Re: Horned Skull Brutes Pre-Release Discussion Thread

This could potentially work very well against a melee opponent, but it won't work well against ranged figures. Against melee, you will have the option of scurrying adjacent to a figure that's...

Re: Competitive Heroscape dominated by A+?

Sidebars do a couple things that I agree are positives:
Increase the viability of some counter-figures (repulsors, Warriors of Ashra, etc)
Reduce the likelihood of a drastically slanted matchup...

Re: Competitive Heroscape dominated by A+?

I don't know, but it seems to me like a simple solution is to always incorporate some kind of side-bar in tournaments. I believe that it has already been used with some success at a previous gen-con....

I am just against stagnation. I don't want folks to feel obligated to bring one or more of the A's in order to have a chance at winning. Before you go to the hassle of trying to prove that there is...

Re: Horned Skull Brutes Pre-Release Discussion Thread

I don't want to see Raelin banned. I think doing so might actually break the game balance since certain already competitive builds which don't currently make much use of her (4th, knights, etc.)...

Re: Master of the Hunt Pre-Release Discussion Thread

Depends on how strict your definition of range is. The hydra has a range of 2 (sort of), and when unwounded gets 4 normal attacks of 4.

Also, a wounded Evar can potentially have a higher normal...

Re: A Melee Perspective on the HeroScape Power Rankings

Interesting list. I'm surprised the Ogre Warhulk didn't rank higher. I'd imagine that against melee, he'd be pretty frightening.

Bugbears and Orcs for me. Though I'd really rather have 3 copies.

Re: Mezzodemon Warmongers - What's your army idea?

At 24 figures plus 12 markers and 7 additional life from cell divide you need an average of 43 successful hits against defense 3 to take this army down. If they took 1 1/2 average hits consistently...

Re: PreNovember PreRelease D&D Wave 3 Speculation & Informat

So now that all the cards have been revealed, how does everyone think the units will rate in terms of competiveness in a typical double blind tourney setting.

Here's how I'd rank them:

Re: Heroscape Power Rankings (GenCon 2010 Response)

Against range, the 4th are much better then the 10th.

Against melee, the 10th are much better then the 4th. The ablitiy to move and still get attacks of 3 should not be underestimated.

Re: Moltenclaw Pre-Release Discussion Thread

This was the first think that popped in my head when I read his card too. If that's how you count spaces for Mimring because he is a two hex fig then one would assume if Motlenclaw targeted a two...

Re: Moltenclaw Pre-Release Discussion Thread

I think he'll prove to be worth his cost. On a per life basis, he's actually slightly cheaper then Mimring.

Re: Death Chasers of Thesk - What's your army idea?

As a radical riff to my previous army what about:

Warhulk x 3 450
Death Chasers 505

The idea here is that you're spending 55 points on the deathchasers simply to give you activation...

Re: Death Chasers of Thesk - What's your army idea?

At 515 I like:

Death Chasers x 3 - 165
Nerak - 215
Ogre Warhulk x 2 - 515

I think the Warhulk is an underrated figure, and having 2 on the board to pick from with each O.M. would be...

Re: Death Chasers of Thesk Pre-Release Discussion Thread

Let's compare them to the Heavies.

Each Death Chaser is worth 18.5 points which makes them more expensive on per figure basis then a 17.5 point Heavy.

They've got 1 more attack and 1 less...

Re: Mezzodemon Warmongers Pre-Release Discussion Thread

These guys probably have the greatest variance in capability of any unit in the game between facing a special attack/non special attack heavy opponent. Even more so then a gobblin/brute army.

Re: PreNovember PreRelease D&D Wave 3 Speculation & Informat

I think I would. Don't forget that he's got range!

Also, though he's got less life, he's also harder to hit when frost rage is active as long as he's got a few wounds.

His size means he lacks...
