A bit more then a week ago I got this crazy idea in my head to build a Heroquest travel set in 6mm, fully magnetised.
So i sent an email to Steven Salotti over at Microworld Games and asked if he would make a special Heroquest pack for me as I only needed a few of each type of figure.
Got a reply the same day saying "no problem" and "which minis would I like?"
So here's what I ended up ordering:
8 Orcs (orc warriors)
6 Goblins (goblin warriors)
3 Fimir (dread ogers?)
4 Chaos Warriors ( Alliance Destroyers)
1 Chaos Warlock ( dark alliance command sorcerer )
1 Gargoyle (minotaur lord)
4 Skeletons (skeleton spearmen)
2 Zombies ( zombies or ghouls)
2 Mummies (wraiths ?)
1 Barbarian ( alliance barbarian)
1 Dwarf (dwarf berserker)
1 Elf (wood elf hero)
1 Wizard (wood elf sorcerer)
As you can see I had to make some allowances as certain models were not available and I had to pick something that would feel similar.
On the other hand at $13.50 USD for all the minis shipping USA to Belgium included, I don't really mind buying more later if anything better should pop up
They arrived 4 days!!! after I ordered them.
While waiting for the minis to arrive I started work on the board.
I cut the tiles out of a piece of magnetic paper and glued them onto another piece of magnetic paper.
then I painted it using sponges for the larger areas and a size 0 brush for the details.
I also managed to finish about half of the furnishings
16 open doors
5 closed doors
6 secret doors
2 double square cave in tiles
8 one square cave in tiles
1 set of stairs
6 pit traps
1 wizard's work table
2 ordinary tables
3 treasure chests
12 skull tokens
Well that's it for now, I must say I'm a bit torn between building the rest of the board first or getting stuck in to those lovely miniatures.
More to follow as and when I finish them.
