[Grungebob]

I'm getting the Flag poll.

[Su-Bak-Na]

How come I'm the only one seeing the new names.

[Grungebob]

OK I posted them in my erlier post.

[jlo]

I see the new poll. I just voted. They are all listed. Toxic skin for Kee-Mo-Shi. This wave is going to be great.

[Sagart]

Yah, I'm only getting the flagbearers also. Would it be silly for me to ask you to post the address you’re using?

Yah, it is weird. I'm still getting the FB poll. When I'm on the official sit the is the link I get,

That brings me to the FB poll and when I click on your link it brings me to the same poll. Very weird.

Sorry, my mistake, it's actually the same address. But still very weird.

why doesnt everybody just chill out and check the poll tomorrow or something. If it doesnt work its not the end of the world.I would say that because they are excited about the info they don't want to wait 'til tomorrow.

[CupidsArt]

I just get the FB poll, :( :D

[K/H_Addict]

i say don't get your hopes up. we won't see it till january anyways. when has anything ever been released on time?

:shrug:

[teekay]

Just checked the poll (Chicago time 10:00 pm) and the new poll is up.

I voted for the Heavy Gruts and at this moment in time, the Heavy Gruts are the runaway favorites with 23%. In my opinion, this is cool because it means that (among the people who voted so far) players want to see common squads. More large-scale battles rather than individuals fighting.

Now if we could just get more army men.

[CupidsArt]

Eldgrim: Is he a dwarf? Is he a Viking? Only time will tell.

3 weeks and 6 days untill I can get the name and stats of the darwf an Samurai Hero.


Yeah, will it be a Dwarf, or Will it be a Short Viking? Only time will tell us, :D

They are SO taunting me right now..........

[K/H_Addict]

you do realize, nether, that no body aside from me, you and GB will understand your siggy, right?

[Joah]

There is going to be another wave?

Heh, I noticed that too. That was aimed directly at us.

[CupidsArt]

There is going to be another wave?

What will they call it?

It will be called, "Fall of the Reavers"

and the new human hero's motto will go like this: "Find that soldier that's taking a dirt-nap with baby Jesus, we need a hood orniment"

Runa: Any figure with the word Mitonsoul in one of their special powers is a winner!

A walking Glyph of Mitonsoul!?!

[mrbistro]

Wow! Actual information on a new wave from the official site. They seem to be on top of things. You know what? I suspect.. dare I say it?... this wave will be released on time in stores too! Good times people. The sweet heroin we crave is here once again.

[teekay]

So, I've gone back to look at the pictures from GenCon,

http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=1707&highlight=set+6+pics

6 Zombies in a package will definately be a cheap, low-level common squad.

All the samurai (including the hero) are sporting bows. They will be unique.

Not many commons in this set or am I mistaken?

[Uprising]

Haa, I knew I wasn't seeing something that wasn't there. We have names. This is all so exciting, I wanna hug everyone :grouphug:

[K/H_Addict]

the samurai archer can only be unique if the kyries they are packaged with are as well. The kyries will have to be pretty strong for them to have to be unique...

[Su-Bak-Na]

And now back to your regularly scheduled thread :roll:

Runa: Any figure with the word Mitonsoul in one of their special powers is a winner!

A walking Glyph of Mitonsoul!?!

This is defenatly the Utgar kyrie, Mitonsoul screams evil.

They also said the Einar Imperial are soldiers, witch means Marcus just got a whole bunch better.

[Uprising]

[playa1]

A dwarf or a viking? Give me a break. Did you ever meet a viking with a height of 3? And why isn't Kee-Mo-Shi winning? She's the coolest looking figure ever: and how can you beat a female Marro?? How cool is that!

[K/H_Addict]

Kaemon Awa. Could his ability be called Quick Release? The tense they used it in makes me wonder...

[TC McQueen]

On the Eldgrim: Is he a dwarf? is he a viking? Only time will tell

Well, I am guessing going by Eldgrim's name that he is going to be a short viking. Eldgrim is to similar a name to Thorgrim to make me think dwarf imho.

Though I am still hoping for him to be a dwarf.

glad to see i'm not the only one in that frame of mind...

[CupidsArt]

I wonder if it's just another Rapidfire Special Attack?

[Grungebob]

Eldgrim: Some Vikings are just short. There are short people in real life and this figure goes out to all of you short players. Just because a person is short does not mean they are a dwarf.

[K/H_Addict]

that would be awesome, but i am really cravin some new concepts this time. I get the feeling i am going to like the zombies a lot becuase i think that they intorduce a new, never-before-seen ability. I wan't something using counters, like Bloodlust or Rod of Negation. Or just new powers.

[1shot_1kill]

Eldgrim: Is he a dwarf? is he a viking? Only time will tell.

