Re: The Book of Hoplitron
These deserve better than B+ in the power rankings. They bond with Augamo and Major J15 which makes them a lot more versatile and dangerous. I have seen Augamo bonded with two hoplitrons go in as a team and wipe an entire 300 pts army consisting of Q9 and rats without losing a single figure.
I think they should be at least be on a similar tier as their best bonding options. They pack in a lot of efficiency in those 35 points and are seriously hard to kill with their massive defense in addition to their size and soulborg nature making them immune to a lot of the insta kill D20 specials attacks. They even come with a built in special to help deal with screen units like rats. |

Re: The Book of Hoplitron
They don't bond with Augamo -- he's a golem, not a Soulborg. Hoppies are really good, but they fall too quickly to armies that get 3, 4 or more attacks per turn, especially with range. B+ is really solid for them, IMO.

Re: The Book of Hoplitron
Yep. They do have strong matchups, but they don't have enough moves and attacks per turn to keep up with top tier armies.

Re: The Book of Hoplitron
Can someone upload a photo of Hoplitron standing next to another figure? I have a 3D file of him from the 3D printable proxies thread ready to print but I'm not sure I have the scale right. The figure seems too large in the file and I want to be sure before using up resin. Plus this book needs a photo anyways. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks ahead of time!

Maybe this one might be of some help, if you have the model for the base ? Edit : strange, the image don't want to display... added a link too. Edit 2 : ok, I hosted the image to compensate :
Spoiler Alert!

EDIT: I went ahead and printed one and I already had a couple yodajunkie DW9K bases, and the printed mini's feet land exactly on the same spot as the mini in the picture so I guess I answered my own question. This guy is a bigger mini than I ever thought, I always assumed Hoplitron was only as tall as a regular human. Turns out he's about as tall as Q10. It may be that the 3D printed version doesn't lean forward as much as the original. Heroscape is back! WOOOOO! Last edited by Tmac2200; July 9th, 2021 at 03:11 AM. |

Re: The Book of Hoplitron
These guys are great in a monster mash setting, just played yesterday and they performed very well. I had both X17 and J15 with 6 hoplitrons which was able to take down most of what they encountered. I can imagine they wouldn't fair as well in a squad setting where they recieve multiple attacks per turn against them though, but I have tried that yet
