And it’s a lot of plastic miniatures. Just not big, highly detailed ones like we’re seeing in AoA. But the same size as a lot of the heroes and squads of classic scape.

It seems like they really swung for the fences here and thought they had a bigger community than the one that made Heroquest a big success and we’d be all over these big, beautiful, high quality minis, but the high production cost has blurred the lines between what Heroscape used to be and what they envision it being.
heroquest’s presence in retail was predicated on its successful crowdfund campaign priming the pump.