My love for R&C outweighs my hate. But just barely. :D

[Slovotsky]

Why can't it be both a dwarf and a viking? Although not too common there were dwarfs in their mythology.

[Supergeek]

The sweet heroin we crave is here once again.
Just when I had gotten over the shakes from the castles and FB's.

[noodles]

Eldgrim: Some Vikings are just short. There are short people in real life and this figure goes out to all of you short players. Just because a person is short does not mean they are a dwarf.

Don't you mean "little person"?

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Ha ha! Taunting us!
Darn. I thought for sure Durnipia would be that purple-headdressed Kyrie heroine. So she'll probably be Princess Kiova. Runa will be the Taelordette type figure, I'm guessing.
Great find SBN!

[K/H_Addict]

IDC what they're names are, as long as they can't file the same complaint as taelord!

[Fourshadow]

Hmmm, with that teaser as well as the name, I am no longer certain the Shades will be for Vydar.....that would definitely cool my enthusiasm for them. Utgar has way too much already, I do not want him to have the Shades!

I am very excited about the Kyrie--heroes and squad, Tagawa archers and hopefully, the Shades are still Vydar's... :D

[Revdyer]

And I think the site here can thank the powers that be...just when some people were complaining that the traffic on the board was slowing down, the Hasbro-bros offer us this to spur the conversation. I don't think that is an accident at all. They love us...they really love us.
<okay, a bit of cynical sneer needs to be entered here>

[happyjosiah]

<okay, a bit of cynical sneer needs to be entered here>

Very well.

This is bad for the future of the game. Hasbro ruins everything. Where's the tournament support? The Dwarf is clearly broken.

[Revdyer]

Oh, hj, you are genuinely wicked! <laughing>

[DoesntCompute]

Rev,

Why are your dogs always behind bars in the pictures you post?

[Venandier]

Logically, I dont Hasbro would bring up the thought of a possible dwarf figure w/o there actually being one. Ill bet that Hasbro knows that even suggesting that Eldgrim may possibly be a dwarf then later confirming his Viking-ness would make everyone dissappointed. I also don't think that they'd just release just another Viking hero alone from more viking counterparts.

[kenjib]

Ill bet that Hasbro knows that even suggesting that Eldgrim may possibly be a dwarf then later confirming his Viking-ness would make everyone dissappointed.

I was thinking the same thing, but the "xxxx-grim" name argument is also pretty compelling from the Viking end. Let's dissect this further, shall we? First we must calculate the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow...

[truth]

Ummm... Seriously. It's a Viking. I was there man! Craig and I go waaay back. I remember going to school together. We'd often trade snacks at lunch. I had a transformer lunch box and he had a Care Bears lunch box he inherited from an older sister. I always used to tell him. "Craig, when you grow up you should make a hex based miniature war game and call it HeroScape." and He'd say to me " Colby, that's the dumbest idea I've ever herd." So long story short, I can tell when he's joking. And he was not joking, its a viking.

Well, a Viking would be too heavy for a European swallow to carry, so perhaps it is a dwarf.

[K/H_Addict]

I think it is neither. It is simply a midget with a major case of 5 o'clock shadow.

[thehandofzarquon]

Huh, the new Kyrie are soldiers? Marcus is the last class boosting hero I would have expected to get new units (given that there are good many soldiers already)... still, I suppose I wasn't too far off guessing the Kyrie might be Ashigaru...

[Hahnarama]

Craig probably had a Six Million Dollar Man lunch box. I think The Transformers were a little late for his lunch box carrying days--he is 30 something. As for the older sibling, I'm betting on a Superfriends lunchbox.

chirp! chirp! Enjoy your lunch! whirrr!

[Revdyer]

Rev,

Why are your dogs always behind bars in the pictures you post?
We have a wrought-iron spiral staircase painted white and the dogs think they own the steps. In fact, they doown the steps. The only one who has co-rights to it is the cat.

Ah. I thought they might be in trouble so much that you had to create a doggy prison.

[Revdyer]

No, the dogs pretty much have the run of the place. Just ask LongHeroscaper. They jump on him every time he comes over to play.

[Chimpy]

That is sad. I don't even know if the kyrie are common or unique!

So, not to burst the feeling of celebration, but do we actually have any ideas on what these powers of these units might be? (According to the poll.) It seems Ke-Mo-Shi will have some marro plague type power. It also seems like the ghosts might have an interesing power.

P.S. They are udating the site! Maybe this streak will continue!

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Ill bet that Hasbro knows that even suggesting that Eldgrim may possibly be a dwarf then later confirming his Viking-ness would make everyone dissappointed.

I was thinking the same thing, but the "xxxx-grim" name argument is also pretty compelling from the Viking end. Let's dissect this further, shall we? First we must calculate the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow...
I've always thought it was a Dwarf Hero, but I agree the 'grim'ness of the name is a good argument towards a viking character in line with Thorgrim.


