The Arrow (Coming Soon)

The Arrow takes skills learned in military intelligence and matches those with her incredible archery prowess to bring justice to Empire City.

Last week we took a look into The Arrow's history and this week you get to see the upcoming mini!

The Arrow is now a stalwart member of The Protectorate an in games she will offer ranged attacks as well as Talents providing team support.


The Arrow will be part of the Supers Unlimited launch range in early 2019.

The Arrow (Season 1)

The Arrow is The Protectorate's field leader, taking tactical command on operations.

Rhea Payne grew up in Texas, learning hunting skills from an early age. Her talent with bows soon led Rhea into competition archery, eventually representing her country at international level. After achieving global success, she decided to join the military while maintaining her sport. On discharge Rhea was swiftly recruited into US intelligence, and had to give up publicly competing in her favorite sport.

After several years operating in postings at home and abroad, Rhea became disillusioned with her role, seeing no improvement in the endless war against crime and espionage as she had to make compromise after compromise. The rise in super-crime finally caused her to make a decision that had been a long time coming.

Resigning from her intelligence job, Rhea moved to Empire City, drawn by a desire to make a difference in the city that was singularly besieged by super-crime. Donning a mask and deciding to use her archery skills to fight for justice, Rhea adopted the crime-fighting identity of The Arrow. Attracting the attention of The Eye, she was soon recruited into the latest incarnation of The Protectorate.

The Cowl (Coming Soon)

The Cowl is a legacy hero, bearing the mystical mantle that gives her code-name, and is the latest in a line of shadowy heroes who have used that power in the pursuit of justice.

The history and experience of each preceding Cowl imprints on the mystical hood, offering guidance to the next wearer until their time finally comes to an end. The current Cowl focuses on street-level super-crime in Louisiana's Rivière Noire, while also serving as  member of the Covenant of Justice. Averse to taking lives unless there is no other option, she primarily relies on special less-than-lethal ammunition for her trusty guns.

The Cowl will form part of the Supers Unlimited launch range in early 2019.

Doc Cosmos (Season 1)

Rounding  out the first four Season 1 Heroes, and the character who started this project. Doc Cosmos regularly lights up the night skies across San Gabriel with his flashy cosmic energy powers, establishing himself as one of his country’s most prominent heroes in the media and the public consciousness.

However, few know the truth about his powers and how he acquired them. David Cross was a rock star in the astronomy world. Aged 26 he had more planetary discoveries to his name than anyone else, and had formulated his first emerging theories of cosmic flux particles. He was on the cover of popular science journals and crossed over to the mainstream.

Working late one night at the San Gabriel observatory, the sky was suddenly filled with fluctuating ribbons of light. The light pulsed and shined downwards, bathing the city in intense colourful light, and centred on the observatory. Inside, David’s instruments went wild, and his prototype cosmic flux particle detector overloaded.

Then, a bolt of energy raced through the building towards David, veering around objects as it moved. In the moment before it hit, David was sure he saw the face of his father in the light, a man who had been missing for twenty years. David was sure his father mouthed the word ‘son’ before the light washed over him and he blacked out. Hours later he awoke, imbued with energy and questions, and so the media-savvy hero Doc Cosmos was born.

Soldier Hex Sneak peak

Following on from the art preview last week (click for link), here is a sneak peak of the Soldier Hex green!

Also, don't forget the Kitbash Games contest post here (click for link)!

Soldier Hex (Season 1)

Soldier Hex is another of our Season 1 Heroes. A smart ex-special ops who has mastered some of the mystic arts during his travels.

When he finally left the military after a distinguished career, Simon Hendrix was at a loss as what to do next. A lifetime of soldiery had made him the best of the best, but time had finally caught up with him. He mused that he would go back to Empire City and maybe settle down some roots at last. Fate had other plans.

