I've already completed the original Heroquest game some time ago and I had to jump at the chance when Hasbro re-released it with the expansions plus more quest books! This feels like a deluxe version of the original with all the extra things, alt sculpts and even a few extra heroes.
Fimirs were replaced with abominations due to copyright issues. Honestly not a big deal and the abomination scults would really go well in my trident realm army if I hadn't already completed that!
I really like these zombie sculpts they have a great fantasy feal to them.
as always the award for easiest paint job goes to mummies.
I really wish the skeletons either had a few more sculpts or at least had some of the scyth ones replaced with shield and sword ones more to have some variation.
The goblins turned out to be much more interesting and characterful than the originals.
Not only do you get two dread sorcerers (somehow chaos is copywritten?) but you even get a sculpt of the witch lord!
Big improvement on the not chaos warriors they look much more threatening and fit their stat line a bit better.
all the alternate orc sculpts are a great idea. Having both male and female options is great until you realize its because your party is just invading their home and slaughtering them for no reason....
The new heroes are interesting and add some much needed party variety. Having mentor as an alternate wizard seems a little odd just because he has the same spells/stats as the regular wizard. Sir ragnar of course only gets used once but its a nice touch to have the miniature!
The orginal four heroes get alternate female scults as well that were a welcome addition! I hope more games start doing this just for variety sake!
Ok maybe the gargoyles are easier to paint than the mummies...
as awesome as the dragon sculpt is I must admit its unfortunate that it only shows up in one quest.
The new doors are a 'bit' more durable than their old cardboard counterparts.
And the new furniture is just such a huge improvement.
I just had to print out new terrain as well to compliment this deluxe version. Why have boring cardboard when you can make it literally pop!