IDC what they're names are, as long as they can't file the same complaint as taelord!
And K/H doesn't care what the characters are called. :P

Well, a Viking would be too heavy for a European swallow to carry, so perhaps it is a dwarf.

African Swallow, I hear they are much bigger?

Yes, but African Swallows are non-migratory.

But suppose two swallows could carry him together?

Only if one is guess-timating if Eldgrim's a Dwarf or a Viking by the 'grim' in his name. :P

either way, i am pretty darn sure he will have a height of small (something), so it doesn't matter to me too much. i just want some more fricken Kyries!

It was coconuts in the movie...But a Dwarf may weigh as much as a couple of large coconuts...
Therefore, I must go with African Swallow...and Im sticking with my original vote from the poll...He is a viking. In the pic, he looks to be 4 hexes high...still shorter than Finn and Thorgrim, but still a viking.

-Ski

I believe 6 will be much like Zanafor's. It will have a few units that folks thought would be great but will later forget about. It will also have many units that will become common in the fact that each person will play those figures frequently.

I see units like the Shades and Runa (depending on ability) becoming the next Krav or Drake (maybe even in the same army, :twisted: ).

I see units like Imperium and Eldgrim having a place, but going the way of the monks from JO in less than a month.

Kaemon Awa and the Tagawa will have a steady use, but will only see heavy play with the dedicated Einar fans.

The Moridan will have a huge blowout at first but after a few monthes some folks will wonder why they have 8 sets of them when 4 work just as well, :D

Depending on her cost I can see Ke-Mo-Shi taking the place of a few Marro heros (can I hope she's a Warlord without being punched).

Empress Kiova.....each time I see that name I think green. I'm certain she will be Einar, but I just can't shake the feeling that she will somehow help a few Ullar units.

All of this is just mearly a "feeling" and nothing more not sure why, but I am sure of one thing.

If all of the "Undead" figures in this set aren't Vydar, I'll cry (yeah I know Utgar gets a little of everything).

Out of everything, I think Teamski is right. I believe this set will take the title as best booster, and not because it has the best units or best sculpts, but because I believe 6 has a little something, that makes everyone happy.

Based on the poll, I think that the Shades will be able to suck a the soul of asquad figure to death and deal damage to heros. I wonder if they have some ability which makes ranged attacks pass right through them.

[Jaz1597]

the samurai archer can only be unique if the kyries they are packaged with are as well. The kyries will have to be pretty strong for them to have to be unique...

Okay...I'm confused by this...how do we know for sure the Kyries are packaged with the Archers?

Because if they aren't, it could just as easily be the Heavy Gruts or the Shades...

Maybe the whole wave is unique!

Maybe Hasbro will start giving sets away!

MAYBE I'LL BECOME RICH AND FAMOUS OVERNIGHT!

Or maybe it's late and I'm quite delirious...with sickness...and joy...

Heroes of Durgeth

Archers and Kyries
Shades and Orcs



IIRC this is also how sandra was informed they would be packaged...

[outtakontroll]

Ok here is my take.
1. I believe the dwarf is a kyrie.
2. I believe they are taunting us.
3. I believe Rob and Craig frequent this site often or how would they know there was speculation of a dwarf?
4. I believe hasbro put out the info so they could finally be the first to have some breaking HS news before we found it for ourselves. (again)
5. I think someone should try some URL switching to see if they can find the pages with the stats on them. (Garylasq comes to mind he did it before IIRC)
6. I am very excited about the new info.
7. I am very excited about the new info.
8. Repeat #6 and #7 infinately.

I just found this thread. How the hell did I miss it.

Eldgrim: Some Vikings are just short. There are short people in real life and this figure goes out to all of you short players. Just because a person is short does not mean they are a dwarf.

Hmm. Don't really know how to reply to this. Part of me want's to say, "Thanks bunches", and another part of me wants to make some smart-@$$ remark.

I'll keep it safe, lest I get banned, and say, "Thank's bunches." :wink: :)

Yeah, and last month it said the wave would be called "Markar's Wrath". Very reliable :roll:

[Karkadinn]

