The Skrai
« on: 19 January 2010, 02:29:48 PM »
I had a bunch of Marro figures from Heroscape. I thought I was done with them. Then I realized I wasn't.
Every figure has had something done to it - usually a head or weaponswap, though the hounds just got antennae.

Drybrushed up to tabletop quality.

Those are just sewing pins clipped short and bent in interesting shapes.

Those are indeed - From the Blitz, Sabretooth, Cougar, and non-truescale Archer, if I remember correctly.

They look really great. I'm not familiar with Heroscape so might have to try out my google-fu.

. I'm not familiar with Heroscape .


It was going to be a huge game about four or so years ago ,wasn't supported in Europe but in the American market it had a lot of supplements and did well i believe.
It was a big box game completely stuffed with bits,in fact there were so many you could never get them all in again once you opened it . The game contained a multitude of hex tiles that could be used to create all kinds of terrain and 30 painted plastic figures . I hear when the game was being sold off cheaply  that Battle Tech players bought it for the hexes.
Last year the game was on sale in the Uk for 1/3 of its original price

heres a link to BGG if you want more info

Hasbro dumped Heroscape over to Wizards of the Coast who are now handling it.  A D&D version came out this month.  Nice source for a variety of pre-painted miniatures from many different areas of gaming.

thanks for the heads up, how do they fit against 28mm minis?

The human ones tend to be a little large - I'd guess more 35mm, and their stances are usually quite wide.

The Skrai (and therefore the Marro) are comparable to most "heroic scale" 28mm figures.
