Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!
It's looking like each faction gets a week for reveals, except Fridays, which are reserved for old school figures. After two consecutive weeks of tech, maybe it's time for a history break?

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!
I thought Pirate Captain Bonny was a reference to Ann Bonny an 18th century Irish pirate operating in the Caribbean. I think historical figures have already arrived.
Of course I could be wrong...that happened to me once. Just when you thought it was all right, someone made it alright. Good trades with - Porkins / xraine69 / mac122 (x2) / frylock / Ztimster (x2) and probably others I forgotten to mention...sorry. Last edited by AMIS; August 17th, 2022 at 04:55 AM.

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!
It might be a reference, but that's it. Isn't she one of the miniatures in the display? She looks more like a Warforged with her mask and has throwing knives, a laser pistol and a scifi-sword. At the most, historical only in the sense that Firefly depicts historical cowboys....
Jugger It's like football with swords or LARPing without the geeky stuff. In other words, it's awesomely perfect! |

As for the weapons, I'm pretty sure throwing knives were around in the 18th century. I've never heard of a scifi sword other than a lightsabre (the rest are just long pieces of sharp metal with a hilt, guard and occasional pommel) and that laser gun has a suspicious looking wooden handle. But I do get your point...folks would rather have true form historical figures be historically accurate. Me too. And I hope we get them, but that doesn't mean this isn't the beginning of the historical figures of the age of annihilation that we're getting.

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!
So as far as I can tell we've got three new factions so far:
Dawnraider Syndicate The Pirates and Their Captain (Sketches and Figure) Lifeborne Order The Big Dragon (Figure) Ironclad Collective The Cyborg Mechanoids (Sketches) |

Scrolling through the old notes, I see that the Avalon Hill rep noted that the Age of Annihilation is not necessarily a Master Set title. It may just be a general logo like "The Battle of All Time."

That's another point I haven't seen anyone mention. Any glyph power guesses? Will they reprint or rename old ones or come up with all new glyph powers? Upset City Baby. |

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!
Out of curiosity, when people are asking for "new terrain," do you guys mean freshly made tiles or different types of terrain?

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!
Bonny doesn't feel historical to me. Hasbro has shown that they can meld historical and tech together before. Sht Drake 1.0 always felt like a WW2 soldier to me, even though I don't think that is in his official bio. Sgt Drake 2.0 adds the robot arm, but he is clearly still the soldier that he has always been. Nothing about Bonny says pirate to me. If I hadn't been reading lore updates and this forum, I would never suspect that she was supposed to be a historical figure. It seems like a huge wasted potential. That could be literally anyone or anything behind that mask, or even an insectoid robot.
