Trash 2 Terrain Episode 1: Grimdark Sci-fi Building!
Im most excited for the bugs in part two, they look like alot of fun and im excited to field them
Sonlen "Flying special power" do they mean "Dragon Assault?" Stupid wording on the card.
When Dragon Assault refers to "Flying Special Power", it means that you get an extra attack die on the first attack if Sonlen moved and used his Flying ability this turn. So long as he moves at least 1 hex, he gets the extra attack die. I believe that's how it works.
Are you planning on more battle reports?
Yes! Unfortunately with work and kids, they're very difficult to schedule, but I would very much like to record/post more battle reports soon. Stay tuned!
@frogofwargaming I want to see the snow vs lava guy's
@@BeatDownMagic Good request! That can certainly be arranged 🐸
@@frogofwargaming cooooool
The reason there is no Commons coming out right now has absolutely nothing to do with renegade and they definitely didn't say they're not going to make any commons, the reason it's like that is because of the last people who originally made all these figures we already know of common figures that renegade is releasing
Yeah, I do wish Renegade had reworked some of the Avalon Hill stuff to be common or uncommon. In-store promos, especially, would help foster consistent interest in community play, since it's not a one-and-done thing.
I agree. I'd definitely like to see some common army expansions in the future, so long as they aren't easy to spam and abuse
The main reason avalon didn't make anything common was because it was all from AoA master set, and they didn't want people to have to feel like they needed multiple master sets for a complete army
@@megabubfish that is why heroscape failed before because they mixed Commons and uniques, because of that stores couldn't sell, the reason they couldn't sell was because no one wanted multiple uniques,, what to get the commons they needed multiple uniques which was waste of money,, Commons are absolutely going to be coming out separately to
@@frogofwargaming like I was saying they are sending commons they've already brought that up during a renegadecon
We already know of three other familiars that we will be getting and if they do more then more
Have some new familiars been spoiled? I wasn't aware of that
@frogofwargaming they aren't new those 3 are all the ones from the giant box that didn't get funded so over a year ago we already knew about the 3
@@nicksnyder6370 Ah, gotcha. I'll have to look into those - I can't recall them off the top of my head.
@frogofwargaming one has four wings and it's called a zenith wing one is a brambletooth or something but the other two have Vines growing around them
Adlebarn is also large and wild for the death chasers of thesk, the ordo can be boosted by a few different old school heros. Old sonlen .
Wow, I hadn't even thought of that! Good catch.
Dang, I didn't even think about healing multi-wound squad figures. That will give them significantly more staying power!
Concan the Kyrie Warrior adjacent to all 3 Ordo Borealis figures on height makes them range:7 / attack:5 / defense:6!
I've got a lot of first hand experience with the hellforge...it is an absolute *Blast* to play
I am excited to see it roll out! Any thoughts on the size relative to the base?
@@megabubfish It's surprisingly compact and dense. I haven't had any trouble maneuvering it on a map, but there is definitely some denial when its front facing for things with wide wingspans like nilfeim or xenithrax
It looks like a fun one!
Love all the figures here! Adelburn is my preferred ursine champion over irene, ordo borealis are a good compliment to have alongside the frostclaws, Halushia is another good addition to the dryans alongside Raakchott and Ewashia, and Hellforge will have amazing synergy with Iron Lich Viscerot. And Sonlen's abilities are slightly better on paper than old Sonlen. 2 attacks of 5 and then 4 could potentially be very bad for your enemy. But I personally prefer dragon swoop because it could take care of figures like Isamu and the deathreavers. Also, his old dragon healing could be from 4 spaces away, so he didn't need to get into the action. So I love all the new figures, but I'm cautious about sonlen. I'll have to test him out to see. Because the old sonlen could be very hit or miss in games too, depending on how well you roll the d20. So maybe this one will just be more consistent 20:17 I mean, up until now I think there are only 2 AoA figures that have a range value of more than 1. Bok-Bur-Na and Iron Lich Viscerot. There are some ranged special attacks, but still.
I agree with your analysis. It's a powerful batch of units!

