The next best thing about Heroquest is... finding new models to use!

Part 2, looking at the new(ish) Heroquest game from 2021 and looking at the models inside and asking how we can make the game better. The best thing about Heroquest? Replacing all the bendy plastic models with shiny new miniatures!
I looked at alternative miniature providers - Games Workshop, Hasslefree Minis, Heresy Miniatures - all good options, but in the end decided to download STLs to 3D print the alternatives. Allows for rescaling to make sure they fit nicely on the board when playing the game.
For other opinions on what the best thing about Heroquest is, ask the Bard!

Great game. I played this on boxing day at nans house. No one had a clue what to do but it was briliant. I bought some blank dice and made my own hero quest dice last year, work excellent.

@WyvernMinis 10 месяцев назад

Nice! Yeah I love it, once you have the rules sorted it's very quick to set up and play. It looks like there are some new expansions with translucent Bunny dice in them which might be exciting (and mean that the players can have their own set of dice rather than sharing with me!) :-D

Put bended figures in near boiling water for about 20 seconds. Then it either snaps back or you can carefully adjust it yourself. Cool off in cold water after. Then it stays in shape 🤛🏼

@WyvernMinis 8 месяцев назад

Yeah definitely what I do with warped resin from Forgeworld or something, just some of these are so far out (wobbly bases for instance) and when it's done they'll still be the plastic that I'm not keen on, and I'm not a particular fan of the sculpts. New video up shortly of painting my alternative orcs and goblins, and I painted a few of the ones out of the box too - they are easy to paint and would be good as an intro to the hobby, I just wanted to make my Heroquest set all nice and customised :-)

@andersand6576 6 месяцев назад

Great video! Since you made both genders of the heroes, have you tried using two of one kind in a game?

@WyvernMinis 6 месяцев назад

No I haven't yet, I did them both so my daughter and wife had the option of which one to choose, but for now keeping things simple and as written in the first book. I do like the idea of altering things in the future, but don't want to overcomplicate for the little ones.... yet! Maybe a full squad of 4 barbarians and see what they can do.... I have plenty of alternative miniatures to choose from!! 😅

@p0ck3tp3ar 10 месяцев назад

I like to print my own custom monsters and use pathfinder and dnd minis for them. It's fun!

@WyvernMinis 10 месяцев назад

Yeah definitely, and there are so many good options out there now as well. I do like buying a complete boxed game that has everything in it though - makes it easy to get out and play without having to dig through loads of foam boxes to find all the right minis! That's why I'm trying to find good alternatives to be dedicated Heroquest minis, rather than pulling double duty with Frostgrave / Warhammer / D&D. Plus getting the right size for the board - although maybe getting a mat with larger squares or printing out a new board would be a good option too

@p0ck3tp3ar 10 месяцев назад

Board games have lots of great minis these days. It's pretty crazy. Dark Souls minis are incredible. @@WyvernMinis

@WyvernMinis 10 месяцев назад

Not played that one but have heard good things about the designs and stuff. I particularly like the Descent models, I have a bunch of the 2nd edition ones, they are fun and remind me of Nolzur's Marvellous Miniatures and that sort of stuff, but the 3rd edition is really good quality. That's on my painting to-do list! :-)

@p0ck3tp3ar 10 месяцев назад

I like Dark Souls but a lot of people HATE it. So you can probably buy it really cheap. The minis are insanely nice if you like dark fantasy. Pathfinder prepainted minis boxes are pretty cool and some are probably on sale right now. Could make for a good video if you popped open some boxes. Nolzurs I like too because theyr'e easy to paint and look good.@@WyvernMinis

@WyvernMinis 10 месяцев назад

I heard the video game of Dark Souls was very frustrating, sounded like it wouldn't be my cup of tea, but yeah the aesthetic looks cool. Nolzur's are also really good price. I've had a couple of slightly bendy issues with them, but not much. I did some painting WIP of Nolzur's stuff for D&D on my blog before I started doing videos, I think people prefer videos to reading blogs nowadays! :-D I'll definitely get some more of that stuff on here soon though

@darthkek1953 8 месяцев назад

If you're replacing the models do it right - with resin He-Man figures.

@WyvernMinis 8 месяцев назад

Yeah could be a fun option, I have a couple of metal He-Man figures from somewhere... have you done it?

@darthkek1953 8 месяцев назад

@@WyvernMinis no purchases yet, but they are on Etsy. Don't have a printer. I have yet to paint my set up, and the first resin purchases will be Traps, Blocking Walls, etc., basically all the cardboard tiles I hate.

@darthkek1953 8 месяцев назад

@@WyvernMinis my thing is I want to paint a scheme akin to or suitable for 80s He Man, largely that means mint green or light violet stonework!

@WyvernMinis 8 месяцев назад

Yeah the cardboard tiles for blocked passages are annoying, very easy to miss as they blend in with the floor. Definitely worth replacing I think. I like the sound of all the green stonework, you'll have to eventually make a whole Castle Greyskull board! I and planning on printing one after painting the figures, but I have seen some good examples made from foam board

@darthkek1953 8 месяцев назад

@@WyvernMinis there are several print-at-home boards that you can have printed on neoprine. One set I like has large dark gaps between rooms so you can place doors without them being intrusive. DriveThruRPG has some.

@okdanhe 10 месяцев назад

they way i fixed the size issues of models i use for heroquest is to make the board bigger

@WyvernMinis 10 месяцев назад

Yeah that has crossed my mind, as well as possibly making a 3D board with Dungeons and Lasers terrain or 3D printed stuff, it could be a future project! There are some good printed mats too, which is also tempting. How did you do yours?
