About the Project

Hi everyone :) I've given up waiting for MB Games (now Hasbro) to release a re-booted version of the classic dungeon crawler boardgame HeroQuest. So, I've decided to make myself one, using modern day minis and terrain pieces. I already have a full classic version, so I should be able to do some nice comparison pics along the way too.

Next I’ve started painting up some chests to replace the original cardboard version

Decided to look at upgrading the furniture items that HeroQuest has as well.
Luckily for me (because I’m really lazy) Zealot also have a range of dungeon scenery and furniture pieces that fit the scale I need.

So, here’s the first door alongside the classic version

Following on from the orc tone test, I’ve tried to keep the paint scheme for these knights grim and subdued, but still reminiscent to the classic Chaos Knight look.

One of the most iconic minis from the original HeroQuest set was the Chaos Knight. For my new set I’m using corrupted knights from the Zealot range.
Unlike the original set, these new minis come with the option of a few variations to help keep them looking a little different

Painting this first orc has been a really useful exercise in helping to decide the tone I want to have for my new HeroQuest set.

The original minis, with their simple almost cartoon designs lent themselves to a brighter more punchy style.

The amazing sculpts by Boris, on the other hand, I feel suit a more subdued and muted approach.
What do you think? Have I found the right tone for the new set?
