Avalon Hill sent us part of the new Age of Annihilation Heroscape set a year in advance, and Luka and I try it out.

It is 2022. I was not expecting Heroscape of all things in my sub feed, but I'm ALL FOR IT
When it got quietly announced in august I had to stop myself from hooting and hollering at a work event 😂
@@danielchance4157 I didn’t... and I was at work when I saw
Then back it! We need to reach8k if we want heroscape to not die!
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.
It's too bad that they don't advertise more or better to get the backers needed. Hell if CZcams 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.
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.
i still have the old game with most of the expansions and miniatures (now used for dnd)
These figures look so so cool!!! I want to show case these figures on my channel some day.
Thank you for playing our game and getting the word out! It's a great option for a slightly less rigorous skirmish gaming setting. Even my non war gaming friends like to play, it's like a board game! :)
OMG!?!? I love this game. Started playing in college in '05. Can't wait for it to return. I just backed a copy!
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.
Great game! Got one for myself, and another as a Christmas gift for my nephew next year! Can't wait!
Such an awesome game. Backed a copy today! Hope we can reach the funding goal!
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.
Preach! I agree with all of this. Personal favorite game I've ever played, honestly.
Ah the good old WTF squads
These figures looked fun! Ive backed already, but I’ll be backing 2-3 more copies
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
Yeah, Hellforge is pretty awesome
Thank you for covering this playthrough! Sharing this with everyone I know to spread the word about the Haslab!
Great video, thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the revival of Heroscape. I’m a backer, let’s get this funded!
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.
Thank you for posting. Seriously hope to see this project fund!
Thanks so much Tyler! I really hope they succeed as well.
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.
Plus the terrain is clutch for DnD nights
Exactly the terrain on its own is amazing
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.
Baby's first 40k
The gateway drug for any wargamer.
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.
The Battle of All Time returns!! $250? That's a BIG BOX!!
It’s like 10lbs or something lol
@@DemagogueBibleStudy That's a lot of value
Oh my god it’s back!!! I loved this game as a kid
You can fall in love with it all over again!
@@evancrites1787 excited to
@@glynrh8892 tell your friends, tell your enemies, tell your pets. HEROSCAPE HAS A SHOT TO COME BACK!
Backed! Really hoping it succeeds. Excited to paint those minis.
The furnace us such a huge model for a single hex space. I love it.
Loving the new mini colors and the card design -- it looks so much better in person
this is a great game i use to play back in the day, loads of fun. i love these new units too!
The terrain in extremely modular and once you reach a critical mass you can essentially build anything
Backing this so fast! I feel like a kid on his birthday!
The announcement, when it came out, completely blew my mind!
Looks great! Let's bring her back gang! We need all hands on deck!
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.
I love the way these minis look! And the army card designs are super interesting! Gameplay looks really fun.
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!
Thanks for joining in to bring this game back!
If you can, please back this game! This is my favorite board game of all time! Would love to see it return!
Same!
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
Oh! seems like you got that nuance after all! Good job fellas!
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.
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!
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!
I played the original and it was amazing. I'm in to back the remake.
I really hope this gets backed! Some of those figures look so awesomr
Fantastic video! Love me some Heroscape!! It would be a dream come true to see this come back into production.
Yes! One of the best gateway tabletop games ever released!
Revna's cyborgs get so many turns! o.o
I can totally see that furnace grabbing and eating his enemies.
We needed this, but we still need more help to get this funded! LET'S GOOOOOOO!!!
Oh, let's go! I love this game, and I want this campaign to be rescued so much!
This game has been my life since it’s release. Thank you for spotlighting it! Let’s get this thing funded.
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
It's awesome to see the enthusiasm escalate as you guys get deeper into the game. That's what heroscape is built for - a simple, intuitive game where you can relax, smash bungus boys together, and have a laugh with the crew. Great video!
the nostalgia is strong. would love to see them painted
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 😁
Thanks for creating this video, gents. This channel’s new to me, too - Looks great. Thank you again for spotlighting Heroscape!
Can't wait, let's get this funded!!!
I love the synergy of the different factions!! This needs to get funded!
Tell people about it. Feels like Hasbro’s dropped the ball, so us fans need to convert people
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!
I didnt even know this was a thing until I saw this video in my feed. Thank you for posting this and getting the word out. I just hope the campaign turns out successful.
One way to help (that I’ve been doing as a fan) is to let your friends know about it. They may have also enjoyed it back in the day, and every backer helps!
