C3V/SoV Question Dump

[UtahScott]

Any hints on when the last Hero booster for Wave 23 drops? It's been a year since booster 3.

Once we get the release numbers on the basic sides...

You might say it's basically ready, aside from the basic sides.

So it's not basically ready...







Really, thanks for the clarification.

Have we got a Valkrill or Aquilla flagbearer in this collection, yet?

If so, is there any possibility of pulling them out in their own list on the INDEX OP?

Gothlok is a Valkrill flagbearer. No Aquilla flagbearer as of yet.

What is the typical rate of release of new figures in the C3V/ SOV combined? I'd imagine that it would be slower than what we'll get with the new Renegade stuff, so the Heroscape meta will change faster once the new official sets launch
What was the rate of release back with classic Heroscape?

I think release rate was around 1-2 Waves/Expansions per year.

I’m jumping back into this good ol’ world of Valhalla after about 4 years out, crazy how big C3V/SoV has gotten. I may grab some units but in general I’ll likely be sticking to original ‘Scape, will I be at a massive disadvantage? Or has the implementation of these additions been to where they’re as seamless as the original boosters were?

Hey @Dunedain , glad to have you back!

Valhalla Customs (C3V + SoV) fits very seamlessly into Classic Scape. It certainly has fewer "broken" units like Q9 and Raelin (Cathar Spearmen are the big one). If you decide to stick to Classic in a tournament that allows VC you won't necessarily be at a power disadvantage, just a knowledge disadvantage.

I'd say look through them, maybe pick up a few that interest you and go from there. You can play the game however you want.

I'd look at Index of Books, and Dok's VC Inclusive Power Rankings.

If you've been out of the community for 4 years, I'd also recommend looking a few newer things. First the Wargrounds of Scape is the successor to the Battlefields of Valhalla as the best of the best battlefields. Second, look at Delta Points, which is a system of re-balancing all the units in the game so that most things are viable in a tournament setting. And third, heroscape.org the all-in-one army builder, partial card scoring calculator, map repository and tournament software.

It sounds like, perhaps, you are asking if there's been power creep. If that is your question, the answer is definitely No.

The old stuff is still good. There's just more stuff to go with it now.

Welcome back!

Ahh, that’s all a lot of help. Thanks! I’ll try to familiarize myself best I can, I actually like a fair amount of the units, but at this point some of them are as hard to hunt down as the original minis, and if I have to do one or the other I’ll go for the core game. Delta pricing is great, the purist in my doesn’t want to use it but it really does bring a lot of formerly useless units into the fray

Welcome back!

That’s a great way of putting it, exactly what I was asking. Cheers!
