Hi everyone! High recommandation! 25-30 years ago, that was just to much for „young-me“ -, but i allways wished i would have done this… now 2024 i grabbed a copy of avalon hills reprint. And with the help of this video-serie i made it! Thanks to your channel guiding a noob through the process! I’m very happy with the result!

I’ve already finished painting my own Heroquest set, but I will be watching this series to pickup tips for the future. My solution for storage was to glue washers to all the model bases, I then stuck an A4 magnetic sheet to a piece of stiff card which fits inside the original box. This means all the models can be stored standing up inside the box, it even survives a car journey with very little movement, the added bonus is the extra weight on the base of the models means they are less likely to move or fall over on the tabletop if the table gets knocked.

Maybe due to beginner brush care mistakes but are way cheaper to replace the cheap synths. Good also for those who have ethical reasons for not using fur. When every painting channel seems to use sable hair it sometimes feels like there's no other option @@MidwinterMinis

So happy to see this series of this great game! Hero Quest was the first ever miniature game I played with my cousin back in the days and I can proudly say that I own a copy of the old version (+ the first 2 expansions) all painted up. It was the first project that got me into painting minis back when Covid hit. Now I'm sitting here with all minis from the re-released base game and all expensions currently available spread across my desk and eagerly trying to finish them. It's been almost 8 months since I started and I have about 35 minis left to go. fun fact: the first mission in the old Hero Quest Adventure book was way easier than the newer ones. It only featured a handful of Goblins (and mybe 1 Orc), where you know encounter almost every Monster that is available, which makes it significantly harder and way more frustrating. Tbh I think they changed it for the worst cause new players might get scared off by the difficulty of the 'tutorial' mission and lose interest way faster than we did back then.