Hey, what a great video! Whoever those two guys are talking, they sound really knowledgeable and wise and also attractive! Can't wait for part 2!
I concur! But who are these mysterious, strangly-sensual, Heroscape officianados?
A favourite champion of mine.
Good choice! Mournblade is a fun, tricky tool to bring to a match.
@@frogofwargaming Kailinn is a wonderful Maelstrom. Great mobility and solid offence vs minions.
Agreed! Kailinn is one of (if not the) strongest champions in the game.
Movement boons are particularly fun on Morrigan! 4 speed each phase is nothing to scoff add.
I completely agree! Morrigan is a banner-crushing machine when given the right boons.
Ah Styx, the champion with the superpower of abilities just working.
Rolling to use skills is for nerds! Styx knows what's up 😎
Titus is a great all-rounder! He was my second champion-killer for the longest time, since I didn’t have another Slayer.
Titus kicks ass! He knocks around followers and champions alike.
Maxen is ol’ reliable: he’ll tho some work into anything with 3 armour or less. The gearhawks’ free accuracy really emphasises this, since it makes all your accuracy 4 teammates able to hit pesky dodge 4 units way more consistently!
Maxen is great! He's always a good pick and fits in nicely with any warband. Plus he's a dwarf, which gives him bonus points!
Those damn frogs have denied me more banners than I’d like to admit
The Froglodytes are some of my favorite followers in the game! They're perfectly annoying for your opponent and are adorable models 🐸
Recently got Jeen, can’t wait to try her! She seems great at speeding up slow champs like Titus and Helena
She's probably the best speed-buffing champion in the game!
The feeling of starting next to an enemy champion with a dragon has yet to be matched for me! Kreta’s commands chew up almost anything
Keera and her dragons are some of the scariest units in the game! Anytime my opponent brings her, I know I'm in for a tough match.
The 4 skull roll was so cinematic! Luck was playing favorites just a bit in this battle it felt like. I’m usually on the pointy end of that one too. I’ve been gaming my whole life but somehow missed HS entirely. You two sold it really well, this is the first play through I’ve watched. Thanks!
I will admit, my dice were pretty hot this game... But nonetheless, it was a super fun, cinematic battle! I'm glad that you enjoyed it! More Heroscape content is on the horizon 🐸
They need to stay rooted a dip back into knights and maybe a samurai or two, with maybe some middle eastern warriors for Einar. I hope they don’t keep leveraging the futuristic and fantasy angle. I think it’s good they have those, but don’t forget the historical angle as well. Heroscape is a battle *for all time*.
S: none A: none (especially compared to the powerhouses coming in wave 3) B: Iron Lich, Necrotechs, Mielki, Glinerva C: Breech D: Kilkorax E: Queen Qhyrion, Xiamara
That's a bit harsh! I think that the new Eisenek stuff looks super strong, although I haven't been able to test any of it yet. But I do agree that some of the wave 3 releases look nuts
@@frogofwargaming Nah, Bears are super strong. like Iron Lich + Necrotechs vs Bears + Alastair I take bears everyday and yet the combo cost less than the Eisenek combo. Bears are 4 and have that supplementary defense which is very helpful, with 3 defense Necrotech often lose both their lives in one attack which just hurts so much.
@@frogofwargaming I've played multiples games with and vs Necrotech+Iron lich already and it's high tier in then new stuff, fast and can catch heroes, but can't compete vs massed commons from the old stuff. The combo just cost too much.
Yeah, the bears certainly are strong! Not to spoil our next tier-list, but I think that Alastair is busted as hell, so I don't know if he's a good gage to compare other units against.
That's fair! Although, not many things in the game can complete against mobs of common squads. Quantity will always beat quality eventually!
Love the added gears on all of the models. I’ve never attempted to paint anything in my life but this is one I never painted just because of the way it’s color coded. Does that make the game harder for you?
Thanks! The colored plastic is good for new players and helps the models stand out on the table, but having them painted doesn't impede gameplay at all. I've also seen some people who paint the rims of the bases to match the classes' color.
