[@MiniatureHobbyist]

Thank you for all your wonderful comments, I cant wait to play this with the kids and to 3D print out my own board 🙂

[@funkygray]

Hello, thanks for all the wonderful videos. I dropped you an email about a HQ board but havnt heard back, was just checking you received the email. Thanks

[@KerryViens]

I just finished rearranging my paints and found out that I already have these paints. Didn't even know I had them. I don't remember buying them. 😂 I'll be using them as soon as I get my copy of Heroquest this Monday. So happy now! 👍

[@Ryecrash617]

I played the original Heroquest when it came out and being a preteen that was an avid model car builder, I painted all of the figures using model car paints. In hindsight they all looked terrible but at the time I didn't know any better. I picked up the new version of Heroquest recently and introduced my wife and children to it. Just this past weekend my son (age 12) and I began painting the figures and your videos have been very useful. Thank you for making them.

[@ryane.3539]

Yes! The rerelease of this game was what got me into painting miniatures. That barbarian was the first mini I ever painted. So cool to see it here.

[@oldnerdonthemountain]

I have a soft spot for the OG Heroquest minis from the '89 set. The orcs are some of my favorites.

[@dextersamson8286]

Primal collectibles on MMF is exactly what you're looking for. They're great.

[@topnotchit]

Masters of dungeon quest a good stand in for hero quest?

[@garethlee6875]

Your videos not only inspired me to start miniature painting with the slapchop method, but also bo buy HeroQuest. I have them all primed and will begin the painting process following your methods for each mini, hope to see more.

[@ramonosuke]

I think if anything is a must buy from this set, it's the 2.0 Metallics. Even if I paint most of a mini the "traditional" way, I find myself reaching for the Speedpaint metallics when I need it. Also skin tones like Peachy Flesh, can be "brightened" with a very small bit of an ivory color, although to not risk it brightening to much, using the air paint like you did here is probably the best approach overall

[@TheOldestNoob]

I had the original and picking up the new one soon. I hope you paint it all on here. Love your slap chop videos. There is a ton of Heroquest heroes on my mini factory.

[@CaptainBadgerFlash]

I just got this game! I'm super excited to see all that you do with the mini's, thank you for covering it!

[@MrEric622]

Just got a new copy of HQ to play with the missus. Got her a custom wizard mini, can't wait for my paint to arrive. Methods have changed since I last painted. Can't wait!

[@intzbk1]

For the AP metal speed paints, make sure they are mixed well. There is a lot of sediment on the bottom that you need to make sure is mixed in before you use them, then they work great. Citadel Contrast paints have a few that have this same issue: Apothecary White, Tesseract Glow, Basilicanum Grey to name a few.

[@rdubs_hikes]

Great video as always! I'm sure you have heard this before, but I have fallen in love with GW's Imperial Fist Yellow. It is amazing and worth a shot!

[@Sharpevil]

Bite the Bullet does great warcraft-y styled minis, mostly for D&D. They're doing a dwarf month right now in January.

[@tommys6644]

Just bought this game. Played original, loved that game. Going attempt to paint them.

[@marcusthethief3947]

As probably already mentioned they have done a few extra characters you can play. They include for normal retail a knight, a rogue, warlock and bard plus the monk that die out soon. They did a Druid as well on the initial release but not available for retail just yet. Alt sculpts for the elf and barbarian are also included in two of the expansions as well

[@bolicob]

Looks fun, I should get a copy

[@liruichen]

I play it a lot with my kids, is great!

[@foofyguy]

I played Hero Quest when it was originally released. My friends and I have recently done a few of the scenarios with the newer release. It's fun for the nostalgia, but does feel a little too basic. It is easily convertible to Snackwell's Dungeon Crawl rules. It gives the game a whole new life.

[@arissp4950]

this game is good to get many generic minis that you use on pretty much every campaign of DnD. orcs, ogres, goblins, the standard classes. its worth it

[@Octopugilist]

Love this game! Love to play it! Love to paint it! I play every year with my nieces and nephews at Thanksgiving, and my adult friends love it as a fast-paced change from DnD Something you'll probably appreciate is the limitless potential for homebrew and narrative expansion. I love describing the sounds and smells of the rooms to my players to get them on edge even before the monsters show up. I'm running a HQ campaign for my DnD buddies where a black dragon has unleashed a plague that turns people into horrible dragon-hybrids. (Less dragonborn, more The Fly body horror.)

