Hey everyone, I just wanted to post this here in case the visibility helps at least one person discover this awesome game. Or for any old fans who didn't know this was going on. Heroscape is a game I played as a kid, its been discontinued for 12+ years now but they're trying to bring it back. This time around the price point to enter is a little high, but still, a good value when considering other plastic miniature games. Personally have backed 5 sets, hoping it reaches its goal.

You are back on the remote planet of Valhalla, a once peaceful world now torn apart by evil. Dynastic rulers known as Valkyrie are fighting to control the wellsprings, mystical fountains that bestow mighty powers – but can also bring on the curse of frightening visions of total destruction. Esoteric warriors from across time and space battle for power and glory. Will they save their world, or face utter annihilation?

HEROSCAPE: AGE OF ANNIHILATION transports you to the next era of the popular expandable miniature wargaming system. It includes stunningly detailed miniatures that allow you to create your own rich world. Using modular tiles, you build sprawling battlefields on which to play out battles between powerful and unconventional factions pulled not only from Earth but also from other planets across the galaxy.

The game features:

• 71 finely detailed miniatures, in molded colors that denote their affiliations.
• 50 army cards, providing game rules for your miniatures.
• An expandable hex-based modular tile terrain system, including 74 base pieces and 68 wall terrain pieces, 9 jungle terrain pieces, with which you can build varied, multilevel landscapes for your battles.
• 5 original factions designed for this game, each with unique skills and strategies. Play as the Dryan Lifeborne Order, the Nemesis War Brood, the Dawn Raider Syndicate, the Clockwork Combine, or the Ironclad Collective!
• Customizable armies in which each figure is given a point value, allowing you to choose which units to include in your army to suit your own playstyle.
• 20 game scenarios specially created for AGE OF ANNIHILATION.

Every component of this incredible game system is fully backward- and forward-compatible.

This crowdfunded project will run from October 1, 2022, to 11:59pm ET on November 15, 2022. If successful, the project will begin shipping around Fall 2023.
