Week@HS Revival - Week #34

Posted February 24th, 2014 at 10:53 AM by truth

VC
The Boot Camp of Valhalla (BCoV), while not affiliated with the VC project, is a project with the goal to allow the community as a whole to design and playtest a unit to submit that unit to the SoV. French 'scaper Lyrgard initiated the idea, and it took off like a rocket. The first of the BCoV's units, the Kobolds of Idona Keep, is currently in the playtesting phase. Everyone's input is welcome, so give your thoughts on this project and the excellent custom it has created so far.




HoSS
Have you been wondering when HoSS will make it's next release. Waiting for the next pack to appear? Well your wait has almost ended! A pack of unconfirmed figures will be arriving before the end of the month. We don't know many details involving it's contents, but we were given one spoiler picture:


Custom of the Week
This week we're featuring two cards from Superfrog: Peregar the Falconer and his loyal Mirthan Falcons! Peregar acts as a commander for the Falcons, letting them act as a semi-squad. The Falcons are stealthy little buggers, with Stealth Flying, Stealth Dodge, and a special attack that lets them return to Peregar's side after the attack.



Be sure to see more of his work in his thread!


Map of the Week
This week we bring you a map from our Promising Cartographer, Robber!

Platypus is a map that requires: 1 (one) Swarm of the Marro master set, 1 Ticalla Jungle terrain expansion set and 1 Thaelenk Tundra terrain expansion set.

Although Platypus looks a little... environmentally unstable it is sure to bring you a magnificent game-play experience with its line of sight blockers, as well as its thrown together concept of an icy bog wasteland. To view more of Robber's maps you can visit his map thread here. Or, you can also build the map: Platypus by clicking here.

Looks like Grand Moff Tarkin, I believe from Star Wars.

There's a newer version of Peregar than the one posted here. He should only have 4 defense.

Don't think so elvenwizard9, no way they can finish playtesting it (which just started again), do art and all that in four days.

Grand Moff Tarkin is one of my favorite Star Wars characters so I'd be hyped to see him released. Just add in Lando and I'm set!

Re: Week@HS #34

Whooohooo... it always GREAT to see a new WEEK @ HeroScapers to know that this community like its namesake game, ain't dead.

I've got to get Peregar and a couple of falcons, he reminds me of Kurrock the Environmentalist and his manipulative control over the elements; except this guy is on the side of goodness and mercy and not that evil dude, Utgar. What figures did you use to create him? And I hope the C3V will someday put their stamp of approval upon this design.

And I also love the map. I never thought of putting Ice and Snow together with Swamp and Jungle. I guess I'm too much of a cartographic realist.

@ elvenwizard9: This is an SSE (Super Secret/Slow Exclusive) Release. AT-ST's are not ready yet. But we think this release will bring some fun new things to play with. We're trying to get it done to make our goal of releasing today. We are real close, just trying to pin everything down on one late addition unit.

@Johngee:

Thanks for your kind words about Peregar. My initial inspiration came from Scytale's Ariana/ravens faction. The figures used are from the upcoming Pathfinder release, which should be coming out pretty soon.
