Heroscape: Deflectatron Promo

Deflectatron is available as a pre-order promo for the Fall 2025 Heroscape Embers of War releases AND will be available as an organized play promo by playing in local game store tournaments in October and November of 2025! Alpha Prime was once a thriving world called Mariedian, but it was changed forever by the discovery that it was possible to place a living soul inside a metal shell. The companies that offered this technology became superpowers, promising immortality in exchange for service. Some, like the Omnicron Corporation, saw becoming a Soulborg as a path that every Mariedian had the right to choose or not, but the ZETTI Combine had a darker ambition: to forcibly transform the population into ZETTI soldiers and take absolute power on Alpha Prime. And so a civil war began that has raged for thousands of years. In time, the war reached far beyond Alpha Prime, and the ZETTI Combine established prison colonies on nearby planets like Isadora, where the remaining Mariedians who resisted the Combine were taken. Key to the ZETTI Combine’s space power were orbital stations that hovered just above the atmosphere, deploying support for their ground forces at a moment’s notice. All too often, Mariedian resistance fighters firing lasers at slow-marching ZETTI legions would see a blaze of fire descend from the smoldering sky as a Deflectatron was deployed into the metal wasteland. After landing on burning jets, the strange metal guardian spun steadily and projected a field of blinding orange light. Lasers fired at the shield glanced off harmlessly, granting the mechanical infantry safe passage as they drew relentlessly closer to the Mariedian frontline. When the Valkyrie Vydar first summoned Deflectatrons to Valhalla, he was fascinated to hear of this technology, and he set a secret project in motion to establish Heimdall Station in orbit over Valhalla. Vydar has since disappeared, but a twinkling light that travels in Valhalla’s sky tells his followers that he is always watching, and when they most need help, a Deflectatron is quickly sent to their aid. MAGNETIC DEFLECTOR FIELD Figures adjacent to one or more Deflectatrons cannot determine clear sight to any figures. When a figure adjacent to one or more of your Deflectatrons defends against an attack from a non-adjacent figure, change 1 die result that was not a shield to a shield, if possible. Magnetic Deflector Field is negated while adjacent to another figure with the Magnetic Deflector Field Special Power. ORBITAL DEPLOYMENT 3 Deflectatrons do not start the game on the battlefield. At the start of a round, before placing Order Markers, you may place 1 Deflectatron that has not entered the battlefield on an empty space within 3 clear sight spaces of a friendly figure. You cannot use more than one Orbital Deployment Special Power each round. PASSIVE Deflectratons never make leaving engagement attacks. —description from the publisher