[@aroncheek5092]

Cool I've seen this around for decades and wondered what it plays like and what the quality is like

[@_walruseater]

same here

[@kariranta-ojala5181]

Ive played heroquest since 1989 and Ive played D&D since 1985. I love heroquest because it is a great pick up and play game and with the addition of the app I can play solo or with my wife. i find with all the homebrew stuff for heroquest it has become my favorite. Ive played it with kids and its great cuz its more simple than D&D. There are quite a few extra characters you can play in addition to the heros in the box. They can be found in expansions. Did you use the Speed paint 2.0 or the original Speed Paints

[@stevetoh2187]

Chaos is my Local FGS too 😁 great shop

[@matthewc395]

Love your videos :-) If you want a simple RP system, I used 'Cogent Roleplay' with my kids and it was great and not tied to a particular genre. I had the orignal Hero Quest back in the 90's but i think my favourite was Space Crusade!

[@garethlee6875]

Primal miniatures on MMF have great proxies for HeroQuest, they also have the gender swapped versions. I got the Zargon which they called Zahir, to use as the narrator. Printed at 75mm scale as he will never be on the actual board.

[@WyvernMinis]

Great stuff as always! I've also been playing Heroquest with my little girl recently, she's loving it! I've been working on 3D printing alternative miniatures too, not because of wanting clear bases but because I'm not keen on the bendy plastic, got most of the models all printed and in progress - I've got some videos showing the models I've found as good alternatives if you want to check it out 🙂

[@Dreddhimself]

Played this when it first came out back in 80s and still have it boxed and the space crusade game

[@jmac8955]

Mammoth Factory, Epic Miniatures and Cast n Play all do amazing sculpts and have huge varieties of player characters, npc's, creatures, buildings etc you could ever need for DnD

[@bigdaveyeo350]

you should look into 3d printing your own dice. couple of guys I play with do this and have some beautiful sets

[@dwaynegeorge2124]

I’m new to this and I just bought Monster of Sol’an and the only paint I have is createx wicked paints and two airbrushes and some detail brushes. Will this work for starters

[@pst5345]

the recent 2 ecpansions ate already released in USA. You have many other characters now.

[@angelhaken]

For 3D printed heroquest miniatures - PRIMAL Collectibles (Patreon or MMF) seems to be a good starting point.

[@Andiwaslikeomgwtf]

What glue did you use for the sand on the base? Trying to get into painting my minis, also what did you use for the black base and I've never seen anyone dry brush white on before putting colour on, looks amazing!

[@Modge17]

Highlighting with air colours over the Speedpaints is a great idea!

[@Dr.G.Monamie749]

Hiya, what wash did you use at the end on the armour & weapons?

[@chaulmoogra]

what did you use for the “wash” on the metal parts please?

[@bensrpgpile2]

Doh! What was the specific wash you put over the weapons at the end?! 😬

[@andrewwest4053]

Kraken 3D Studios for printable Dungeon Tiles. Awesome sets, they have 4 different themes and designed to do HeroQuest as much as Dungeons n Dragons dungeon crawls.

[@DaCheat100]

Is there a reason that the zenithal texture looks really grainy here? I’ve seen other vids from others painting the same minis with a slap chip that don’t look anywhere near as grainy?

[@Nobby-Nobbler]

What glue do you use for basing the models with sand? (For that matter - Is there a specific sand you use, or just fine grit?)

[@kevinhale9400]

I did buy a Heroquest ste for me and my kids about twenty or thirty years ago. Then, later on, I bought a set of the Advanced Heroquest which had slightly different characters but had slightly different terrain as well which you had to construct by rolling dice. I also bought one or two of the extensions which were slightly smaller in scope but just as entertaining. It is a brilliant game system but my kids grew up and wandered away to the world of computers. Shame really because it is no really the sort of hame you can play on your, own, lol.

[@geirgudj1]

some of the addons include new heroes. but the best addon is "against the ogre horde" has amazing ogres.

[@howardcoates6985]

Nice Dnd figures--- DM Stash and Crippled God Foundry. Honourable mention to Artisan Guild and Battle Yak

[@kevinmcreynolds123]

Since you have the bug for painting these minis I would love to see you paint the Ghost looking ones from the expansion, and the Undead from the Starter box

[@rogrig]

I watch this and everytime you say "yeah" I drink a shot. Guess I ll die.

