New Toys!
Well I eventually bit the bullet and decided to go for Heroquest. I had this game when it first came out and absolutely loved it. I even took it to Wales with me when I worked there as a summer job. It was so popular in the Hostel that I ended up making two new characters one was definitely a thief, I know for definite as I found rhe card I made. I think the other was a druid. I must admit this was a nostalgic journey, really helped by the cheap price I managed to get it for.
I haven't really watched any YouTube discussions or unboxing videos so I was going in a bit blind and was honestly a little worried that it was going to be something similar to what GW did to Necromunda (I just hope they keep their mitts off Mordheim).
I shouldn't have worried, apart from the miniatures it looks really, really similar.
The one major difference is in the furniture and doors is that they are all plastic rather than the card and plastic of the original.
The miniatures have some total differences. The Fimir have gone and are replaced by Abominations... basically fishmen.
There are four heroes and thirty one monster miniatures.
- 8 orcs - there seem to be 4 male and 4 females.
- 6 goblins
- 3 abominations
- 4 dread warriors
- 1 Dread sorcerer
- 1 gargoyle
- 4 skeletons
- 2 zombies
- 2 mummies
I am really tempted to paint everything 🙂
The miniatures are made of a soft plastic, not like the original hard plastic of the original.
Hopefully the kids will enjoy it as much as I did.
