Super System Victorian Superheroes- Britannia, Albion, NightHag + Werewolf added

[Pappa Midnight]

I've had Super System for years and haven't really done much with it. Having painted some VSF style Supers I decided to by the 3rd edition rules and stat them up.
I have blatantly stolen "borrowed" the basic character-card template from Melnibonean and have put these together:


He's a reasonably handy "brawler" type with a few tweaks. The "flare" ability is his flaming breath and the "force field" represents his uncanny ability to get out of harm's way.


I was going to have him with the "alternate form" ability but decided to have him permanently transformed.


Basically a Victorian "Rhino" with a really foul temper!

I'm currently sourcing a mini for "Professor Cephalopod"..........

It's good to see a couple of your "classics" again.
I love the new Razorhorn as well.
The cards look great!

Looks great. I've been wanting to put together some cards for my figures too...just a matter of time. Keep us up to date with your project!

The cards look great, and the games should be brilliant with your amazing Victorian terrain.

[Melnibonean]

Very nice on the cards with some nice effects on the text elements.

Big physical attack and damage on Mr Hyde. Not the type of character you'd like to meet in a dark alley.

Thanks for the comments.
I was checking the "build costs" of the character builder at the SuperSystem annex ( I used the on-line character builder) against the rulebook and realised that some of the points were out. I've re-jigged Razorhorn so his melee bonus only counts whilst charging and beefed up his resolve, movement and vitality. The stat card has been updated.

I'm in the process of finishing my next Character, the "Grey Lady" a vengeful ghost who protects the poor and needy. I will post a pic soon.

Good stuff here. I'm smelted to bring out my rules and take another look.

Have you thought of this fella for your Professor Cephalopod?

Thanks Smokezombie i have seen that one and he's definitely in the running ( not sure if you can buy him on his own or part of a set..).It was that one or I was thinking of getting a heroclix Doc Octopus and converting it.

I got him through eBay on his own ( in separate blister ) so you should be ok. He also looks remarkably similar to this guy from Reaper

I have the two...lovely minis 

[Pappa Midnight]

Smokezombie: Hmmm... Same guy with or without exo-suit....thanks for the heads up!!!

Next up is the "Grey Lady", my supernatural crime-fighter.



Not overly powerful in a straight fight but she's difficult to hurt and can frighten the Dickens out of her enemies!!!

those are sharp. I love the cards

[leonmallett]

Liking the Greay Lady; great project unfolding here.

[Pappa Midnight]

I'm working through some existing minis from my VSF collection before I start converting/painting new ones.
Here's Professor Niles in two different formats:





He's my Victorian "Tony Stark" with the "Hyde Buster" being a nod to the Ironman "Hulk-buster" armour.

I've decided to scratch-build my Victorian Doc Ock and have renamed him Doctor Cephalopod ( instead of Professor). I've got a suitable donor mini and have ordered some bits to convert him with.
I will keep you posted on the progress.

Very cool indeed! The Fighting Trousers is very inspired - well done
