Is every character going to be an amped up berserker from now on?

Exactly my feelings after episode 4 of Rings of Power.

Interesting--I haven't seen the show yet. But I'd say that in the Silmarillion in general, the stories tend to be about more powerful beings. Who die off over the ages, or leave for The West. Every age has fewer and fewer of them, until you end up having to rely on...Hobbits.

I count 38-39 units, not individual figures, so far, depending on if the familiars have 2 or 3 heroes in their picture.

Someone should start a thread to discuss it.

Is Marichott the Jean Grey of AOA?

Genuine question, what's the happy feel good in classic Heroscape? Most things are fighters, monsters, marrow or warriors of some kind.

The Clockwork Combine seems to be fairly cuddly with large equipment for animal antics.

I think its more of a shift in tone than any specific unit that can be pointed to. Classic was a comic book, the remake is a graphic novel.

Krug makes me smile.

Dead Eye Dan is the Happy Valley of Heroscape!

A more serious response would be Elves for me. Elves generally seem like the reluctant hero types, other than the Drow of course. Kyrie are intended to give off the Angelic feel, being winged denizens of the afterlife. The 'fallen angels' are Utgar and his 'demonic' looking followers, but most of the others seem cheery types of warriors. I would say Einar's kyrie have a vengeance feel to them. I do hope we see some cyborg Kyrie that fight for Vydar in 2nd addition.

Gruts on Dinosaurs!

It's not like they've shown us...Elves on Dragons, a Chainaxe wielding dwarf, Snake folks in pirate hats, etc...

I think it's the same tone just different factions...
