Some Heroquest Nostalgia

[KeyanSark]

A little addition, one old Black Orc to be used as Warlord in the appropriate Quests



I can use it to show how I create Orc Skin. Black Orcs are simply a wash of Dark Green on the Goblin Green baselayer. Orcs have a higlight with Goblin Green to restore the color. Goblins are done the same, with an additional light of Green+Yellow.

I love those old black orcs, they take me back to my childhood rather nicely. 

I hjave a nice big block of them in my O&G army.

Wonderful!

I found a bunch of the heroquest plastics in a flea market a week ago, and this thread inspires me... oh, too many projects!

I have a mint, still shrink wrapped Heroquest box here, I have been planning on putting up on ebay.  Soooooo tempted to open it right now.
Must... resist....

took the plunge and snagged HQ and 2 of the expansions from E-bay

Anyone interested in playing Hero Quest can do so by downloading all components (except furniture and minis, of course) from here:
http://heroquestbaker.altervista.org/indexenglish.htm

It's a completely legit site, with permission from Hasbro to offer these downloads. He's got all the stuff released for the european edition (thus no Elf and Barbarian quest packs). He's also slightly religious about Stephen Barker ("the only true author") which is amusing. =)

If you're intent on playing the US version, there's another site offering that here:

[KeyanSark]

This is another fantastic site

http://www.yeoldeinn.com

They are maintaining which was one of the classic HQ sites on the net (the old Agin's Inn). They have almost everything HQ related and some gorgeous new tiles. I am working with them right now to help them translate the site to spanish.

Some of the pages are incomplete, so if anyone has any images of the figures that they would like to add, you can post them to this thread and I will snitch them and put them on the Wiki.

I posted a big batch of Battle Masters figures to the Bazaar of Obscurities if anyone is interested:

More Nostagia: tonight I managed to finish the bunch of zombies. No two are the same.

[Thantsants]

Love those zombie minis!

Dug out my battered old copy the other day- can't remember who mentioned it but I like the idea of painting it up for when the boy is old enough - he's just turned two a couple of months back so I might be done with Orc's Drift by the time he's old enough - need to strip my terrible 12 year old paintjobs off though!   

Funnier than my painting back when I was a spotty little herbert are the character sheets me and my brothers filled in all those years ago which were still in the box!

We had mottos, much of which were written very much in earnest, stating intent -  Kill all ye who attack! and the terse I will kill
reassurance to our fellow adventurers? -  Don't worry I'm not cyco (original spelling!),
and lots of advice! - search traps before treasure, Be aware and Magic first then talk

Shame I haven't got a scanner to scan them in - our attempts at coats of arms were pretty funny too... 

Happy Days!

I keep finishing my HQ miniatures, now on with the furnitures. You can see it at:

Great stuff, love seeing HeroQuest stuff.

Anyone got a spare elf? My set came without.

I think I saw some on e-bay

I remember having seen some minis done by another company in the old-school style of HQ and AHQ (some knights and men-at-arms very much fitting in with the plastic men-at-arms from AHQ). Anyone knows what I'm talking about?

Dark World, maybe? Here's a shot from one of the expansions:
