Posted by Renegade Game Studios on Jul 8th 2026
We're more than halfway through our Alliance War schedule. Missed out on the news and want to know the current standings? Read on!
What is the Alliance War?
Heroscape staff members are visting tournaments at 20 local game stores and conventions around the country, bringing exclusive Alliance War prize items for all attendees!
All attendees of Alliance War events receive a set of four plastic, foil-stamped Army Cards for Isamu, Agent Carr, Syvarris, and Eel & F'Fuoh! In addition, every attendee receives one enamel pin representing their faction of choice: The New Alliance, Verdant Pact, Clockwork Combine, or Umbral Covenant.
The winner of each event receives a full set of enamel pins, and claims their win for their faction of choice! At the end of 2026, the faction with the most wins will have a bespoke prize item designed and released by Renegade Game Studios as well as a major narrative win in Heroscape: Secrets of the Citadel lore!
We're halfway through the Alliance War with eleven stops behind us and ten to go. We're going to give you a quick recap on each spot and what regions have been claimed for each alliance.
