Description

Dive into the chaotic clash of darkness and brutish might with Heroscape: Dawn of Darkness – Shades and Orcs Army Expansion. Designed by Stephen Baker, Rob Daviau, and Craig Van Ness, this 2007 add‑on drops fresh, gritty miniatures into your Heroscape world, letting 2‑4 players throw down in battles that last an hour to two. The rules are dead‑simple, so you can jump straight into the action, rolling dice, sniping across a hex‑grid, and exploiting line‑of‑sight while your units scramble up and down the three‑dimensional terrain. The modular board means every skirmish feels brand new, and the push‑your‑luck element keeps you on the edge as you decide whether to unleash a massive orc charge or hold back for a perfect shade ambush. Pair it with any Heroscape master set or battle box—whether you’re battling the Valkyrie, the Underdark, or even G.I. Joe—and watch the fantasy fighting get wilder, louder, and infinitely more fun.
