New to this sub. I had no idea heroscape was brought back until recently, I see the painted master set is out of stock on the renegade website. Does anyone know if it gets restocked often or if it was a limited run for the painted version?
Hey all!
I posted a similar thread last week looking for some army feedback for my upcoming store championship. After a lot of testing and changing things up I think I finally decided on the following:
Knight Primus Adelbern
Frostclaw Paladins
Ordo Borealis
Syvarris 2.0
I feel like this army has all the tools needed in the contemporary meta but wanted some feedback from more seasoned contemporary players with more experience in the current GI Joe meta.
Edit: I should also mention I do not own any GI Joe figures and our tournament has a 2x common limit.
I'm hosting a group of friends for a friendly tournament for my birthday next month, and I'm looking for some army suggestions. Most of these friends have played the game a few times but aren't super familiar with all the cards, so to save time I want to pre-build armies for them to choose from. I was thinking in the 500-ish point range, all time format.
Can you guys suggest some armies/builds that are fun to play at the casual level?
I’m in northeast Ohio so am tentatively making a last minute plan to go this Saturday to https://heroscape.org/events/tournament/?Tournament=1155 however it is a very unique tournament format and I’m having trouble thinking of ideas to exploit so looking for suggestions.
Event description:
Bring 1 600pt/20fig Army
Delta Points Enabled. Marvel and any unreleased Renegade figures are banned.
Affiliation Wars - Renegade Scape is Unaffiliated
All figures in your army must start the game with the same General/Affiliation. However, Renegade figures are considered unaffiliated, and can be counted as any general/affiliation! If you only have Renegade figures in your army, pick an Affiliation from one of the figures in your army to represent your whole army for the whole event. Otherwise, Renegade figures are considered to follow whichever Affiliation your non-Renegade figures follow.
Special powers for Renegade released cards that reference a specific General:Affiliation change to match the Affiliation you are playing. For example:
If you play Frostclaw Paladins with Sir Hawthorne in an Utgar army, any references to Jandar in Jandar Champion Bonding change to reference Utgar instead, allowing you to bond with Hawthorne.
Crimson Twins may use Bankroll to change the Affiliation of one Unique Hero prior to the game.
This is just a portion of what I own, the problem: They’re Brittle. Pretty much any amount of flexing or bending will cause them to snap. Do I send em out with a bang, making a mega map and bombing a couple games before their inevitable demise? Or something else?
Hey gang, just wanted to share for anyone who searches out a good color for painting heroscape orcs. Historically, the heroscapers forum had a "paint guide" for Oldscape. I've used the recommendations there a few times to great success but, being a rather dated guide at this point, many of the colors are no longer in production.
All this to say, when you google colors for orc skin/flesh the results are generally unclear or reference a few paints that can be mixed to get the iconic greenish-blue tone. I did a few test strokes using War Paints green-blues on a Grimnak I had laying around to do some color matching. I did a black nuln oil wash over each color to match the general wash over the rest of the orc's body. The images in the post are the results
I think there is a case to be made on any of these three shades but I prefer the Phalanx Blue (WP3034) personally and would consider the Shieldwall Blue (WP3035) as well, but it's a little too light IMO (maybe closer to a match on a sunbleached or faded figure). The Tidal Blue (WP3033) is just slightly too dark and blue, especially after washing with black.
Hopefully this guide helps 1 person paint/repair heroscape orcs.
Are there any good resources for getting a feel for the Modern metagame? I'm trying to get an army sorted for the store champs next month and I don't have a good understanding of how the Modern format is different from All-Time. If you don't have the boogymen/staples like rats, minutemen, knights, and OG Raelin, what does the meta look like?
Heroscapers.com uses to be the go-to but the competative army discussion there is essentially dead. I haven't been able to find any youtuber content creaters that aren't annoying, and Renegade doesn't seem to have tournament results and army lists posted on their website (though given how bad their website is, it may be hidden there somewhere.)
Are there any good resources out there?
Currently sorting through a lot I had purchased of renegade stuff and there’s one copy of each terrain pack within the lot all scattered around. I’ve opened the snow and swamp packs before and knew what to expect but with lava fields it says online “20 molten lava tiles” and then lists the lava outcrops. By my count I have 15, and 5 as the bases. I haven’t sorted it all yet but am I correct in assuming that the 5 single bases count towards the 20 total molten lava tiles?
Also, idk if caverns of Valhalla is shipped yet but I assume the same holds true for the rocky outcrops and shadow tile bases?
I picked up the new G.I. Joe set from Games and Stuff in Glen Burnie yesterday.
Which store is closest to you?

I’ve been having trouble trying to purchase from the website. I do have a current preorder in so that may be the issue. But I keep getting
Unfortunately one or more items cannot be shipped to your location.
It’s the same place I’ve sent several orders before and where the preorder is set to. Anyone have any issues like this?
Hello!
We have a small community of players at epic loot games that meet on Wednesdays at 6, feel free to drop in!
The CROSSROADS OF ULFENROD is a custom creation. I envisioned an overgrown forest at the intersection of an old trade road. Outposts exist at its corners that have long been forgotten about. This will be our next battlefield! I will attempt to make build instructions.
Hello, i just had a disappointing experience with Renegade. In the past, I placed several preorders with them, and most of the time everything went smoothly, aside from one incorrect promo figure.
However, last year I placed another preorder and ended up waiting an entire year without any update. When I contacted them, I was told that not all items were available and that they couldn’t fulfill my order. I was then given the choice to either cancel the unavailable items or cancel the entire order.
Unfortunately, there was nothing they could do to resolve the situation, which made the whole experience even more frustrating after such a long wait. Because of this, I will avoid ordering directly from them in the future and will switch to other retailers instead.
Hey all!
I just wanted some feedback on two potential eisenek armies.
Both armies will have:
Iron Lich Vicerot
Necrotech Wraithriders
Scavorith
But then for the remaining 75 points, I'm between:
Exiles of the Sundered Sea
Or
Revnan Acolytes
Kita the Springrunner
Im not sure if the boost from the Acolytes is worth sacrificing over the versatility of the exiles and then Kita just ends up being a filler unit.
What are everyone's thoughts??
