Heroscape: Age of Annihilation is here! Back it on Haslab!

[Blue Trails]

I'll admit that I didn't really like the Clockwork Combine initially, but six consecutive reveals of awesome units have changed my mind. The new bears are a good example, as the potential for a squad of long-range Chain Grabbers seems like a lot of fun. Of course, the sculpts are cool, too.

Edit: Dwarf bonding, I had overseen that apparent one.

Q10 2.0 and EJ-1M can activate the Blastatrons' Homing Device. I think that's the only other synergy we've seen, though.

Clearly, this will be our dwarf-bear cavalry unit. As long as the dwarves lift with their legs, they'll be fine.

Now we need an Omnicron Repulsor Hero called "SL-1M."

When asked for a picture of sand tiles we got this from Encarmine this evening:

That looks like one of the new Jungle Trees. Look a little bit different than the ones I already have to my eyes.

Note that neither Encarmine nor the CG renders have applied paint to anything; whether or not this is a photo, it shows our new terrain objects as being pre-colored.

Is that a blurry shelf pic?

Could that be a glimpse of a new wall piece on the left?

That’s the bit I want to know about.

Five man squads are definitely interesting from a balance standpoint compared to classic 'Scape - it'll be neat to see some of these unique squads maybe holding their own against the strong classic bonding armies. Really can't wait to start seeing army cards!

Its times like this that I think back to Nathan Fillion voicing the Octopus on several episodes of Resident Alien.

Based on their bio, these guys might win the "Least Child-Friendly" award from me, but the five-unit squad is very cool. Perhaps they will have an ability like the classic zombies.

Reading it again, it actually sounds like Maladrix The Conquerer is the one creating/replacing new Festering Honor Guard units - for all those who wished that the Marro Hive could move and bite people.
