Heroscape is a customizable tactical miniatures game built around interlocking hexagonal terrain tiles. Originally released by Milton Bradley/Hasbro in 2004, it was relaunched in 2024 by Renegade Game Studios as Age of Annihilation. Players build 3D battlefields and pit fantasy, sci-fi and historical armies against each other.
Quick rules overview
Hex-tile terrain
Build a 3D battlefield out of interlocking hexagon terrain tiles — every game is played on a different map.
Pick your army
Spend your points on any mix of figures — fantasy, sci-fi and historical units all fight on the same battlefield, each on its own army card.
Order Markers
Secretly plan which squads act each round with numbered Order Markers, then reveal and resolve them in order.
Treasure glyphs
Hidden glyph tiles on the map grant powerful one-time or ongoing effects to whoever reaches them first.
Roll to fight
Attack and defense are resolved with special Heroscape dice — skulls to hit, shields to block.
