Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

Five man squads are definitely interesting from a balance standpoint compared to classic 'Scape - it'll be neat to see some of these unique squads maybe holding their own against the strong classic bonding armies. Really can't wait to start seeing army cards!

Its times like this that I think back to Nathan Fillion voicing the Octopus on several episodes of Resident Alien.

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

Based on their bio, these guys might win the "Least Child-Friendly" award from me, but the five-unit squad is very cool. Perhaps they will have an ability like the classic zombies.

To further strike fear and terror in her would-be enemies, Maladrix The Conquerer uses her enemies as “hosts” to prepare and expand her host of Festering Honor Guards, creating awkward situations for the Craven Court’s adversaries when their closest allies suddenly and violently burst apart in front of their eyes to reveal more skittering creatures to bring death upon those who would dare oppose the Craven Court.

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

Reading it again, it actually sounds like Maladrix The Conquerer is the one creating/replacing new Festering Honor Guard units - for all those who wished that the Marro Hive could move and bite people.

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

Sounds like they squish juicily (is that a word?) and I would assume they don't have a huge attack. Unless perhaps they are close to Queen Maladrix.

Like the idea of a 5 perso...ehm...creature squad but was never able to figure one out. Looking forward to this card.

Just when you thought it was all right, someone made it alright.

Good trades with - Porkins / xraine69 / mac122 (x2) / frylock / Ztimster (x2) and probably others I forgotten to mention...sorry.

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

I expect they actually start on the board but the queen can respawn them.

Craig hinted in Discord that they may have the Hivelord class.

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

On the topic of unit powers in nemisis war brood, I was looking over some old posts. I saw skyknight was the one in charge of these guys. When clicking on his customs there are repainted zettians that transform into a repainted DW9K. Seems like the power can work in reverse as well. In rereading the oathbound phalanx and legionaries reveal I wonder if the oathbound will have a very similar power in how they combine and separate

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

Depends on how the official card looks otherwise it should be as simple as priming it then using contrast/speed paints, then a shade/wash and highlight the antenna and mandibles. I know for the novice that sounds complex...let me assure you it's easier than it sounds and will look good.

Of course the official color scheme could be a lot more difficult making most of us leave these as orange and or in the box.

Just when you thought it was all right, someone made it alright.

Good trades with - Porkins / xraine69 / mac122 (x2) / frylock / Ztimster (x2) and probably others I forgotten to mention...sorry.
