Greetings everyone! James here, long time Heroscape fan - turned Plaid Hat fan - turned father and game store owner. On March 31 (the day before easter), 2018, I'm hosting a big party at my store: The Gaming Goat 726 S. Milwaukee Ave Unit E Gurnee, IL, 60031 Although we don't carry Heroscape...

I've got a fun idea for a custom card to give as a gift to a friend. It'll use an existing Heroscape sculpt, so all I really need is a general and palette swap, as well as typing in the statistics and new special abilities that I have in mind. PM me if you're interested. I can pay you for...

I'm not totally out of the game. I've just decided to trim down to a more modest and manageable collection. The Great Heroscape Sale! As a general note about my figures- over the years I’ve acquired 3 other friends’ collections, and we all used to use sharpies to initial our figures on the...

I spent the majority of GenCon demoing games for Plaid Hat. It was pretty fun, but the real highlight of the weekend was when I was able to sneak away on Saturday afternoon long enough to play the game that got me back into board games: Heroscape. I leaned on the goodwill of other Heroscapers...

We talk a lot about MM bringing Melee up to snuff in people's minds, and Heavies being good against Deathreavers, Grimnak good at chomping everything, bonded melee good v. stingers with their low attacks per activation, but is it possible that we're overlooking a very important thing to come out...

Way back when I joined the site nearly four years ago, I was a bit annoyed that I started playing Heroscape just a month before GenCon. I had to live vicariously through battle reports. One that stuck out was spider's championship winning report from the year before. I really liked the Arrow...

I've been hassling Joe Knapper (AKA spider AKA the Michael Jordan of Heroscape) for the last couple years to write an article about what sort of preparation and skills are really important for going home with a trophy or 20 dollars worth of stuff you already have. But he never does. Truth is...

People often make comparisons between Heroscape and Legos. For many, they both fit that urge to build and stack stuff. After other recent discussions about what got people into Heroscape, I began to think about how I played with legos, and whether that may have shaped or been analogous to the...

Sure, there are some people, like dok, who haven't played enough times to lose ten games ;); but for me, despite all of my competitiveness, I find that a good, close loss against a similarly (or much greater) skilled opponent is often the most fun and instructive kind of game. I've been getting...

From last week: What I like about this, is that when you get down to the members of a specific game community, especially when that game isn't super popular, that shared experience creates something that we all have in common even though we're all really far apart. I think it's playing the...

This is half public service announcement, half astonishment. I haven't been buying a lot of Heroscape lately, simply because I have most of what I want (Except Gladiatrons, darn Gladiatrons), but holy cow, the online prices (and availability at FLGS) are outstanding right now for one of the...

I've been teasing folks about the Lawnmower for weeks. Gentlemen, start your engines: Here's mine. Untitled 2x Fen Hydra 240 Raelin 320 Kelda 400 Krav 500

Perhaps the most interesting unit of the wave to the competitive types of players, the Phantom Knights were revealed today: Evil Dupuis 5x Phantom Knights 350 Sir Dupuis 500 Scissors and Rock 5x Phantom Knights 350 3x Warriors of Ashra 500 (24) These guys seem super flexible... I expect a...

So, the Spiders finally got another Predator, and an uncommon one at that. Any ideas? Here's a basic one: 3x Wyvern 300 5x Fyorlag Spiders 500

So, there's already tons of discussion on these guys, but I figured I'd start an army-building thread just for them anyway. For those who don't know: Goofy names are a plus, in my opinion: Greenroller (I've seen dok, rattyZ and several others call it by this name) 4x Greenscales 240 Charos...

Sarpedon has been talking in his 100% Theoryscape thread about the Uncommon designation adding nothing to the game. So I decided to look at it another way... what existing units would be way cooler if they could be taken in multiples? Let's set aside the über powerful like Nilfheim or Raelin...

I think we should lighten up on repeating this statement. It's not that funny, and not that helpful. I'm totally awesome at finding old threads, especially ones I started, because I know exactly what they're called. If I type in "thoughts competitive pricing" and click the box for threads...

Recently, a new poster remarked in general, "RTTFF? What does that mean?" And it occurred to me that here on 'scapers, there are a lot of acronyms, abbreviations, and plain old weird inside jokes that get tossed around with impunity. Although I enjoy the culture that these terms are a part of...
