Ok, i think it is a repaint of the nakita agents. it is a white van. there is agent minivann. van and minivann cancel out to get white agent. only original white agents are nakitas. :ponder: :pray:

[Chardar]

Well it has been awhile since we've had any sci-fi...

[DeathDoom]

The van is the WORST. TRANSFORMER. EVER.

[krysto2002]

Hmm, I'm just going to make random drivel regarding speculation.
Minivan: Mini = micro, so perhaps we'll see a unique microcorp agent, whose name is Vann or something like that...

[White Knight]

If the van were black and gray I'd think the A Team and think we might be getting Mr. T.

But a white van?

:ponder:

[El Diabolo]

Not sure if this has been mentioned before.. but with Cyprien's Skeleton Army... would "Bag O'skeletons" work? Not sure about scale... but if we could have some common squads that would be ridiculously inexpensive to field, it would help offset the trouble/cost of finding unique heroes.

As to the concept that the units selected are less rare than say, the flagbearers.... that is true, but if ALL the units in Heroscape were that difficult to obtain it would certainly have hurt its popularity.

On the other hand, I tip my hat to a community organizing a response to a game going out of "official production." Here's to hoping we can find a good set of miniatures that can be obtained relatively easily so that there will be wide acceptance of new official units.

[Griffin]

That is what I plan on using. I got 100 of them for 10 bucks, so though they are slightly smaller, I can deal with that price and availability. Besides, skeletons should be smaller than fully fleshed out people anyways. ;)

[Mossman]

Bag o Skeletons are tiny (and unpainted)! The best way to go would be the skeletons from Reaper Mini's "Legendary Encounters" line. They're pre-painted, look pretty good, and you can get them in packs of three for $5.79. There's a skeleton swordsman squad, archer squad, and spearman squad. I'll post comparison picks later, but here's a link. Scroll down to see the skeletons.

http://www.reapermini.com/LegendaryEncounters

[1Mmirg]

I like those spearmen. Very cool. How is the scale? Are they still a little on the small size, or pretty close?

(Umm. I notice a mummy in there...)

[robbdaman]

Pretty much all skeletons out there are a bit on the small side. D&D, Reaper even Games Workshop. Large humans should make large skeletons but they are few and far between there. Painting shouldn't be a big deal, they are skeletons after all, some off white(bone) paint and a wash is about all you need most of the time. ;)

I'm going to express that we Heroscapers have been spoiled with our prepainted minis for a while and I hope that people will be open to the idea of unpainted stuff on occasion. Because it will be very hard to find the right minis especially in great amounts in prepainted minis, especially if we want varied sculpts at all like we have for squads.

Unpainted sure, but close to half of them in the bag are a bone white color. ;) Also, they are smaller than Heroscape figures, but Tiny? Really? I wouldn't call them Tiny. They are exactly the size of what I would expect an Elf from Feylund to be if he were nothing but bones.

[Griffin]

Oh, and they are a heck of a lot cheaper than your suggestion, and highly available. 100 for 10 bucks dude! 100! :woot:

That is 100 to your 6 for the same price. Yours are like 50 times more expensive. :p

[dok]

I've been meaning to put together a post with comparison shots of many skeletons.

The Legendary Encounters skeleton is definitely a bit small, but not terribly so... it looks like it could maybe be Otonashi's skeleton. The swordsman is very hard to find, too... it's apparently out of stock. The spearman is much easier to come by.

D&D has produced a bunch of different skeletons. Briefly (all of these can be searched for availability on abprices.com):

The Boneshard skeleton is a very skinny sculpt but is well-scaled and has a nice "I just burst out of the ground" look to him.
The Gnoll Skeleton looks OK (a bit of a 2-D sculpt, but nice scale/paint/armor) if you don't mind that it's obviously non-human.
The Orc Skeleton is very nicely scaled but also obviously non-human and has kind of a lousy paint job.
The skeleton from the Harbinger release is too small; about Migol's Height.
The Warrior skeleton is nicely scaled and looks pretty good. It's also notable because you can get unpainted versions of it with the Castle Ravenloft game; Auggie's sells those bits cheap (http://store02.prostores.com/servlet/auggiesgames/Detail?no=6489).
The Lords of Madness skeleton is, in my opinion, the Cadillac of skeletons. It's cheap, it's perfectly scaled, it has a nice sculpt and paint job.

