Blink Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 I've thought of using Cardboard Heroes Contemporary minis but my order from a year ago still hasn't come in. Can anyone tell me what they use for miniatures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Most commonly... Heroclix Superfigs Though there are a few other "futuristic" miniature sets that lend well to the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monolith Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 For villains I use cardboard minis which I make myself from colored pictures. For heroes we use various pieces we have had for years that just about cover every superhero fig ever produced. One of my players has started fooling around with painting and resculpturing Heroclix, and he is getting pretty good at it, so we might be using those soon too.

Mayday Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 I use standard D&D and Warhammer figs and modify them with an Exacto Knife as necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmenace Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Heroclix mostly with some supplementation with Superfigs and others. At the price I can't really offer any better suggestion unless you can draw your own. Sorry to hear about your order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Desmarais Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Reaper Miniatures has just started a line of superhero minis based on a licence of Silver Age Sentinels. Sandra L. Garrity (for those familiar) is the lead sculpter for the line. What Reaper was showing off at GAMA looked pretty good - they aren't 25mm but they're close. Reaper calls them 30mm - which makes them a little bit smaller then HeroClix, but larger then most of the "old" superhero minis (such as teh old Grenadier DC Heroes figs).

Koshka Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 A friend of mine is experimenting with printing out Hero Machine pictures on shrinky-dink plastic, coloring them and baking them down to scale. They glue nicely into the plastic bases with the slots in them that some miniature companies use. (No, I don't know just what size he has to print at to get 25mm results. I think he got the idea off a Hero Machine e-list somewhere.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
