I'm cool with WWI Germans-- I've always had a sneaking admiration for the Kaiser's Germany.

Just give us an Alvin York and/or Audie Murphy...

Maybe Davy Crockett, too.

Brunakor does make a good point about deterring new collectors, and I would rather see the Kaiser's army anyway. Yay spiked helmets!

The best thing would be a squad of barbarians! I'm serious, they'd have really cool abilities, high attack but low defense. They'd be a unique squad.

Oh and random idea. Why doesn't hasbro make a squad of 5? Also, we need more pairs. The zettian guards are the only squad with 2 figures in it.

like I said ^^^^random idea.

Huns, mounted of course. With bows. Make them cost a lot.

Something like Welsh mercenary bowman and Irish mercenary pikeman to expand the medieval theme. After all, feudal Japan has a pretty expansive (comparitively) force, why not expand some others?

Dragoons, preferably from the American Revolution.

Militia/Farmers with Guns, from the American Revolution.

Saracens, which I actually think is a good guess at what may be coming down the tubes. The Templars need someone to fight.

Arabs on Camels, either wielding scimitars or rifles.

Lithuanian WWII Soldiers. In German uniforms, using German weapons, but don't represent the same things.

Zulu Warriors

7th Cavalry rescued from the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

Sioux Warriors, appropriately wielding better guns than the cavalry.

Exterminator, as the ultimate Anti-Aquilla unit.

17. a Chimera

18. a Basilisk

19. a unique squad of six similar Deathwalkers (1k-6k)

20. a magic user from the human world like Merlin.

21. a ninja hero wilding a kusari-gama with a range of two, but considered melee (probably in the format of a special attack).

22. a unique squad of blind archers. Smaller range, like five, but they do not need line of sight.

More Vipers, maybe some more Priamadons and something else from grut...

I still think that the fact that the biggest robot is barely taller than an average guy is ridiculus. I want a Jotun sized GIANT robot. Oh, and Galactus and Onslaught.

The thing I regret most is that this thread won't be viewed byt the designers of HS, so we probably won't get what we want. However, custom artists will benefit from this thread!

AS for another idea, how about high tech aliens? Well nevermind. We have marro and vipers at war already.

How about the Ottomans?

Here's an idea, we get someone with enough pull to put the bug in the designer's ear. Someone has to have connections.

Sweet. Question is, who though?

Someone has to know a way to contact the game designers. If we can't find someone who has pull with the game designers we could always have the members of this site form a mob outside Heroscape headquarters and make demands. I doubt we will have to resort to that though. Most designers join these kind of forums just to see what the masses are thinking anyway. You never know, I could be one of those guys.

For that matter, consider the way the Japanese treated their POWs. They were treated worse in my eyes, but certainly nearly as bad as the Jewish. At least the Germans respected American and European POWs. And with your line of reasoning, won't children who play as a guy with a sword killing other humans grow up to be a cereal killer? See, doesn't that sound ridiculous?

Note: I do not in any way condone the Holocaust. I just do not see German soldiers any more controversial than most other human troops on Heroscape.

Ha!!! Killer of Cereal

And yes, in Army Men, the tan soldiers were supposed to be the Germans

But I do NOT want any KKK in this game
