Re: C3V Pre-Release Speculation Thread.
An unspecified number of these guesses are correct to an unspecified degree of accuracy...
This is interesting indeed. Last edited by superfrog; April 6th, 2013 at 06:00 PM. Reason: and Viegon is at a tourney today in Pittsburgh. I couldn't go... :( |

Re: C3V Pre-Release Speculation Thread.
I'm thinking the Ebon Armor will have some sort of Unique Squad movement bonding.
My Reasons, Several people have mentioned that they work well with the Izumi They're Bio makes them out to be guards, and the Izumi are the best Unique Squad for Guarding and Screening. |

Re: C3V Pre-Release Speculation Thread.
When I hear the name "Ebon Armor", it makes me think about an object that an other unit could wear. Well that look a little strange to use in HS... ^^
Perhaps a defensive spirit? |

Re: C3V Pre-Release Speculation Thread.
If it was something like DanielLoche thinks then my guess would be that you can place them on a Unique Squad to be extra defense/exoskeleton markers. I'm worried about the Krav though so I assume they either don't boost Unique Squads at all or they have some sort of obvious stipulation like Melee Unique Squad bonding.

Re: C3V Pre-Release Speculation Thread.
Those are some pretty cool ideas for the Ebon Armor. I kinda wish they were coming out this wave.
But what about all the new Varks? They would take up two packs out of a wave, plus part of a Hero Pack. Will they receive their own special release? Or... could VC be working on a new Master Set?!? It's a crazy idea, but who knows what they could be planning in the Inner Sanctum? |

A new master set would be amazing. I remember in an article on HeroScape color wheel theory that a Master Set focusing highly on Aquilla would be likely, since she didn't have a lot of units at the time, but that was ages ago; If a new one came out from VC, which would be amazing, but highly unlikely, I'd like to see a focus on Aquilla and Valkrill, just like Rise of the Valkyrie focused primarily on Utgar and Jandar; just a sprinkling of the other generals. Of course, it'd be insanely difficult, and have no terrain, but they could include maps, scenarios, maybe even some terrain obstacles from other games (Dungeon Crawler tentacles, Confrontation walls, etc.). If only we had those original terrain molds... I predict that the Ebon Armor will have a defensive power for themselves and nearby small/medium figures; something like auto-shields or re-rolled defense dice. |

Re: C3V Pre-Release Speculation Thread.
I think if a new Master Set was in the cards, they'd have saved the Cathar and the Eilan Sidhe for it in order to list the two Confrontation Sets as the source.
Three Vark Heroes Four Vark Squads Count Raymond Five Common Squads That'd be a total of 32 figures along with some nice terrain bits and a ton of dice, along with some variety of General (the remaining Varks presumably being all Aquilla, the distribution would be 7 Aquilla cards, 3 Einar cards, 3 Ullar cards). It's still possible they'd go in the "Unofficial Master Set" direction, but it seems like the most obvious clues aren't there. In retrospect, I think the Ram Army Box + Wolfen Army Box would have had an awesome Master Set base. It'd have a solid Utgar presense, a ton of units for Aquilla and Valkrill (the "new" Generals), and enough thematic synergy to design a solid scenario around. Too bad the Ram Army Box is so scarce now, though. ANYWAYS! One thing I'm wondering about is the alignment for the remaining Jonah Hex units. Garret seems like he could fit with any of the "darker" generals other than Valkrill, so Einar, Vydar, or Utgar. "TBN Jonah Hex Figure" has grey and yellow, so he seems like an obvious fit with Aquilla, but I'm most interested in the female included... I get a very Aquilla feel from her, as well, but I'm not sure why. The Cowboys are one "faction" I have complete from Pre-Custom HeroScape, so I'm excited to finally see them getting new additions. I'm wondering if they'll preserve their "non-bonding low-synergy hero" feel or try and tie them together... JOHNNY139'S CLASSIC CUSTOM THREAD! | Visit now!

Re: C3V Pre-Release Speculation Thread.
Excellent point, jonny139, I hadn't thought of that. Out of sheer curiosity, which would you prefer for Garret: A general-type unit, or another stand-alone Hero?

Re: C3V Pre-Release Speculation Thread.
Indeed some are unspecified degree of accuracy up to a point really close to what they are, really surprising actually.

Re: C3V Pre-Release Speculation Thread.
I dunno... part of me wants to make them more usable in more competitive builds, but I think I'd prefer they stay with the standalone feel. My games are pretty far down on the casual spectrum, so the cowboys are still viable drafts even without a commander.

Re: C3V Pre-Release Speculation Thread.
So, we have some names for future figures. Some from public playtesting thread and some from points and rewards of C3V members.
Spoiler Alert!
