Love the D and D 80's figurines

[@exodous02]

Holy hell, that magnet tool is genius! I'll never put them in the wrong way again! Thanx for the video!

[@Navidain]

I'v never seen or heard of clear bases before, what a brilliant idea. Nice job on the paint finish, that washed-out look really dose carry over the ancient, forgotten dungeon look.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Cheers, I love clear bases 🙂

[@SledGod84]

@@MiniatureHobbyist I haven’t seen these bases either but keen to know where you get them. Great board too my dude. Would love to see this played on (especially the home brew)

[@NiteMarcher]

For ease of storage. Try getting a thin sheet of metal from a hardware store. Magnetize the bottom of the floor tiles so you can stick them to the sheet of metal. When you’re done you can remove the floor tiles and put them in a box. The sheet of metal can be places elsewhere and can possibly be used for other games in which you magnetize the bases. I love the idea of makes larger size wall sizes and a wall storage

Very cool stuff! Thanks for sharing what you do! You can tell you're super passionate about having fun!

I've been a huge fan of HeroQuest since 1989. I still have my original board game! I would loooove to 3D print a board like this! What a Epic Project! Yours turned out stunning. The video game Demeo on VR reminds me so much of HeroQuest! Can you print these with a FDM printer instead of Resin from The Dragons Rest?

[@thefriendlessgamer8552]

Yes you could use FDM but it would be a longer process is all.

[@DJ_Blaker]

@@thefriendlessgamer8552 I'm currently printing out a HeroQuest board from Dungeon Blocks... Creating all the map, modified some of the STLs as well to create new ones! Some with Resin and most with FDM

[@therealjonaswp602]

You can. I print a 5 tile corridor on FDM in about an hour and four minutes :) Using a creality K1.

[@narceron360]

The ball magnets are superior. I do like those clear bases.

[@allenforbes8108]

YT notices, and timing! love this stuff, even a recap, because some may not want their faces in the videos would be great.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Cheers buddy, a recap would be a good start as not sure I have enough cameras lol 🙂

[@intzbk1]

I really enjoy 22 minutes of wafflin', keep it up! Back in my D&D days, I'd use the Heroquest board and Warhammer Quest tiles quite a bit when I DM'd. This would be great to use for that. Now, I have to see if someone made Warhammer Quest 3D tiles. :)

[@RPGfigures]

Every time I try to paint a fantasy character, I think to myself: Yes, that layer of gold on the armor surely adds +5 to defense against criticism ;)

[@CaptainBipto]

I play a variety of games that use card tiles. My first project is going to be Star Saga Core Set. I just need to go through my library of stls, and choose some tiles. From 2nd Dynasty, Dragons Rest, Project Mobius and others. And then convert the models to use clear bases.

[@fnord85]

Love this! I got Patreon for Dragon Rest yesterday and will print a 3D map for Hero Quest myself

[@DrChiYT]

Hey, I also joined the Patreon, but I can't find the prebuilt tiles like what he printed here. Only individual rooms. Did you find them? (if so, where / which folder)?

[@fnord85]

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Cheers, its well worth the money and so much stuff in the files to print 🙂

[@argon657]

Do they have version of the room tiles that are at the smaller/original scale as the HeroQuest board? I want to save on space as well.

[@alvaroaugustomeridio]

Id love to see battle reports on that worderful scenery you make. As you already play recording the battles may be more work but could be rewarding. Or keep the raw footage for a future, maybe a how to play killteam sort of thing

[@rossato2109]

I used to play so much Hero Quest!

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Its a great game to play with family or friends 🙂

[@rossato2109]

@@MiniatureHobbyist It is! I was gifted a box in 1994 in my birthday. Used to play a lot but after a while I ended up without a group for it. A curious thing, here in Brazil the furniture from the box was in plastic (but it did miss the skulls) but the miniatures were made of cardboard instead of plastic.

[@hoxoboxo]

Awesome board, and a great job assembling it

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

I agree with you and the clear bases.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Yup they are the best 🙂

[@karllindemann4885]

I have to ask what printer do you use when you showed that whole tray of soldiers with the flexible spears?

[@luolaleijona]

I love your eye for color and have been doing stuff not 100% but definitely inspired by your methods! Do you have a list which colors were used in each room / corridor etc here?

[@woofoo]

Awesome video!! your board is looking great!!!! Thanks so much

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

and thank you for opening my eyes up to a 3D printed board 🙂

[@carlstanford7607]

Looking great

[@gregjohnson4193]

Excellent work. Keep it up

[@Moseth7606]

Amazing video dude! And some great tips! That magnet polarity stick is genius 😅 and yeah agree with there on your comment @18:20 I'm exactly the same. Subbed

[@dyansis]

I also bought the new hero quest (and i have the old one too). But the idea of making the whole board just fills ne with joy. I love it. By any chance do you have tutorial of how you put the models on clear bases? Id worry that if I just went chopping id make a balls if it 😂😂

[@cedoogob]

Great job ! Love the spirit !

[@Unclebillyr]

I am wondering if some brush on rubber like you use to put rubber on tools would help on the bottom of the doors and other things to keep them from sliding.

[@michaelhill6453]

I find the included board far too small for the miniatures so I would have loved the larger board. Another excellent video.

[@victorsolanas4356]

Your Heroquest is awesome!

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Thank you, I love it 🙂

[@heleti0000]

“Just had an epiphany ! A great idea came to me. I’ll make a Magnetic tool, coloured Red at one end and Black at the other, with N / S orientated magnets at each end to fit my magnets to bases and tiles. No confusion.” Thanks so much for such a simple idea - it will save me digging out incorrectly fitted magnets - one of my pet hates, haven’t seen this method before, such a simple fix for a common problem, so easy to get them mixed up if you are putting in a lot atvatime (you should Patent one ?)