[robbdaman]

Bleh, the LoM skeleton looks lousy IMO. The Warrior Skeleton is the best of D&D minis. It's sculpt looks menacing where the others look like they died of boredom. ;) A couple of the Mage Knight skeletons are pretty good in scale and look but those are almost impossible to find. Skeletons are something every DM/GM needs in mass so they buy a gajillion of them and when they are cheap like MK or D&D ones they don't last long so they become impossible to find or the price goes way up when you do. As far as sculpt I like the Games Workshop or Kings of War ones best but again we are back to assembly and painting.

I'm taking a break from hanging a ceiling fan, but I'll dig them out and post pics in a little while. I recall them being tiny, but never trust my aging memory.

Okay, here are some comparison pics:

Bag-o's vs a huge character

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk242/Mossman1967/DSCF3032.jpg
L to R: Bag o Skeletons, Legendary Encounters, Dark World, Dragon Strike, Warhammer, Hero Quest

All in all, the Legendary Encounters are a little bit on the small size by classic Scape standards, and about right compared to some of the smaller D&D 'Scape. I don't know if the pictures do it justice, but the Bag o's are not only a good bit shorter, but they're smaller in scale (thickness, weapon size...). I suppose Cyprien could have an army of dead hobbits. I should probably do some comparisons with the Death Knights, which are petite in their own right.

[Griffin]

Thanks for the pics Mossman. :up:

[nyys]

:rofl: Dead Hobbits...

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Mossman again.

[Chardar]

They don't look that small. For 10 cents a figure I can put up with them.

[Mossman]

You can make one hell of a swarm army at 10 cents a figure.

[Griffin]

You could also buy a bag with 2 other friends and only pay 3 bucks and get over 30 figures. 8)

[gorthan313]

They don't look that small. For 10 cents a figure I can put up with them.



Agreed. I'd GLADLY shell out a few bucks for a bunch of those guys, especially if C3V releases a skeleton unit! Cannon Fodder FTW!

BTW: The bigger skellies could be used as a skeleton elite infantry or something like that.

[Griffin]

BTW: The bigger skellies could be used as a skeleton elite infantry or something like that.
Maybe. That is certainly an option if we decide to design elite infantry, but really we should be designing for what we want (interesting unit designs), not for what we have (mini options).

[Taeblewalker]

I'd like a skeleton squad to be like the skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts. That is to say, quick and deadly. I see a fast Move (6), and some kind of ignore wounds ability.

[robbdaman]

Skeletons in most fantasy games move fairly quick, not being hampered by dead flesh like zombies are. A 6 move wouldn't be out of the question, some humans in HS move that speed.

Mossman those different skeletons are a good help, the Warhammer one gives us a good idea how GW and Kings of War ones would work. I'd say the Dark World and Heroquest ones look the best of course. Makes me wish I still had my Heroquest game.

Of course it is the Skeleton Cavalry that will be a lot harder to make if that happens. Those will require dipping into GW or another company for sure.

[Uchiha Blood]

I searched through the thread and couldn't find it, but what company makes the dwarf flagbearer mini in the first post?

[tcglkn]

I think it is a Lord of the Rings figure. But I'm not positive on that. Hope that gives you a start.

[Chardar]

I think it is a Lord of the Rings figure. But I'm not positive on that. Hope that gives you a start.

It's a LotR Dwarf Standard Bearer. The image was found here (http://battlemind.wordpress.com/2009/02/20/lotr-dwarf-standard-bearer-is-complete/). And originally posted here (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=34042).

