AGAINST THE OGRE HORDE discussion

[Nlinindoll]

Good catch! Did not know a Con in France was happening this month. What's the name? Maybe they will do a live stream like Lucca did?

I agree with everything you said. Hopefully it comes true!

EDIT: OK I found the name ... It's called Canne like the film festival. Don't see anything with Avalon hills name in the events calendar. Maybe HQ is distributed by another name in France?

Avalon Hill confirmed that they would be at the Canne Game Con back in Feb 4 on their Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C27vOCSLyEj ... JmNzMyNQ==

Thanks for posting. Yeah many of us don't have Instagram or X, and rely on you guys to report what appears there randomly! That's the beauty of our little HeroQuest fan community here and on discord... when something appears in one spot of social media, it can quickly and easily be shared with the rest, so a person doesn't need to have a many different accounts and spend time scouring all of them simultaneously each week. Every one of us is a reporter!

https://www.meeplemountain.com/articles/the-board-gamers-guide-to-board-game-conventions/. I only discovered this site recently with the schedule. Most of these conventions I had never heard of until this last round of expansions. So no more waiting for GenCon & PulseCon to learn what Hasbro is doing that they're not posting on their own pulse pages. Good info!

Instagram...
X (aka Twitter)...
Discord (Avalon Hill's specifically)...
Reddit...
Facebook...
BoardGameGeek...
Youtube & Twitch... (random influencers that pop up occasionally with exclusives)
???

There are other communities in other languages... Spanish, Italian, German, French...

Wow ok now we're talking!

This must be the sneak peek AH was talking about.

[Kurgan]

Awesome, reposting more from Canne posted on Instagram.

GeekGoneGiddy has posted a translation of the text displayed:

The attacker and defender each roll a number of
combat dice equal to their spirit points.
For each unblocked skull obtained by the attacker, the defender remains frozen for one turn. If the skull hits the defender, the spell has no effect.”

Goblin Archer
Ogre Commander

Skeleton Archer

Ogre Lord
Ogre Warrior

You are the Druid, guardian of the forests and powerful healer. You are a formidable
fighter under the effects of your Shapeshifter spell, but you can be vulnerable when
your resources are
depleted. You don't wear metal
armor.

More... credit to the original posters of course!

Axian was right, the portcullis "lifts up" on the gray plastic furniture doorway (the big one):

[LucaRocks]

This is all so awesome. I wish we were getting some furniture other than doors lol but I'm glad they didn't make them cardboard.

And I think I was right that those are female Ogre warriors and not shaman. I will revel in my glory because it will be the only time I am right with HQ speculation haha!

[SirRick]

Wow, a bit of sensory overload. The male druid looks like the town drunk from a western movie, I can hear the whistling from his missing teeth already. Everything else looks great. I can’t wait!

[TheLastChaosWarrior]

No, it's just the monsters right eye, the left is hidden in the shade. Looks like a mummy to me.
I don't know where the speculation is coming from as there are pics everywhere of the box and miniatures
It's obviously a large format one, like FH, MOTM and ROTDM, and there will be seven Ogres.
Three large ones, Lord, Champion and Captain? Forgot it's name now.
Four Ogre Warriors, two each of two sculpt, maybe male and female going on current trends.
Then there will be the other minis, druids, Orc, Goblin and Skelly archers, throne and stone doors.
I'm wondering if these will be two-part to enable you to slide the slab out to leave the door frame in place. Box art shows it looking like top surface of door has a gap
And looks separate.
Oh, and a wolf for some reason?
