HeroQuest Compatible Miniatures

[drathe]

I know we have a couple threads for substitute miniatures, but I thought I would begin a thread to list miniatures that are compatible with HeroQuest. If anyone is looking to add in some new monsters or characters, they can check here for some ideas.

  The Skaven make a great addition to HeroQuest, especially if you're going to play the Return of the Witch Queen Quest Pack designed by Phoenix. The Heroes make good substitutes, but even better characters for the Heroes to run into. The Henchmen could be used to expand your Mercenaries, or act as guards or villains. The tiles are good for extras or expanding the board with the random dungeon floor tiles too.

  • 12 Henchmen
  • 20 Skaven
  
  
  
• Battle Masters
  
  Some of the miniatures from Battle Masters can be used in HeroQuest. I like the Beastmen and Chaos Archers. Most of the miniatures don't really fit well as Battle Masters is a field battle game, but might work will if you are creating some scenarios on outdoor terrain. Some are a little smaller than HQ mins like the Goblins, Orc and Chaos Warriors. These smaller minis could be used for alternate types, or statues that are called for in certain quests. The sculpt quality is not as good as HQ, but pretty close. If you happen to pick up a copy to score some minis, you'll want to pick up some bases too. These were designed to fit into trays, but will also fit into slotted bases.

  The Dragon is perfect and the Manscorpion is pretty cool. The rest of the miniatures are compatible but not a nicely sculpted as HQ miniatures. The gargoyles aren't recommended for use as they are a bit oddly shaped and awkward to move around the board. I wouldn't use the Hero miniatures as substitutes or expanded Heroes, but they would make good travel companions in side quests, or even villains! A lot of other pieces from this game can be used for special occasions like the game boards, some of the tiles, and the cards (good for stealing ideas from).

  There are some miniatures in this game I would like to have such as the Giant Rats, Bats and Spiders, but this game is hard to find and overly expensive. If you happen to find a copy for a good price than the miniatures could be used in HeroQuest.

  This game comes with a variety of miniatures similar in size to those of HeroQuest. The miniatures are however, composed of a rubbery material, rather than hard plastic. This makes them difficult to paint and causes paint to chip and break off easily. But if you don't paint your miniatures, they're a nice addition.

I've never played it, or seen it in my area so I didn't know it was compatible. Got a miniature list, or link to contents? I'll add them into the original post.

Thanks, I'll try and compile a list to add to the post. I realise I also forgot the D&D board game.

[HeroQuestFrance]

I also use the MIGHTY WARRIORS (same as Adavanced HeroQuest game) minis.
I mixed HQ with D&D (hasbro 2003) + the 2 expansions.

Trap tiles,monsters & special dices.

I had a chance to pick up a Mighty Warrior set, but at the time I didn't know exactly what it was and I thought it over too long and it was snapped out from under me.

[HeroQuestFrance]

The floor tiles are the same than advanced heroquest expansion terror in the dark damn and the corridors are the same too.However we can notice all the floor tiles are more thin than the original ones.

The combat system is nice (the spells too) but it's very basic,a cheap wargame with miniatures GW already had in stock.
The positive point is the doors : 100% new & compatible with HQ !

I picked up Dark World: Village of Fear (added to list). It comes with a great assortment of miniatures (as listed above). Nicely detailed, but the best part is the Village. It looks really cool. There are 5 buildings, some with multiple floors to hide miniatures in. This will make a great addition, especially for an in-town scenario. If you find one at a price you feel is decent, I suggest picking it up right away.

Hi
Managed to get hold of the plastic dwarfs and orcs that can be found on this site (i got the same ones from insurgency gaming) and found them perfect for heroquest. No glueing pieces together and reasonable prices make them an even better attraction. Its a pity the range seems to be limited though. Don't know what company makes them, or if they were intended for any specific game. It would be brilliant if they made a few other varieties of this standard.
