This is their thread. They do tournaments 4-6 times a year, although they just had one 2 weeks ago.

There are some generals that do not have any soulborg cards yet. The only generals that do have soulborgs are Jandar, Utgar and Vydar. Which generals are missing any soulborgs are Aquilla, Einar and Ullar, those general do have any soulborgs yet. Did anyone have any ideas on adding any soulborgs for those generals, Valkrill got away with the C3V Vulcanmech Incendiborgs. Just wondering if there soulborgs for Aquilla, Einar and Ullar.

I don't know about the ones in C3V's pipeline, but in general those 3 generals don't really have a theme that ties in Soulborgs very well. Aquilla has the Maredians that are straight up against soulborgs.

Agree with @TREX on Maredians being Aquilla's answer to Soulborgs, and I don't see Ullar having Soulborgs. For Einar or Aquilla, I cold see more "power armor/exosuits" than Soulborgs and was already suggested the answer would be Battleball figures (also good for Jandar, Utgar, Valkrill):

You can buy on eBay or BoardGameGeek Market for $10-20 (plus shipping) fairly easily, and honestly this is way easier to get than buying individual figures for most C3V releases, even buying 2 copies. We need some more Mariedians and Soulborg figures, so these are decent options. You can even make customs that use 6, 8, 10, or 12 sided dice for a power. Not to mention, anyone who buys can play Advanced Battleball by @mrbistro .



P.S. I second @surerfrog's link to Before Heroscape - the best post on this entire site.

And they fit right in with the stickers removed (could even make new custom stickers with Vydar logos etc). Theyre too perfect NOT to use, particularly the "squads" that don't have human faces.

I don't remember any SoulBorgs currently in the announced miniatures that look like they belong to another general. Aquilla would definitely be strange for SoulBorgs, but I could see the theme working if they're the earliest SoulBorgs before Alpha Prime fell.

A SoulBorg "legion" of soldiers also fits Einar almost perfectly. I've seen some customs turning the Star Wars battle droids from Episode 1 into his SoulBorgs, which I think works pretty well.

As for Ullar, I don't have the faintest idea. All of his stuff is so tied to nature that I feel like any kind of SoulBorg faction would feel really strange, unless it's just one offshoot machine that's overgrown with plant-life or something.

[Heroscaper 101]

We could have more army cards that come from the planet Isadora. The classic heroscape has Warden 816 that came from that planet. I like that the custom heroscape has Mariedian, Raptorian and other species.

[Astroking112]

Keep in mind that this is the Q&A thread for official HeroScape only, not custom projects. While seeing more units from places like Isadora would've been neat, that's unfortunately not something that the original designers were able to get to before the game ended production.

. . . but nothing is stopping you from designing units from whatever home world your heart desires. Isadora, Grut, Earth, Mars, Betelgeuse, whatever.

[Astroking112]

Absolutely. I didn't mean to imply that anyone should refrain from doing those things, if that's how my post came across. I just didn't want to derail this thread.

[Heroscaper 101]

I do wonder if anyone had the idea of bringing a old classic back to Ullar. The species is Eladrin or Half-Elf, the class might be Battlemage or Ranger and the personality. Does the Firebolg fit the Ullar theme.
