Re: The Book of The Varja

Well I think it's safe to say the 4th Mass absolutely hate this guy. They'll have to move and lose WTF to even try to hit him. Then he can just disengage to try his order marker thing, stop 2 spaces away and pop another 4th figure. Great job on this one C3V, nothing can stop this guy. Not even X17. This guy has the potential to be my all time favorite figure.

    No. Johnny "Shotgun" Sullivan needs line of sight to the targeted figure's hitzone to use this attack. (Grungebob)

How can that be correct? Here's what Johnny says:

And here's what the rulebook says:

If Johnny only needs a clear sight shot, then Johnny only needs to "see any part of [the] figure that [he] wants to affect (including gray non-Hit Zones)." It's right there in black and white.

If this doesn't mean exactly what it says, then can somebody explain to me what it does mean?

Re: The Book of The Varja

I think it's just a matter of inconsistent wording on older cards. "Line of sight" and "clear sight" were being used interchangeably on early Explosion attacks, even though they're two different meanings. Heroscape has always been reliant on outside rulings more than other games because of its more simplified/less formal rules language.

Which has, of course, resulting in some issues with recent C3V releases - do you try and stick to the official-but-inconsistent wording or create new versions that are further from the Hasbro releases? It's a hard tightrope to walk.

Re: The Book of The Varja

Doesn't changing it to line of sight make the sentence pointless? Surely Craig or Rob or whoever put those sentences there for a reason?

EDIT: Okay, I just got it through my thick skull. They meant "line of sight" instead of "clear sight" and also meant for the word "only" to make it clear that the other figures didn't require LOS, not to exempt the need for LOS in the actual targeting. "Only the chosen figure requires LOS" (an intended clarification) rather than "The chosen figure requires only clear sight" (a rule override). Big difference! So it's really just an intended clarification that went awry through fuzzy terminology and ambiguous word order. Wow. I took this sentence at face value the first time I read it years ago, and never questioned it until today.

@dok and @CT actually explained this, but somehow I missed that they were pointing me to the adjacent figures. Thanks for the eye-opener guys. Again I find out I've played this game wrong for 8 years. Wow.

Okay, back to The Varja. I'll go strike the errors off my list.

Re: The Book of The Varja

Part of the confusion over the base could be because the information in the C3V public miniature information thread lists him as single spaced on a D3 base. I was really thrown off when the book listed double space because I have been looking at that thread for a few years now Great design, I can't wait to try him out. Thanks again for all your hard work C3V.

No the figure used is from Savage Encounters and it was determined by the ERB and the design team that it is best on a D&D Large Single Base.

This picture is incorrect then? He looks like he fits perfectly fine on a single space. I know mine's does (when I cut his base).



I think you have the second one. I have both, the one with two hands down is HUGE and has to be on a double space. The second one has one hand up (the official one) and is like half the size of him and fits easily on a single base.


Megasilver is correct, the smaller Nightwalker figure from Savage Encounters was chosen for this design, for its better price and more availability at the time of design. When the figure was announced in the Miniature announcement thread, it was announced as a single large D&D base.


The wrong figure is the one from Giants of Legends, which is the one with both arms down...that one does not fit on a large base and is much bigger than the one from Savage Encounters.


OP is corrected.

He's a single space figure. The OP, the photos and our mini announcement were correct. Sherman, however, is not.

Is a large D&D base bigger than a Deathwalker 9000 base?

It's quite a bit bigger, it still works, but if you are on weird terrain, or near castle pieces, it can get weird. It overlaps a tiny bit on adjacent hexes. Same base as Augamo, if you have him.

Due to an internal miscommunication, I was mistaken here; the Varja was playtested as a single-spaced figure. Sorry for any confusion I caused.
