the heck

[OmegaPegasus]

What the hay. I shall give it a shot. Been wanting to try my hand at customs for while anyway

[Zetsubo]

Time to get my thinking cap on.

[Ronin]

Threw my hat in the ring. As much time as I've spent with C3G, I've actually never tried to come up with a custom for classic before - very different design headspace to be in. I've had my eye on the last couple of these contests, though, so I figured I may as well give it a shot.

Trying to figure out how to price things in classic after spending so long in the SuperScape arena is... tricky.

Spoiler Alert!

I'd disagree with that statement - were Charos designed by C3G, he'd end up costing significantly more due to the stats alone. He'd probably beat most comparably pointed C3G heroes one on one, with some exceptions. In the end, the primary thing to note is this - in Superscape, threat to heroes is weighed heavier, in Classic, threat to squads should be weighed heavier. Q9 actually wouldn't be too unreasonable in Superscape - Punisher would probably be considered better due to synergies, manoeuvrability and the fact that Assault Rifle can be boosted while Queglix Gun can't. Q9 would still be tougher too kill, but 4 Life 7 Defence feels a little less adamantine in superscape - still rough for that cost, but not the same level of 'how do I scratch this bastard?' it is in Classic - and the fact that Q9 would be less of a big deal isn't because Superscape units are just that much better (I actually don't think there's that much of a power discrepancy between the two games), it's because the types of units he'd face would just be better equipped to deal with him - smaller numbers, bigger defence, bigger attacks. He'd still be good - perhaps even undercosted - but not the same monster as in Classic.

Look forward to seeing you in the contest, Ronin - I'll definitely be entering myself, as well.

Been wanting to enter a contest for awhile, but always got side tracked. Entry on the way.

[Heroscaper 101]

This will be my very first contest, how do I enter.
My custom units are not all tree based, but I made some tree based. The custom units are from the 1st page of this thread and they are called, Dread Wood, Val Goldenbark, Wise Oak, Defenders of Oak, Ironbark Protector, Ancient Forest Golem, and Forest Golem.
