This was posted over on Heroscapers.com supposedly a leak of what's coming in October. Flagbearer rumors....(posted by jcb231)
CREST OF THE VALKYRIE:
-Toys R Us exclusive, approx $10, October of 2006
-5 packages, each with one figure representing a Valkyrie General's flagbearer....Primadon for Vydar, Samurai for Einar, Elf for Ullar, Knight for Jandar, "Ornak" the Orc for Utgar.
-each package also includes 10-14 attack/defense dice....back of box said 14, but booth staff said 10-12. These dice are the white kind, but either engraved or with sunken stickers to eliminate the paint chipping problem. The blank side if the dice have special symbols on them that relate to card powers for the flagbearers. It seems the attack/defense dice are the same for all five figures, but as no dice were present (except in cardboard mock-up form) it's hard to say for sure.
-each package includes a d20 in themed colors....it seems that's all the d20 is for....flavor.
-each package includes an emboridered dice bag...I assume these are different for each figure but I'm not sure....no clue what's embroidered on them either....Valkyrie symbols? Generic HS symbol? Heroscape lettering?
-Ornak (the Utgar flagbearer) allows you to do something resembling "crappy bonding" with any two Utgar heroes you control. For example, instead of moving and attacking with Ornak, you move and attack with DW9K and Sir Hawthorne. At least, that's the impression given by his box text. He also adds some sort of attack boost to Orc Warriors (ie Blade Gruts) which leads some to believe the Wave Six Orcs will be classified as Warriors, just to make it easy on folks that can't find Wave One Orcs.
-The Vydar flagbearer supposedly boosts one of the base stats of Vydar troops....how specifically I cannot say....aura based? adjacency based? global? He also has a dice-based power and is, I assume, the only flagbearer with range (look at the guns). I have not heard of him specifically boosting gorillinators, just vydar troops in general. But that could change, I'm sure.
-The Einar flagbearer does the same, but for a different base stat. He is rumored to also boost Samurai via the dice.
-Ullar flagbearer...don't know much....base stat boost of some sort. Unknown dice ability.
-Jandar flagbearer...don't know much...possible defense or attack boosts? Knight boosts via the dice? Unknown at this time.
-Basically the rule of thumb seems to be some sort of base stat boost or general-themed ability, followed by a dice-based power.
