The Definitive List of Units by Sex.
This is my third (and probably last) draft classifying all units by their sex. This draft includes all official units.
Why should you be interested in this? Honestly, I have no idea. I started doing this because I thought it would be great for my daughter to play with an all woman army (in a few years, she’s two right now.) Now I’ve gone through all the effort I though I would share it with you. And hopefully you’ll give me some feedback to make it better. I am being pretty conservative about what units I am placing where. I have four reasons for classifying units as something besides “unknown.” They are: 1)Units of both sexes are in the game and easily differentiated. This covers humans, elves, kyrie, eladrin, drow, and half-elves. 2)The unit’s class clearly refers to a sex (King, Emperor, Warlord, Lady, etceteras) 3)The unit is referred to in the biography or on the card as either “he,” “she,” or “it.” 4)There is a reference to sex on the card. (Thanks to Killometer for his help on this.) This leaves some pretty embarrassing units in the “unknown” class. Migol Ironwill anyone? Axegrinders of Burning Forge? Maybe in the world of Heroscape they are all male, but I’ve heard rumors that it’s hard to tell male and female dwarves apart (Drizz’t, Discworld.) Gueri-Oni? Well, I hope my daughter doesn’t grow up to look like him/her/it, but what do I know about Cyclops? Should Soulborg all be neutrals? I might agree with you but then Warden 816 is explicitly referred to as a “he.” (And Major Q9 may be a he as well.) Grut Orcs, goblin cutters, marro, soulborg, how do you tell? Any help getting these units classified would be greatly appreciated. And of course I would also love to know if I have mis-classified anything. In total there are 209 units. 116 are male; 26 are female; 22 are explicitly neutral; and 3 squads have both men and women in them. That leaves 42 unknowns. So here’s the list, alphabetically sorted by sex, and then by reason, and then by unit. The reasons are Bio—the biography indicates the sex. Card—the text of the card indicates the sex. Class—the class indicates the sex, Race—the race indicates the sex Both (Females and Males in squad) Race: Krav Maga Agents ,Ninjas of Northern Wind ,Phantom Knights, Females Bio: Eltahale, Saylind Kyrie Warrior, Card: Wo-Sa-Ga Class: Braxas ,Iskra Esenwein ,Kee-Mo-Shi ,Sonya Esenwein ,Sudema , Race: Agent Skahen ,Ana Karithon ,Empress Kiova ,Estivara ,Jorhdawn ,Kelda Kyrie Warrior ,Kumiko ,Kyntela Gwyn ,Mika Connour ,Moriko ,Nakita Agents ,Otonashi ,Raelin Kyrie Warrior ,Raelin Kyrie Warrior (SotM) ,Runa ,Sharwin Wildborn ,Shiori ,Warriors of Ashra , Males Bio: Brunak ,Darrak Ambershard ,Deathwalker 9000 ,Dünd , Evar Scarcarver, Frost Giant of Morh,Grimnak ,Heavy Gruts ,Heirloom , Ice Troll Berserker, ,Iron Golem ,Jotun ,Khosumet Darklord ,Krug ,Laglor ,Marcu Esenwein , Master of the Hunt, Me-Burq-Sa ,Mimring ,Ne-Gok-Sa , Ogre Pulverizer, Ogre Warhulk ,Ornak ,Rhogar Dragonspine , Siege, Su-Bak-Na ,Sujoah ,Theracus ,Torin ,Tornak ,Warden 816 ,Warforged Soldiers , Card:Migol Ironwill,Othkurik Black Dragon ,Shurrak , Class: Charos ,Cyprien Esenwein ,Kurrok Elementalist ,Mogrimm Forgehammer , Moltenclaw, Nilfheim ,Tul-Bak-Ra ,Venoc Warlord ,Werewolf Lord ,Zelrig , Race: 10th Regiment of Foot ,4th Massachusetts Line ,Acolarh ,Agent Carr ,Airborne Elite ,Alastair MacDirk ,Arkmer ,Ashigaru Harquebus ,Ashigaru Yari ,Atlaga Kyrie Warrior ,Aubrien Archers ,Brandis Skyhunter ,Brave Arrow ,Capuan Gladiators ,Chardris ,Concan Kyrie Warrior ,Crixus ,Deadeye Dan ,Deepwyrm Drow ,Drow Chainfighter ,Einar Imperium ,Eldgrim Viking Champion ,Emirroon ,Erevan Sunshadow ,Finn Viking Champion ,Guilty McCreech ,Hatamoto Taro ,Isamu ,Izumi Samurai ,James Murphy ,Johnny "Shotgun" Sullivan ,Kaemon Awa ,Kato Katsuro ,Knights of Weston ,Kozuke Samurai ,MacDirk Warriors ,Marcus Decimus Gallus ,Master Win Chiu Woo ,Microcorp Agents ,Minions of Utgar ,Mohican River Tribe ,Morsbane ,Parmenio ,Pelloth ,Protectors of Ullar ,Retiarius ,Roman Archers ,Roman Legionnaires ,Sacred Band , Samuel Brown, Sentinels of Jandar ,Sgt.

