Bill Rawley, Hasbro’s lead designer on Ghostbusters… he couldn’t help himself and started sketching out penguins with machine guns when he heard the myth.

There will be samples highlighted in the assets on Saturday.

Who?
I like Valkrill... but I think the "who" is more of a "better just move on at this point"
It’s a very thoughtful and protracted conversation this community needs to have, but it’s not a discussion for today.
One day he's gonna have to sit us all down and tell us that our dog died
I wish the topic of Valkrill was that simple.

The best solution right now, is just to ice the topic until we can get alittle further down field with the relaunch. He just holds a ton of complicated baggage with him, asymmetrical lore, licensed units.
In other words... No Valkrill in the initial release. Neither in lore nor in gameplay. But the possibility still exists in the long term. Would've been so much easier to just say that from the start.
(This is the first time he's so much as acknowledged Valkrill's possible existence.)

Why is his name "bookburner"?

Not today's reveal, but a reveal all the same.

As the very first member of the Frostclaw Paladins to rise to the rank of Knight Primus, Adelbern has displayed his mastery of melee combat on countless battlefields across both Noxdorma and now Valhalla. Pulverizing enemies of the Clockwork Combine with his power maul, Knight Primus Adelbern plows through ranks of combatants almost effortlessly, focusing his primal strength and resolve on targeted leaders of the enemy forces while smashing aside any would-be defenders foolish enough to stand in his path of destruction.

The Ordo tirelessly trains their aspirants in restraint, patience and teamwork to subdue enemies of much greater scale, weakening them from distance with their harpoon canons before their adversaries can close the gap and inflict damage on Jandar’s forces. If their opponents should reach their lines, those same restrained claws and teeth are quick to reveal themselves, presenting the difficult choice of how the Ordo Borealis’ enemies wish to fall in battle on Valhalla. (say it out loud: "Polar Bear Mounted Harpoon Canons" This is why I love this brand.)

I just noticed, for the first time, that the Designer's Notes are in *3 digits*. I am now wondering if they will continue past the panel on Saturday. Or perhaps they will just pick them up again when they start teasing the future "seasons" of releases.

Note: The Ordo Borealis's file name is "Can_I_Get_One_As_A_Pet". More importantly, though:

So wait, the Haslab and the presentation will go live at the same time! Big news!!
Same time!
Haslab goes live during the panel.
At least that's what Pulse is telling me today.

A strange thing to request, and a strange thing to obsserve.

Someone asked for a uselessly cryptic image, and got exactly that.

Today's update. Only one more of these to go before the big reveal.

Oberon is unique among the Combine’s knights, rejecting the disciplined teachings of the Ordos, and instead embracing the primal gifts of his species to make war. Off the battlefield, he is a pragmatist and natural born leader, even a trusted advisor within Jandar’s war council. On the battlefield, he is a whirlwind of utter destruction, with an unpredictable fighting style, few opponents can counter or even survive against. His slashing battle claws are relentless implements of death, and his incredible speed seems almost impossible given his overwhelming size.

We are working through "ladder compatibility" on the new bases.

...which from a technical standpoint, is sort of insane.

Your energy and feedback has provided the Avalon Hill team strength as we sprinted to October 1st, and given us confidence that what we are creating meets the expectations of our fans. Tomorrow is an incredible opportunity for all of us to return Heroscape to the world, please consider supporting this initiative. I will therefore end our 52 day prelude to the HASLAB campaign, with a concept piece which I consider the most obvious trophy of this community's constructive conversation... enjoy with a smile, and a hope for this brand's future. In addition, to celebrate ahead of tomorrow's event, here are two of the full-color artwork pieces that will bring to life Valhalla on each army card, providing that request so many of you made during these past weeks. THANK YOU HEROSCAPERS.

https://hasbropulse.com/collections/...nguard-edition

$250, needs 8000 backers for production. There is only one option for buy in, it includes everything. You can buy up to 5 per person.

71 figures, 50 units. 2 are exclusive figures for the Haslab campaign.

74 terrain pieces, looks like is also comes with pieces similar to FotA and TJ. The water will be sparkly. I see Grass, Rock, and Sand.

The SotM heroes are stretch goals and are extras that will be included if they get enough extra backers. we need 16,000 to get them all.
