A few pics of the initial setup. It's very simple, but laborious, popping tiny magnets into all the wall pieces and then super-gluing the same kind of magnets into the base pieces. Laborious but also quite therapeutic I found.

I still have to either drybrush the exposed magnetic studs on the base, or buy more wall sections and fill them in, this would make them double walls, not sure what would look best... opinions?

Either way I'm very impressed with it, it took a month from ordering to delivery, and I'm happy with that, Jerome had to 3D print then paint all of the parts and there's tons of them

Can't wait to start using the board, the wife will play Zargon via the app (because she's evil of course) and I'll play as the heroes, because I'm very heroic. :) Hopefully my sons and their girlfriends will also get involved. Should be a blast.

Did a quick google how to paint fire, it said start with yellow, then build up and fade orange and red. Easier said than done! But I think I'm happy with it so far. I know the Addams family doesn't strictly fit in with Heroquest lore and setting, but I couldn't resist the portrait. :)

It's nice to take a break from painting the heroes and monsters.

I bought a battered old DW5600CS from ebay. The resin strap was beyond repair so I decided to have some retro fun with it and bought a pre-aged/distressed bracelet and bezel kit from aexpress. I quite like how it's turned out.
