Hello all,
With the blessing of a new camera and a new photo set-up, I figured I would take a few snap shots of my Heroquest figures. We, as a family, really love this game. It provides fun for even the youngest (5) whose dwarf is an unstoppable beast. The eldest finds it entertaining and even the wife joins in the fun. I get stuck with the job of the evil gamemaster - infuriating how difficult it is to hit with the evil creatures! - and we all have fun.
So without further ado, I bring you the heroes of Heroquest:
There is little to say regarding their paintjobs - quick and fun, the minis are surprisingly well sculpted (they are a bit square, though) and little effort was required.
Dwarf
Wizard
Thats that - monsters coming up soonish :-).
All the best,
Kasper

- Elf
- The elf figurine is tall and slender, armed with a short one-handed sword. He is equal in attack strength to the dwarf, but is able to use one element's spell - air, earth, fire, or water magic. He has still fewer body points than the dwarf, but higher mind points allowing him to resist magical attack. His starting weapon is a short sword. He starts with 6 body points and 4 mind points.
- Barbarian
- The barbarian figurine is depicted as being tall and muscular, brandishing a broadsword. He is the strongest character in combat, benefiting from excellent attack and moderately good defense, but lacks any magical abilities. He has the most body points, so he can withstand a lot of injury. His starting weapon is a broadsword. He starts with 8 body points and 2 mind points.
- The dwarf figurine is short, stocky and well armored, carrying a battle axe. He is very good in defense, but lacks the attack strength of the barbarian and has no magical abilities. The dwarf also has the unique ability of being able to disarm traps without special equipment. He has slightly fewer body points than the barbarian. His starting weapon is a short sword. He starts with 7 body points and 3 mind points.
- The wizard figurine wears a full-length cloak and carries a staff. In combat, he is the weakest in attack, but compensates for this by being able to use three elements' spells, for a total of nine spells. Has very few body points so can be easily killed in combat. His high mind points allow him to be more resistant to the effects of magic. His starting weapon is a dagger. He starts with 4 body points and 6 mind points.
Thats that - monsters coming up soonish :-).

Wonderfully painted characters - great photography too.
