The Joker has always been my favorite comic book villain, because of how chaotic he always was. I've seen a few good Joker customs, but after listening to the entire Dark Knight soundtrack (Again. I love Hans Zimmer...), I decided that I must make my own figure, or die trying.
Having never actually made a custom figure, I'll be scouting this site old topics for info, and maybe talking to some veteran custom creators for advice. After looking through every 'Scape character to find some suitable Joker parts, I've finally found some. (I did look through the Heroclix, but those didn't satisfy me)
I came up with this:
I'd use Red skull as the base:
The clothes seemed pretty close. I'll have to modify Red's trenchcoat so it looks more like a suit, though. Shouldn't be too hard.
And use the Sonya as his head:
I'll sculpt a knife with epoxy putty or something (I have enough lying around from other projects), and I might chop off his left arm at the elbow and straighten it with epoxy, and use Raelin, or some other unfortunate figure's left hand so it's empty.
Obviously I'll paint everything accordingly, so...
The abilities.
I'll probably have him like this:
Life 5
Move 5
Range 1
Attack 3
Defense 4
Points undecided
Human
Unique Hero
Anarchist
Tricky (Or insane, or something else. I'll work on that)
Agent of Chaos:
Instead of placing order markers, before every turn you may randomly place one Chaos marker on every army card you control. You may then take a turn with the card which has the marked Chaos marker on it. You may also take four turns this round, instead of three.
Let's put a smile on that face:
Any adjacent human figure attacked by The Joker this turn rolls two less attack dice.
Thought? Comments?
I also need a new Sonya to chop up, so if anyone has an extra one they're willing to trade or something, I'll leave you some good feeback at 'Scapers.
