Not quite. In the Knucklebones article Erik Arneson wrote (page 62, bottom of middle column):

"The first Herscape master set, Rise of the Valkyrie... The second master set, Marvel Heroscape... The third master set, Swarm of the Marro..."

Those are the three.

Oops...my bad I remember re-reading that part too...I don't have it with me and when I saw this thread I thought it was confirmation. Sorry guys.

wikipedia can be a mixed blessing - tiresome and helpful

Is that supposed to be hard to read?

I would love for this too be true, but I think I would preffer a terrain expansion instead.

I don't know...

Master Sets
A Master Set is required to play the game. The first master set is titled Rise of the Valkyrie. This set contains 30 pre-painted miniature figure warriors (all unique but a mixture of hero and squad), cards with the stats of the different warrior figures, a large amount of interlocking hex-based tile terrain, and the rule booklets, which include battlefield plans and scenarios for both basic and advanced games.

There are three versions of the Rise of the Valkyrie set available. The first edition is sought by some collectors mainly because it has sparkly translucent blue water tiles rather than solid blue ones in the second edition. The original edition came with two sets of six-sided dice: a set of red "attack" dice and blue "defense" dice. The second edition edition combine these into a set of unified dice that are rolled for both attack and defense. The second edition is more common and as well as different water and dice noted above has slightly different packaging and a revised rulebook. An exclusive Walmart edition released during the 2005 holiday season is identical to second edition but has three additional figures.

Multiple set purchases are common among keen players as the Master Set is the only way to obtain larger amounts of terrain tiles, which are generally used to build bigger battlefields.

A themed Master set(labeled on the Box as Game Set "The Conflict Begins" )has been announced based on the Marvel Comics license Hasbro has acquired from 2007. Marvel Legends Heroscape (Due July 2007 [1] - this release has been pushed back from January due to undisclosed reasons) will include 10 unique figures (Captain America, Red Skull, Silver Surfer, Thanos, Hulk, Abomination, Spider-Man, Venom, Iron Man, & Dr. Doom) and urban style terrain.

A second Master set, Swarm of the Marro, will be released around Fall 2007. It was revealed at Toyfair 07. Some of the figures include The massive Marro from Thormun's Journal, 1 or more squads of possibly regenerable wulsini type creatures with beaks, 1 or more squads of heavy Marro rifleman, 1 or more squads of Gunner Marro (3 squads total), two remakes of old figures (Raelin, and Sgt. Drake Alexander), a ninja with shuriken, and an elven spellcaster with a small dragon on his shoulder (a total of 7 heros). It also contains what appears to be mud or quick sand terrain, and what appears to be jungle terrain. It has a new "swamp" terrain tile type.

Updates posted on Heroscape.com (click on the news link) as of 5/11/07

A third Master set that is not final with dirt terrain and quick sand. 27 New Figures + 3 Limited Edtions. More info soon.


This sounds like RotV is 1, Marvel doesn't count, SotM is 2, and another one is 3, possibly a desert type master set. And maybe, just maybe with three Gencon exclusives included! Nerak, Hawthorne, and this years!

[Draconious]