Re: The Definitive List of Units by Sex.
Nice.
Wo-Sa-Ga is a female ("she" on the card), Othkurik is male ("he" on card), and I think you're probably safe classifying the various soulborgs as neutral. We can also deduce that one of the Marro Warriors is male because he was clearly posing at a frat party for his sculpt. |

Re: The Definitive List of Units by Sex.
Shurrak is referred to as a he on the card.
Dund is referred to as he in his Bio. Last edited by .68; September 24th, 2010 at 01:44 PM. Reason: added Dund |

Re: The Definitive List of Units by Sex.
I'd guess (and it is purely a guess) that the Wolves of Bardu are a male and female squad, (and you could probably extend this to the Anubian Wolves) because there are three wolves in the pack, and:

And here's a reason why, when playing more than 1 squad, you should always drop a wolf for each squad added: Quote:

Re: The Definitive List of Units by Sex.
Card pronouns:
It Air Elemental, Black Wyrmling, Blue Wyrmling, Earth Elemental, Fen Hydra, Feral Troll, Fire Elemental, Greater Ice Elemental, Red Wyrmling, Sahuagin Raider, Water Elemental, Wyvern He Othkurik, Shurrak She Wo-Sa-Ga Kurrok, could fit under class, since he's a "Sorcerer", not a "Sorceress". If your going to base the ambiguiousness of dwarven gender off elven prejudices, you should base the elves off dwarven prejudices, since all elves look like girls to them. Realistically I'd say that you could safely put all the Dwarves as male, under race. Also, under Males:class, you have everyone listed twice. |

Re: The Definitive List of Units by Sex.
But called a "he" on the back of the box. I would go with "she".

Re: The Definitive List of Units by Sex.
I’ll open a can of worms here,
The Fortress Door is not a figure; it is by definition an object, or more specifically a destructible object. The official definitions in both online FAQ and Battle for the Underdark rule book are very clear about this. And yes, I do understand The Door has its own army card. Kroc, they are never too young to start Heroscape… You should have seen my 4y/o sons face light up when I showed him a pic. of the new Frost Giant. To quote him, Awesome! |

Re: The Definitive List of Units by Sex.
Updated the list, thanks one and all for the feedback. Some specific comments.

We don't only have the word of a drow elf, we also have the entire Discworld series to rely on. If Terry Pratchett thinks you can't tell the guys from the girls I need a clear guideline before I start slotting them into a gender stereotype. Quote:
My sone (3.5) loves to play with the figures and can put together the tiles, my daughter (1.5 or so) has yet to show a lot of interest. I'm planning on about the age of 5. Right now I don't really have anyone else to play with, so I'm basically waiting for the kiddies. |

Re: The Definitive List of Units by Sex.
I believe one of the Aubrien Archers is female.

Nope. Just a femme looking guy. He's an Elf, after all.
