AGAINST THE OGRE HORDE discussion

[Kurgan]

Talked about the reveals for the first hour... on HeroQuestFans.

Can't wait to see what other details come forth as people pick it apart, and maybe we'll see an unboxing from the buyer? (crosses fingers for no pinkertons). Ash, ABNB, DungeonMaster, Jordan Sorcery, SirDeath, etc. should have some interesting takes!

Is it true that someone who visits this forum bought it??? That would be rad!

I totally would have gotten it if I found it in time. A link would have been nice too but oh well. Glad to see the minis will not disappoint. Was really hoping for some new monster types (like beatsmen) but these all look cool nonetheless. But why are the orc archers separated? Couldn't they just have shown one and listed it as "x4"? Are they different or was it just an aesthetic choice for the box art?

The quality of the box contents so far makes me wonder if Chris or Bill will ever be brought back somewhere down the line as consultants. I mean, you can't keep up the level of quality they have been putting out without good project leaders. And players who are used to this level of quality will surely notice if there was a drop in it.

I'm not sure of the circumstances of the layoffs, but they may not be as permanent as they seem. Just speculation of course, but many companies do layoffs and then hire some of the people back in a part time role later for less money. Ethically terrible but it happens quite often out there. And Chris said they had plans for releases through 2026. I could see Hasbroke letting others finish what is already pretty much done while they project leaders were laid off until the current stuff is finished.

It seems the box is going to be better than expected. Big ogres, plastic doors, big tiles, orc and skeleton archers, goblin bombers and the druids...
Is not the old Ogre Horde, it seems much better!

I’m really looking forward to seeing better resolution pics of the hero minifigs. I like having a Snowdasher included!

looks like they are right-handed and left-handed, two of each. I can't tell from the resolution if the sculpts are different or just mirrored.

Probably male and female.

Definetely different sculpts, one of them has a skirt.
And definetely a better sculpt than the previous druid.

About the 'new' Heroes included, for sure they are Druids because the left hand pile of cards are for sure the same Druid Spells included in the Mythic Tier box (check their artworks)...

Good catch!!

It's because they're trying to show how many of each sculpt is included in the box, even if they're absolutely identical in gameplay terms. This is the first box to advertise how many tiles there are, instead of just saying how many sheets are in there. But the MOTM and ROTDM showed the multiple archers and swordsmen (mirrored male and female variants) despite them being absolutely identical in mechanical gameplay terms.

GUYS I GOT IT... The Ogre shaman is not a shaman. It's just an Ogre female warrior! What do you think???
