From appearances alone, this game barely qualifies as "not Heroscape." I bring you, Magic the Gathering Board Game:
How 'bout that?

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
It's a joke, right? A mean, mean, cruel prank? Did you notice this part?
EDIT: This will be great for C3V, mini-wise.

Heroscape spiritual successor?
Hasboro and WotC announced during Essen Spiel a Magic the Gathering tactical mini's board game, developed by the team behind Heroscape. While early in development, it looks like Heroscape.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
The outer edge looks distinctly incompatible, while all the other edges look like they are actually Heroscape tiles. I wonder what they ultimately end up looking like.

Scooped! by @Dad_Scaper. Although a separate thread for discussing this seems appropriate.

I'm really excited by this news. I hope the game isn't dumb; although how can it be if the people working on it are what that release seems to imply. More importantly, if it proves to be a cool game, I hope they sell it at a price where they can make a profit and keep selling it indefinitely.

I'll have to admit, the figures look great, and this would mean more terrain.

AWESOME!
I do hope the terrain is compatible, but some if it doesn't look like it. Hopefully we'll be able to use the figures and terrain.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Wonder if copyright actually prevents them from being compatible? Although if its the same companies, it shouldn't. And that other company seems to be putting out compatible tiles! Well, any development is a good development! Cheaper materials such as may become available from 3D printing will eventually get us going again with new stuff...maybe.

If you're talking about HeroScape, I'm not sure it was making enough money to be profitable, which is what the shareholders of a company want.

@MegaSilver Look closer at what the fire birds are standing on. Also, did you see the bases for the figures?

Re: Heroscape spiritual successor?
It looks like all the tiles are compatible when I zoom in. The little border bits are detachable it seems. Even if they aren't, you can make something akin to a cell membranes phospholipid bilayer if you place the end bits back to back so that they all become compatible. I may finally get to see a VC terrain release yet!

I may finally get to see a VC terrain release yet! Maybe even a master set! It looks like there'd be a strong number of elemental or ghostly types.

OK so here's my wild speculation. I don't think those flat tiles are tiles at all. I think it's a printed mat. Look at the outer tile edges, you can see the line where the normal tile should end, and then the rectangular bit that sticks out. This wouldn't make sense if they were tiles, but would be compatible with a printed mat. (Or a poorly photoshopped mockup!) Those are clearly Scape tiles on top (look at the surface). So my guess is, the game will come with some modular boards with printed hexes on them. As the game progresses, each player will add Scape hexes on top of the mat, which will change the landscape and somehow generate mana.
At least, that's how I would do it. If I am right, do I get a cookie?

It looks like the outer edges have doodads linked in for some reason, similar to what you have to end a hallway in Descent. If those tiles are not compatible with 'Scape, they are pretty close.
