Another poster (can't find the thread) inspired me to do a figure, though I think I'll do my own stats for a card as he should be a threat to armor too.

The figure is from Heroclix, btw. The gun and other stuff are scratch-built.

The best Captain Maerica I´ve seen so far! Congrats!

mine would be the other. yours is great looking, nice work!

I've got the rubbish-posed one to make up. Let us know what profile you come up with.

Going to work up stats today hopefully w/ some other players. Basically I'm a bit confused on the point-cost thing, so I want that straight. I'm giving Cap an A1 w/ a UGL. Considering SAs of Fast, Agile, Black Ops, (so not so different from the other (and only) Cap stat card on line. I like the other card-maker's 5 health and 4 armor...that seems pretty much on the money.

Another SA I was thinking of is:

Resourcefulness: add X dice to any attack that would otherwise be inherently deficient. (this anticipates as-yet unseen rules to the game.) It definitely needs fleshing out but I think the basic idea is at least there.

On a side note, I was kind of bummed because my Dust bases didn't arrive yesterday so I had to make a sculpey one...might swap it out eventually.

Looking forward to scratch-building some bots.

Someone else did a fantastic miniature here: Think I'm going to "borrow" the idea...lovin' it.

I don't like the armour 4 for Cap. means he will not be able to join any unit and he hasn't really got any armour. I think a special rule for his shield and A2 would be more fitting, maybe counting as a hard cover save from any attack?

I like the bot, but looks to retro for Dust.

Just give Cap Damage Resilience instead of higher armor.

Yea blkdymnd did this one.

while I did this one without a mask more toward the new movie with the old comic shield.

And then I like the armor 4 b/c it makes it more like he has to be on his own. But I allowed him or Nick Fury to join the Howling Commandos only.

That's the card I saw. It's pretty much the blueprint to work from for me, and thanks to the maker of it. Much appreciated for getting it on the bench. I used a comic pic from a Youtube trailer for my version which is still in the Photoshop lab.

Someone told me yesterday whilst gaming that the higher point structure is the one to go with...but that it will be changing and that we'll get new cards to buy. Hmm. Anyhow, once I decipher the SA point cost, I'll be doing a version similar to this one but not exact. Cap needs to be Cap w/o being too uber for the game, so I take the earlier point on Armor 4 possibly being over the top. Not sure yet...still need to know the game better and what options will cover the shield's presence in the game coupled w/ Cap's agility/toughness/speed, etc. He's probably best not meshing w/ a team. That would be a bit too much cheese for me. And no one will want him on the game board if he's no fun.

On my earlier proposal of the SA "Resourcefulness", it might be good just to add dice to whatever a normal attack would be, hero, squad, or otherwise, based on an average ability to threaten infantry and armor. Keep it simple and flexibly vague to accommodate future rules. There are squad examples to draw from. In a very good sense, he is a squad, and then some.

Health 5 is good.

Nice minis, btw. What drew me into this game (I resisted) was the modding potential. I come from playing alot of AAM and this is a natural progression, tho the scale is a little daunting in terms of collectibility/storage. But I'll manage.

Also, we played on 3" hexes yesterday and it was pretty cool. "Fast" translated to an extra movement. Plus, to speed up the movement which we thought a bit slow, we doubled the first one (before attack). it worked well...pretty much the same game on a larger map surface. My 3rd game, actually, and first time playing the Germans.

Alright, lets see some RedSkulls already!

The upcoming HeroClix Captain America set looks to have a good Red Skull pose for modding.

Sweet looking figure! Especially up close and personal You're not kidding about the scratch built stuff. The base is even scratch built.