The dice tray is large and looks like it has a foam insert so it’s not incredibly loud even on the walls. Was this a DYI or did you pick it up somewhere?
Believe it or not, my dice tray is actually the inner linning of an old purse! I view most objects through the lense of "Would this work for tabletop gaming?" 😆
He’s talking about Durthax from Godtear. I love it I just got him! Just learning about heroscape and your channel has been great.
Ayy I'm glad to hear it! It's great to see another Godtear fan in the wild! Stay tuned - more hex-based goodness is on its way 🐸
I bought a few packs because of your shorts. This one looks great as well.
I'm glad to hear it! It's a really fun game - I'd love to see it grow. Styx is one of my favorite champs!
Love it! Styx is one of my favourites!
What game is this?
@@BeatDownMagic This is Godtear by Steamforged Games! I've played dozens of different miniatures skirmish/wargames amd this one is my all-time favorite 👌
@@frogofwargaming I will have to look into it
@BeatDownMagic You definitely should! It's a very fun game
Dude ive had that giant since i was a kid but never actually played. Ive been using him as a giant in D&D now, treating him as an absolute VILLAIN. Never did it cross my mind that he could be a good guy
Ayyy he's a sweet model! I've also been using Heroscape models for D&D for years - they work great for it!
Really love the heroscape content! That’s why I’ve subbed
I'm glad you like it! More Heroscape content will be coming soon. Stay tuned! 🐸
Such a fun game. 😂
I'm glad you like it! It was one of the most fun games of Scape that I've ever played
I finally got my painted wave 2 and once again the paint jobs are really bad. That coupled with their design choices and high prices pretty much removes any further interest in the series for me. I am going to stick with my legacy figures that look much better and thematically work. The construction workers just don't cut it.....
The sub-par paint jobs paired with the massive price hikes have certainly hurt the relaunch of this game... Those are the big reasons why I haven't purchased any new Heroscape yet, despite being an almost lifelong fan of the game. And while I do think that most of the legacy figures look better than the new stuff, I really like the Eisenek units. I think they look neat, aesthetically and gameplay-wise 👌
I’ve played with the kyries, here’s my impressions: Glinerva: Really splashy. Played well, Glinerva can blank 1-2 enemy turns over the course of a game or at least force bad engagements. But she is just a 5/3/3 at the end of the day. A Kilkorax: Really fun! I love suping her up with the Vikings and her sister its fun. But god is she way too limited. She basically can’t move heroes, she can’t move your own units. If just some of those restrictions were lifted this could be a great figure. C Mielki: Incredible figure, but fragile. You need to be careful, but she can easily jump in and trounce figures. A Queen Qhyrion: I love this figure but the low speed and inconsistent ability really really hurts her. She either needed more move or for them to commit to the bit and given her 4 range. D 😢 Xiamara: This figure exists to cover for Mielki’s weakness. Is that worth it? With time to set up oh yes. But often times you’re going to just want to play Mielki as your last 100 points. B
What's not to like about dragons?
1. Great choice in music 2. Thank you for making Godtear content there is barely any on RUclips
Weird Al is the GOAT 👌 And you're welcome! There definitely is a void of Godtear content that I'd like to fill.
I didn't know they put your mother in a tabletop game
They make a mini for your mother too, but I couldn't fit it on the table 😎
These minis look so cool.
Thanks! Godtear has some fantastic miniatures 👌
Ewashia for my league nights have stolen the show. Run her to high ground and sit a water tile under her, hit mostly anything on the board in a line for attack 4, utilize the owl to double attack squads down, its insane the value you get for 115+50.
That sounds strong! I'll definitely have to try that strategy out.
