Figure Suggestions for WOTC post your thoughts (summary pg1)

[YoYoCheese]

There are a lot of things I would like to see in Heroscape.

-War elephants
-Spartans
-Zulu warriors
-Modern military equipment (mainly I just want tanks and possibly battle copters)
-Give us Cyprien's skeleton cavalry already! (some skeleton soldiers would be nice too)
-A necromancer (possibly the one from the Zombies' description)
-A Frankenstein-style monster
-A witch (I'm talking about the old, hideous, broomstick-riding witches with pointy hats.)
-An elderly wizard (I'm thinking something similar to Gandalf from LotR.)
-"Grey" aliens possibly with a UFO (you know, with the big black eyes and bald heads that you think of whenever you hear of Area 51 or Roswell)
-Pirates
-The Kraken
-Artillery
-A Giant Enemy Crab (it must be done!)
-I really think it would be neat if Heroscape had a siege tower that could be used by small or medium figures to get to the top of a castle (the towers would be destroyable of course, just like the door and wall)

I would also like the following, but I highly doubt either of them will ever see the light of day (at least not officially)

-Naval Units (boats, submarines, etc.) - These wouldn't work for the obvious fact that they would need lots of water on every map. (A flying ship (like the one in the Rainbow Cruise level of Super Mario 64 for instance) might work though.)
-Nazis (Wouldn't work because it would probably offend too many people, even if they were given to Utgar (which they would, I couldn't see them going with Valkrill))
-Fighter jets (They're too fast and can't maneuver well enough for the typical Heroscape battlefield, plus they fly so high that melee units (and most ranged units too I imagine) wouldn't be able to reach them.

I love the suggestions of vehicles or siege towers - elements sorely missed in the current game. Characers riding larger animals would also be great. And the whole Grimnak size debate? Can't he just be riding a smaller dinosaur like a Raptor as opposed to an actual T-Rex? C'mon WotC - we want bigger creatures like BIG dinosaurs, elephants, bears and over-sized arachnids...

I almost forgot! I was also going to suggest more wild beasts for Aquilla, such as lions, tigers, bears (oh my), bulls (I think they could be fun.), etc. More giant insects would be cool too.

I was thinking recently about common melee squads and themed armies, and I realized I really want a Barbarian squad. Perhaps an 80 point/4 figure/4 attack/2 defense squad with berserker charge. That would do it.

And orcs on Pterodactyl back, so they can hold up in castle battles. A hero and a unique squad

I'm sorry to tell you, but this thread is useless...

So the new answer to the question is "Anything."

How 'bout a figure with it's head up it's butt called "Wizard of the Coast." It could have the power to destroy all non-DnD terrain and figures opn the board! That's kinda sad actually....
