It's primarally the system, not the setting that most apeals to me.  The Supersystem is a simple, and very cusomizable game.  I've used it for very diverse games such as Fantasy Battles and X-Com style skirmishes.  It along with Chaos in Cairo are the two games I use for Pulp and Weird World War II games.

I'm not hugely fussed by the genre, but I have lots of models.

I'm up for any kind of skirmish game, I wouldn't complain if the wrong guys were fighting each other as I would be none the wiser!  ;D

I recently re-painted and converted a Heroclix Catman.

Here's the original:



And here's my conversion:








Turned out very nice!

Very nicely done. Has a super-merc feel now (a la Solo from Marvel).

really like the way your repaint and the simple cloak removal give the model a whole, more 'serious' feel, very 'dark knighty'

Would you lot say it was 'wrong' to repaint a promo fig or a limited edition one?
I have seen some rather nice ones in my time...  :D

nope, i've got hold of many of the promos and very rare LE's etc purely to take them off their bases and repaint for supersystem,

although it's drawn gasps and outrage from some of the collectors i know :)

collectors shouldn't really moan- every LE we chop up just increases the scarcity of the others, and thus their value.  ;D

There's a fella at Tate Modern who's taking any, ANY, failed artworks and putting them in a chipper. So even if someone owns a Rembrant, that Rembrandt wasn't happy with, it can go in the chipper.

I think it's mad.
