Transform Your Heroscape Battlefields: A Complete Look at the New Terrain Expansions from Renegade Game Studios

When it comes to Heroscape, terrain is the game. Every height change, every tree, every bridge and lava field shapes how cleverly—or how desperately—your armies fight for control of Valhalla. With Renegade Game Studios continuing to expand the line, players now have more creative tools than ever before to build immersive, tactical battlefields.

Whether you're crafting a dense jungle ambush, a molten battlefield of doom, or a sprawling multi-level skirmish zone, these terrain expansions offer limitless design potential.

Today we’re diving into six terrain packs that elevate the battlefield:

• The Grove at Laur’s Edge

• Waters of Valhalla

• Lands of Valhalla

• Lava Fields of Valhalla

• The Ruins at Laur’s Edge

• Roads of Valhalla

Let’s explore how each one enhances your game and how they combine to create cinematic battlefields worthy of Valhalla.

The Grove at Laur’s Edge – Living Jungle Terrain

Includes:

• 3 Laur Jungle Trees

• 6 Jungle Underbrush pieces

The Grove at Laur’s Edge brings line-of-sight blockers and lush jungle theming to the board. Jungle features make battlefields feel tighter, more tactical, and far more dangerous.

What It Adds to Your Game

• Shields advancing units from ranged fire

• Creates natural chokepoints

• Adds immersive thematic depth

Use this set to make wild ambush zones, hidden paths, or dense forests where glyphs and objectives lie waiting.

Waters of Valhalla – Take Control of the River

Water may look peaceful, but in Heroscape it dramatically alters movement and strategy.

Why Water Terrain Matters

• Slows movement and changes approach angles

• Creates strategic bottlenecks

• Forms islands, lakes, rivers, and defensive walls

Use this set to build river crossings, coastal cliffs, or watery trenches that divide warring factions.

Lands of Valhalla – The Essential Base Tiles

Includes:

• 63 hex terrain tiles for building elevation and large maps

This expansion is the backbone of true large-scale battlefield crafting.

What It Enables

• Multi-level terrain and dramatic verticality

• Larger play areas for 3–4 player maps

• Extended campaign or scenario-based play

Once you have Lands of Valhalla, every battlefield becomes a canvas for creativity.

Lava Fields of Valhalla – Molten Mayhem for Your Maps

Renegade Games: Heroscape: The Lava Fields of Valhalla Terrain Expansion
Includes:

• 30+ molten and lava‐rock hex tiles

• 4 Lava Rock Outcrop pieces

The Lava Fields of Valhalla add danger, drama, and high-risk/high-reward gameplay.

Why Lava Terrain Is Awesome

• Lava damage punishes reckless positioning

• Outcrops create natural cliffs and sight blockers

• Creates hostile zones that force players to think differently

Scenario Ideas

• “Molten Run” – A key glyph sits in the middle of lava; only the bold (or the foolish) will race for it.

• “Volcano Pass” – A narrow path through lava forces armies into a deadly gauntlet.

Lava fields look amazing on the table and dramatically shift battlefield flow.

The Ruins at Laur’s Edge – Ancient Debris & Battlefield Cover

Renegade Game Studios – Heroscape: The Ruins at Laur's Edge Terrain Expansion
Requires the Master Set or Battle Box to Play

Ruins provide one of the most flexible forms of terrain in the entire Heroscape system. They offer tactical cover, block sightlines, and help shape the pacing of the battlefield.

What Ruins Add

• Mid-map cover options

• Visual storytelling—ancient wars, fallen civilizations, sacred battlegrounds

• Perfect for objective-based scenarios

Think of ruins as the terrain equivalent of punctuation: they break up open areas and direct player movement.

Roads of Valhalla – Build Highways Across the Battlefield

Renegade Game Studios – Heroscape: Roads of Valhalla Terrain Expansion
Requires the Master Set or Battle Box to Play

Road tiles are an underrated gem in map-building. When units move on road spaces, armies can surge into combat faster, triggering exciting early-game engagements.

Road Terrain Benefits

• Boosts movement over connected road spaces

• Encourages dynamic rushes and early combat

• Creates thematic infrastructure: bridges, city lanes, castle approaches

Combine this kit with rivers or cliffs to make beautifully designed causeways and battle-ready bridges.

Bring It All Together: Craft Cinematic Valhalla Battlefields

Each terrain pack enhances a different dimension of battlefield design. Combine them and the possibilities explode:

Imagine a Map That Features:

• A central plateau built with Lands of Valhalla

• Rivers from Waters of Valhalla winding around the base

• Jungle cover from The Grove at Laur’s Edge along the waterline

• Ancient ruins marking long-forgotten frontiers

• Roads connecting elevated regions, speeding reinforcements

• Lava fields bubbling at the map’s edge, creating risky shortcuts

In one scene, you get a full slice of Valhalla—lush, ancient, fiery, and contested.

This is what makes Heroscape truly magical: every map is a story waiting to unfold.