[dok]

I'd much rather spend typical Heroscape prices (read: on the order of $5 to $8 per squad) and get quality, well-scaled figures, than have substandard figures for a very low price.

Again, if we're going the unpainted route than you can get the unpainted warrior skeleton included in the Castle Ravenloft game for 90 cents apiece, and it's perfectly scaled for Heroscape. You could get away with a quick wash and just painting the shield, hilt of the sword, and the rock on the base.

And again, the Warrior Skeleton is especially notable because we can get it cheap.

What don't you like about the LoM skeleton? Sure, he's not swinging the sword, but he's brandishing it. The detail on the armor and shield is unmatched in any other mass-produced plastic skelly, and the paint job matches anything else out there. And it's perfect scale for Heroscape - if Drake had a skeleton it would be the size of the LoM skelly.

A couple of the Mage Knight skeletons are pretty good in scale and look but those are almost impossible to find. Skeletons are something every DM/GM needs in mass so they buy a gajillion of them and when they are cheap like MK or D&D ones they don't last long so they become impossible to find or the price goes way up when you do.Pretty much all the old D&D skellies cycle pretty regularly on the secondary markets. They're all common figures. If you just check regularly at a few places, you can gather a dozen of any of the figures for regular Heroscape prices or less.

As far as sculpt I like the Games Workshop or Kings of War ones best but again we are back to assembly and painting.Agreed. There's definitely the potential for somebody to buy a huge lot of Kings of War, prep and paint them, and sell "squads" of them for a $1 or $2 markup per figure. Ditto for the skeleton cavalry (http://www.manticgames.com/Shop-Home/Undead/Cavalry/Product/Undead-Revenant-Cavalry-10-Figures.html) (really, the only option available for skeleton cavalry), as well as for some historical lines (I'm thinking of the Perry Miniatures (http://www.perry-miniatures.com/index2.html) stuff, but there's a lot out there once you're talking about sprues).

[Griffin]

Nah, I like the 100 skeleton warriors for 10 dollars or less. ;)

[robbdaman]

Nah, I like the 100 skeleton warriors for 10 dollars or less. ;)

I will agree you can't beat the price for the volume you get. ;)

As far as the LoM skelly it looks okay, better than most of the D&D ones. I have problems with a lot of D&D minis and their stupid looking shields for one I guess. Typically though D&D Minis skeletons are rather small next to Heroscape figures. The Death Knights look lousy IMO but if the LoM one measures up scalewise I might be okay with them. Also I want my squads to have different poses even if I have to modify them to make that happen. 8)

They match perfectly scale-wise, unlike the Death Knights.

Also I want my squads to have different poses even if I have to modify them to make that happen.I agree completely. Three identical figures is not a squad.

Nah, I like the 100 skeleton warriors for 10 dollars or less. ;)Keep pushing that price envelope Griff. I bet you can find some cardboard cutouts that are even cheaper!

[Griffin]

I think cardboard cutouts actually are a great option if there was a complicated design that we couldn't find a figure for. Or if there was a figure for but I couldn't find one or chose not to afford it, I would just use a cardboard cutout then too.

[robbdaman]

Cardboard cutouts might be all we can get for Marro. :shrug:

[Griffin]

Yeah I hope not, but it is a reality. Cutouts are not ideal, and hope that we never feel the need to resort to them.

[Chardar]

Cardboard cutouts might be all we can get for Marro. :shrug:

I highly doubt this. There's tons of monsters, aliens, skeletons, zombies, etc out there that would pass for marro. Even without a repaint.

Also cutouts work pretty well. Project Pokemon has been using them for almost a year now, and they work much better than you would think. So give them a fair chance.

[killergoat72]

As long as we get the Lizardfolk hero, I'm happy!
Also, I'd like to know if the Ronin will have the class Ronin. If so, he can't be activated by Kato, but that's fine.
And a Mohican Shaman with a Vision Quest power, and the ability to summon common hero animal spirits!
C3V is free to pillage these ideas.

