Heroscape 2024: Age of Annihilation Master Set Launch Details

Well, well, well, if it ain’t that Heroscape comin’ back in a big way in 2024. Folks been waitin’ for this day for years, and it looks like it’s finally here! For them that don’t know, Heroscape is this big ol’ tabletop game that’s been a favorite of a lot of people—lots of folks like it ’cause it’s got them little figures, and you can build all sorts of battles and fight ’em out right on your table. Ain’t that something? It’s like playin’ with toys, but all grown-up and serious-like.

Now, Heroscape, it ain’t been around for a long while. It disappeared from shelves back in 2010, and let me tell ya, it left a big ol’ hole in people’s hearts. But don’t you worry, ’cause in 2024, they’re bringin’ it back with somethin’ called “Age of Annihilation.” Sounds mighty fancy, don’t it? Folks are already all excited about it, and I can see why. They say this new box set is gonna be somethin’ special, bringin’ new heroes, new villains, and plenty of terrain to make your battles look real nice.

The Master Set’s supposed to drop in August 2024, just in time to mark 20 years since Heroscape first hit the scene! Now that’s somethin’ to celebrate. What’s inside this new set? Well, they got a bunch of figures, and some of them are painted up real pretty, while others come just plain so you can paint ’em yourself if you’re feelin’ crafty. I ain’t one for all that painting myself, but I know some folks get a real kick out of it. But the real kicker is the battle terrain, it’s got some real nifty pieces to help set up your battlefield just the way you want it.

And if you’re lookin’ for something more, there’s the Battle for the Wellspring box. Now this one’s a bit different, it’s got some extra figures and a whole new set of scenarios to play out. I reckon it’ll keep them Heroscape fans busy for a long time. I heard tell that folks have been waitin’ a long time for all this to come back. Well, I’ll be, it sure took ’em long enough!

But hold your horses, there’s more! The good folks at Renegade Game Studios ain’t stoppin’ there. In Spring 2025, they’re gonna bring out somethin’ else called “Rising Tide.” I don’t know too much about it yet, but if it’s anything like what we’re seein’ now, it’s gonna be somethin’ to get excited about. They’re addin’ new factions, new figures, and maybe even some new lands to explore. Sounds like it’s gonna be a whole lot of fun.

For them folks that wanna get in on the action early, you can pre-order the Age of Annihilation Master Set right now. It’s available in both the plain version and the painted one. Folks on Amazon are already talkin’ about gettin’ their orders in, and you can expect them first deliveries to show up come August 8th, 2024. So if you’re hopin’ to get your hands on a set before it sells out, better make sure to get a move on!

Now, this game, it ain’t just about the figures and the battles. It’s got a whole bunch of backstory to it, too. If you take a look at them Thormun’s Journals, you’ll get to learn all about the history of the game, all them different factions, and what’s been goin’ on in the world of Heroscape since it first started. They’re real good for folks who wanna dive deep into the lore of it all. But let me tell ya, you don’t need all that fancy backstory to enjoy the game. Just throw some figures on the table, make up your own story, and have at it!

All in all, this is one mighty return for Heroscape. Whether you’re a long-time fan or just gettin’ into it, 2024’s gonna be a big year. Ain’t no doubt about it. I reckon there’s gonna be a lot of happy gamers sittin’ around their tables, rollin’ them dice and movin’ them little soldiers around. And for them who’ve been waitin’ for this day, it’s like a dream come true. So get ready, folks—Heroscape’s back, and it’s better than ever!