I voted for the Runa lass, on the assumption that Runa = the badass swordless Utgar-looking kyrie. Definitely my favorite sculpt of the whole set. C'mon, she looks like an evil priestess or something, you gotta love that. And some sort of Mitonsouly high risk, high gambling factor special ability definitely sounds like it would be fun to play with.
As for the dwarf/viking thing, I'll believe it's a non-dwarf viking when I see the card. (I'm assuming that no one's gonna try and fake one after the last time that sort of thing happened... ;)) Not only does the figure conform visually to the archetypal Tolkien fantasy dwarf, just saying that it's a viking that happens to be short is a rather unlikely explanation because significant height variations amongst humans are very very rare in fantasy mini games, especially in cases where it could cause confusion with the archetypal 'wee' races. What's the point of making a figure that looks exactly like a dwarf, only it isn't a dwarf? I find it much easier to believe that those present with Craig misinterpreted his comments and/or tone in a potentially loud, crowded, perhaps slightly chaotic setting. Like, some people say he couldn't have been joking because he didn't laugh... meh, I say sarcastic jokey things without laughing all the time. If any of you actually talk with him regularly then you'd be in a position to know when he's serious and when he's not most of the time, but then, if you were in that sort of position, you could just ask him again for confirmation instead of relying on that one conversation, so to me that says that y'all ain't in regular contact with 'im.
You can't rely on Wikipedia for information that might be contested or new. I mean, take a look at the fanfiction.net entry right now, lol.

And yet we can't rely on stereotypical appearances to guide us....just look at the Warriors of Ashra. Everyone expected them to be Amazons...I don't thing anyone expected them to be elves.

Buddy LeeBuddy Lee, one foot tall and bulletproof.

[kenjib]

Dwarves are often depicted as very viking-like because they are based on Norse mythology. He looks like a stereotypical dwarf because he looks like a stereotypical viking. The height thing is pretty hard to tell as there is no picture with a neutral camera perspective. One thing I'm sure of though - he definitely weighs more than a coconut.

This is also how the sets are listed on FunAgainGames.com. So I think these groupings can be labeled as 'true' at this point.

[Finrod]

One thing I'm sure of though - he definitely weighs more than a coconut.

What?!? Are you assuming they weighted the plastic or something? None of my small Heroscape figures weigh more than a coconut!

Or did you perhaps mean half a coconut?

[Taelord]

I think he meant a coconut husk. because the ratio of husk to innards of a cocconut is 3:1 and a Heroscape figure wieghs roughly 1/3 the wieght of a coconut. did that clear matters up?

[noodles]

Names don't interest me. I'm waiting for the stats.

[kenjib]

Well that explains it! You're right Taelord. I forgot that I had made macaroons the night before I performed my experiments. Furthermore, the liquid to solid mass of the coconut is a further 1:1.5, rendering the husk alone a mere 22.222% of total mass.

[Revdyer]

So, there isn't going to be a "dwarf tossing" special attack?

[Pilgrim]

[jcb231]

Just checked the poll (Chicago time 10:00 pm) and the new poll is up.

I voted for the Heavy Gruts and at this moment in time, the Heavy Gruts are the runaway favorites with 23%. In my opinion, this is cool because it means that (among the people who voted so far) players want to see common squads. More large-scale battles rather than individuals fighting.

Now if we could just get more army men.

Some aren't so sure that the new Orcs are common.

Like me.

In fact, now that I know they are called "Heavy Gruts" I'm even more inclined to think they are elite or specialist, and thus unique. Plus if the soul stealing Shade power is as cool as it sounds, it may be a unique ability.

The term Arrow Grut didn't seem to make the others elite, and neither did Blade.

[jcb231]

Because neither of those words are "Heavy"

Heavy to me implies that they are a bit more elite or specialized....not just cannon fodder.

Plus their being packaged with the Shades make me think they are unique, unless the Shade power is kind of weak.

It's not a certainty, just a thought.

[jcb231]

3. I believe Rob and Craig frequent this site often or how would they know there was speculation of a dwarf?

.............outtakontroll

They were repeatedly asked this question at Gencon, by myself and others. That's how they know about the speculation.

Oh, and to those that think the wave isn't called Dawn of Darkness or is packaged as follows: Zombies, Kyries and Archers, Shades and Orcs, Heroes....we have more evidence than Wiki. Wiki was put up after we got the info from HMG, Funagain, and other sources. I think it's quite likely that the packaging is correct seeing as how Hasbro is apparently telling retailers that those are the titles.

[jcb231]

Go to the new poll on the official site.

http://www.hasbro.com/heroscape/content/poll.cfm

There are the:
Zombies of Moridan: mmmm Brains!
Shades of Bleakwoode: Devouring Souls is fun!
Ke-Mo-Shi: Her Toxic skin should be a great addition!
Eldgrim: Is he a dwarf? is he a viking? Only time will tell.
Tagawa Samarai Archers: Ranged Samarai??? Einar armies here I come!
Heavy Gruts: The name says it all!
The Einar Imperium: A squad of all kyrie souldiers!
Empress Kiova: What is her Gift?
Runa: Any figure with the word Mitonsoul in one of their special powers is a winner!
Kaemon Awa: Quik Releasing his Arrows away!

