Quick answer

Buy Herakles Accessory Pack 2: Forward Mounts if you already use 10 × 2 millimeter magnets to swap Herakles chin guns and sensor arrays instead of gluing them. Skip it if you glue your Herakles weapons permanently, because this pack contains only the nose turret and chin gun parts—no magnets and no packaging.

What the pack actually contains and why the magnet detail matters

The pack includes one Advanced Sensor Array Nose Turret and one Chin Gun. The catalog describes these as parts for Herakles interchangeable chin guns and sensor arrays when you attach them with magnets instead of glue. The allotted magnet size is 10 × 2 millimeters, and the product comes without packaging or magnets. That means the pack is a parts-only purchase: you supply the magnets yourself, and you need to already own the Herakles model these parts are designed to fit.

Compatibility: what you need before buying

This is not a standalone kit. The pack assumes you have a Herakles model with interchangeable chin gun and sensor array mounting points, and that you are using magnets rather than glue. If your Herakles build is already assembled and glued, these forward mounts will not convert it into a magnetized setup on their own. Check your existing mount points and your magnet supply before ordering.

When forward mounts make sense for your tabletop

Magnetized forward mounts are most useful when you want to change a Herakles loadout between games without breaking or re-gluing parts. If you play narrative scenarios or frequently swap between a sensor-array nose and a chin-gun configuration, the pack gives you the physical parts to do that. If your Herakles is a display piece or a fixed list, the value is lower because you are paying for flexibility you will not use.

Pairing the pack with terrain and scatter

Forward mounts change the model, not the battlefield. If you are also building out a Combat Zone table, small scatter pieces can do more for line of sight and atmosphere than another weapon option. The Tire Set is a scatter set with one big pile of tires, two tall stacks, three double tire sets, and four single tires, and the catalog notes it is ideal for blocking line of sight, creating rough terrain, or making a battlefield look beat-up. Boarded Up Windows is a separate option: eight window inserts designed to slot into the window cavities of Metropolis structures for a weathered, abandoned look. Neither is required for the forward mounts, but both are concrete ways to spend a terrain budget if the mounts alone do not change how your table plays.

Decision rules for buying Herakles Accessory Pack 2

  • Rule 1: Magnet method check: Buy only if you already attach Herakles chin guns and sensor arrays with 10 × 2 millimeter magnets. If you glue parts, this pack does not include magnets or glue. No magnet method, no purchase.
  • Rule 2: Model check: Confirm you own a Herakles model with the matching forward mount points for the Advanced Sensor Array Nose Turret and Chin Gun. The catalog does not list other compatible models. If you cannot identify the mount points, hold off.
  • Rule 3: Loadout-swap check: Buy if you regularly swap between a sensor-array nose and a chin-gun configuration. Skip if your Herakles loadout is fixed or purely decorative. Flexibility is the product; buy it only if you will use it.
  • Rule 4: Budget check: If your real gap is tabletop variety, compare against scatter and building detail first. The Tire Set and Boarded Up Windows solve different problems than forward mounts. Spend on the problem you actually have.

Product facts

  • Herakles Accessory Pack 2: Forward Mounts: Includes 1x Advanced Sensor Array Nose Turret and 1x Chin Gun; the allotted magnet size is 10 × 2 millimeters; comes without packaging or magnets. You need your own 10 × 2 mm magnets and a Herakles model with interchangeable mount points; this is not a complete conversion kit.
  • Tire Set: Scatter set with 1x Big Pile of Tires, 2x Tall Stacks of Tires, 3x Double Tire Sets, and 4x Single Tires, described as ideal for blocking line of sight, creating rough terrain, or making a battlefield look beat-up. A practical alternative purchase if you want tabletop variety rather than another Herakles weapon option.
  • Boarded Up Windows: Includes 8x Boarded-Up Window Inserts designed to slot into the window cavities of Metropolis structures for a weathered, abandoned look. Useful if your budget is better spent on Metropolis building detail than on vehicle mounts.

Who should buy this pack

Best for

  • Players who already magnetize Herakles chin guns and sensor arrays with 10 × 2 mm magnets

  • Builders who keep a magnet supply on hand and do not need packaging

Not for

  • Anyone who glues Herakles weapons permanently and does not plan to magnetize
  • Buyers who need magnets included, since the pack ships without them
  • Shoppers looking for a complete Herakles model or a starter kit rather than two replacement parts
