Very cool, please add where we can find the figure for your customs as well, although this one is obviously can be found in the Star Wars CMG. JIM

Sure thing.
99% of the customs we are using at the moment are rebased Heroclix, but I'll be sure to include a note when I post future customs.

I used the blank tiles from FDG's HEXMASTER line to kitbash me some modern looking walls.

Forgive me, because I have not seen Fat Dragon's originals, but the design seems a little confusing. Why not place the walls together at the top, fold and glue them together, then only have one set of triangle tabs/score lines on the one side? Also, what are the extra blank white hexes for? They look like they are supposed to have a 3D element, but I cannot seem to guess what you are suppose to be gluing those tabs to. Not meaning to be critical, I am just confused.

jabbroI'm just guessing and reasoning on it: The brick walls are the two halves of the complete wall: left and right side. I'd take the tabbed white hexes as the bottom of the wall: the tabs should be folded towards the ground, so you will have the white hexes not touching the ground, leaving space for the "raised" part of the Heroscape terrain. Then i'd use the white, non tabbed hexes for extra rigidity on the top of the wall. So i'd glue the stoned top on the walls tabs, flip it over and glue the white hexes on the bottom of the stoned, and finally the tabbed hexes as a "lid" (a cap? what's the right word?). But i may be totally wrong.

The Brick sections get glued end to end. The White hexes, without the tab, get glued to inside top, to the triangles, to give it it's shape. The White hexes with tabs are glued to the inside bottom, giving it a lip, not flush, so it can stack on heroscape tiles. The printed hexes get glued on top, to make it look pretty

Thanks Guys. With the picture I understand. I was thinking that the walls went in between the hexes like the ones that came in the Marvel main set. Now that I see they become a 2 story hex, it makes perfect sense.

The figure is from a cheap chinese batman board game import I picked up at a Toy Works, before the chain went out of buissiness, a few years back. Heroclix has at least a dozen Batman sculpts, and I wanted to use a figure none of my friends had. The stats are a direct swap for Sgtl Drake Alexander out of the 2nd starter set. I just edited the text to mention good ole bats instead of Drake. Saves alot of time playtesting and arguing over point costs this way.

If your anything like me, you bought Heroscape, and missed the small detail that all the units in Rise of the Valkyrie are unique units. Not a problem if you only bought one set, but again if your like me, who bought six, you have alot of extra figures on your hands. To solve this problem, I want to make custom stat cards that utilize the figures in ROTV. This way, not only will I have a way to use my extra figures, but anyone else who wants to use my stat cards should have access to the figures as well. Marro are my favorite faction from Heroscape. I used to play with legions of Marro Warriors, before we figured out you weren't suppossed to., so I decided I wanted to put them back into action. I dug out and compared the stats of all the Marro Units I had. Marrden Nagrubs -30pts cheap expendable hound like models, suited for Warlord Escort duty, not what I was looking for. Marro Drudge -50pts Humanoid shooters, but dependant on Swamp Tiles, something I wanted to avoid Marro Stingers - 60pts Humanoid Shooters, with a random do more damage or die trying roll Marro Warriors - 50pts The Unique Humanoid Shooters I was getting the models from. They have excellent range, low damage, but their reall strength is they can ressurect models. I know from first hand experience that no one really wants to fight against an entire army of them resurrecting, and that 50pts is too cheap for a 4 man non-unique unit that can pile on like that. Marro Drones 50pts Melee only humanoids, with Hive Mind, alloing them to share activations with fellow Marrow Drone Units, on of my favorite abilities in the game. So then inspiration hit me. I wanted something different from the Drudge, Stingers, and Warriors, that didn't clone, or was dependant on terrain features. I really dig the Drones, but always wished they could shoot.... Marro Soldiers were born !! - Gave them some range.
- Reduced the number of models per squad from 4 to 3 to match the general Marro Squad size, and to avoid weirdness with the Hive Mind power, which is based on multiples of 3.
- Their shooting damage is comperable to Stingers, when not boosted, and Drudges when boosted and their range is the same.
- Guestimated Unit cost of 70pts.
They cost more than any of the units they were based on. Have none of the unique special defenses, less range, and model less, than the Marro Warriors they were conscripted from. They do have the potential to activate more often, which is thier key strength. If you get any use out of these fellas, I would appreciate feedback.

I used the blank tiles from FDG's HEXMASTER line to kitbash me some modern looking walls. Sorry for the question, but I'm away from my printer at the moment so I can't print and measure it myself. What do your hexagon roof/top tiles measure from flat to flat? I was thinking about picking up some Heroscape/Hex Master terrain, but I wasn't sure on the scale and sizes. I've seen it listed as 1.5', 1.75" and 2" from flat to flat. I guess what I'm really asking is: What size are the Heroscape hexagons if I wanted to print out a hex grid for them to fit on?

The Heroscape hexes measure 2 inches exact, but POINT to POINT!
I have some 6 inch hex interlocking tiles, with the heroscape hex superimposed on them designed but not released. I designed them to fit together like Ebbles tiles, slot and tab. I'll post later, if I remember, I'm at work now, and off to "Taste of Chesterton" to eat all my forbidden foods. HE HE! JIM

JIM That's sweet news Jim. I remember when you talking with FDG Tom about maybe making some custom terrain before the D&D starter came out. Really looking forward to seeing what you cooked up. Good cards.... wish i have the minis to use them May i ask to edit the first post and put the cards in a 5 or 6 columns grid? It will help to keep this page in the screen I'm glad you enjoyed them.. For 99% of them there are Heroclix figures available. Some of the odd ones: Bizarnage = Repainted Venom Sentinels = Repainted Burger King Iron Man 2 toys UltraMan = Repainted Superman American Champion = Repainted Captain America Master Tang = Karate Kid Security Drones = Star Wars Droids Jester = Joker in King Outfit My Web Brouser auotatically puts them in collums for me. It's all a jumbled mess of code. When I left a space between them it put hem all into a single column

I didn't know the Hex size off hand, but a ruler and some Hexmaster Terrain yielded the following results
HEX SIZE 1" per side 1.75" side to side 2" point to point

I think I actually used the second set, and I may have just edited the walls to make my own blanks. Lost all my heroscape related files in a computer crash, which is pretty much why I stopped working on them.

It's good to be back.
I have to admit, losing all my files took the wind out of my paper gaming sales.
Mostly lurking for now, but it's great to see what everyone esle has been up to.
