Warhammer Quest Monster project - Updated 30.12.23

[DivisMal]

I loved WHQ (so much I even played the App onmy iPad for months)! I’ll echo what has been said about WHQ being so much more than modern Crawlers. For me it was possibly the best game GW ever produced.

So now let’s come to the thread‘s main attraction. The fabulous dungeon and the magnificent miniatures! I love them. It’s really things like this that make me enjoy exploring LAF. 

Please post many, many other things here. We all want MOARE! 

I’d like to add that another thing I loved with WHQ and haven’t really seen replicated were the non-dungeon events. Exploring a city, buying stuff, getting chased by the citguard, winning a brawl in the pub and praying to Sigmar. All those random tables gave so much atmosphere! It really *felt* like an RPG … certainly was better than some I participated in.

Ah, so the bigger bits are held on with magnets then? Smart.    I did wonder, as this sort of thing is the main reason I never did any "modelled" dungeon crawler tiles myself over the years. I almost made a set for AHQ on at least three occasions (including very recently), but never really figured out how to keep the tiles both attractive and practical.

The biggest issue I have found is balancing cost, usability and aesthetic. Ended up with tiles smaller than I would have liked for gaming, but I think they look good and the cost wasn't too high for the resin casts.

Over all would have done a couple slightly differently if I did them again. Magnetic pieces ended up being an absolute blessing for gaming, but not so fun transporting, haha

beautiful stuff! please keep them coming!

Thank you very much!

[RustyT]

How did i miss this thread?  Amazing stuff, love what you build 10/10

I had not given the project the effort it deserved so the time got lost in the Nether.

Cheers for the vote of confidence!

[RustyT]

I’ll echo everyone’s comments- that’s all outstanding work!

Thanks heaps Pattus, I need to learn how to multi-quote don't I? HAHA

I was so addicted to that game! Wish they'd done a little more with the settlements though.

Speaking of settlements, there is a project called the Ultimate Adventure Book and ot has three suppliments covering a huge range of, imo very faithful and comprehensive hazards, settlement events and treasures. We use them in all games now. They made the game into an almost flawless rpg crawler

And thansk for the kind words too 😁

[RustyT]

Painted up some snotlings too!

Build the tomb objective room this evening, will paint it over the next few days and then only a few more left to build.

So cool. Love all that era of mini. I really want some Orc Big'uns now.

Yeah, the settlements were a weak point in the game. Did you ever finish it? I tried to level up so many characters that I lost teack of the campaign and when I was ready my party was so overpowered, it became tedious.
WHQ2 from the same company was also great. I played it a lot when my baby daughter was born and needed to be carried around all the time to stop crying and sleep: you’d see me slowly walking around with a babycarrier and my iPad in my hands

Where can I get all these books you speak of btw?

Edit: found the Ultimate Adventure Book project. Will have a look!

Superb - well worth the effort of a marathon, plus the simple fact your using them to.

I consistently keep reminding myself too about marathons in miniature painting

Plenty to work on for me in the mountain, but I will not reach your level of skill anytime soon

Keep it up and do keep posting occasionally. preferably more frequently - its always good to see someone has a passion for a project like this.

Your flagstone bases on those snotlings are amazing. Did you glue on each individual "stone"?

[zemjw]

The only links I can find are to one that looks like it may be related to the computer game - https://bwarhammerquestcustomized.runboard.com/

and another to a Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/WarhammerQuest/

Is either of these the correct one for the Ultimate Adventure Book? I am not, nor shall I ever be, a member of Facebook , but the other one wants you to set up a free account to get access. Before I go to the hassle of creating a throwaway email account, I'd like to know if it's as least the correct site.

I still have Advanced Heroquest in the loft, but WHQ passed me by, for reasons that presumably made sense at the time

Hahaha, this is how it starts! You should probably pick up a copy of the rulebook too if you haven't already, you know... for research

I'll be honest, I don't remember if I finished it or not, I played the main campaign to the end, but picked up the expansions and I think 2 came out and I lost interest.

Glad you found the adventure book. I've got some dioramas and stuff in the book too. I now tell people I'm published...

I have recently been diagnosed with ADHD, as a result projects like this give me a strong reference point to show despite difficulties I am able to organise myself enough to create something large that takes a decent amount of commitment and focus. It seems daft, but this is a big deal for me personally.

Will definitely keep updating, I've got at least four mini projects for this on the go right now. Just a case of which one will my brain allow me to finish first, haha
