Heroscape is a tabletop strategy game first published by Milton Bradley in 2004 (though it was transferred to Wizards of the Coast — also a Hasbro subsidiary — in 2008). The game is played on a three-dimensional battlefield made of interlocking plastic tiles, with each player commanding an army of figurines. Usually, the goal is to completely destroy the other player's army, but there are other variants. There is an unofficial-official website with a very active community.Now, there is a backstory concerning all the greatest warriors in the universe going to Valhalla to fight in an epic war to decide the fate of the cosmos. Frankly, though, none of that is terribly interesting and you'd be hard-pressed to find a fan who actually cares. What it comes down to is this: gladiators, wolf men, dragons, elves, vikings, valkyries, samurai, ninjas, zombies, robots, Ninja Pirate Zombie Robots, (no pirates though, sadly), orcs, knights, Bee People, jotuns, trolls, ghosts, cowboys, Marvel-brand superheroes, and Dungeons & Dragons characters are all duking it out on one battlefield.As of November 3rd, 2010, Wizards of the Coast announced that it was cancelling production of Heroscape. In 2015, Hasbro released Magic: The Gathering Arena of the Planeswalkers, a Spiritual Successor of sorts that plays similarly but changes some of the rules and mechanics.In August 2022, a revival was announced called Heroscape: Age of Annihilation. | |

Katanas Are Just Better: To the point where Valkyrie generals hand the leaders of their human soldiers katanas just to make sure they can still keep up with all the wizards and dragons they're up against. | |

Our Elves Are Different: Elves from Feylund make up the core of Ullar's army. Most possess potent ranged attacks (either from bows or magic), are described as being long lived, and they have a close connection with the natural world in their realm. | |

Sword and Gun: Agent Carr and the second version of Sgt. Drake Alexander both carry pistols alongside their BFS and katana respectively. It's a weaker attack than the sword, but handy in a pinch to get some damage in before closing to melee. | |

Heroscape (Tabletop Game) / int_45bf382b | comment |
Game Mod: Due to the game being long abandoned by its parent company, the community has long since taken up the slack and created a lot of fan expansions for the game over the years. Commonly this includes new stage set pieces and the like, such as crystal spires or new terrain, but new units aren't unheard of. Etsy, in particular, has a large collection of new homebrewed physical additions to the game. | |

Zombie Apocalypse: Possible with the Zombies of Morindan- when they kill a model, they have a rule that allows them to place a previously destroyed zombie in place of the recently slain enemy.

Shoulders of Doom: Major Q9's shoulders are almost three times the height of his head, are hollow, and block his line-of-sight. They're there to balance out his fairly decent armor and really awesome special attack; he can border on Game-Breaker in some scenarios. | |

Heroscape (Tabletop Game) / int_9d17b859 | comment |
Made of Iron: Unique Heroes often have high stats and several hit points, making them far more difficult to kill than the usual rank-and-file | |

Our Vampires Are Different | |
Heroscape (Tabletop Game) / int_9f63d4f1 | comment |
Our Vampires Are Different: The Esenwein family are a family of vampires from the world of Feylund. They can fly, heal themselves as they inflict damage on their enemies, and the family patriarch is a Necromancer who has raised armies of skeletons and zombies back on his homeworld. | |

One-Hit Kill | |
Heroscape (Tabletop Game) / int_a414c3f0 | comment |
One-Hit Kill: Runa, Sudema, Deadeye Dan, Grimnak (particularly notable in that his is the only one that's guaranteed to kill), Atlaga the Kyrie Warrior, Braxas, the Rechets of Bogdan, and Wo-Sa-Ga all have this as an ability. The Wyvern and the Drow Chainfighter can accomplish this too by using their powers to drop enemies into lava. | |

Wolf Man: Some of the evil residents of Feylund and one of the many members of Utgar's army. They gain additional attack powers the more identical squads they have, though they make up for it with low defense. | |

Heroscape (Tabletop Game) / int_b5ba2c2b | comment |
It's Raining Men: The Airborne Elite are World War II paratroopers that possess a unique mechanic of starting off the board for the first turn. Their controlling player then rolls a d20 until getting an 11+, at which point the Elite are placed anywhere on the board that isn't on top of another model. | |

Improbable Aiming Skills: All ranged units can hit you if they can see any part of their target and if said target is within range. Yes, that means that they can all consistently shoot the tip of your finger off while you are far away and surrounded by jungle. | |

Samurai: Exclusive to Einar's faction. There are four different Samurai Squads (three unique and one common), all of whom possess the Counterstrike ability, making them dangerous both offensively and defensively. | |

Ninja | |
Heroscape (Tabletop Game) / int_c37813c5 | comment |
Ninja: Every faction has at least one (Einar, being a faction centered around Army of The Ages, has both a hero and unique Ninja squad). They are nimble and can deal decent damage, but they're fragile (many of them, even unique heroes, being [One Hitpoint Wonders) and best to avoid protracted combats with tougher opponents. | |

Grappling Gun: Sgt. Drake Alexander carries one in both versions of his model. In the original, it's a rifle-sized gun that allows him to immediately scale heights up to 25 hexes tall (but only when standing right next to them), while his second version is an arm-mounted version that can go up to 45 hexes and has a range of 4 hexes. | |

Heroscape (Tabletop Game) / int_d7d588c8 | comment |
Lethal Lava Land: Introduced in an expansion. Convection, Schmonvection is averted, as standing on volcanic tiles has a chance of injuring a model, and stepping into lava proper is instant death no matter how many hit points a unit may have. Only the Obsidian Guards are immune, being lava golems. | |

Action Bomb: Deathstalker 7000, compared to its 8000 and 9000 compatriots, carries no guns and has only average attack and defense characteristics. It's much faster, though, and carries a special Suicide Attack rule that allows it to blow itself up and deal massive damage to anything standing too close. | |