A Ronin is a masterless samurai so Kato should not command him anyway.

[Utgars_General]

Do you have any idea just how big the Trygon/Mawloc is? It would have to be a 7-hex figure! The reason is the tail does not take kindly to repositioning, and the tail must always be in the same pose.

However, the Raveners from 40k are just the right size. ;)

The Necrons also look very cool, and with a brighter paint job, they can be very cool looking Marro...

Feel to post images of any figures you think we may be using. It's been awhile since I've added anything to the OP.

[krysto2002]

While I can't say what you'll be using, I can say I've already noted the theme of famous people throughout the history of 'Scape. That being said, who's next?

Also, on the topic of Marro, I found a SWM figure, that when worked over a bit (paint/sculptwise can be rather Marro-ish)

His face is the only part that bugs me, but a coat of pain over the whole thing and some quick-fix to the back of the head could yield interesting results.

Ok, now that I've vented my spleen (it's been a horrid day, High School included), I'm going to guess that I was right with saying that you're making HSers themed heroes, of which, likely, I will know none.

Well, back to the daily grind, though I'd at least like an apology from those who jumped to assume what I did and did not know, I found it very insulting.

That's true. That was just a brainstorm I had a while back, and nobody is currently working on that design.

[dok]

GO, that power needs to specify when the "X" order marker may be revealed, as is done in the language of Siege and Evar Scarcarver's powers. ("Before taking a turn with Jaques de Gourous, you may reveal the "X" marker on this card...")

[tcglkn]

Nice catch dok. What if the power let you choose before or after taking your turn. That would make for a fun power.

[rshorton]

I was wondering if there was a time frame in place for when we might start seeing some of the customs like Haduc released. I know there's a lot of work and playtesting involved before they can be released, but didn't know if there was a estimated release month or 2 month period (Like March/April, May/June, Ect.). Just so we can be prepared to start creating our customs. :D

[tcglkn]

We will be releasing waves so we need quite a bit more units before we can release anything. That said we have a good bit in the works and several are nearing playtesting. We are working hard, but this stuff takes time.

Yea Tickle is right, it takes time to get things just right. We are all working away on some very cool stuff though... I'm confident that it will be WELL WORTH the wait!

[killercactus]

I think that CVN will be the Lizardfolk hero. I don't really know why... I just kind of have a gut feeling. It could be the whole Ness = Nessie = Lizard thing....

[IAmBatman]

I have heard rumors of him being a cold blooded player ... :-P

I realize it takes time to choose models, make stats, and playtest the figures so you can get them right. I am also confident that it will be well worth the wait. I also didn't know it was going to be a whole wave. I thought it was going to be a figure or two released at a time. I was just curious if there was a time frame in place or not. I'm in no rush at all. I was just looking for a rough idea of when I would be spending more money on Scape. That's all. :D

[tcglkn]

Oh, this wave is certainly shaping up to be worth the wait. You will not be disappointed.

[Prometheus]

I have heard rumors of him being a cold blooded player ... :-P

Ectotherm
Any snow or ice space counts as one additional move for CVN. if CVN ends the round on a snow or ice space, he receives one wound.

Or Van Ness could be a giant space robot crime lord with a black hole staff...

[DeathDoom]

I have heard rumors of him being a cold blooded player ... :-P
Late to the party here. Am I the only one who thinks that "cold-blooded" kinda SCREAMS Lizardfolk?

[El Diabolo]

I was curious... has there been any discussion about including already respected customs... like those from the Halls of Valhalla? I ask, because I just picked up the Grut Witch Figure and was really impressed with her as a custom model. I really think many of the already existing customs are terrific and worth elevating to "official (playable in a tournament)" status.

Thoughts?

That's more of the SoV's (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=33458)territory. We're making entirely new waves to replace the official ones.

