Swarm of the Marro

As for the rest, I strongly propose we agree on this:

1. There are definitely hints both ways.

2. All of these hints can be discounted using quite reasonable counter-arguments.

3. We won't know for sure until we get an official answer, though any changes the next time we see SotM may strongly reinforce either position.

That said, it remains my contention (though I'm willing to stop calling it the most reasonable conslusion) that since the first pics we got of Wave 1 has Runa in it, the presence of multiple similar figures on the prototype box really doesn't mean much at all.

For the record, I don't actually care either way. Since I'm gonna buy at least two anyway, I'll have plenty of the commons in question.

Packing a set of Drones in there would have been a good idea, perhaps.

So at least we all end up misspelling the word one way or another, . Funny stuff. To be honest, I knew the spelling was wrong but was a bit busy to really look it up so I winged it, He he he. At least it gave us something to talk about.

I agree that the box is technically a prototype, but I will stand in the camp of commons. I agree that both arguments are compelling. Time will tell. Can we gloat or whine, depending, when it's finally revealed????

I suppose this would be a good time to throw in what I consider common in the ROTV master set.

Tarns, Marro Warriors, Zettian Guards, Krav Maga Agents, Izumi Samari. The Airborn Elite seem rather unique, and the Izumi are the weakest of the samurai (not to mention that the new samurai archers are common, so this is not unprecedented).

I know I'm late on this one! Forgive me for any rehashing. I went home for a week to visit my ailing dad.

Having checked out the pictures of the new master set, why am I underwhelmed? They remade several figures and the terrain just looks blah. Oh, I will will purchase when available, but it just doesn't look inviting. I would of much rather have new figures than resculpts. I do like the large Marro figure, however, the female ninja-like figure looks like something straight from Mortal Kombat. And I thought the game was supposed to attempt to appeal to adult players a bit more.....

Best wishes to your dad Teamski.

I would be really disappointed to find Marro Warriors in the box. I already have 4 squads and don't really need any more. Combined with a re-issued Drake and Raelin that would start to push it over in into the realm of "too much stuff I already have to be worth the price."

I think the Marro giant should be named Nuk-Kel-Hed.

If the original sculpts were better or the new ones sucky, sure. But c'mon Teamski, the new sculpts look really great and it's only a couple of them. The rest look quite interesting, and Q-Tip, I mean 10, looks imposing. As for the terrain, many people wanted swamp, and I don't see many other ways to do it. I hope you like it once it's in your hand.

Best wishes to your family.

I can't see increasing her Aura range and I just don't believe they'd toss in
two original MS figures with new sculpts without changes to abilities/stats/price.

I think Drake will be able to move and use his Improved Grapple Gun at the same time.

A house rule we use is that Drake can sacrifice one movement point for 5 vertical spaces of movement.

we might find out all these things after the heroscape.com update

Looking like something from Mortal Kombat ain't a bad thing in my book. I've never been a huge fan of that game but I think a lot of the characters are pretty cool looking. I think Shiori looks like a fun figure, wihtout even knowing the stats. A lot of cool looking figures in this set.

The only thing in this set that doesn't interest me? The resculpted Drake and Raelin. Although if they do have new stat cards I'm okay with it.

Ok, everyone seems to be assuming that Drake's and Raelin's stats will be changed... what would you want changed and why?
