Fan Art Spotlight - March 2016

Posted March 22nd, 2016 at 01:32 PM by HS Codex

From the Desk of a Frostrager
A fan art spotlight
Author: Evar Scarcarver

Every month now, I must try and figure out what to write about that has a vaguely Heroscape theme that I can hopefully tie into whatever is going on in my life and/or whatever this month’s spotlighted piece of art is. It is quite an interesting process, that has mainly consisted of me staring at my computer screen (which shows a blank document) and trying to figure out what to write. Sometimes, I take a break from not writing to go and get a snack.

This month, I had chosen the spotlighted art well in advance, and contacted the artist to get their permission on using it with time to spare. Then, every day for the next week or so, I’d open up my blank document with the title at the top, and stare at it for a while. Normally, when I get to this stage, within an hour,

Classic 'Scape Strategy - February 2016

Posted February 6th, 2016 at 01:51 PM by HS Codex

Unit Strategy Review
Unit: Goblin Cutters
Author: Dysole


The Goblin Cutters live up to their name by being fast, fragile, and annoying as all get out to kill all of them. However, using the cutters is not immediately intuitive, and they require some finesse to squeeze every last ounce out of them. So today, we will be looking at the short little buggers. First, we will look at their stats.

Analyzed Statistics:
Size – Small (Concealable/Vulnerable)
Life – 1 (Squad)
Move – 6 (Fast)
Range – 1 (Melee)
Attack – 2 (Poor*)
Defense – 1 (Frail)
*Mob Attack: A figure engaged with 3 or more Cutters subtracts 2 from its defense when attacked by a Cutter. (Tactical Advantage: High)
*Scurry: If a Cutter dies to a normal attack, you may move 2 Cutters (and take no leaving engagement attacks)

Unit Strategy Review
Unit: Captain America
Author: marrowick


Analyzed Statistics
Life – 5 (3/5)
The average unit has anywhere from 4 to 6 life, and therefore his life number is nothing out of the norm.

Move – 6 (3/5)
The average unit has anywhere from 5 to 6 move, and therefore his move number is nothing out of the norm.

Range – 1 (Melee)

Attack – 6 (4/5)
The average unit has anywhere from 3 to 5 attack, so having 6 attack gives him a slight advantage.

Defense – 5 (3/5)
The average unit has anywhere from 3 to 5 defense, and therefore his defense number is nothing out the norm.

Overall stat consensus: (4/5)
While most of his stats are rated (3/5) they tend to be mostly on the top of the scale, which will allow him to be more versatile

HoSS Strategy - January 2016

Posted January 25th, 2016 at 07:43 PM by HS Codex

UnitStrategy Review
Unit: Tusken Raiders
Author: Fi Skirata


The Tusken Raiders are quarrelsome warriors of the sand who are highly suspicious of outsiders. Their mastery of the sand and ability to attack in overwhelming numbers help to make this melee squad a force to be reckoned with.

To understand how to best use the Tusken Raiders, you must first take a look at their stats:

Analyzed Statistics
Size – Medium (Average: they can use this to take advantage of bushes and low outcrops, but can be more vulnerable to some powers)
Life – 1 (Typical for a squad unit)
Move – 5 (Average: they will be able to keep up with the bulk of the army, but won’t