[IAmBatman]

There's a different project doing that - a very good one called Soldiers of Valhalla. We're only working on original, collaborative designs here.

[Agent Minivann]

Well, it's red so it isn't Ultramarines.

[Dredd Stev]

As we start to churn out more figures, and we refine our process I find myself getting pretty excited about the first release! We got some really inspired and incredibly fun stuff going on here guys!

I know some people are getting ancy for something concrete from the team, and that's understandable but as a wise rocker once said: "The waiting is the hardest part". I'm quite certain our first release is going to drop some jaws.

I have to agree. Trust me when I say that the team is staying true to both Valhallascape and the quality this community has come to love.

How to buy it ?

[IAmBatman]

Well it's a custom project, so you'll have to buy the minis on your own from various stores (we'll try to offer some guidance on that one when the time comes) and print off the cards we've made to go with them.

[Scapemage]

I heard there's a Vampire coming. Sounds cool!

Captain John Varan
A Blast with the Airborne Elite
Special Ability named Medal of Honor?
Van Nessing
Tribute to Craig Van Ness

I wouldn't stand in the way of a Penguins With Machine Guns, but I probably wouldn't play with them. It's not that I think that they affect the (not) seriousness of the game. I just don't think they really fit in with the existing theme or feel of the game. Kind of like some people don't feel like the DnD units fit in.

And there's something about them that just "bothers" me. :reapershrug:

[ZBeeblebrox]

I have always thought that "Penguins With Machine Guns" was a joke by CVN and not intended to be serious...but they seem to have taken on a cult following on this site.

[1Mmirg]

Well, you have to understand that the "Penguins" are really Aptenodines from the polar regions of Marr. An exclusive group of genetically advanced guerilla warriors that, initially tamperd with by the Marro, have now long fought to drive the Marro from the cold regions of the planet.

;)

[CanScape]

PWMG might offend some people, but I bet if the sculpts were good, they'd change their minds. I mean, if you make em look all cute and cuddly, then yeah...that would be lame. If you made them look like Rambo, I think that would be lame too...there's a middle ground somewhere in there.

I thought the "Jesus" proxy was hilarious, but I can see why that would offend some folks...it's just easier to find a plastic Jesus than it would three or four machine gun wielding penguins.

If this unit comes out, I'm totally in.

[killercactus]

I honestly wasn't planning on buying many minis for customs, but I swear to you know if PwMG's come out, I will order 4 squads.

They should have Ripped Pants of Awesomeness as an ability.

[IAmBatman]

I know the knock some people have on PwMGs is that they're supposedly the "last" unit that'd come out for Scape, so they'd be a sign of the true end of Scape.
I don't buy into all of that, though. I think they'd be fun. :-)

[Taeblewalker]

Wait until you see the Gannets with Paintguns!

I've never heard that. I'd just thought people (myself included) thought they were just too ridiculous for the game.

[Ace Histoli]

I've already publically stated (in some thread somewhere) my intention to buy at least 5 squads of PwMG's, and my enthusiasm hasn't dimmed at all.
If you wanted to throw in a Penguinoid Unique Hero with an even more absurd weapon, too... well, I wouldn't complain. ;)

[dok]

I think PwMG should absolutely get made as a custom. We have a project Pokemon, forgoodnesssake. If somebody finds/makes some sculpts and does a good job with it, there's a demand for it.

That said, I don't personally think that C3V is the right place for PwMGs.

You'd be surprised at some of the stuff that's coming out of that project (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=31460). ;)

Anyways, PwMGs would be awesome. I actually think a Rambo penguin would be cool, but I picture PwMGs as more like Al Capone style guys.

Is anyone willing to leak the point costs for the common squads :-)

(Long story, I normally limit my purchases the 200pts of a common squad. It's the only way I can control my addiction. Really. So, for example, I only have 2 squads of the kyrie).

This C3V wave 14 looks great and I want to get my order in.... but how many?

Thanks

;-)

I really thought my addiction was over with the announcement from WoTC. Thanks guys. really. i think..

