Get yer Gencon scoop here!

[toddrew]

The first post in this thread will be updated periodically to reflect any new news, as well as posted in the body of the thread - trying to keep all the news centralized, but I'm no admin do what you want

* * *
Just got a call from jcb231 from Gencon - no wave 5 stats but he has seen the wave 6 figures! He took some pictures, but the figures were in a display bubble, so they didn't turn out too well, but he'll post those when he gets a chance.

Anyway, here's the teaser:
squad of Samurai Bowmen
Zombies. Yes, zombies.
Einar Kyrie - similar to sentinels of Jandar
Kee-Mo-Shi
Samurai Hero
the "prototype kyries" from pre-wave 1: the purple and yellow kyrie and the utgar-looking kyrie with the medusa lockes.

Wave 6 discussion is in the Wave 6 (facts & speculation) thread.

* * *

Also he saw the next Toys 'r' Us exclusive (I know, groan, groan) - not the generals themselves, but their flagbearers:
gorillanator for vydar
elf for ullar
samurai for einar
orc for utgar
knight for jandar

Not sure if they are all packaged together or not, but each figure comes with a 20-sider in the general's colors (reddish for utgar, greenish for ullar, etc.)

General Flagbearers discussion is in the General Flagbearers (facts & speculation) thread.

Stats for the GENCON EXCLUSIVE FIGURE! (via wisinger by way of hextr1p)



The figure is a re-paint of a Knight of Weston.

Sir Hawthorne discussion is in the GENCON EXCLUSIVE FIGURE: Sir Hawthorne! thread.

Marvelscape is on display, but no new news - similar to the comicon display. The Gencon Marvelscape display photo is here. Marvelscape discussion is at the Marvel Heroscape thread.

* * *

New scenarios will be in the rule book in the next release of the master set (don't get too excited - no new MS, just a new rulebook, edition 3 I suppose, but maybe just some added scenarios), one of them is a "king of the hill" type scenario.

GenCon Tourney Results

BoB is at gencon and purchased the castle and wave 5. He promises to have the stats posted later today.

I'll post more as I hear from jcb231, or he'll post himself when he gets a chance (plus I'm sure the news will be flowing freely from other sources!)

[markwars]

It's a good thing I'm not at GenCon. I might have gone through that bubble!

[toddrew]

Slightly more news - 2 new scenarios will be in the rule book in the next release of the master set (don't get too excited - no new MS, just a new rulebook, edition 3 I suppose, but maybe just some added scenarios), one of them is a "king of the hill" type scenario.

Also there is an exclusive figure - but no word yet on who has been re-painted

[markwars]

So wave six speculation....

Einar Kyrie...maybe three of them...

Heroes pack would have Samurai Hero, Ke-Mo-Shi (is she fairly large), and the two Kyrie from waaaaay back....

Zombies....maybe four of them....

Where are the rest of the figures?

Friggin' display bubbles!! Free them from the bubble!!

And flag-bearers?! What does that mean?! I mean, I know what it means... but are they actually carrying flags? And seriously, another TRU exclusive? Well... at least we know they'll be in abundant supply... heh...

[toddrew]

Forgot to add about the flagbearers: they come a "general-colored" (reddish for Utgar, greenish for Ullar, etc.) 20-sider - purpose unknown at this time.

Good news that wave 6 is being shown.

As for the exclusive figure, can anybody please get me one? PM me.

Yup, carrying "huge flags", in the words of jcb231

[GaryLASQ]

do the flags have the letters TRU on them? (kidding)

[noodles]

If flagbearers are coming, I'm wagering the generals aren't too far behind.

Nope, they say "BOGO"

[markwars]

Another d20? That's odd.
