Thread: Alt Avatar Contest: Balphagore!
Angry Mutant Italian Chef-agore.
Fat chef with white apron and the white chef hat, he carries a massive pot of spaghetti and meatballs.
1st skill, he tips his big pot and pours steaming tomato sauce (of mutant evil)
2nd skill, a strand of magical mutant spaghetti (of mutant evil) shoots out and silences the enemy
3rd skill, giant mutant meatballs jump from his pot and become his minions (of mutant evil)
4th skill, he throws tosses his pot in the air and spills all the magical tomato sauce he collected from stupid casters
also, needs to have big curly mustache. not enough heroes with mustaches. (essential)
That's my submission, thanks!
How about making balphagore as willy wonka and his minions are oompa loompa :>
this one is my favorite until now.Originally Posted by xUrinalx
heres my new balphagore suggestion: http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/sh...-Zombie-Dragon
its a tortured/zombie-like dragon:
I apologize that i'm not artistically gifted, so i'll try to convey my thoughts as best as possible through words.
Mechanical and glowing green is the theme for the alt avatar. Think of it as a nuclear reactor come to life. The stomach area would be a nuclear reactor core with a door broken open or some kind of exposure. The head would have a radioactive symbol on it, and maybe one of the big nuclear exhaust towers as a crown that lets out green gas. The face has green glowing angry eyes, with thin, interlaced long and sharp teeth. maybe a pulsing glow effect from inside of the mouth too. Hands and arms are twisted metal scraps that also glow green from underneath. Instead of the axe and sword his original has, maybe two green glowing maces, or one mace and one glowing green hand/claw. His back would have more smoke stacks coming out of it letting out green gas. Legs would look like the arms, scrap metal glowing from within.
Toxic Spray would look similar to the original effect, but would be a little more slimy, and obviously green. Any target inside the spray cone might have a visual debuff like they when they're snotted by Armadon.
Choking Mist would be a green cloud that is cast on the target, looking similar to monarch's poison cloud but much smaller. When activated to spread the silence, the cloud rushes out in all directions, and those that would be affected then have the cloud on them.
Mutated Minions would be little people like humans that have suffered heavy radiation poisoning. I also think it would be a good idea to have 5 or 6 slightly different models for the minions, and to have each model just spawn randomly. At any rate, they could be people with missing arms or hopping on one leg. Think nuclear human zombie.
Meltdown would look pretty much like a nuclear bomb with a mushroom cloud effect. Different shades of green, glowing at the center. It's not that hard to picture.
As far as animations and ambient effects, making the reactor in the stomach/chest area blink faster and faster as his ult gains stacks could be an idea. Shutting off the blink while his ult is on cooldown is also an idea.
Ability 1 name change to Toxic Spray
Ability 2 name changed to Choking Mist
Ability 3 name changed to Mutated Minions
Ult ability name changed to Meltdown
I would love to see him with ice skin.
First skill blows cold air in front of him.
Second skill summons ice minions.
Third: mind freeze.
Ultimate: Absolute zero.
And please. Whatever skin you choose, don't make it fat. Nobody likes playing with fat heroes (except for devo).

I just realized...The contest will end on May 18, my birthday...
My goal is for at least one of my heroes to be ported into HoN! Help my cause and get S2 to see these!
Check out "IsmaelVera's Vault of Heroes" in the Hero Drafts section!

I see a fantastic idea right here. Way better than that seraphim nonsense.I think Balphagore should have a demon lord Moloch skin.
In that case, i hope its inspired by these pics.
(Im not the owner of this art)
He could be like half a torso, lifting and dragging himself forward with his arms
A reason that makes me think this skin fits, is that the demon Moloch was worshipped by human sacrifices to satisfy his burning hunger.
Also i would like to add that one of the things i like most with Balph, is hearing him say "Why the hell not?" and his ult when he screams "Hell on Newerth!".
I think you should keep his somewhat brutal element if you make this skin for him, though maybe add a more deep voice. His size should be about Chutuluphant's.
That would really be awesome!
I think all the skills that Balph already got works perfect for this guy, though maybe you could change the minion models, like make them alittle bit more demonic or somthing, just for the funz (:
What about
"The Death"
Just big shadowy figure in cape (face wont be seen) with big scythe .
1. The earth would be cracking up in front of him (like if the Hell was opening) or some kind of gray fog would appear in front of him in which will be corpses.
2. Spell would be the same (or some kind of chains? )
3. Minions would be skelletal hounds or just little skelletal minions(without weapons)
4. Grey fog with greenish tint would be releast around him(maybe some screaming faces in it?...u know like in the movie Mummy--- faces in sand and wather)
Sounds
Rough shady voice
1. He would whisper riiiiiiiise ....
2. hmm i guess just some noise...rattle of chains or something
3. nothing
4. He would shout DEATH AWAITS or just a Freaky laugh
Hope you'll like the idea
Rotten Balphagore
( my art )
The influence of Hellbourne has even reached the Great Waste. Even the putrefied corpses rise again from their dusty graves. Led by a primal hunger, Rotten Balphagore spreads destruction among Legion's units.
Movements: Crowl, helped by arms , leaving a bloody trail behind him.
Voice: Similiar to Sand Wraith's one, but more throaty.
Command responses:
" Hungeeer! "
" Neeeed fresh meat. "
" Come to meee "
" I eat my prey... alive! "
" Let me "EAT" them. [Laugh] " ( Rampage's parody )
" My minions are hungry! "
" Bloody and slowly. "
Flavour responses:
" One creep a day keeps the doctor away! "
" I can smell your feaaar! [ Laugh ] "
" Feed me, or you'll be the next. "
" Relax, it will be slow... and painfull! "
" Eat iiit, eat it, eat iiiit, eat it nanana... " ( Michael Jackson's "beat it" parody )
Taunt responses:
" Oooh you look tasty! "
" This will take a week... aaargh. "
Restriction responses:
" I've to eat some mages! "
" I'm not prepared ! "
Obviously if you ( S2 games ) have better ideas about minions look, colours and phrases, you can change it whenever you want. Hope you'll enjoy this !

