If you could buy HS terrain alone, it would probably be the industry standard for gaming for the foreseeable future, to the point where other manufacturers forego making terrain for their games and intend for you to just go buy Hasbro's.

These are great thoughts...the 3d terrain could be have been sold separately which would have been a good test in Haslabs. Although it`d be expensive.

Sorry for the double post!

I’ve been keeping that Terragon Gaming tab open. I’d prefer to be able to add on to my existing hex collection but won’t rule out going after hexes in a different way.

Xenithrax BETTER be OP those wings alone have to nerf her quite a bit, you think it’s hard to place Nilfheim down? That lady’s gonna need at least three spaces between her and any LOS blockers to place down.

Her. Xenithrax is female... whatever that actually means for a creature made out of cosmological energies.

Well, if old scape is any indication on how the design team treats lady dragons, we should be praying for our squads.

Sorry, my original post had incorrect information.

Wow, was that really the response? I find that to be a really short-sighted and close-minded attitude. Heroscape might never have stopped production in the first place if terrain-only products, which could have acted to subsidize the game itself, had been available back in the day.

Apologies! I went back and scoured the discord to find the exact quote and it looks like the statement wasn't from an employee and thus I can't verify its authenticity. I've deleted my original post. Sorry for the confusion.

Huh, never thought of that....

Gods only know how much money I spent on eBay back in 2010-2011 buying Heroscape terrain and more terrain.

Yep - I bought several "incomplete" master sets just to get the terrain (e.g., missing a few figures or cards or etc. - one set a dog had tried to eat one 24 hex and a few figures [for a change Grimnak got chomped] for around $20 and it turned out to have sparkly water).
