UPDATE

Well the new TMNT movie comes out this weekend. While it is exciting to see the Turtles back on the big screen and popular again, I am not really expecting much from the movie. Coming from Micheal Bay it will have a poor plot and acting but great special effects.

Enough on that, time for Heroscape stuff! First up is a few figures I picked up to make TMNT customs with. Metalhead and Dogpound, both from the current Nick cartoon:

Metalhead is about double the size he should be but he will work just fine. I always liked him bigger anyways. Dogpound however is the perfect size. I have also seen a Fishface mini but he doesn't look that impressive so I have yet to get him. The nice thing about them is they come prepainted, but I plan on repainting them so the detail stands out.

Also, I have a few more customs that are ready for release...the Foot Clan ranks continue to swell, will Turtles find new allies in these new foes?

Next up is a figure that I purchased a while ago...the Reaper Bones Griffon. I finally got her painted. I saw this one painted by MojoBob on the Reaper forms while looking for ideas and just loved it so I copied the paint scheme.  

I think it turned out really good and I just love how it looks on the battlefield. Now I need to make a card.

The Book of Gollum

The Book of Gollum
Bangerang Tolkien Custom

The figure used for this unit is Gollum from Heroclix: Lord of the Rings Set.

Character Bio: Gollum, originally known as Sméagol, was at first a Stoor, one of the three early Hobbit-types. The name Gollum was derived from the sound of his disgusting gurgling, choking cough. His birth can be estimated to have happened in the year TA 2430. His death date is given as March 25, 3019. His life was extended far beyond its natural limits by the effects of possessing the One Ring. At the time of his death, Sméagol was about 589 years old, a remarkable age for a creature that was once a Hobbit, but he had been deformed and twisted in both body and mind by the corruption of the Ring. His chief desire was to possess the Ring that had enslaved him, and he pursued it for many years after Bilbo Baggins found it while walking in the Misty Mountains in the book The Hobbit.

SERVE THE MASTER OF THE PRECIOUS
After revealing an Order Marker on this card, you must roll the 20-sided die. If you roll a 1, choose an opponent that now controls Gollum. Remove any Order Markers on this Army Card, then give the card to that opponent. If you roll a 2 or higher you may take a turn with any Ring Bearer you control who is holding The One Ring. Subtract 1 from your die roll for each Corruption Marker on the chosen Ring Bearer’s Army Card. 

THE PRECIOUS IS MINE! 
When attacking a figure who is holding The One Ring, Gollum rolls 2 additional attack dice. 

LURK IN SHADOWS 
If Gollum is on a shadow space, opponents’ figures must be adjacent to attack him with a normal attack.