I dont really want to see a "demon" version of it.
Some good idea are British Teapot, and Beach Balphagore.
I would totally buy coins for those skins.
Enough with the alt skins that doesn't change much from the original.
My idea as the title sugguests is an EvilGenius Balphagore, he will look like a little evil genius type of guy riding a big robot.
he´s abilities are as follows:
--------------------------
Q - EG balph opens he's belly door that is shaped like a circle and open's like an automatic door
and "fires" huge amount of energy with pieces of the minion's he can create.
W - The little evil genius takes out a laser gun he have and shoots a laser beam at a target.
E - EG balph takes up corpses he walks on and he's belly glows with a little bit of energy everytime
he "eats" a corpse. he can then create minions who look like half robots half creeps (since he used
the flesh of the corpses bodies with the robotic parts he have inside him.
R - He's Ultimate is quite the same just the minions look different and the explosion
happens like this: EG Balph hands and belly glow with energy and shoots it around him like the
normal ult only in a Blue color (all of he's energy appears blue).
all sort of Misc i thought of:
--------------------------
the little evil genius (he has a high pitched voice [ like all evil geniuses ]:
* Muhahahaha..
* Newerth will be mine!
* There you are my precious minions
* Attack.. Attack!!
* Nothing can defeat my brilliant mind
* Fools, they/you have no chance
* Nothing can stop us now!
in he's taunt he plays with he's fingers and the robot does the same.. like a plotting move while having a little grin.
Hope you guys like it ^^

OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONLook: Hades balpha is the god of the dead from the greek mithology (his apearence resemble this image i found through google all rights for the image are of "Genzoman" from deviant art Link: http://genzoman.deviantart.com/art/Hades-146782678 ) while instead of the scythe (too many heroes got scythe already) he has a staff with half a skull on a dark blue orb which turns glowing green while using skills and auto attacking.
Hades Balphagore
in addition Hades Balphagore Auto attack Visual is as the following: Hades staff (only the top half) glows in green and from the staff a soul comes out (apears like a semi transperentman weak man glowing in green while only the top half of his body comes out of the staff.)
while hades is not moving for a while a few ghosts come out from his staff fly around him and return to the staff.
Sound: Hades sound is like the sound of a death god, very powerful and dark(if u get what i mean) his command responses are related to the greek mithology and his "job" as a death god, for example:
-"I shall take you below"
-"The Olympus is Mine!"
-"Your Soul will join the others"
-"Death Will Overcome"
-"No One can stop the Dead"
-"MUHAHAHAHAHA"
-"Observe the power of Tartarus"(Tartarus is the deepest part of hell in greek mithology)
-"The living shall return to their rightfull place"
-"Zeus will Fall"
-"Power...Power...POWER!!!"
-"Your time has come"
-"Hell Awaits..."
-"Odin is nothing compare to me"
-"Death Strenghten me"
etc...
Abilities:
Regurgitate -> Souls Release
- Visual: Hades streaches his free hand (the one without the staff) and souls(look like ghosts glows in green as in the disney movie "Hercules") goes out from his hand apears like trying to grab the target area (as in the movie "Hercules" when he is in the death pool or something like that)
- Sound:The sound the ability makes is like a cry of many souls which talk and scream silently
Demonic Pathogen -> Soul Capture
- Visual: Hades points his staff and a hand glows in green shoots threw out the head of the staff to the target envelope the target in green and cause the effect, 2nd activasion shoots many hands from the 1st target to the others in the area and looks the same as the skill.
- Sound: Once the skill is activated Hades sais "Your souls belong in Tartarus"
Corpse Conversion -> Tartarus(like hell but in greek mithology) Passage
- Visual: 1st. Hades staff is glowing green once near a corpse then the corpse is sucked into the staff while glowin in green minimizes and disapear into the staff. 2nd. when realeases the "minions" instead of balph regular minions there comes out Souls (Green glowing ghosts) from the ground after his a short effect where his whole staff is glowing in green, the ghosts looks kinda like weak old man and woman that do not have but instead have ghost like tail from their waist, the ghosts/souls are semi transperent and glow in green
- Sound: "The dead will rise again"
Hell on Newerth -> The Fall of Olympus
- Visual: Hades take his staff and after lifting it stucking it hard in the ground which after a circle of souls/green energy comes out of that point.
- Sound: "Witness The Power of the Underworld....Muhahahaha"
This is my idea for balphagore cant wait to play this avatar, Thanks

