Welcome to the Heroscapers 2.0 site! We've still got some dust to clear and adjustments to make, including launching a new front page, but we hope you enjoy the improvements to the site. Please post your feedback and any issues you encounter in this thread.
HeroScape is coming back!

Same. A thought popped into my head related to this. Assuming they did something like this I wonder if there is a additional 'hoop' to jump thru for D&D units. That's likely another license they'd need to have and likely cost preventative.
I wonder in that case, with new sculpts, if name changes (since, for example, Drow I assume would fall under the license) would be considered by Renegade and accepted by the community?
Be fine with me, not that it means much.
Roughly an hour until the Meet the HS Team segment on Renegatde's Youtube channel! 
I tried searching for it on youtube and all it came up with is something about final fantasy 1
rather it had some older stuff from years ago, but I couldn't find anything for this convention. Also found several videos having to do with Football. Nothing with this convention in it

I just searched "Renegade Games" and that brought up the livestream.
Sounds like they may be adjusting some Avalon Hill AoA units. They referred to making the blimp work. Also shrinking the master set and releasing at least 2 additional terrain sets.

Design team says best way to interact with them is via the Renegade Discord. Look for the names in Renegade Blue.
Also CVN and AH are still involved.

Team agrees that the obvious answer for most exciting thing coming up is Raelin. Hints at good Raelin and "cloaked" Raelin.
No reprints if old figures, but maybe new versions of old figures. Sounds like all AH AoA figures will be coming out eventually, but maybe not in first wave. Intial release will be playable stamd alone.

interesting, I searched that and it worked as well. before I searched "renegade gaming convention" and it came up with nothing related except from years ago. Yet the page is literally called 'renegade gaming"
@lafleurhero YouTube search barely works nowadays. Same with Google generally it seems.
Before searching Renegade Games I searched Renegade Gaming and that brought up entirely wrong stuff.
Renegade Games "Meet The Team" Heroscape Stream
Did any of you watch today's stream? Its interesting that they will be putting out an application to playtest. I took some notes. The first content reveal will supposedly be in 3 months, with a relaunch in 2024. There will be a new stand alone Master Set. There will also be smaller buy in packs. Age of Annihilation stuff will all be issued, including the stretch goals. They are working on 3 terrain packs and there will be more later. Product will be issued in multiple Waves. There will be Organized Play.
No decision yet on whether minis will be painted. Old figures will not be reissued, as all the moulds have been destroyed. Some of the team have been lurking on the site and will be posting there soon. The two most directly involved have been long time Scapers.
To find the hour long stream on youtube I entered "Renegade Heroscape."

Agreed, it was not Heroscape's original intention that it be a collectible game. According to the new statements by Renegade though, reprints will not be happening. Sad, but not surprising. Even when the game was still in production I appreciated the re-releases of past waves, but doubted that it was a sustainable business model in the long run, even for a giant like Hasbro.
If this revival succeeds, it will be interesting to see how this "no reprint" policy will affect the competitive scene, which may find itself split into camps of haves and have-nots.
If 3d printing of old stuff is generally allowed and the cards can just be printed out, isn't that good enough? I don't know if it's officially allowed, but I know some people have been doing it already anyway, especially for the special event released figures like Agent Skahen or especially is it Samuel Jackson? I personally haven't done this but I have no problem playing against people that do, even in a tournament setting.

That's a good point, the older players with complete collections will have more possibilities for army builder, allowing them to more optimally find the right synergies for a particular strategy.
There may be different types of tournaments and events that are renegade only, classic only, mixed, etc. like we see now with the VC stuff.

I've been catching up on yesterday's presentation, and a quick check of our official information thread seems to confirm that multiple formats will be Renegade's exact strategy. Classic units might be relegated to side events, though.
