Marvel Heroscape

[skyknight]

I think it is time to create a seperate site for Marvel Heroscape

Wow. Game changing. photographic proof of the great .... change
Thanks for the pic

New terrain tiles there!! New colored order markers.

[CornPuff]

Pointing out obvious:
Marvel Legends Heroscape is the title
There are order markers, combat dice and wound markers.
The hexes look very compatible
even the figure bases look the same

Terran tiles are most likely road and sidewalk would be my guess.
It looks like the building breaks apart.
And you have yellow glyphs.

[Grungebob]

Are there four or three order markers?

Maybe its just for this display, but did you notice there are no stacked tiles? IMHO height advantage defines heroscape. Will Marvel Legends Heroscape have hills and mountians (in the rules)? or just ruined buildings?

I'm willing to bet all my extra master set figures that Marvel Heroscape will be totally separate from Valhalla Heroscape.

yes but those are all possible one day. Who knows they mighrt be happening right now? there might be a planet resembling marr with advanced gorrilas, evolved snakes and marros. Its possible that somewhere i time and space that could happen, but we do know that all this super hero stuff is made up. Wich Is why I hope they keep the game seperate.

cross merchandising. it's what conglomorates like Hasborg do best

at least this means they see value in the best part of HS, the 3D modular game "board".

get ready for StarWars Heroscape...any guess as to when? Spring 2008? *sigh*

looks like a separate master set as well. more store shelf competition for the original game.

i'm definitely a "glass is half empty" person on this one...

looks like the exact same tiles to me. no reason why you couldn't stack 'em. no doubt the rule book will be nearly identical.

This is the approach I am going to take with this.

Listen, when Marvel signed with Hasbro this was written on the wall.
And I think I'm fine with it. I've been a regular member of all three HS fan sites.
I first registered at the .net in early October '04.
I state this only because ever since the beginnig of this game, people have been making customs for this game.
Many of them Super-Heroes.
I've only recently( the last 2-3 months) really warmed up to making customs myself. My thought was, Rob & Craig have created a perfect game universe. Why would I need to go outside of it?
The anwser is just for fun.
As long as the HS we all know and love keeps chugging along as normal,(albeit, with MUCH better distribution/packaging), knock your socks off.

Is this why Hasbro has been hiring a new developement person? Probably.

There is one thing I know for certain, this will bring more people to the game.
My hope is it is completely seperate/completely compatible.
