  • Heromachine - not only for supadudes

    As i mentioned before, i did a lot of "actionfigure"-handouts for T2k. To show how good this works - here are 2 examples from "the Roadwarrior".

    You can build almost every person with Heromachine; there are some things you maybe wont find, but most of the time i am able to find most pieces of clothing, facial expressions, equipment i need, to make a nice pic.

    I have a lot in store for T2k-Modules (like the Krakow-residents, the Vistula-Pirates, New America, diverse factional leaders, NPC-Pics for random-encounters, marauders, civilians, stragglers, merchants, and so on..); if theres any interest, i post em for your own use.

    (Yeah i know, its a comic-approach and pictures of real people are better, but to show what someone is wearing / obivious equipment - for that, i think its useable).
    Besides showing characters & NPCs i like to use Heromachine to design counters (scale em down to whatever size you need) for bloody cardboard-battles - no need of buying any miniatures...

    What do you guys think

        Cool, man. Can you add a beard to Adam Rataj (The module portrait shows him bearded.)

          It looks interesting.

            Nice, that you likeem.

            I built the figure after the illustration on page 3 from "Pirates o.t.Vistula" - where "old Adam" is guiding the characters/soldiers to the hiding-place of his ship near Nowy Huta.

            At first i was convinced - just like you - that the illustration on page 7 was supposed to show him.
            BUT when you read the text it says:
            "At the bottom of the hill was a pass, and a grizzled-looking old civilian with a shotgun who greeted our guide with a hug and a hearty "Dzien dobry, Adam!"
            (This stands right next to the illustration).

            So i am sure, that the bearded fellow is one of the "generic" crew-members, and the one on page 3 is Adam.
            But anyway i made the whole crew - so pick your own choice, Rae!

            So here you go - (from left to right)
            1. Crewman with a shotgun (OR Adam himself)
            2. Jozef Grzyech
            3. Tadeusz Roszkowski
            4. Karl Uller
            5. Walther Matusiak

            Since i didnt get there with my players yet, i prepared only some of the other NPCs (like Krol, Noz) yet.

              First, these are awesome. Second, in your US soldiers images, how did you get multiple capes to make a poncho

              Third, soldier #2 in that group looks like found a discarded bottle of USAF "Go Pills"!

                  Third, soldier #2 in that group looks like found a discarded bottle of USAF "Go Pills"!

                  About #2 the poncho:
                  i used 3 layers: 1. a "standart"-capefront, 2. an "expansion-coat" (to close the front a bit underneath the capefront) , 3. a "Back"-Cape
                  - than shift the layers with the Buttons "Move up"/down" "Make Top/Bottom".
                  (But be careful not to press "Clear all" by accident in the process!)

                  Its real easy to use. And mind the 2 colours for every item, it makes a huge difference to pick not the first (f.e.) "green" you see, or colour everything with just one tone.Like with good comics - careful coloration revalue any figure.

                  About #3 (The overly happy looking soldier):
                  yeah - he really looks like that!

                  AND you just gave me an idea for another little detail about a private accompanying my players.... Great idea (not only funny for my poor PCs, having a stressed soldier with some hidden, mind-altering-chemicals around)

                  Thanks for the input!!!

                    OT: Guess who

                    I bet you saw (hope at least - if not do it!) the movie...
                    can you guess who that is

                    Hint: another genre, but it has some "postapocalyptic feel" to it, too...
                    (Actually a character which would fit great into any T2k-scenario, i think)
