WAVE 9 INFO from HouseMouse

[dnutt99]

GREETINGS FROM HOUSE MOUSE GAMES!!!
YOUR SOURCE FOR ALL THINGS HEROSCAPE!!!

Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro have given all of us HeroScapers a summer full of HEROSCAPE delights!!!

Late May will see the much-anticipated re-release of

WAVE 1 MALLIDON’S PROPHECY

We expect these sets to arrive by Memorial Day (late-May)

Now is your chance to stock up on THE IX ROMAN LEGION, GRUT ORCS, SNIPERS and VIPERS, and HEROES OF BLEAKWOODE.

Late June will bring

WAVE 9 BLACKMOON’S SEIGE

Wave 9 will include 1 UNIQUE pack and 3 COMMON packs.

Braves and Brawlers: The Mohican River Tribe lie in wait, blend in with their surroundings, and pick off their approaching enemies with pinpoint accuracy. But face to face, they truly come alive, fighting with furious might. The Capuan Gladiators are ready to charge forward at their leader’s side to land the first blow of any battle. This pack includes 6 painted figures and 2 army cards.

Dwarves and Repulsors: Stout and fearless, no opponent can intimidate the Axegrinders of Burning Forge. Determined and calculating, they sweep over the battlefield and lay waste to all manner of beasts and villains. Only the Soulborg can defeat the Soulborg. Therein lies the power of the Omnicron Repulsors. With Repulsors on your side, you will shutdown your opponents’ Soulborg traitors. This pack includes 7 painted figures and 2 army cards.

Dividers and Defenders: The ranks of your Marro Dividers are seemingly endless. Your opponents try to cut them down, only to see them duplicate and come back stronger than ever! Ullar’s elite Protectors are masters of teamwork. They patrol the skies and strike fear in even the most powerful heroes with focused attacks from lethal crossbows. This pack includes 6 painted figures and 2 army cards.

Heroes of the Moon Tribe: Migol Ironwill swings his dwarven war hammer with earth-shattering might. Brave Arrow of the Mohicans stealthily tracks down his foes. Atlaga soars high and carries the deadly Bolt of the Witherwood. Kumiko, trained in the lethal art of ninjutsu, savages enemies with a barrage of flurrying blows. Marro overlord Tul-Bak-Ra uses his advanced alien powers to teleport himself - and his troops – across the battlefield. This pack includes 5 painted figures and 5 army cards.

These sets will be available for pre-order by the end of May.

Wow! That sounds fantastic!

Common Dividers? That's crazy talk!

And Kumiko... the 15 point Jandar ninja?

[P_J_Keller]

Freakin awesome, although I am surprised to see a Marro squad in addition to the Marro Hero.

I'll be ordering my usual 6 sets in the end of May

Thanks Sandra

edit - so the Marro hero is an overlord and not a warlord - that kinda sucks

[Omnicron_Awesomeness]

Awesome! I actually saw this on the website and came here to see if there was a post yet!

All the descriptions sound excellent.

The only one I'm not so sure about is the group of gladiators. I was a little dissapointed that there wasn't a new gladiator hero to go with them, becuase:

1- Not everyone has Wave 5

2- The Gladiators in Wave 5 are HORRIBLE. I was hoping for an improvment.

On the positive side of things: This is very exciting and I'm glad to see WotC listened to us and is releasing some of the things we really wanted!

[cartographer of valhalla]

amazing. I need these packs. I'd kill to get them *maniacal laugh*

He might have some kind of powerful synergy that would be overpowered if he could bond with the Groks or Romans....

This was posted by Sandra in the Wave 9 thread...but it might deserve a thread all its own.

[Nukatha]

......WAHOO!!! This is sweet: multiplying marro (wait... is that really new?), dwarves, ullar kyrie squad, teleporting marro hero, AND NEW JANDAR SOULBORGS! I am happy.

(1 hour later):

I hate this lack of news. When will we get card scans or pictures of the figures?

Over in the other thread, Truth said he was going to try to get us something next week . . . but that was before Sandra gave us all this. Hopefully he was working on getting us something else.

Good! That 2 unique thing isn't great

Braves and Brawlers: The Mohican River Tribe lie in wait, blend in with their surroundings, and pick off their approaching enemies with pinpoint accuracy. But face to face, they truly come alive, fighting with furious might.

Haha! I was so totally right! Take that you Aquilla lovers! North-Eastern natives! Woo!

The Capuan Gladiators are ready to charge forward at their leader’s side to land the first blow of any battle.

Took them long enough to make more gladiators.

Dwarves and Repulsors: Stout and fearless, no opponent can intimidate the Axegrinders of Burning Forge. Determined and calculating, they sweep over the battlefield and lay waste to all manner of beasts and villains.

All manner of beasts and Villians? Aww...so they aren't the vydar steam punk warriors I was hoping for.

Only the Soulborg can defeat the Soulborg. Therein lies the power of the Omnicron Repulsors. With Repulsors on your side, you will shutdown your opponents’ Soulborg traitors.

This makes me very happy.

Dividers and Defenders: The ranks of your Marro Dividers are seemingly endless. Your opponents try to cut them down, only to see them duplicate and come back stronger than ever!

I think that the water clone power was great, so these guys are right up my ally.

Ullar’s elite Protectors are masters of teamwork. They patrol the skies and strike fear in even the most powerful heroes with focused attacks from lethal crossbows.

Ullar Kyrie!

Heroes of the Moon Tribe: Migol Ironwill swings his dwarven war hammer with earth-shattering might. Brave Arrow of the Mohicans stealthily tracks down his foes.

Nothing I didn't expect here.

Atlaga soars high and carries the deadly Bolt of the Witherwood. Kumiko, trained in the lethal art of ninjutsu, savages enemies with a barrage of flurrying blows.

Let's see...kyrie hero and a ninja? Cool enough.

Marro overlord Tul-Bak-Ra uses his advanced alien powers to teleport himself - and his troops – across the battlefield.

Ooooo, teleporters. Saylind has competition.

Comments in bold.

[demon_llama]

Thank you Sandra.

[ThrasherDarkrai]

Woohoo! Teleporting Marro! Now, for the rest:
Braves and Brawlers: Seems like Sparactus isn't going to be so useless, finally - also the ability that lets them get the first strike sounds interesting...
Dwarves and Repulsors: Predictably, the dwarves are heroic. Less predictably, the Repulsors sound like a much needed addition to the Omnicron force (and here I was beginning to think the Omnicrons were fighting a war with only snipers on their side...).
Dividers and Defenders: A common squad of Marro that use a version of Water Clone? Awesome! It's also about time that Ullar got his Kyrie onto the field for us to use.
Heroes of the Moon Tribe: Considering the name of the pack, I'm thinking that at least one of these heroes is under the banner of Aquilla, probably two. Also, I'll say it again... teleporting Marro!
