Heromachine - not only for supadudes

[Tombot]

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 there´s 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 & NPC´s 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 ?

[Tombot]

Here a few people you might know (from left to right):
1.Police Prefect General Bohusz Szyszkow (Krakow)
2. Member of a certain Autonomous Milicya near Warsaw
3. Adam Rataj (Vistula)
4. German General Helmut Korrel (Leipzig)
5. Member of the Lansja Slaskie (Margravate of Slesia)

Some more...

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

[Webstral]

It looks interesting.

Nice, that you like´em.

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 did´nt get there with my players yet, i prepared only some of the other NPC´s (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"!

Thanks for the PotV icons, Tombot! Very nice.

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 PC´s, having a stressed soldier with some hidden, mind-altering-chemicals around)

Thanks for the input!!!

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)

Would it be U.S. Marshal Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn?

[Tombot]

Yes, thats my version of the "Rooster"! Every story gets better with a dude wearing an eyepatch...
