Heroscape is back! - Age of Annihilation

[BBShockwave]

Or so it seems, HasbroPulse just dropped a trailer that briefly shows some nice looking minis.

Cool new logo and I expect we will learn more at Gencon!

Well, that's pretty cool!

[SkyDomer]

This is awesome super excited for this. Heroscape was the start of my mini collecting since I got that game before I knew about the D&D minis. When I first started playing D&D after being invited to try it out my friend’s family didn’t have minis. So I brought my heroscape minis unknowing that my D&D mini addiction was about to start.

[Imbalance]

Interested. It's more promising news than my own pipe dream where the best chance 'Scape had to come back was as an add-on to HeroQuest...QuestScape? I dunno, bad idea. This is better.

[Mattnuke]

Well that’s unexpected……

[Gopesh1]

Never played.

But looks 10x more interesting than the D&d miniature thing they are making. I love me big box sets, nifty hex terrain, and expansion stuff.

Ah, the days of going into Toys'R Us weekly waiting for them to stock their exclusive Heroscape Stuff.

Fun times.

Don't be surprised in the least to see Wal-Mart AND Target exclusives if they go at it the way they did last time.

GREAT minis though. Need to be re-based as they are 1.5 inch, but that's always doable.


NOTE - Those are LED lit heroscape tiles...................

[BBShockwave]

Well, disappointingly, seems these will be unpainted (so with that, I moved it to the unpainted forum). Minis will have different colored bases depending on faction. Not much other news.

I came into collecting too late to ever get Heroscape. I only became aware of it when they started using D&D sculpts, but probably due to them being exclusives, the sets with the Black Dragon (cheapest way to grab that mold) sold out really fast.
Other minis though, were so cheap I managed to get a lot of them, including those cyborg Wolves and robot Rats, and all their large Dragons like Mimring who work well as Linnorm stand-ins.

[jaredh]

Unpainted? Are they crazy?

Straight to the clearance bin on this most likely. It won't ever get carried in Wal-Mart/Target like that.

[BBShockwave]

LOL this gets even worse. Not only unpainted, but the whole thing is a kickstarter? Did they think that many people remember Heroscape and would pay 250$ for this?

The minis and factions are also all brand new. I am not saying they are not interesting -there are a lot of cool looking ones - but if you reboot an old franchise, might be worth to make it remotely like the original?
Or rather, they did bring back some, except they are all stretch goal minis.

I might have to pick up those space pirates for Starfinder.

[berk the black]

Fun stuff, but unpainted is a non-starter for me.

[Kualan]

Fun stuff, but unpainted is a non-starter for me.

Almost word-for-word what I was planning on posting as I scrolled through the images.

[Yeenoghu_it_is]

I mean, not to be too catty, but we are in the unpainted miniatures forum.

[berk the black]

That was more an expectation by me that because the old heroclix were pre-painted that this revival should have been the same.

I look at the minis, and some of them are very cool. I wonder if the ballon will stay upright, but it is a great mini. But heroclix sure has been downgraded in my book since they elected to go with monochromatic plastic…
