Heh, that's A sky surfer, one surfer, the lone surfer, solo surfer, una-surfer.

Show me two and I might be impressed!

[Grant Goggans]

Holy wow!

What size are these things?  Are they Heroclix-compatible?

--Grant

[paulvonscott]

28-30mm scale figures, so yeah would look okay next to heroclix I guess.  They won't have a dial on em mind!

[Grant Goggans]

Wow, that's perfect!

Customizing a Heroclix dial's easy, just pop a useless extra off its base.  There's a site where you can upload stats and create your own stat-dial.  I've been meaning to do that to make some of these not-very-well-designed 2000 AD Heroclix more playable, actually.

Of course, since most of these seem to just be generic punks and perps, they won't need special dials, just plop off a Marvel thug and glue a Mongoose thug on the base instead.

Sounds interesting GM, I'm hoping to bid on e-bay for the last heroclic stuff I need over the next few days.  So, as a summing up, is 2000AD heroclix any good?

[Devons Daddy]

i have a full set of 2000ad heroclix.

they look lovely. i bought a show case for them. got it from a japanese toy shop.as for actaull standards of play. i dont know. i only play with my son and then only with my 2000ad spares.
they just look so damn good.
i had to have a full set.

I'm hoping to get some Heroclix for christmas, but I know that what ever I get MiniBolt will still use his Nightcrawler and whup my ass big time!

The only Character I've got that can do it any real damage is the Jack Knight Starman.

Look more like a 2nd City Blues board to me... Mega-City powerboards are much chunkier.

Hi there,
Been really busy the past few months with work so I haven't been able to post that often, but here are a few images of my own skysurfer. Painted as the Midnight Surfer rather than a generic surfer and complete with tape over the name and smiley face.  The full range of miniatures is excellent and Lawmaster has to be seen to be believed.

Great stuff, they look really good.

I have to say, this could re-open the age old bitter debate, what colour is Dredd's uniform.

I appreciate the considered opionion is black, but I always think the blue painted figures always look better than black or dark blue.  I used to paint my judges blue and my SJS black.

Cheers ;)

[Tordelbach]

Rrrright, I'll be wanting those then.  Bollox bollox bollox.  Do you people not realise I have a bloody mortgage?!?

[chopper666]

I have to agree about the uniform colour, but like Supermans hair its something that we will have to just live with.  Most of my judges are painted with a black body suit and the senior judges for the game have the midnight blue, basically to denote the fact they are of a higher rank when people play the game at demonstrations.

Same can be said about the shoulder pad/eagle. Is it yellow as in the comics, or golden as in the movie and on the Harrop statues?
