More boardgame models today – these figures – from the current iteraton of HeroQuest – were originally gotten out as something fairly simple for Marouda to paint, but she opted out so I just gave up trying to convince her to work on them and got them done myself.  I do have a copmplete set of the original HeroQuest that I owned (some parts lost, but then replaced by a second copy from eBay years ago) – though having never got to play it in my youth at all until now with the re-release and the app, and already being in the hobby before the original HQ release, I don’t really retain any special nostalgia for the game, especially when compared to something like Space Hulk.

Simple models as you can see – all monopose so the only real way to give them any differentiation was to vary their pants (slightly), their undead skin tones and then the orientation of the Black and Red quartering on their shields – which is the main colour scheme of our Undead Army that I haven’t properly worked on in quite some time…

The Mummies just have the slight differentiation of their skin – so something you can barely see. I think they’re doing a coordinated performance to The Bangles’ “Walk Like an Egyptian”!

As noted, all of these models will fit in with the KoW army, though in the foreseeable future we’ll likely get more use out of them when playing HeroQuest in co-op using the app. Probably should have done a group photo with all of them in the same pic, but there ya go…
