Re: Unit Debate #5 -- Templar Cavalry Vs. Grok Riders

I wrote up a comparison (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=18575) of these guys a while ago.

Bottom line? You can get two squads of valiant Templars for 240. For double Groks...

Re: Gladiatrons cyberclaw w/ multiple figures

There's your problem right there.

Take common sense out of the equation. It really does not help even a tiny, tiny bit.

Re: Heroscape Power Rankings

Like the Tagawa Samurai Archers, the 10th are at their best in a street fight where opposing forces are mixed together in large numbers. Against enemies who don't care to get close, the redcoats are...

Re: Heroscape Power Rankings

To me, Otonashi's B+ ranking springs from the use of Tricky Speed to delay enemy progress.

On many tournament maps, 10 move will get you to a glyph (particularly good when Summon and Intercept...

Re: Heroscape Power Rankings

The other problem with ultra-fine rankings is that dice can blow out such subtle distinctions in single games, or even two or three games.

Yesterday I played two games against the same opponent...

Re: Good 300 point armies?

I think 290/11 in a team game is worthy of having its own thread, at least a temporary one.

210 Braxas
080 Rats x2
290/10

Rats instead of Raelin because they can block for your opponent as...

Re: Should Marvel be allowed in the GenCon Main Event

I don't go to GenCon, so it doesn't affect me one way or the other. Just tossing in two more cents in favor of the un-banning of Marvel on philosophical grounds!

Re: How do I effectively use multiple Common Squads?

Choosing between the three options you mention is part of the skill of playing the game. There's no one easy answer.

On one level, moving forward in a mob is the best. When you lose figures, you...

Re: What competitive units are you sick of seeing at tournam

Up here in the Pacific Northwest, Raelin and Knights/Gilbert are all I'm tired of seeing. I play 'trons, but I've never run into another group of them. Rats aren't oppressive. The 10th show up as...

Re: Do they suck? Or could they be good?

1. Non-bonding Mimring. I hardly ever use him without his Arrow Grut buddies, and I probably should. On many maps, he still has the best chance of anyone to strike the opponent's starting zone....

Re: Heroscape Power Rankings

I'm just afraid that many will see Stingers as the "safe" option left among the top units and we'll see more and more of them.[/quote]

I think you're right to call them more a safe choice than a...

I've been thinking about taking an anti-wave-9 army to the Slugfest (600pts, 30 hex start zones), and what it would entail. Warriors of Ashra are right up there. Samurai too.[/quote]

Re: New help now- Wo Sa Ga vs. Microcorps

I would agree that Sujoah vs. Microcorp Agents is the answer. WSG gets two wounds through. The Agent rolls for stealth armor. If it goes off, he's saved and Coil Crush does not trigger. If it fails,...

Re: Heroscape Power Rankings

If people are seriously going to start bringing Capuans/heroes and Migol/dwaves to tournaments, the Warriors of Ashra would benefit. How'd you like to show up at a tournament with your mighty...

Re: Cookie Cutter Army Discussion and Tiers

Minions don't want to see a bonding Migol or a bonding, Inspired Crixus coming at them. I think they just got pushed a little farther down the melee heap. (Then maybe Atlaga puts them back where they...

Re: Tul-Bak-Ra in a Hole.

Re: Heroscape Power Rankings

I have very little previous board gaming experience to draw upon, but in my opinion most Heroscapers fall into this category.

Re: Hiding Figures in Nooks and Crannies

Overhangs aren't so bad as long as there's a normal space next to the cranny so a normal-sized figure can get adjacent. It's only after they grow past a certain size that you run into problems.

Re: Wave 9 spoilers complete. Your thoughts.

WAVE THEMES
1. Rougher, tougher bonding heroes. Many bonding targets lack striking power of their own. Those who can hit hard often can't take a hit in return. Spartacus, Crixus, and Migol now make...