[Chardar]

As pleasant as that idea sounds it's really not possible, at least not the moment. The reason being that most of those units are still in playtesting, so their costs haven't been determined yet.

[Freezie]

Anybody got guesses on what generals these guys are going to?

Obviously Cpt. Varan and Omegacron are going to Jandar, just as Haduc and Zogross are with Ullar. Front page says the Eradicators are with Valkrill, and I'm assuming Nicholas Esenwein and the Preyblood Thrall are going to Valkrill as well. Zaeus is Vydar seeing as he was seen in a picture with the G-nators. I think Van Nessing could be a good fit for Jandar, but that might not be the case. The resistance fighters are going to Vydar I think, along with Kira Jax. The blade dancers could go to just about anyone. Any other thoughts?

[DeathDoom]

Kira Jax has some kind of synergy with M-43, so I'm guessing she's Aquilla.
Preyblood Thrall could be an Utgar figure, but it's hard to guess without powers. Blade Dancers? No frakking idea, but the colors kinda make me think Jandar or Valkrill.

The resistance fighters can't go to Vydar, Jandar, or Utgar because they are against all the Soulborgs on Alpha Prime.

So that leaves Valkrill, Ullar, Einar, and Aquilla.

I don't see them being Valkrill, they don't seem evil and I also see Valkrill getting Soulborgs in the future so Valkrill's out.

They don't seem like an Einar force, Einar is the more disciplined, organized, imperial general.

They don't represent the natural/fantasy theme of Ullar, though he is not out of the question.

They fit Aquilla best because they represent that hidden or tribal nature of the Aquillian forces.

My guess goes to Aquilla, though I would not be surprised by them going to Ullar.

Front page says the Eradicators are with Valkrill, and I'm assuming Nicholas Esenwein and the Preyblood Thrall are going to Valkrill as well. Zaeus is Vydar seeing as he was seen in a picture with the G-nators. I think Van Nessing could be a good fit for Jandar, but that might not be the case. The resistance fighters are going to Vydar I think, along with Kira Jax. The blade dancers could go to just about anyone. Any other thoughts?

The resistance fighters can't go to Vydar, Jandar, or Utgar because they are against all the Soulborgs on Alpha Prime.

However, Einar has both ninja and samurai. Jandar has vikings and knights.

[faure]

The resistance fighters and/or blade dancers could well go to Aquila.

[DeathDoom]

I believe the Mariedians are confirmed Aquilla, but I don't remember where I read that...

[Rich10]

The resistance fighters and/or blade dancers could well go to Aquila.I wonder if the blade dancers are related to the Anubian wolves.

Well, they may or may not be from Feylund (although I think it's pretty much been determined that they're from Grut), but what niche needs filling in the wolf faction? They've got shock troops, kinda sorta range, melee lockdown, and a very solid bonding hero.

Hmm...

AND they already have a racial enemy from back on their home world...

Lookie what just got dropped in the playtesting thread:
Also, i just sent out a revised review for the Preyblood Thrall. If anyone else is testing this unit, try using at least 3 so you can take advantage of Mindless Pack.
Anybody got ideas? Sounds like horde movement to me.

Yes, they are common heroes.

Why is there a figure named after GreyOwl?

[IAmBatman]

Why wouldn't there be? GreyOwl is awesome! :-)

[Chardar]

Why is there a figure named after GreyOwl?

Heroscape has a long tradition of naming its units after people who worked on the game, and we're continuing that with some of the more prominent members of the site. Greyowl is just one of many naming homages in the C3V lineup.

Question about the new AT-43 Red Blok Strielitz Kolossus Unit Box featured in the photo previews.

Is there only one miniature per box? I'm assuming this is a three-unit squad.

There are three figures in each box, so one box makes the squad.