I would pronouce Misaerx as misery
Possibly! It's certainly a tricky name to pronounce
Cornelius Breech is the best just on name alone 🦈🏴☠️⚔️
His name is fantastic 👌
10/10 would watch again
I'm glad you liked it! 🐸
Awesome video! I honestly thought Raakchott was a whole lot stronger till you pointed out that it was 3 markers max. With that said I don’t think it’s going to be that bad either because you can get Consume Markers from your own units as well. It’s not ideal planning on losing units but having Raakchott sit back behind your main line or bonding beasts for a revenge splash could be good.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I also thought that Raakchott was a lot more powerful until Earl reread the card to me. Although surrounding him with your own squishy units is a neat idea! You could even use units that destroy thenselves (like the Nagrubs) to farm consume markers. Could be a fun strategy! Although the payoff is still a bit underwhelming...
I think Glinerva is going to wind up being a total S tier. The fact that she can use that aura without needing to use a turn on her is nuts. I probably agree that Queen Qhyrion is too expensive but ... I don't care cause that's the coolest mini in AoA so far. I think Stealth Flying is worth losing 1 move, my bigger problem is only having 4 life. I'm planning to use her with the VC Crypt Guardians, and I'm quite excited about that.
Glinerva could absolutely be an S-tier figure, especially depending on your opponent's list. It is tricky to gauge the power level of her auro though. I'm certainly curious how the community will rate her once people have had the chance to test her out. I agree that Queen Qhyrion is a phenomenally designed model 👌 What are the VC Crypt Guardians?
@@frogofwargaming Crypt Guardians are custom units by C3V that were designed to make Sudema more of a viable character. I'm gonna add Qhyrion to that army cause the Guardians are able to bond with any Queen! It'll be slow, but should at least be a lot of fun.
Gotcha! I'll have to look into them
S TIERS: Iron Lych Viscerot, A TIERS: Kilkorax, Mielki, Necrotech Wraithriders B TIERS: Glinerva, Xiamara C TIERS: Kilkorax, Cornelius Breech, Queen Qhyron, Xiamara D TIERS: Queen Qhyron
Earl is dressed like the Chad meme.
Now I can't unsee it 😆
Lol how did I miss that??
Fun fact, the Exiles used to be aquilla units! renegade changed around some of the generals, alongside some other units (Killian Vane, Xenithrax, and Kita, and likely Ewashia and Onshu)
Interesting! I certainly like the Exiles as an Utgarr unit. I think the changes that Renegade has made have been pretty solid
Sneaky, Stabby, A little shooty is a great way to describe the exiles. Great and fun overview (Also, an entire orc squad would be awesome)
I'm glad you liked it! I very much want to see more orcs returning to Heroscape.
@@RogueScaper Ah HA! Even RogueScaper agrees (maybe) that they should have been Orcs!
@@megabubfish I think the knaves should've been orcs, and the exiles shouldve been all the snake people
@RogueScaper That would have been very cool, I agree. However, I think having them be actual, historical pirates would have been even better and given the historical unit fans something to cling to.
@@megabubfish Good point! I definitely want to see the return of historic units
Nice overview guys. 👍
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it 🐸
Glad you enjoyed it! Wild to be seeing ToV watching a video I'm in!
@@megabubfish For sure. I try to watch as much content creators as possible. A lot of good stuff out there. 👍
Dorim is good to bond with the axegrinders with his charge ability.
Good point! I believe we discuss that synergy in the video. Even still, I dislike Dorim's charge ability. It's clunkily worded and will definitely confuse new players.
@@frogofwargaming what's confusing? It adds one movement point and the ability to re-roll an attack die is big. Just because you don't have axegrinders is no reason to downgrade him. Bonding is huge in the game.
I found the wording on Dorim's Charge ability to be clunky and confusing. It isn't inherently obvious what units he synergizes with, and as a starter set hero, that's a knock against him in my book. Rerolling a single attack die is fine, but isn't something that's going to make me pick him over more interesting units. BUT, I still think he's okay. He's got good offense and average defense. I think Dorim is a fine pick, I just don't think he's particularly powerful or exciting.
Nice job guys.
Thanks!
I need to check this game out .
You definitely should! I've played dozens of different miniatures games, and Godtear is my all-time favorite. More champion overviews are on their way - stay tuned!
Yet another fun game with you! Definitely more one-sided at the end than I expected, but it could have gone either way!
Aye, it was a great game with a great opponent! I look forward to more 🐸
