Re: HeroScape is coming back!
Quote:
If anything, Heroscape had a complete lack of theme, relying heavily on a certain toy aesthetic and player imagination. Any time theme is introduced in a more cohesive way, you lose some of that charm, and hem in the player’s imagination. However, what theme does do, is increase immersion and define certain player goals. Scenarios make more sense, abilities find more relevance, and the meta feels richer. Perhaps those are things that kids don’t care about, but Heroscape casts a wide net. “Heroscapers is too old for that crap.” ~IamBatman "Hahahah! You losers! I told you so!!" ~Clancampbell |

Nonsense. We've already seen that. Oberon became Irene.

Re: HeroScape is coming back!
Interesting side note on retailer orders. Right now, only the unpainted versions are available for pre-order (at least in the distributor that my friend uses).
They do have a huge "launch package" incentive that requires ordering 8 master sets, 12 battle boxes and 6 terrain packs. In return, the retailer gets a bunch of the Sgt Drake promos, posters, etc. And a Heroscape branded demo table with a demo copy of the PAINTED master set. So as a retailer, you get a painted copy to set up and help promote... but you only get unpainted versions to sell. |

From that distributor right now, retailers can only order the unpainted sets. They can't get any of the painted ones. As it stands right now, you can only get the painted editions directly from Renegade or Hasbro. |

Re: HeroScape is coming back!
Awesome, thanks everyone who responded.
Not sure if this was mentioned, but it's kind of odd that the unpainted versions of the product show the figures painted on the box art. For any buyers not on this website, they might be feeling some bait and switch once they open the box. |

HeroScape is a little different in that, until now, always came pre-painted and is probably more susceptible to folks who don't know better feeling hosed. -insert signature here- |

What seems even more bizarre is how both the product packages and the supporting web images fail to show any pictures of the walls or trees. They could have made the battlefield scenes come alive with that stuff, but instead it looks like they maybe just went with some early marketing images of figures sitting on tiles. Nobody had a couple of hours free one afternoon to pose a proper product shot? (Or maybe none of the missing stuff has been actually produced yet.) Also weird is that the Master Set images don't even show the glyphs, order markers, wound markers, dice.... Now I can maybe see why they might not want to show the army cards, which kinda look like cartoon crap compared to the old ones, but leaving out all this component detail could be sending a subtle visual message that you're not getting a whole lot for your $125 or $225. It all feels ... I don't know ... rushed? Good traders: tdemirji, AbsintheAddict, Blubberguy22, Toa Matoro, SuperSamyon, Bl1ndsn1per, Ericth74,

Re: HeroScape is coming back!
I have a feeling these aren't the final production boxes. They still have time to make packaging adjustments assuming the plan is to release in August.
Heroscape is back! WOOOOO! |