I love that a "children's" game has a figure that eats brains and another that devours souls. Wholesome. :-P

I'm thinking Zombies are for Vydar, but I could easily be persuaded that they are for Utgar...wouldn't surprise me in the least to see that red card for them. Mmmm....brains.

Shades I think are for Vydar, but Ullar would be my second choice. Soul-devouring seems more Vydar-like though. I think they may be unique.

Ke-mo-shi is of course for Utgar. Toxic Skin solves the question some had about her Marro Plague ability....it must just be similar in wording or effect. I know I wasn't the only one wondering how they'd finagle the wording of giving a new figure Marro Plague without having to errata the cards of the Wulsinu to make her immune to their plague or put some really awkward wording on her card. New power solves this. No mention of her actions from the comic, but I think she'll have a second power that ties into that.

Eldgrim....I still say he's a dwarf for Einar. They are teasing us too much with that Dwarf thing. Plus he's tiny in person, not even 4 hexes high. A cheated height of Small 4 wouldn't surprise me. They're mocking us!

Samurai Archers....I think these are common.....the question marks make me think their class will actually turn out to be Ashigaru, despite the historical innacuracies some are concerned about. We've heard nothing about ranged counterstrike and I don't think they will have it....too powerful unless they really do some odd tweaks.

Heavy Gruts...I think they may be unique. I'm picturing slower moving, non disengaging Orcs with higher attack and defense than Blade Gruts. I'm thinking they are "Orc Warriors" so that they get the boost from the recently released Ornak.

Einar Imperium....I think these are common. I wonder if the class really is "Soldier" or if that's just a tease. Having them be soldiers would be nice...a fun little boost for Marcus. Odd that there's no mention of their rumored powers. I wonder if that info was off base.


Empress Kiova....gotta be the Einar gal, since Einar has an Empire now it seems. Makes sense given their "Imperial" type troops (Romans, Japanese). I wonder if her full name is "Empress Kiova, the Kyrie Warrior" or if she will be the Kyrie hero that breaks that naming trend? I wonder if her class is Warrior or Empress or something else?

Runa....she's the Utgar gal. I wonder if she will be dropping the "Runa, the Kyrie Warrior" convention that we've grown so used to. Her Mitonsul power I'm thinking is in the title of an ability. Perhaps she has an Aura of Mitonsul or some such? Maybe those that specualted on an Aura of Pain weren't far off the mark.

Kaemon....I wonder if Quik is a typo. Probably is, but ya never now. I'm picturing an ability similar to Rapid Fire, but who knows (besides all the testers on this site of course!). Counterstrike or no counterstrike? I think he will probably have an ability similar to Agent Carr's sword of reckoning, as a way of preventing him from being a pansy in close combat.

[Nwojedi]

well, i'm with noodles on this one. Could care less about names. I want some stats. We know what they look like, who cares what they are called? Until we get some stats. Anything.

As for the dwarf. who cares if he's a viking or not? Can't he be both?

Heavy Gruts. Probably going to be 3 defense with the same 2 attack but move of 4. With some weak special ability but cheap drafting points. maybe 10 more than grut orcs.

What about the Highly detailed unique samuri guy? I didn't see much about him on here.

I have to say, wave 5 did not impress me, with any sclupts. Could have cared less when it was comming out. As far as this wave goes. I have much anticipation for it compared to other waves.

[jcb231]

What about the Highly detailed unique samuri guy? I didn't see much about him on here.


The names tell us a few things, or at least hint at possibilities. Plus the little blurbs..."Toxic Skin" etc...give us some hints.

As for the Samurai....I'm thinking Einar, with range of course because of the bow. As for powers....Quick Release implies some sort of multi-attack I think. Maybe counterstrike and sword of reckoning to go with that.

Quick Release implies some sort of multi-attack I think.

Well, if you ask me what is the first thing I think of when someone says, quick release. It isn't a multi attack. Would be more like a quickly arriving nap.

[kenjib]

To me, quick release sounds like he can fire off a shot at units that are trying to close to melee range with him, or moving within his range, or something like that - i.e. something that happens when it's not his turn. Maybe he has to have an order marker on him for it to work.

[CupidsArt]

Maybe it's an attack similar to DED's where the defending figure doesn't get to roll for defense?

"Quick Release" (as in the release trigger/clamp thing you use for drawing a bow string back and letting it go) Would give me the impresion of some rapid fire special attack type ability.

Time to post opinions!

Zombies of Moridan - Eh. It seems... so plain.

Shades of Bleakwoode - Nice. Shades of Bleakwoode... it seems so epic. And prooves that they're from Valhalla!

Ke-Mo-Shi - Duh.

Eldgrim - Seems Vikingish (I made a new word!). Like the Zombies, however, it's a bit plain. Wonder if there will be more.