Oh my gods, I'm not even that old, but for me this is a massive throwback. I used to play this a ton as a kid.
And you can play it again if this funds!
Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. Tell everyone you know about AoA!
Solid video! Great quality and really showcases the fun aspect of heroScape! So jealous Btw! 😮
Throw a guy a bone, right?!
YES
thank you for showing off my childhood game of choice
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!
I want more tiles too!!!
Just backed!! Let’s do this!
Thanks for making and posting this! It was cool to see some of the synergy in action. Here's hoping for a big last minute push.
Absolutely backing this! Looks amazing!
Love all the new unit designs, for everyone on the fence the game definitely holds up!
This looks sick, definitely gonna get it
Oh hell yes! I hope that the haslab gets funded and we all get to experience this awesome new set for ourselves, my husband has been playing Heroscape for years now and introduced me to it. We're excited! 🎲
It won't it's been dead in the water for weeks now. The sell model is ridiculous.
I'm still going to be hopeful that it will, or a miracle will happen. 🤷🏻♀️
We can still hope. I want to have some fuzzy paragliders
The pirates look sweet. So many fun synergies! Also the Ironclads have really grown on me
I really appreciate you posting a video on this. I really really really really hope this game gets funded.
Zommers everywhere just got warp head teir nostalgia mindblown
The Hellforge looks fricken awesome!
You can tell their enthusiasm by how fast they're talking :D
Great video! HeroScape is an amazing game, and I really hope this campaign is successful!
Me too!
So excited for this, I hope this backs so badly
Here we go!
Let's bring back Heroscape!!!
Maybe if it comes back, we could get some airborne sea mammals 👀
#savetheskywhales
Super cool, the Ironclad models look dope (imagine using them as twisted Necrons!) and the pirates seem really fun to play - will have to back a copy of this for sure!
Matt and Luca are my favorite! 🙌🏼 need more battle reports with them
The new figures are completely worth the wait i love the death forge
Great video! Will back this!
So pumped for this!
Love the look of these new designs!
Mmmm sparkly water
RETURN TO MY CHILDHOOD
So jealous you got a try these out
commenting to help this get more view
Replying to this comment to help this get more views and to give Taylor a dopamine boost 😁
Looking forward to this!
THIS IS MY FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME! EVERYONE LETS SAVE THIS GAME AND BACK!!!
Same! Let's save Valhalla!
This looks amazing, some great childhood memories and looks even better than the original.
Wish the mardu came back
@@wiccanthropy1956 The Marro? looks like there is 1 Marro figure in this set First Officer Bok-Bur-Na but I've heard if this funds they'll be making more expansions, hopefully more Marro!!!
Already backed. Let's bring Heroscape to life again!
I’m not crying you’re crying
Appreciate y'all trying the game out!
I got the big box of this as a kid and never had anyone to play with!
A game that never gets old. Options are endless
Go go heroscape
Man, I really hope it gets funded!!! 🙏🏻
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.
Hope this great game can find an audience again
Love your Vids and love Heroscape! Great mid level wargaming!
12 years ago, Heroscape was discontinued. I remember getting so into Heroscape that I covinced others to play as well. There was no miniwargaming community in my hometown, so Heroscape was the best we had without going two towns over for other games. Got so into the game that I even convinced my family to get Heroscape stuff for me for lik 5 years in a row. So glad to see it coming back.
These new figures look great in the showcase.
This campaign must succeed!!!😤
it's not gonna
Let's get this FUNDED!!!
I'd forgotten I still had the old core set of this. There were some neat rules quirks and all the units were pretty diverse. The order markers let you do things like deny an opponent their turn by killing whatever they were going to use next. Also, if you're running duplicate units, you can activate any of them, irrespective of starting squad, as long as you're only activating up to the surviving number on the unit card you activated, having duplicates can mitigate a lot of damage and give some tactical flexibility in objective-based modes.
There were also a bunch of neat units, for some examples:
- One unit turned excess blocks into wounds against their attacker in melee.
- One unit could negate all ranged wounds with one block.
- 2 different heroes provided buffs when they died.
- 1 hero could delete medium squad models instead of attacking.
They crammed a lot of tactical diversity into a small amount of rules text.
I think the best way to play was alternately buying units from a shared pool. Sacrificing synergy for counter-picks or denying the opponent their synergies leads to scrappier games with more back-and-forth instead of just comparing tribal synergies. You get more mindgames going when there isn't such a clear, linear battleplan provided to you by faction mechanics.
Back it people. Bring scape back!
