Just got an alert that Wizards of Morcar is back in stock at Amazon if someone missed their chance before. And it's the US version, so you don't have to buy the German version.
Anybody know of a simple way to do it?
It's getting Autumnally cold here in the UK now and I used some grey primer from my outdoor shed, turns out that primer shouldn't be applied when it's cold. End result, the primer was too thick and covered up a lot of the finer details on the figure, the dragon from First Light.
I've read that isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush might do the job. But I don't want to risk it until I know it works. Any advice gratefully accepted.
Just got my Crypt of Perpetual Darkness Quest Pack and the foil cards are so nice, the artwork is fantastic too. Not to mention the model - can't wait to get this rolling
Hello guys i'm new new to this. In fact i just recieve the Game box today. I read the manual but i have a very specific question. What is the comunication code for this Game? Betwen playes can be full comunication? Or it's límited? Can the players discus their next action?
I played Heroquest as an 11-year-old kid back when it was first released. My friends and I loved it and played it often but I don't think we ever got further than quest 6 or 7 in the original book. I don't know what happened to my original copy.
I rediscovered it a few years ago whilst working as a teacher at a SEN college. An even nerdier colleague and I introduced some of our students to it, but time conspired against us, and we never got to play more than the odd quest or two.
I'm 48 now and bought a new copy a while back in the hope that I could coax my eldest son into playing it. He just turned 11. We played it for the first time last month and he loved it! It's now become a regular Friday afternoon activity, and we just completed quest 5. I'm so excited that I'm finally playing it comprehensively as a campaign, that he and I have a hobby we can share and I can't wait to get hold of some expansions.
Are there any home brew rules anyone could suggest? We play a hero each with the app as Zargon and so far it's not been particularly testing, which suits him, but it might be nice to switch things up a bit in case he gets bored.
Frozen horror and female barbarian, that’s that expansion complete
Quite happy how they ended up, considering that I am painting with cheap acrylic markers.
The thing that surprised me the most was and probably you already know, it is how things change when you apply a wash colour. I was painting on a two grey colour scheme (earth grey and dark grey) but I wasn’t moved by the result, then applied a blue wash on top and it became my favourite one.
Now to the next task, painting orcs. “Build me an army worthy of Morcar” (I have to say it) 😁
That auto-buy order I posted about yesterday arrived today. Some folks in the comments expressed some skepticism, speculating that it might have been a scam, or that the shipping might take overly long. But the shipping was super fast and I got what I ordered.
I had never heard of the auto-buy feature before someone mentioned it a few days ago on this sub. I expect I'll be using it again next time I'm looking for a hard-to-find item like this. Overall I'm really happy with how this played out. Thanks again!
Painted up the Dwarf from First Light.
Should I stop here and leave it as they are, or should I tone down part of the armour and get a grimy look and not that shiny?
I am still WIP
I can’t help it see papa Smurf in the gremlins
Hero Quest was my first actual painting project 1.5 years ago. Unfortunately, I used the wrong primer, which caused all the figures to become ultra glossy and tacky. Basically, the whole paint job was ruined.
Years later, I decided to do it again with a fresh set of figures and a few of the old ones that I had stripped. And finally, I am done again!
Hey all,
I started my HQ collection when it was 1st released back in 1989 when I was a boy and had nerdy friends to game with (yes I still have the original game with expansions stored in my loft.), and having purchased the re-release with Mythic Tier and every expansion and convention extras since. But have never able to play as I am the only 'nerd' in my friends group and my wife has always been happy to play along side of me but never wanted to play all characters by herself or play as Zargon.
As we have never had a 3rd person to join in all I have done is collect, paint my figures and then displayed my collection in my home office.
Having always read that the official Zargon app is bad and ruin's gameplay I've always avoided it so I'm hoping that some HQ nerd has made a Zargon app over the years that works and I can finally start my HQ adventure with my wife at my side slaying monsters and completing quests.
So I'm asking fellow HQ nerd's (sorry but I am a HQ nerd to my core, lol) for advice, suggestions and helping an old-timer get back to the action.
Thank you
Battle systems has these 3’x3’ dungeons mats
I’ve decided to go with a stone like finish with the Gargoyles. Why 4? Because one it was too boring 😁
By far one of my least favorite sculpts. Went with a more traditional Elf color than the card art.
Hey all,
I am about to start painting the mercenaries from FH and WOM. That's 24 new mercs - 16 gray, 4 purple, and 4 red. I also already painted the 4 from the elf quests.
I typically like to keep some of the color of the base as it separates out the types of figures. So the goblins have green sides, skeletons have white, etc. I'm at a loss with these, though, especially as I haven't played either of these quests and I am not sure how they are used. I have seen some discussion here about this but I was really hoping some of you may have some examples of what you have done and/or some feedback on a few ideas I had:
1 Keep the colors. Initial thought is I don't love this, as it seems like the colors were intended to indicate friendly/neutral/enemy units, which makes sense, but there doesn't seem to be a clear reason for the numbers of each. For example, you may hire 2 swordsmen, but there is only 1 red one by default.
2 Paint them all gray, like the FH ones. Kind of keeps them all neutral and unified like the green/white enemies, as their own tribe/type of unit. I kind of like this, though it could be confusing if some of them are hired and some are enemies. Maybe I could have a colored disc that attaches to the base - I have magnetized bases, so that might be an interesting fix that is not permanent.
3 Do some other combo of red/purple/gray that is more based around the actual likely need of each in gameplay. But I'm guessing it still may not match up every time with what I need for the game.
4 Any other options?
Would love to see what others have done
$44.09 to be precise. Shipper+Seller is listed as Amazon proper and there's no mention of being low in stock, either.