[@dmorty6241]

The only suggestion I would have made is not epoxying down the tiles to the wood. Maybe making them magnetic to the wood instead? In several of the expansion packs for the boxed board, there are tiles that replace the look of some of the rooms that will no longer work for you since they are designed/sized for the board in the box. I saw you mention things like the rotating room, but it would look cleaner to be flush with the rest of the rooms, instead of sitting on top of your board.

[@therealjonaswp602]

For those grates, if you want a rusty look, I recommend Dirty Down Rust :) It is ....amazing. I am one of the lucky ones who has bought a FDM printer, and am printing the same board from Dragon's Rest. The tiles are amazing. :) Also, what color did you use for the slapchop of the tiles? :)

[@geertbeekman8680]

very nice board and mini's

[@user-tf9fh4sy4c]

Could you show us the 3 D printer in action ?

[@mes1983]

Awesome video as always. Just wondering if you have seen GaminGeeks video about The Dragon's Rest for HERO quest. He has modded it a little, to make it more modular, and every room is printed in one piece. That way the tiles can be used both for Hero Quest and DnD😊

[@davidmccullough4633]

Where can I find the files for the 3d printed game board and walls? I cant find them on your patreon? amazing work!

[@daleffi]

Beautiful work! I miss my heroquest. Sadly, It got destroyed

[@aldomir]

The problem is the quest expansion packs - the walls are in different places.

[@kagerobellamy327]

Exactement, du coup c'est injouable et quasiment inutile.

[@wreckless82mk90]

I love hero quest I remember when it first came out . This game got me into miniatures ,I would love to have this game in my collection. Is it an exact replica

[@kagerobellamy327]

Non, quelques dalles sont plus petites et certains angles sont biseautés à causes de l'emplacement des murs ( les lignes matérialisées en blanc sur le plateau original). Les corridors sont réduits à certains endroits également pour ces mêmes raisons. Je ne pense pas que que ça soit jouable finalement. Je cherche à m'en faire un et je réfléchis beaucoup pour éviter ça mais ça paraît très compliqué 😅

[@danielcardwell5457]

I wonder if there's a way of dissolving the bases and not cutting them

[@davezenz]

looks great! I would use it for D@D

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Cheers, yeah its a great base for all dungeon games 🙂

[@brianillsley4376]

Hi i really like the idea of printing a board myself, how much did you scale the original prints down by? also if you printed the boards on a resin printer which oreintation did you print them at? and did you have problems with them not being flat?

[@mrsolotabletop]

Is the Heroquest card holder from Dragon's Rest as well?

[@argon657]

Do you think this would print out ok on a pla printer or would you only recommend resin?

[@nicolaibrushansen205]

Hey. Great video. How much did you down scale the files? :)

[@glennormington441]

Hi mate. Where did you get your army painter black cut mat ?. Can you link at all ? Regards Glen

[@Akimbojack]

Now that´s a really nice setup, you got there! :) I´m at printing and painting all the walls by myself at the moment, after that the minis will folow. Dragon´s Rest is an awesome source of parts! But I really love the minis from the old D&D-Cartoon you got there and the big "Wallbox". Is there any Source, where I can find these stls, maybe? Thx in advance

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

I did a video recently with the D&D cartoons and the link is on that video, everything else is from Dragons Rest 🙂

[@zackcook5123]

I previously didn't rate clear bases now I'm converted.

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Haha cool, yup its worth the time getting the HeroQuest miniatures on them 🙂

[@longwing]

I was planning to paint using craft paints to keep my costs down, but your floors look incredible using Speedpaint and I have a big set of them. Did you wind up using a lot of speedpaint to get those results?

Been debating Whether to get this game, Warcry player, So seeing a game would be good. But please explain the rules in the game. Seen a few "Battle Reports" and they skip or go to quickly over the rules - which leaves one confused!

How much did you scale the print down from the original file?

Yup, I so wish I had a spare room or garage to have everything set up, one day I will lol 🙂

[@tibbs4gaming]

Great board! May I ask what percentage you have reduced everything? I have the files and the board would be too big for my table also. ;)

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

I made everything 80% and the tiles work out perfectly at 1 inch square 🙂

[@Gho5tface]

@@MiniatureHobbyist are you sure? I checked in my slicer and it should be 70% that ends up with 1 inch squares

[@thefriendlessgamer8552]

Would have done the same thing with board myself, it was definitely too big. Don't play D&D but have miniature board games and have 3d printers.

[@oatmeal2265]

Do you sell any of your work?

[@gunnarmuller2847]

Can you give me a hint where I can find the card holder?

So, step one of 'making' it is to be sent a free £400 board? Oh hang on, you print one too. Fair enough!

[@MiniatureHobbyist]

I didnt know there was a board to print until after I was sent one, as it was too big I sent it back and thanked them and then printed my own 🙂

I Love the creativity ❤ and hope to find some inspiration here. I just have a very little thing to remark, which is absolutely not to be taken as criticism! But as a non-native English speaker I find it often hard to follow your train of thoughts. I struggle with filler words ("well"), very quick way of talking along😅 and sometimes the sudden jumps of information which makes it sometimes difficult to follow your else very great ideas. I hope this is not taken as offence. Perhaps it could help if you took some notes or structure your explanation before recording a voiceover? But I'm in no way a professional, so please take my wish with a grain of salt. Thank you again for the great inspiration.

Money is relative for sure. I've seen people drop 900 on a meal. Granted ..it was delicious. If you can't swing 900, buy a printer, some pla, and do it on your own. That's what I did.