Although i think my avatar for balph is unique and awesome i find this avatar (Hades Balph) to be the best avatar for him i saw so far.. imo it suits the game perfectly and it just looks and sounds amazing.. gj bro!! ^^
Why would Hades want Olympus or Zeus to fall? Hades is not evil despite several hollywood movies depicting him like that. Hades is actually one of nicest gods in greek mythology, he helps Perseus and Orpheus and never does anything mean besides kidnapping his eventual wife Persephone, an act that wasn't seen as evil by greek moral standarts but actually as an act of love.
I would recommend to cut those lines to get away from the evil god of death cliché but that's just my opinion because I'm sick of it.
Awesome artwork right there; maybe make the woman a little less graphic... give her some clothes or just rags; if this skin is released the way it is; HoN might a well be 18+ :P Anyways besides that lovethe idea especially the monster behind her... so gory D: Defenitely fits the hellbourne perfectlyPontifex Mortis
(Not my image)
Pontifex Mortis is a female necromancer who has permanently attached herself to a vile creation of dead and rotting corpses which she can and does resurrect to do her bidding. (This imagery keeps her in line with the original concept of Balpagore.)
- Back-story: Her past is one of horrific pain and hate for all the living as her mother was falsely accused, by the Legion, of being a Necromancer and was publicly humiliated then burned at the stake. Soon her father out of insanity tried hiring a Necromancer to resurrect her mother who when she came was nothing but a shadow of a once beautiful woman. In confusion and rage by the site of his deformed wife he took an ax and killed her mother and himself. The old hag of a Necromancer who had completed the summoning took the young girl in and began to teach her the dark arts of the Deamon world. Years later out of vengeful spite she slew her master and placed the corpse and the corpses of her father and mother at the top of her newest and most powerful creation Pontifex Mortis.
- Imagery: As the picture above shows she is a beautiful woman (Maybe young girl?) attached to an abomination of mutilated corpses used to form a multi armed creature (Two arms, one on left and second on right with a third arm coming out of the back to pick up corpses) who strikes out for the woman attached. Its legs would be more like Soul reapers four prong crab legs but made from flesh. Overall the visual feel should remind you of Balphagore just a female version. Obviously the image above could not be used as it is not mine but gives you the essence with a few key changes (legs, head, two arms, smaller to fit the scale of HoN more like a outer covering of her back just big enough that her feet are off the ground and heads are just above her own. I'm sure some HoN artist could do a good job.)
- Animations:
- Voices: Her voice should be young, not child like, but late teens. Should sound sweet but psychotic with a tinge of painful regret.
- Demonic Pathogen - She shouts "Let my miseries silence you"
- Corpse Conversion - When she picks up a corpse "A new member of the family"
- When she Summons, "Let the Kids go out to play"
- Hell on Newerth - She screams in agonizing joy as she says "All will know my PAIN!"
- Regular Attacks - "Sweet Pain", "Your going to feel this", "Feel my mothers hand"
- When Attacked - "That was nothing", "You call that pain", "Ahhh (Cry of pain)"
- Death - "I don't stay dead", "The dead don't stay dead"
- Taunt - "I'm having a family reunion, want to join?", "I like you body, can I have it?"
- Name Changes:
-
Regurgitatechanged to Bitterness- Demonic Pathogen changed to Past Memories.
- Corpse Conversion changed to Family Gathering
- Hell on Newerth changed to Pontifex Letum
This is a rough draft and I would love feedback. If I need to remove the picture for sake of copyright or whatever just let me know. As for the voices I'm not sold on what I have down, but I think the entire concept is a good start for an appealing female Balphagore who doesn't loose the current feel of a terrible lump of death.
Pengugore!
He is a zombie penguin soldier with a sword with green gas coming out of it (kinda like dev)(but does no damage). short and chubby but kinda cute.
1st skill- vomits snow instead with poisonous gas coming out of it.
2nd skill-throws a snowball at target to apply demonic pathogen
3rd skill- snow man minions grow out of the ground
Ultimate- Pengugore jumps and when he lands and stomps, huge snowballs will fly around him
what he might say:
-Feast on my snowballs!
-my plans are deadly cold
etc ;D
This is actually the best ideaRotten Balphagore

