It is 2022. I was not expecting Heroscape of all things in my sub feed, but I'm ALL FOR IT

[@danielchance4157]

When it got quietly announced in august I had to stop myself from hooting and hollering at a work event 😂

[@evancrites1787]

[@LuiBei1994]

Then back it! We need to reach8k if we want heroscape to not die!

[@kylejohnsen9162]

It's not looking good. Well over half the time is gone and we've barely squeaked past 40%. And given that the biggest jump in backers is usually right at the start, I'm not sure this will even get funded, much less actually hit any stretch goals.

[@SM00THCR1M1NAL]

It's too bad that they don't advertise more or better to get the backers needed. Hell if KZbin would have been pushing ads for it as much as Raid Shadow legends it would be already fully funded and in the works. This is the first I'm hearing of it and it's only a day or so left. But that's the story of my life, I always find out about the coolest stuff that intrigues me the most and I'm always a day late or s dollar short.

[@TMoney699]

OMG!?!? I love this game. Started playing in college in '05. Can't wait for it to return. I just backed a copy!

[@nordicfatcheese]

I've played Heroscape since I was eight years old and I can say with confidence that it is the best tabletop game I've ever played. The stuff in this video is just a fraction of what full Heroscape provides. For terrain, there are trees, ruins, lava, glaciers, entire modular castles on the board. The average board will generally be a bit larger than this but significantly more interesting, more terrain elevation and obstacles like trees or ruins across the map. The figures are also much more diverse in proper Heroscape. You're not locked into factions or even genres like other games, you can use any mix of fantasy, sci-fi, even historical figures in your list. Of course some figures will be designed to work better with each other, but the average Heroscape army will have elves, samurai, cyborgs, a dragon, and the 4th Massachusetts Line fighting together. The best part is that if you want to make custom rules for non-Heroscape figures, literally anything will fit. Warhammer, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Bolt Action, anything you can make rules for works in Heroscape. I seriously cannot recommend this game enough, I'm hoping for a miracle to get it funded.

[@megabubfish]

Preach! I agree with all of this. Personal favorite game I've ever played, honestly.

[@sunbro7853]

Ah the good old WTF squads

[@pstark-jh6bm]

This is totally worth getting for wargamers looking for something a little less rules heavy, but with all the fun brawling and tactical strategy intact.

[@danielchance4157]

Plus the terrain is clutch for DnD nights

[@ryanallsop8783]

Exactly the terrain on its own is amazing

[@newworld75]

It’s a great game! I enjoy it as much as 40K. Great tactical wargame. Diverse units and an amazing interlocking terrain system. Also, it has the benefit of being easy to teach so you can get friends into a game quickly.

[@thedavischanger]

Baby's first 40k

[@gamechanger8908]

The gateway drug for any wargamer.

[@RoscoeS]

Thanks for the review! Nice to see some of the new sculptures In Action. Also setting up the new scenario. I am an old school Heroscaper! As well as AOA backer.

[@DavidTron9000]

Such an awesome game. Backed a copy today! Hope we can reach the funding goal!

[@Aritic440]

the nostalgia is strong. would love to see them painted

[@evancrites1787]

For a lot of reasons, it wasn’t feasible for them to be prepainted, but I’m sure you can match the quality of the original, or send your set off to get painted 😁

[@curtimusx5209]

These figures looked fun! Ive backed already, but I’ll be backing 2-3 more copies

[@nelsonpavao3525]

Great game! Got one for myself, and another as a Christmas gift for my nephew next year! Can't wait!

[@UnderMyThumb]

Yes! One of the best gateway tabletop games ever released!

[@codysheets3125]

Looks great! Let's bring her back gang! We need all hands on deck!

[@Oni93657]

This is the game that got me into Tabletop Gaming and the Hobby in general. Heroscape is an absolutely wonderful game. Fun amd fast, all the while being deep enough to scratch the itch for some Tactical wargamming goodness. This is just a small dabble into the game itself. Terrain, Height Advantage, synergies, scenario ruled, etc., all make the game so much deeper. Also, all the old Heroscape stuff works with the new stuff without issue. It's worth every penny to get into this.

