To piggy-back on this suggested unit... I really hope they have an "Old Man Drake" unique hero unit planned to release at some point, the obvious next step in the Sgt. Drake Alexander mythos. Grizzled and battle-hardened as the "battle of all time" has taken a heavy toll on him physically, his soul calloused from all he has witnessed in Valhalla, and all he has lost... yet still he presses on, fiercely determined to see the end of the war. For he has long since forgotten the life he had before being summoned through the wellsprings, and, purpose fulfilled, he has no desire to see life after the battle has finished.

Seriously, it is a beast of our own making and the parameters are always subject to change, interpretation and different applications across different events and event organizers.

Ironing out the way tournaments are run at this particular event or that particular event in the new era is definitely a secondary consideration, at least imho.
To some degree this site is a pretty big echo chamber in that regard. There are figures that might seem overpriced in competitive games, but in scenario/objective based games they suddenly make sense. Asymmetrical and scenario based games are some of the most memorable Heroscape experiences I've had.

Today's Designer's Notes have arrived!

DESIGNER'S NOTES - DAY 03 - RECOGNITION OF OUR PAST AND A PATH TOWARDS OUR FUTURE – For almost two decades, players have endeared themselves to the faces and forms of so many interesting personalities on the surface of Valhalla. When we initiated the project and started development, we made the decision to drastically expand our universe. Giving existing players an opportunity to build out a world they have only seen a small fraction of, while also providing new players a chance to own something themselves. We wanted every new player to feel they possess a level field to begin their collections alongside the original generation of Heroscapers. However, this game means so much to so many players, and the memories it has created for fans are simply the stuff of strategy gaming legend. To that point, we wanted to ensure existing fans were able to affirm that those creatures and narratives they loved could live on into this new era. The Dawn Raider Syndicate provided us with that perfect opportunity to reintroduce many of our most beloved and recognizable species back into The Battle For All Time, reminding us all that the war never ended on Valhalla, and grounding our next chapter in a foundation of our past, while also providing everyone something fresh to spark their imaginations for our future together.
Marro are in the Dawn Raider Syndicate?! Talk about cross-faction synergy!

It was a REQUIREMENT from Day 1, that anything we produced would be backwards compatible with existing rule systems and game mechanics. However, it couldn’t simply be “more of” and the team took on the task with zeal to unlock greater depth in the range of abilities and powers. For the team, nothing excites us more then to see how YOU will dive into all new army builds, combinations and strategies, using all new powers to once again march to war upon the surface of Valhalla. And, for those who love their historical ties, perhaps a closer look is needed.

If (Pirate Queen Bonny) is targeted with a normal or special attack, roll a 20-sided die. If you roll a 12 or higher, the attacking figure may not attack (Pirate Queen Bonny).

That Marro looks super cool! Wonder what his story will be. Has he broken free of the hivemind?

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

What we're looking at here is more parts of the pirate faction, aka the Dawn Raider Syndicate.

There are pirates all over the world, and pirates historically and famously pressgang civilians into service. So it makes sense that our pirates - Heroscape pirates - would be a mishmash of this and that. What a perfect way to include some of our old friends! So here you see "Marro Pirate," a Marro unique hero. I'm reluctant to answer, at this moment, whether we're looking at a Captain or not, but he's a unique pirate hero, so certainly it's a reasonable guess that he might be.

You're also looking at another human, "Pirate Queen Bonny," a master of disguise. Over the course of the coming releases you will see a *lot* of new members of the Heroscape family - new genres, new races, and so on - so the pirates are also an effective way to make sure that we have humans present in the new set.

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!

Really cool updates; thanks for sharing them here!

I just realized that the horned unit with the "hero weapon" on this post is likely the silhouette on the far left of the teaser image.