[@susanjensen5787]

another good game for kids is talisman look into that one its old too but great and has a ton of expansion abilities but its fun for kids

[@OzzyHamid-cl2fi]

Can someone please help? I love the game. But the heroes have figured out that placing the barbarian at the entrance to the door protects all the other heroes from the monsters within. The monsters then have to attack one by one and get annihilated! How do you prevent this from happening? The challenge is gone! Thanks

[@sackofham]

When you paint your green skins try using Army Painter Alien Purple instead of black. Drybrush white over it like normal slapchop. Greens and browns look so good over Alien Purple. Also, I played Heroquest in '89 when it was first released and have beeen playing as much as I can sine it was re-released. Stupid adult crap always gets in the way of my group getting together.

[@AlienGenotype]

Looks like they did an update on this in 2022. The box is different from the 2021 one, the quality of the figures and inserts is abit better too from what im reading. I just got this today.

[@sackofham]

They have put out some new classes/player characters. There is the druid, warlock, bard, knight, rouge, and they just released monk. I think these new classes are for more experienced players or players used to D&D as they are a little more complicated to play that the OG four heroes.

[@tycondrius23]

those turned out well , I dunno about extra heroes for the expansion sets but I know there was female alt for all the heroes as part of the original kickstarter I believe, I really want to get this set but the local store that has it is a little pricey for my liking so I'm hoping it will get reduced at some point

[@RC-qk7qw]

More classes can be had by purchasing game expansion quest packs and hero packs. They have a rogue, monk, warlock, knight and bard.

[@Dazadoo]

Yes there's more caricatures There is a rouge, wandering munk, warlock, Knight, lady barbarian, bard,

[@susanjensen5787]

i have seen folks make a 3d board like your 3d printer for future ideas lol

[@the250mikec]

Cool

[@brokenheroics8223]

I highly suggest Aritsan Guild on My Mini Factory.

[@craigcas117]

I had the original hero quest as a kid, left it at my cousins and my uncle threw it out cause my youngest cousin would play with them like they were action figures and either broke the pieces or misplaced them

[@krroes]

Hell yeah!!!!

[@jeffholt9437]

"Peachy Flesh" - is this a licenced product ?!!!!!😊😊😊

[@Freakangel0000]

The giant dice is to really test your players' ability to dodge.

[@Spardin]

dragons rest do a heroquest board stl in there patron, looks very nice

[@allenforbes8108]

I heart YT notice system! You (3d prints) vs. TEMU.

[@daviekielty4695]

Whats the youngest you reckon will understand this game?

[@GloomspiteNoob]

Love Heroquest, Blood Bowl and Fight Fantasy books just remind me of the 80's. I've painted up Heroquest characters and monster for all of the current expansions that was a bit of a slog just the furniture and doors to go!

[@royoliver6294]

Use play this had the original version. Think need pick up the updated version

[@rangler90]

And yeah, yeah.

[@aclabonte]

BRODESWODE!

[@Jeffs40K]

Current Heroes from Hasbro ... Core Set Barbarian, Dwarf, Female Elf, Wizard ... Expansion "Ride of the Dreadmoon" Knight Hero, "Frozen Horror" Expansion Female Barbarian, "Mage in the Mirror" Expansion Male Elf, "Prophecy of Telor" Expansion Warlock, "Spirit Queens Torment"Expansion Bard ... Mini Character Expansions "Commander of the Guardian Knights" has a Male and Female Knight, this was limited release .... and "The Rogue Heir of Elethorn" Male and Female Rogues... there is Currently also a Pre-Order for "Path of the Wandering Monk" with male and Female Monk ... the hard one currently for you to get came from the Kickstarter is the Druid, my guess is there modeling a Bear for her Bearform ... SO Classes are Barbarian, Dwarf, Elf, Wizard, Druid, Bard, Warlock, Knight, Rogue and Monks out ... many sites like Ye Old Inn has player made classes, like the Cleric I ran tonight, also rangers and etc.

[@JacobKnox-t9b]

[@chrisstokoe3169]

[@farpointgamingdirect]

D&D has stunk since Hasbro took over. 2nd Edition is still the best!

[@susanjensen5787]

lol i just said that lol

[@allenstark9260]

Heroquest is great, there are so many people expansions for it with new characters and the app lets you all be players too and leave the app be in control of the bad guys
