So I decided to make some customs for filling in holes listed in the specific lists:

Jurassic World DINOSAURS!
In light of a Jurassic World coming out as well as me recently purchasing a bin used for Jungle ruins that also came with dinosaurs, I have created some new Dinosaur customs. You may notice references to the first movie as well as the Land Before Time. Please give suggestions on better names though. I didn't playtest anything besides Fastclaw and Spiketail which I already made. As always, feedback is highly welcome.
First, what/where to get:
I got a 50-Piece Dinosaur Bucket from Wal-mart for $6, now is $8.32
Pictures of set, including comparisons in spoiler:
Jungle trees and rocks came in set in addition to 24 dinosaurs. Giant rock outcrop is a perfect 7-hex blocker.
Jungle brush is 99 cents each at walmart, and in combination with Dino set is a great replacement for Ticalla Jungle.
Toys 'R Us Animal Planet in a Storage Bucket - Dinosaur
Safari Dinosaur TOOBS
Safari Dinosaur TOOBS - Carnivorous Set
The card images are mostly taken from Safari figures. Hit images I usually did not bother to clean up (make red and green). I might do later when I have time.
RAPTOR:
Fastclaw & Raptor Youngling

STEGOSAURUS:
Spiketail & Spike

PTERANADON
Pterano & Petrie

BRACHIOSAURUS/APATOSAURUS
Longneck & Littlefoot

TRICERATOPS:
Three-horn & Cera

PARASAUROLOPHUS
Bircrest & Bircrest Jr.

DILOPHOSAURUS
Spitter

TYRANNOSAURUS:
Rex & Rover

Old versions of Dinosaurs From Reaper Minis as requested by Auggie:
Fastclaw from Reaper Minis

Raptor that bonds with Troglodytes below and Fryolag Spiders. Combo of Tornak and Grimnak.
Thornback from Reaper Minis

Stegosaurus with power based off Summoner Wars Gror, which I alwasy though would be an awesome power especially in a 2-hex figure.
Other Units
Green Wyrmling from D&D Copper Wyrmling (New & Old versions)


Modded Killer Cactus's Green Wyrmling (up for SoV nomination). His is 3/5 at 30 points, mine is 4/4 at 35 points. Personally, I think 4/4 just feels more like "baby charos" but both are playable. The new version removes Wyrmling Bonding. I think this is great, because he can still reverse bond with the other Wyrmling, but he is not overpowered with the 4th Mass or against melee only armies because having a bunch of Green Wyrmling by themselves is not an option here.
Troglodyte Brutes - Custom Lizarfolk Squad from D&D Underdark 40 Troglodyte Captain, Underdark 59 Troglodyte Barbarian, War Drums 59 Troglodyte Thug, War of the Dragon Queen 43 Cleric of Laogzed

Kinda like Knights or Roman Soldiers except increased attack in groups, but they bond with a lot worse figures thank knights or soldiers. I noticed a lot of crappy units were Ferocious, especially uncommon heroes, so I tried to make a squad that is good by itself but bonds with some of the crappiest figures to try to help them. Common/Uncommon units they bond with now don't have to think about order management. I made them a unit of four and will have to play with costing as 70 might be more realistic.
Ferocious heroes (non-huge) that follow Aquilla or Utgar: Feral Troll, Ice Troll Berserker, Rhogar Dragonspine, Sahuagin Raider, Wyvern C3V/SoV: Bahadur, Himmelskralle, Kozil, Otar, Suskra. They also get a bonus from huge ferocious heroes and other ferocious squads (including in opponent's army): Brunak, Fen Hydra, Grimnak, Mimring, Nilfheim, White Wyrmling, Mezzodemon Warmongers, Obsidian Guards, Quasatch Hunters, if Marvel then Abomination & Venom, if C3V/SoV then Racheim, Varkaanan Greyspears, Varkaanan Swiftfangs.
Troglodyte Bonecrusher - Custom Lizardfolk Hero from D&D Dungeons of Dread 27 Troglodyte Bonecrusher

Bonds with both Troglodyte Brutes above. I like that he adds one automatic skull/shield to both attack and defense. Really hard to kill, but still one attack a turn (unless bonding). May be too cheap, though.
Gimli The Great - Aquilla Flagbearer Dwarf from D&D Night Below 07 Guard of Mithral hall

For Reference, Aquilla Heroes & Squads:
Heroes:
Blue Wyrmling
Brave Arrow
Darrak Ambershard
Master Win Chiu Woo
Migol Ironwill
Mogrimm Forgehammer
Rhogar Dragonspine
Sujoah
Water Elemental
Wyvern
Squads:
Axegrinders of Burning Forge
Fyorlag Spiders
Granite Guardians
Mohican River Tribe
Quasatch Hunters
I like that the aura only affects melee attacks as all the Aquilla figures (besides water elemental and kinda MRT) are melee, and I also like that it affects more than just dwarves and MRT as it opens up army builds (although you probably want some to bond with). Even him with some Wyverns, Blue Wyrmlings, Rhogar, and Dwarves would be awesome. Add in Raelin and/or Rats and wo! With his Captain America/Ornak/Hatamoto Taro style Aura, Maybe 105 is cheap, or maybe it is still expensive, so more playtesting would be needed. Will need to modify sword into flag.
Hobbit Assassin - Ninja General/Flagbearer from D&D UnderDark 19 Halfling Sneak

Brings Ninjas close to tourney level. Does not have bonding perse but you do not need to use an order marker on her if under attack.
Blood Reaper - Undead General from D&D Desert of Desolation 27 Blood of vol fanatic

Brings Undead Squads close to tourney level. Also helps drow and undead so good to counterdraft. Like Marro Warriors in that it helps resurrect figures more easily the more are still alive. Bonds with Death Knights too (but requires separate order marker to resurrect).
Shieldwall Soldier - Archer Support Common Hero from D&D War Drums 10 Shieldwall Soldier

Improves Roman Archers (and all other archers) and Sacred Band. I removed Berserker Charge and added disengage.
Vorgyn - Drow General from D&D Desert of Desolation 46 Drow Blademaster

Makes the all Drow easier on order management and makes the common drow awesome. Also, has a decent attack modeled after Chardris.
Wood Eladrin - Elven Unique Squad & Shocktroops from Erevan Sunshadow, Chardris, Sharwin Wildborn

If Einar Imperium a common squad w/ melee double attack sucks at 140, shouldn't these unique squad w/ ranged double attack be decent. Even at 2 attack/defense they might be too deadly as figures would have a hard time getting close to them and once they catch up once, the Fey Step can get them away one time.
Old cards based on heroscape figures:
You can also check out my very outdated Comic Customs. And also check out my Competitive Unit Alters which is like Competitive Unit Congress on crack!
So I decided to make some customs for filling in holes listed in the specific lists:
- Customs using Master Set Figures (RotV, SotM, BftU) - especially BftU
- Auggie's Games D&D Miniatures - Ones under $2 that he has more than 50 of.
- List of Holes Remaining in Unit Design
- Heroscape Factions: Thematic Unit Groupings
- Point costs where the is none or little units at that cost.
- Improve playability of underused units.
Here's what I have so far. They are playtested but not fully. Some of them also go together.
