Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

Excited to be getting back into Heroscape (thanks to ScapeCon) weeks before this announcement went live!

Time to get that sweet sweet lore

MegaSliver, Thanks for the photo

The high quality of the paint jobs worries me. Does appear that these will be unpainted and aimed at the hobby market.

However due to the paint job and the different colored bases, I'm going to guess this all comes unpainted.
I'm not so sure. They look to be about Mage Knight quality. I just can't imagine they will ship unpainted figures but who knows in today's environment.

Agreed, because I don't see any squads. But what a way to introduce an upcoming edition! Very much looking forward to finding out more, especially with the mention that Hasbro is "all in".

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

I would be fine with no squads this time.
Hero is in the name.

Just a theory on my end, but those orcish-looking characters with the heavy weapons seem to share a design theme so they might be one of the squads

Do you think a company would display a "regular" paint job when revealing a brand new game?

I'm sure the AotP plans walkers looked spectacular at gencon and we all know how they ended up looking

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

Awesome news to come home to! Looking forward to learn more over the coming days.

Fingers crossed that the (possibly new) game model wasn't inspired by the recent Kickstarter/mini-based game trends. The paint job for those models remind me of when I saw Batman: Gotham City Chronicles set up at GenCon, but I'm sure that we'll learn more about these details soon.

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

Man, can't wait to see more information and photos! Had most of the Heroscape releases when they were still in production as a kid.

Had to create a new account and jump back in to this community! Can't wait to throw money at this great game again!

Cheers!