Returning to his old neighbourhood, Simon found a much-changed place. He walked the streets until the day grew late and twilight set in. Passing what he took to be a dusty old bookshop, its sign 'Grimalkin's'. He heard a commotion inside and breaking glass. Guessing there would be some kind of bell on the door, he stepped inside, hoping to be taken for just another passing customer. What he saw stunned him. Two men with vivid red skin and horns atop their heads, dressed in biker denim and leathers emblazoned with Road Demonz patches. A woman stood before them, with some kind of coruscating energy spilling from her hands and acting as a barrier to the advancing men. Simon launched a spinning roundhouse kick to the head of one, turned, slammed an elbow into his throat and following with a strike to the face. The thug dropped a knife with a smoking blade under the crush of blows. Simon grabbed it and swept it into the body of the other biker as he stumbled away from the weird energy the woman was unleashing. A long, twisted sharpened iron bar flew into his hand, and in that moment Simon knew what he had to do. He plunged it into the chest of the first down biker, then the second, each turning to dust as he did so.

Simon entered a new world that day, and Lydia Grimalkin became his guide. Simon travelled the world, visiting dark places, learning great and ancient secrets, and unlocking the magic that lay within him. In time his journey brought him to the Covenant of Justice, and he became Soldier Hex.

Stay tuned in the days ahead for a sneak peak at the Soldier Hex green, and don't forget the blog contest here (click for link).

The Cowl (sneak peak)

So the whole point of this endeavour is to make minis, and with Doc Cosmos we made a start. Well now there are four sculpts ready in the Kitbash Supers Unlimited line-up (wait, what about numbers two and three you ask? You'll have to wait for the answer about those a little longer....).

So without further ado, a peak behind the curtain at our first 3-D print - The Cowl!

Ace (Season 1)

Ace is next in line for our Season 1 previews - a happy-go-lucky hero who fights alongside The Cowl as a member of the Covenant of Justice.

Journalist by day, costumed vigilante by night, Ace is having the time of his life as a masked hero – but will his luck finally run out?

The man who calls himself Ace started his newspaper career with the crime beat. Dan Fortune's job  included covering the latest super battles in Metro City, his editor constantly telling him that "supers sell papers!". One night he got too close to a story, chasing a long-shot lead which brought him to the old abandoned Ace Toys factory where captured Unhumans were being held. He thought it a good omen as his childhood nickname had been 'Ace'. Dan watched as one by one, containment cocoons were loaded into a truck. Thinking quickly he raced to a nearby pay-phone, miraculously in working order, and tipped off the police. Then he ran back to his nearby car, donned gloves, grabbing an old black t-shirt, quickly tearing a strip from it to fashion a crude mask. Sneaking back to the factory, Dan managed to creep up on the driver's side of the truck as the last cocoon was loaded. With the element of surprise he managed to grapple the driver from his cab, and leapt into his now-vacant seat. Dan gunned the engine and fled. The kidnappers gave chase in a couple of SUVs, but Dan's luck held as he swerved in an out of traffic when he hit busy city streets, with one pursuer then the other crashing into oncoming vehicles. As soon as police cars joined the breakneck convoy, Dan skidded the truck to a halt, and fled into the night, confident the victims in the truck would be safe. Dan was exhilarated. That night he managed to make the final deadline in the nick of time, the Daily Metro getting the scoop of the year when it announced the city's latest heroic masked crusader - Ace.

The Cowl (Season 1)

As a preview of the characters who will be included in the Supers Unlimited Season 1 launch planned for late 2018, this week we focus on The Cowl.

The Cowl is a shadowy loner except when called in to action by the Covenant of Justice. She is a Hero with a strong sense of justice who bears the weight of legacy - she is not the first Cowl, nor does she think she will be the last.

Each successive Cowl wears a hood imprinted with the experiences of every bearer who went before them, and which only serves the just. Armed with twin pistols, The Cowl focuses on street-level super-crime in Louisiana's Rivière Noire. Averse to taking lives, she primarily relies on special less-than-lethal ammunition for her trusty guns. The Cowl brings stealth, detective work and infiltration skills to Covenant of Justice missions.