Tagawa Samurai Archers - Really, really boring. It's just "Tagawa Samurai" with "Archer" at the end.

Heavy Gruts - Somewhat plain, but it gives off an impression of Orcish Elite. I like it.

The Einar Imperium - Kickass! Must... buy... now!!! That is just awesome! A regal, yet powerful aura is given off by it. Definitely my favorite.

Empress Kiova - Interesting. Thank god it's not Durnipia!

Runa - Uhh... yeah... I don't get it.

Kaemon Awa - Seems like fake Japanese. But hey, what do I know?

Here's my ratings...

1. The Einar Imperium
2. Shades of Bleakwoode
3. Heavy Gruts
4. Kee-Mo-Shi
5. Empress Kiova
6. Runa
7. Eldgrim
8. Zombies of Morindan
9. Kaemon Awa
10. Tagawa Samurai Archers

A good run, however.

johnny139,
I would atleast wait until the stats come out until you vote on if a unit is boring or not. Yunno? What don't you get about Runa? Samurai Archers boring? You're crazy dude. I can't wait for some stats though, that's really the meat and potatos of any release.

[johnny139]

I'm saying the names are boring. I love the Marro Warriors, but their name is boring. Something like Marro Splitters or Marro Shooters would be better. Tagawa Samurai are already around. I think just adding Archer to the end is uncreative and, well, boring. And Runa doesn't make much sense to me, since it's just a name. It's just... Runa. Not Runa the Spellcaster, or Runa the Priestess, just... Runa.

And I too can't wait for the stats. I mean, that is what the game's about...

I agree that "Tagawa Samurai Archers" is boring....and lazy. Lazy naming.

I'm thinking Eldgrim might have something more to his name that revelas his Dwarf of Viking status. Eldgrim the Viking Champion, Eldgrim the Dreadgul Champion, Eldgrim the Dwarven Champion?

[CupidsArt]

Or Eldgrim, the Wingless Kyrie, :D

According to Parenthood.com, the name "Eldgrim" means "Killed by Hrut Hejolfsson".

Which, yes, seems Vikingish. So, when people talk to him, they're saying, "Hey, killed by Hrut Hejolfsson, it's time for dinner!"?

And according to the link Heroes, under the google search http://members.optushome.com.au/bletch/seventh/pages/heroes/borstenn.html

But Henrik did not enjoy this lifestyle, he had no friends, always referred to as 'the bastard' wherever he went. He resented having to play the part of a model Vendel when his heart cried 'Vestennmannavnjar'. And to add to his troubles, his younger half-brother Eldgrim, son of Magnus and Jofrid, and heir to Magnus' title, did not like him at all. Eldgrim resented the regard Magnus had for his elder half-brother, and rumours that Magnus would one day legitimise Henrik only added fuel to the fire. Henrik knew that his position was precarious.

2 years ago, Eldgrim, then just 18, boasted a large fraternity of friends and followers, who openly scorned Henrik. Henrik jumped at the opportunity to accompany a trade delegation on behalf of his father. Eldgrim had wanted to join that voyage to Avalon, but Magnus forbade him, saying that he knew nothing about the wool trade. The look in Eldgrim's eye as Henrik joined the ship convinced him that he should not return. When the ship docked in Northern Montaigne on its way to Avalon, Henrik took the opportunity to jump ship, and left for a life of adventure.

Eldgrim is a viking as well.

Edit: Also look at the pic of the Viking Borstennskoldmund.
He could pass as a dwarf also. But he is not.

Hrut Herjolfsson was a Viking, but that doesn't mean that Eldgrim is in fact a Viking as well.

Eldgrim appears to be a bad guy in referance to Hrut (or Hurtr) so if he does end up being a Viking he may very well end up with Utgar, :) or :(

[jcb231]

Ok sorry to burst anyones bubble. But has anyone else tried Googling the word eldgrim?

I did indeed Google it.

It's sure is looking Vikingish now, but I gotta say that the fact that the thing looks so frickin' dwarfish, plus the fact that it is shorter than any other human in the game, is really lame. Really really lame.

Why make a Dwarf that's not a dwarf?

[Jandars_Hope]

Dwarves = Norse Mythology = Viking names. The name doesn't reveal anything whatsoever.

I agree that "Tagawa Samurai Archers" is boring....and lazy. Lazy naming.


So you think the Heavy, Arrow and Blade Gruts naming is lazy also?



Not as much. I think that these guys should have not reused the Tagawa name. Grut seems to be sort of a species term...like a variant of Orc. So I'm not as bothered by that. I think Tagawa Samurai Archers is lazy though. The only way I can see it being justifies is if these guys have a real synergy with the Tagawas in some direct way, like move bonding or such. But even then....kinda weak.

Actually, Grut is the planet that they are from.