Frankengore
Frankenstein balphagore. His minions can be small frankensteins with parts from the creeps. His ult could be an electric field coming out from the bolts in his head (and screaming ITS ALIVE)
Wouldnt you love to see Frankenstein move at 522 ms?
MOTHERSHIP BALPHAGORE!
the mothership balphagore would be a spaceship (duh) but i don't think it has to be a UFO or anything but it would deffinatly have to be off the ground since balph is a melee hero the motership has a heavily armored front allwoing it to ram other heoroes
regurgitate: the cone shape would be the same only it would be blue and electric with crackling sounds it would still leave corpses because the mothership just vaporized it's enemies
demonic pathogen: a gun pops out the ship and fires its deadly lazer at the enemy when it does this it makes a pew or bzz or a zap sound the effect would look alike only blue
corpse conversion: when the mothership hovers over a corpse a quick flash of blue goes of as it activates its tractor beam.: the minions that you spawn look like steriotypical huge head bug eyed aliens with space-suits (without helmets) with electric spears
Hell on Newerth: the mother ship glasses newerth with its extreamly deadly space aged nukes.: when your ult goes off a huge mushroom cloud goes into the air and the firery shockwave engulfs your enemies.: the minions that are spawned are irradiated mutants that look melted with multiple limps squirting and oozing puss everywhere

cthulu is alreay in honHarbinger Balphagore
Summary:
Harbinger Balphagore is inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos, he is a powerful minion of Cthulhu who's job is to make sure Newerth is ready for the arrival of his master. The tentacled monstrosity has a second mouth on his belly where he stores corpses ready to be used for the his grim rituals. This alt avatar keeps the concept of the original Balphagore but sports the looks of a minion of Cthulhu, which definitely isn't less terrifying than the loveable hulking daemon the original balphagore is. Detailed description of my entry's concept is to be found below...
Back story:
No one really knows where the Harbinger came from, but the rumours say that the nightmarish creature emerged from the deepest, darkest part of the ocean, a place where only beings of pure malicious evil survive. It is clear that the Harbinger is preparing for the arrival of someone, or something, that goes by the name of Cthulhu. The Harbinger paves his master's path on Newerth with chaos and destruction, performing ancient rituals and calling forth nightmarish minions from the blackest part of the ocean's heart to aid him in spreading the havoc.
Appearance:
His body build is similar to the original Balphagore's, but with a scaled fish green skin. His feet are slimy and webbed, similar to a frog's. His belly is oversized just like the original Balphagore's, but it has a gaping mouth full of razor sharp teeth at the center. His head is a little flat and has a row of tentacles dangling over his chest, almost like a beard. His head is reminiscent of Cthulhu's, an example is to be found here: (image isn't mine) https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-B...u_detail_2.jpg His hands are clawed and outstretched, also similar to Cthulhu's in the image I linked. He doesn't have wings as he isn't Cthulhu himself, but merely a powerful minion of his.
Animations:
Regurgigate - Spews digestive juices from his second mouth (the mouth on his belly).
Demonic Pathogen - Shouldn't be too different, maybe switch it's colour to light blue. Here the Harbinger inflicts a contagious curse on his enemies that takes away their sanity for a short period of time.
Corpse Conversion - The Harbinger stores corpses inside his belly, and then performs unholy rituals fueled by the lingering souls of the dead corpses to summon lesser minions from the deep. The minions look something like this: http://www.elfwood.com/art/m/i/mindsiphon/deepone.jpg (again, the image isn't mine)
Hell on Newerth - Fueled by the power of enemy spell casts, the Harbinger temporarily summons the wrath of Cthulhu. The Harbinger in a violent explosion splashes an area with vile black water. If the spell was empowered enough by enemy spell casts, volatile minions will spawn from the corrupted water. Volatile minions are minions of a different colour which explode in a spray of black water on death.
Voice:
A deep gurgling voice, almost as if talking underwater. His quotes should be about the arrival of his master, chaos and destruction and the deep dark ocean. Examples of these are...
"The call cannot be ignored." (Referencing to the Call of Cthulhu)
"Chaos awaits."
"Make way for my master."
"I can hear your tiny hearts beating."
"Your sanity's weak..."
----------
Thanks for reading, and even though my entry probably won't be a winner, I can't say I didn't enjoy writing my entry. Hope whoever reads this enjoys the long read.
