Heroquest Project (updated 28 April)

[killshot]

I’ve been playing a lot of Heroquest again and have started to expand on the core game miniatures and quest. 

Currently working on a quest where the heroes have to stop cultists from summoning a demon. 

First two cult leaders are from Vae Victus and they are the Decon and Hierophant.  Along with the acolytes (Heroquest models) they will be performing dark deeds to raise their demonic master

Those guys look great! The reds and yellows really stand out.

I've just started modifying my Heroquest miniatures in preparation to paint them, and it's always cool to see that the board game minis can be painted up well to fit with the "miniatures game miniatures."

Looking forward to more!

Thank you!  For the most part, I think the HQ miniatures have been good.  The heroes and evil special characters are great.  I am about to start replacing all the normal monsters with 3D prints though.  I just ordered a set of Vae Victus undead skeletons and will do zombies next. 

I have chaos warriors, Beastmen, and some demons in the queue for this home brew campaign I’m working on.  It’s really re-energized my imagination.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing more.

I also find Heroquest to be inspiring- perhaps ironically I haven't actually played much "true" Heroquest since picking up the game last year. I got it thinking my kids would like it as it's got a simple ruleset and a bunch of cool furniture etc, but we've only played a few times. That said I've ported the dice system into some one-off adventures and heroic combats in larger battle games, and I just love the vibe of it, even if I'm going to chop up most of the miniatures (if I'm being honest I probably have enough miniatures already to proxy everything in the box with painted stuff that's got sharper detail, but I don't need much of an excuse to mess with plastic and paint).

Added Six 3D printed Beastmen.  They’re my favorite fantasy race and I’m excited to have them available to stop any pesky heroes from successfully completing their quests.  They’ll be backed up by the massive Minotaur - Manbane from Heresy miniatures

Love those beastmen, and the Manbane is a monster...!

Thanks, yes he’s an absolute unit l!

Awesome stuff! I gotta say I love the style of those beastmen. They're pretty simple, but have enough good detail to look really nice the way you've painted them up. It's like someone wanted to modernize the old plastics from the 90's (either the monopose GW guys with the Halberds or the Battle Masters guys with axes and shields- both classics you could actually rank up!).

And yeah, the minotaur is incredible. Nice job!

Those beastmen look like conversion of the old Battlemasters set. I approve very much!

[Elbows]

Yeah, I've almost bought some of those beastmen several times.    Maybe you've convinced me to grab some.  They are definitely "alternate" beastmen from Battlemasters, etc.

They are definitely worth grabbing a few I think!

I think they have that look and went for the nostalgia of them.  I pretty happy with how they came out.

Thank you!  I love those monopose Beastmen as well and, if I was going to get back into WFB or Old World, I would be tempted to use these sculpts too.

Awesome beastmen! Love the big guy especially! Thanks for posting.

A mixture of miniatures for questing.  Another set of amazing figures from Vae Victis Miniatures:  Executioner and Westie.  The executioner will be a mini-boss for the Cultists and the westie will be an animal companion for the heroes.  Also included are miniatures and furniture from Rise of the Dreadmoon box and 3D printed chaos warriors and a summoning altar

[beefcake]

Love those 3d printed chaos warriors.