[Sherman Davies]

Also, people may want to hold off on buying more than one box. :whistle:

[TnT2]

In the other C3V thread - it has been stated this is a unique squad... :-)

Got to see the cards this weekend at the Michigan tournament, and I will say, there is some cool stuff coming guys, stuff that will really fill the cracks in the game. First off, Omegacron is a beast, the M-43 Fighters and the Blade Dancers are really going to change the metagame, and Haduc adds some even more twisty elements to the game.

I'm glad people are the tournaments like our work. The cards were similarly well-received down in Maryland. It makes it all worthwhile.

[Tornado]

Yes indeed it was worth the trip just to see the figures and cards in real life. Wonderful and fresh new mechanics and finally a true Lizard King. Thanks to all involved, especially ZB for bringing them and running the tourney.

Are the Gnids supposed to be in this wave? Or the next one?

[Taeblewalker]

There's a better chance they'll be in this wave than the next.

[GromBloodboy]

The Gnids, I love those things. Something I forgot to mention in the other post. These guys are cool, and in the right build, can pretty much disable most range pods. Very, very cool unit. Make sure to get 3-4 squads of them, they go quickly when on the battlefield.

[nyys]

I think the Gnids are good at x2 (at least if you're $$ conscience when getting your hands on the minis), x3 at most IMO. That's 8-12 of 24 start zone spaces right there, any more and there isn't going to be much room for the rest of your build.

[Taeblewalker]

I agree with NYYS. Two squads are plenty. However, play them how you like!

[mac122]

I wish I had more time to playtest - I already have some of the figures used for the Gnids.

BTW: Discount Games (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130466324595&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT) still has about 14 boxes of these (8 figures per box) in their eBay store for $10 including shipping. They do give shipping discounts for multiples, so you might be able to get 4 squads for less than $20. Miniature Market has the figures individually in the Confrontation Bitz section. They'll run you $7 plus shipping for a squad of 4, though.

[GromBloodboy]

Tul-Bak-Ra-130
Q9-310
x4 Gnids-???

Total:???

I don't know, that army right there looks like it can tear apart any range pod if played correctly. The Raelin/Q9 combo should fear that army right there.

[ZBeeblebrox]

Ohhh TBR to teleport Gnids in...I like it.

[Killometer]

Yeah, TBR+Gnids is Gnasty. ;)

[nyys]

Gnice!

[ZBeeblebrox]

Gnarley :)

[Killometer]

Gnow gnow, gno matter how gneat the Gnids are, let's gnot have any more of that gnonsense. :p

[ZBeeblebrox]

:rofl:

[Oliver Upshaw]

Are the Gnids the figures labeled "The figures used for this unit are Confrontation figures from the Scorpions set. Its model name is Phemera Omega Unit Box," and how many are in a squad?

[Taeblewalker]

Yes, great job gnoticing! There are four figures in a squad, and eight figures (4 different ones) in a box.

And remember, gno gnews in good gnews with Gary Gnu!

[Sherman Davies]

I agree with NYYS. Two squads are plenty. However, play them how you like!

Right - we designed the Gnids as a support unit first and foremost, so two squads should be enough in most cases, leaving you with enough starting spaces and points for an army core.

[Tai-Pan]

I have no idea what the topic in this thread at the moment is, but I wanted to drop in and say this:

The Confrontation minis are beautiful!! And cheap!!! I imagine they would be a great source for minis for this project. I was just on Miniature Market's website, and there were lots of figures that would work as squads for HeroScape prices, about $10 for 2 squads. Lots of possibilities for fantasy.

You guys are making Basic cards as well?!

Awesome, awesome, awesome!
Not that I've ever played a basic game, but it just shows your level of attention to detail. I'm definitely printing out those bad boys for the back sides of my cards. Thanks again for all your hard work!

[Sherman Davies]

Thanks for the enthusiasm! Not many players will use the Basic cards, but they exist for verisimilitude, not to mention they contain extra information about the units (home planet, collection name and figure number).

That's definitely a nice touch. It will make them feel that much more official. Nice job, C3V!