[@michaelsalcido3373]

Backed! Really hoping it succeeds. Excited to paint those minis.

[@jordannielsen8844]

Great video, thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the revival of Heroscape. I’m a backer, let’s get this funded!

I love the synergy of the different factions!! This needs to get funded!

These figures look so so cool!!! I want to show case these figures on my channel some day.

I love how even your own soldiers have to give the Hellforge a wide berth. Terrifying, unhinged unit. Can't wait to play it, definitely my favorite one shown so far

[@p_jkeller4056]

Yeah, Hellforge is pretty awesome

i still have the old game with most of the expansions and miniatures (now used for dnd)

[@ZetroxWargaming]

So glad to see more eyes on this game, really hoping to see it get funded, as it's an amazing game that served as a gateway for me into wargaming, as I am sure it did many others!

[@dadreadfulduo]

Loving the new mini colors and the card design -- it looks so much better in person

[@BorisCroire]

Here we go!

[@ramzen89]

Man, I remember as a kid, when this game first came out, I asked mom if she'd get it for me for Christmas. She did, and I actually spoiled it cause I had found the hiding spot she had for gifts. I've always loved this game, I enjoy not the endless builds, but also the fact that it seems simpler and easier to get into compared to a lot of tabletops out there. I would love to see this come out again in full swing.

[@beaugergel4503]

Just backed!! Let’s do this!

[@benmorisette3827]

Fantastic video! Love me some Heroscape!! It would be a dream come true to see this come back into production.

[@stevencupello9568]

This looks dope. Definitely checking out the campaign page

If you like it, you should back. It’s a very fun game, and the system is very flexible

I really appreciate you posting a video on this. I really really really really hope this game gets funded.

[@alphaomega938]

The terrain in extremely modular and once you reach a critical mass you can essentially build anything

[@omnivision616]

Got a ton of Heroscape back in the day to try and get my little brothers into tabletop gaming. Didn't work but they still love and play Heroscape all these years later. We already backed and are hoping we can get to the 8k needed for a release. I have been playing warhammer and tons of other minis game for over 20 years and can say Heroscape is worth it. Great fun and simple enough for kids around 7+. Really want this campaign to meet it's goal.

RETURN TO MY CHILDHOOD

[@joshuacamp7974]

So many good memories as a kid playing this game, as well as good memories as an adult. My wife and kids jumped in with me on this one because as long as you can read you can play this one. It is so nice and simple. I am excited for it to make a comeback. I can't wait to expand with more terrain.

[@leonardohenriquez7814]

If you can, please back this game! This is my favorite board game of all time! Would love to see it return!

Same!

I've been super stoked ever since this got announced. Love seeing the new units in action, and love the new colors and army cards they chose for the units!

[@tahubob]

Love all the new unit designs, for everyone on the fence the game definitely holds up!

At first I wasnt planning on backing this but after seeing your video I am now. Saw this on the FB post. Thank you for posting it there btw!

Yusss, HeroScape is basically the intro to wargaming for so many of us. It's great for Wargamer parents to buy for their kids to start them on the path. Those parents may find that they enjoy the game even more than expected!

[@Ozzymandios]

Hey guys- I am huge into HS. I've always alternated each " turn" Thats why they are secretly #d... So 1st player reveals their #1 marker, 2nd player reveals their #1 marker then back to 1st player for marker #2 activation and so on. At the end of the Round you reset Turn Markers then roll to see who goes 1st Round 2

[@Ozzymandios]

Oh! seems like you got that nuance after all! Good job fellas!

[@roseheart270]

You can tell their enthusiasm by how fast they're talking :D

[@Flllyi2]

Just a heads-up this game will not go into production unless it is backed on haslab. At time of writing it has 12 days left and still needs 5000 backers! If anyone is interested, they should grab the deal now because if it is not backed on haslab it will not be released ever.

[@evancrites1787]

And it is a deal. Per the devs on discord, when it funds and goes to retail, it will be split into smaller sets that will cost more overall. If $250 is too much now, consider that waiting could make it cost $300 or even $400 later. And that’s without the exclusives!