Tagawa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagawa) is a city in Japan, or the location that they come from.

Not too different in my opinion :P

[fejkl]

What about the Quik attack being like Syvarris's Double Attack, only a Triple Attack? That was my first thought, anyway.

A Rapid-Fire type attack certainly sounds nice. What about an ability that allows him to fire at every enemy figure in his range (5 perhaps?) once per activation, no matter if he hits, kills, or whatever, unless he's still engaged? Kind of a blend of Rapid-Fire, Queglix, Blood Hungry, and Ice Shard.

Something like this:

Quick-Release Special Attack:
Range 5, Attack 2 (3?)
Kaemon Awa may attack every enemy figure in his range once during his turn. He may not attack the same figure more than once.

Counter-strike:
The usual

Elite Samurai:
Kaemon Awa receives 3 extra attack dice when attacking an adjacent figure.

I know Grut is the planet, but it also seems to be a term for the Orcs themselves. Kind of like Martians from Mars or Earthlings from Earth. Gruts from Grut. It doesn't bug me all that much.

The Tagawa thing I think is kinda weak still....why not name them after a new region of Japan? I beginning to wonder if they have some particular bond to the Tagawa Samurai we know and love. I've heard essentially nothing about these guys, so I don't know anything about their powers like I do some of the others, making it hard to guess what's in store.

[johnny139]

I'd have to agree. If they have a bond with the Tagawa, it's a bit better. Bonding, attack increase, or something like that. But why not "Tagawa Archers" or something?

[Euryon]

The Tagawa Samurai really dont need movement bonding, which feels like a probable ability of the Tagawa Archers. If its movement bonding for all Samurai, thatd be grand - id love the Izumi to get some love.

[Neurosion]

Maybe this is just too dead obvious, but isn't it likely that "Tagawa Samurai Archers" means exactly what it says? Take the Tagawa Samurai army card, change the Range to 6, and... holy crap! A ranged unit with Bloodlust?!? What's not to love about that?

I'm really going to be a sad bird if the archers aren't common.

Yeah, you and me, and about 50 others. :D I still see them as a common squad since the are packaged with the Kyrie.

If they make the Archers Unique then the Kyrie squad will be too and that isn't fair to Einar's army at all. You have the Sentinels, Minions and Imperium, it seems like a really dopey move if the HS team has made the Kyrie unique seeing the other two squads being common.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think they are just named Tagawa to help link two sets together. Yeah it's great to have so many Samurai groups in one game but honestly on Earth, how many times would these guys be working together.

If they start making more of the Samuria groups link together I could see more theme-in-theme armies.

ie:

"What are you going to run"

"I'm thinking of playing an all Tagawa Army"

"Yeah Iwas going to do that but I decided to run a Kozuke themed army, I just like the speed. Plus their Ashigaru are wicked in close combat"

I would not mind if the Imperium were unique. It would make them the elete of Einar's army. Plus, it fits with the theme of the three lesser generals having less suport in Valhalla. They would have less kyrie to call upon.

Lower the attack to 1 (goes up to 4 with bloodlust) and the defense to 2, then the point cost wouldn't have to be as high.

[quixotequest]

Tagawa would be the clan/family name of the daimyo (warlord) under whom they serve. There is no need to share any bonding or thematic powers whatsoever for the Tagawa Archers to deserve the same clan name as the Tagawa Samurai. (Furthermore, archers are samurai themselves.) It makes more sense to me than for Hasbro to come up with another Japanese clan name to herald under Einar.

Yah, but then it's not the obvious. As I read Neurosion they would have the exact same stats except for rang which would be 6. That would be a 175-200 pt. unit. Lower the attack and defense and, yes, that does make it more reasonable, but less obvious.

2 November 1920: Sean MacEoin's North Longford IRA column defends the village of Ballinalle from a Black and Tans assault, launched in response to the shooting of an RIC man there the previous day. British forces, consisting of eleven lorries of troops, retreat after a two and a half hour gunfight. The IRA column remains in the village for a week.

That counts as running doesn’t?

That sounds a bit Froggy of him doesn't it Euryon? :D

Actually, I thought it sounded kind of Limeyish, what with "lorries" and all. But ... hay ... ya know ... in the interest of fair and balanced I thought I could live with it.

Remember Yorktown! (And our French allies.)

[dragonfire]

i wanna know the stats baddly

The Einar Imperium: A squad of all kyrie souldiers!
Einar Imperium? So what do we call these guys individually?
Minions of Utgar are Minions, Sentinels of Jandar are Sentinels, so what do we call these guys? An Imperium?

Either way, It's a cool name for a group of masked kyrie warriors.

[K/H_Addict]

Imperials maybe?

[Sagart]

Imperials maybe?

I was thinking Imperialists, but I could go either way.

