Guide for newbie
I'm looking to get into Heroscape and due to age of the game, it seems very difficult to get any master sets for a reasonable price.
C3V sounds great, but there's a zillion different posts here and I'm having trouble figuring out where to get started. Are there any newbie guide / start here posts that help someone get started with C3V or SoV? |

Welcome to the site!
The Welcome to the C3V thread should be a good place to get acquainted with things around here. |

Re: Guide for newbie
As for getting into C3V stuff, that thread is certainly good and browsing the Books is good too.
As for getting 'Scape for reasonable prices, you're in the right place. The Sales and Trades section is the best place to buy HeroScape, and if you are patient you can rack up a fantastic collection for the lowest possible price (and get a good foundation for a very reasonable amount). I don't know how much you already have, but if you are looking for things as fundamental as a couple master sets, this is the only place I know of that people sell those for non-ridiculous prices.

I actually have nothing so far other than an interest in getting into Heroscape and similar games. I'll have to check out the sales and see if I can find enough to start |

Has the C3V group released any scenarios along with the books/figure recommendations? I'm not seeing any or am searching for the wrong terms. |

The advice dok offers above is good, but I would strongly suggest that you start with the core Rise of the Valkyrie set if at all possible. It includes plenty of variety and the most terrain of any of the sets. I don't know how much it sells for nowadays (I sold one to a fellow 'Scaper just a few years ago for the original price of $40), but even at $60-80 it's a good value. Heck, since you're in Denver maybe dok can sell you some of his excess 'Scape. |

Thanks for the recommendation and reposting your old post here. Looks like everything has gotten much more rare over the last few years. Most of the sets you mention are in the range of $200 - $300 on Amazon now. As suggested earlier I'll have to try and watch for sales on eBay or heroscapers to get started. Alternatively, I'm thinking about trying to print some of the terrain using a 3d printer, but will have to see how that works out in terms of cost. |

Re: Guide for newbie
After buying a master set, be sure to buy some type of terrain expansion. The Fortress Set is probably the most affordable of them all. This will help your battlefields pop by adding in LOS blocking features.
Good luck! Miniatures for both official and customs are pretty expensive these days, so just hope for the best. My customs. NE Ohio Tourney - TBA SW Ohio Tourney - NHSD 550 points AotV - Colliding the minis of AotP with the world of HS. |

Re: Guide for newbie
Do not spend $200 - 300 on an RotV Master Set. Watch the sales & trades subforum here, and you'll find one, and other goodies, at a reasonable price.
It's a great game. There really is no substitute, and you'll find your way in. As for the C3V and SoV customs, I know it's intimidating. Just ask your particular questions here, and we'll help you as best we can. Or, come to think of it, [edit incoming] you can ask all your C3V/SoV questions here. |
