Title: Glockaroach!
Post by: Super_Gibbon on 31 January 2008, 03:55:50 AM: I painted these a little while ago and just got around to photographing them.

A huge bug guy with guns. Truly we live in the golden age of miniatures. Its a really basic paint job. Someday I'll get another one and try to get fancier.

Finally finished a henchmen group.

Now someone just needs to sculpt The Tick!

Post by: Argonor on 31 January 2008, 07:13:06 PM: I'm really tempted to get the Superfigs rules and some of those nice figs... (oh, no, not another game...)
Fortunately my bank just switched my VISA-card for a new one, and Paypal cannot verify the new one... So I'll have to stop buying things for a while, until it gets sorted out (is this good or bad :roll: ).

At least its a skirmish game! You can play with any figures as well and get into the line gradually.

But you have to get all that urban terrain as well...

That is the thing with the superheroes. We never felt right about having them duke it out along the countryside. If you have in industrial type scenery that works pretty well. But you do want a city of some type eventually.

Post by: Super_Gibbon on 01 February 2008, 01:24:54 PM: There are another two options for Superfigs terrain, the rooftop and the contruction site. The rooftop is simply a low box almost as big as the board, built, textured, and detailed to look like the top of a building. The contruction site starts a basic dirt colored board and then you can take it as far as you want, an excavated building foundation, girders going up, palettes of pipe and construction materials, a small prefab office for the engineers and bosses, and my favorite, toy contruction vehicles for tossing at foes.

A proper cityscape has been on my to do list for years though. I could never figure out how I wanted to handle the buildings.

I'm working at getting some urban terrain (Bits of Mayhem from Worldworks) up and running at the moment, for some near future zombie fun... that's not the point - just that I have already started collecting minis for 3-4 different new settings during the last 3-4 months, and the mrs. has startd getting a certain facial expression each time the mailman is delivering a parcel.....

Well, Paypal cannot verify my new VISA-card, anyway, so I guess, I'll just have to lay low on the buying side for a while... :roll:

Post by: P_Clapham on 04 February 2008, 08:33:53 AM: In a pinch I've not only used Heroclix figures in Superfigs games, but I've also used the Heroclix maps instead of 3-d terrain.

Anyone in Europe sells them? I noticed Westwind only has some left-overs...

Post by: fourcolorfigs on 06 February 2008, 09:15:40 PM: We are still working on this. Andy from OG UK is trying to work out packing issues as he does not want to handle blister packs. So when they do show up in UK they will likely be bagged and labeled, which is fine.

Sometimes blister packs are more trouble than they're worth!

Post by: Snate56 on 12 May 2008, 07:06:47 AM: Well I'm having problems with my links but check out Microtactix on RPGNow for lots of styles of paper buildings. Of particular note are the City Blocks set and the Twilight Street set.
