Death Chasers
I took another look at death chasers... and evolved them. The reason is that I looked at the Ogre Warhulk and the Ogre Pulverizer against their heroes and saw that they were not very...

Re: Heroscape: Legacy
Thanks for the feedback everyone.
You guys were right, The Einar Emperium were too cheap. I'm moving them back to up to 100. The good news is that at this price 3xEI, Kiova, and Raelin costs 500...

Hmm. Thats a good point about the MacDirks, they probably aren't worth that much.
With a little reflection the reason Alastair/Gilbert and co have such good power rankings is because they made a...

I don't know about a Spring edition. There was talk in that balance thread about yearly revision, and initially I had it in my head to do quarterly, but now I'm kind of undecided.