[Hay! Nothing misspelled when I spell checked this! I'm going to have a good Thanksgiving.]

[Darn, had a misspelling on that though.]

[CupidsArt]

I'm just gonna call them Imperium, :? :D

[Grungebob]

Imps

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Imps
Hmmmm. That's Imp possible.

[Pilgrim]

Or at least Imp conceivable.

(though I do no think that means what you think it means).

[ninthdoc]

I suppose it's better then "Gimps".

[jbbnbsmith]

Just when I think I'm finally done purchasing any more HS stuff, out comes another wave with really nice figures. I had planned to stop after getting some castles as I wasn't that impressed with wave 5. But then I saw the stats and realized that there were some nice units there. So I ended up getting 3x for the commons as well as the uniques. When the flagbearers were announced at $13 a pop I thought, "What a rip off!" Now I have all five flag bearers. Surely that would be the end, right?

Now here comes wave six - samuri archers, zombies, ghosts, spider chick...I'm not even going to try to fight it. I just hope I have some time to play this game again. I haven't played in over three months!

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Or at least Imp conceivable.

(though I do no think that means what you think it means).
:lol:

I'm Imp pressed!

[Grungebob]

The Important thing is that we all use the same term.

[atmospro]

I'm Impressed with this conversation

[kenjib]

I suppose it's better then "Gimps".

Depending on the stats they might actually end up with than name...

[ZODGILLA!]

ImpsGood job, simple and to the point.

It's imperative that you stop this line of puns before it gets way out of hand an implodes....

[dragonfire]

damn it im trying to think of a stupid imp pun but i cant.
This whole pun is for impeciles

[jaques]

It's imperative that you stop this line of puns before it gets way out of hand an implodes....

I agree. Let's change the subject completely.

Anybody remember that Nickelodeon cartoon from the '90s, the one about that crazy chihuahua and the weird, disgusting cat-thing he hung out with?

No, I know -- airships! Is anyone here a fan of airships?

How about Jane Goodall, the famous naturalist. I'm trying to remember, what was it she studied again?

Or, there's that MTV show, the one where they take somebody's trashy old car and deck it out. Does anyone watch that?

What about old-time video games. Anybody remember the Activision console? I'm trying to remember who the spokesman was in all the commercials they ran for that thing.

One thing is for sure, if the puns keep up, we'll all be like Laurence Olivier in Richard III ... "Now is the winter of our discontent ..."

[ninthdoc]

Yes, I agree. It is very important for us to get this thread back on track. Although it seems somewhat impious to turn it into a discussion of Nicktoons, despite how groundbreaking Ren and Stimpy were.

I don't mean to imply that jacques posted poorly, I just think that a discussion of Nicktoons could further implode this thread. Impertinent information will only serve to further implications that we have gotten off track.

Therefore it is with the utmost implicit necessity that we re-route this thread to its original purpose.

Seriously imparted,

I agree. I can imagine the implications of straying off-topic.
Let's get back on track.
What was being implied again?

[Euryon]

I think it's imperative we remove the impersonal and improper implications, and then place import on implementing some improvements.

[ZODGILLA!]

Anyone else want to limp in on this?

Yes, there will be no further puns. Additional puns will not be allowed with impunity.

I say who cares about the names of wave 6, first I want bios for Raknar's Vision! But still the names are cool too. I'm just concerned on how many unique packs we'll get.

Hopefully just one unigue pack.(it'll be the hero pack) :pray:

I think that it's improbable. (Did someone else already get that?)

Ill bet that Hasbro knows that even suggesting that Eldgrim may possibly be a dwarf then later confirming his Viking-ness would make everyone dissappointed.

I was thinking the same thing, but the "xxxx-grim" name argument is also pretty compelling from the Viking end. Let's dissect this further, shall we? First we must calculate the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow...African or European?

Well, a Viking would be too heavy for a European swallow to carry, so perhaps it is a dwarf.

African Swallow, I hear they are much bigger?

Yes, but African Swallows are non-migratory.

But suppose two swallows could carry him together?

Yes I imagine they could, but you would have to tye a string to each bird, wouldn't you?

No, I think they can only carry coconuts. Or was it horses? I don't know? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

(Pathdoc goes flying off of a rope bridge over a gorge.)

It was coconuts in the movie...But a Dwarf may weigh as much as a couple of large coconuts...
Therefore, I must go with African Swallow...and Im sticking with my original vote from the poll...He is a viking. In the pic, he looks to be 4 hexes high...still shorter than Finn and Thorgrim, but still a viking.
but if you took a 1 of each with the dwarf and 1 of each with the coconuts and tested the velocity of each, you'd find that the dwarf/viking is too much of a waste of time to arg bargy about, because we can't really answer it until the set comes out.

so many quotes... :shock:
