Some ideas recently popped into my head to make Dragons an even more dominant part of Heroscape.

Non-Dragon fans need not apply.

These are a couple of new special abilities for dragons to bring them all up to par with Nilfheim and Braxas.

Charos.:
Dragon's Presence
After moving and before attacking, you may roll the D20 once for each opponent who controls a figure adjacent to Charos. Each opponent who has a figure adjacent to Charos also rolls the D20. If you roll higher than an opponent, that opponent's figures who are adjacent to Charos each receive a wound. You win all ties. If you roll a 20, all opponents' figures within two clear sight spaces receive a wound.

Zelrig.:

Evasive 3
When Zelrig rolls defensive dice against an attacking figure who is not adjacent, add 3 defense dice to Zelrig.


Mimring.:

High Flying
If Mimring takes a turn and...

There are now well over 300 comments on Truth's latest blog of the big news coming out of GenCon '09.

My comment, buried on page 10, I thought was worth posting here, as well as a comment by GrungeBob that most people probably missed.

Here's mine:

Well I've been offline (off Heroscapers) bouncing around the world like a Pinball in God's giant Pinball Machine the past couple months.

I didn't get to comment on the last couple releases on their threads.

I'm also not shopping for any new stuff at the moment, though I do hope to be back at home in Africa where all our stuff is soon.

Today I got to see my first Wave 9's in person. It will probably be 2011 before I get to releasing them for the family and reviewing them on this blog, if ever, but if I do I'll have a lot of fun since I like to talk about the proportions of the figures... "Atlaga is HUGE." "Migol is ROUND." Just a preview.


On another note: Even though I'm on highspeed Internet in America, I still can't bear to navigate the voluminous pages of forums. - Can someone please link me to the tournament report where the Dividers won that I read about on the main page? - Also a link to where the rest...

Though it was quite cool to see this today, Wave 9 Info from House Mouse, I realized later that there will be no new (9th) Elf Wizard in Wave 9.





Which makes it all quite bittersweet.


Unless Kumiko is a dual-class elf ninja/wizard. Valguard got a new lizard arm on Valhalla. It's possible. It says she was "trained." Makes it sound rather recent.

Keep hoping,

Borrowing a name from one of my favorite old fake wrestling events, the Heroscape Battle Royale is underway.

Apparently it's not as popular as I thought it would be, but even if you didn't enter you can still go and vote.

It's a lot of fun, not just the voting but the reactions to the votes. I'm also in it for the prizes as I still need Agent Skahen.

It's the top link every day here.
