First, I'm new to Hero Quest - I first played it a few weeks ago. My buddy dragged it out of his closet so his son (aged 8) and my daughter (aged 7) could play it. Another friend played Zargon while the myself, my buddy, and the two kids played. I instantly fell in love with the game. So far we're three quests in and it's only getting better!
Second, I want to get my own set of HQ. I looked on ebay and I've been shocked to see how much the whole game goes for. I think I'm just going to use this site as a resource and build my own game. I've experience with other table top games so I know how to make the likes of furniture and I have a few miniatures laying around.
Third, while I was driving home after our last game I noticed that my daughter was a little dour. I asked what the matter was and she said that there was no girls in the game and it disappointed her. So, I'm going to get female versions of all the heroes and use a little bit of photoshop wizardry and change the hero cards so they have pictures of girls on them.
That's me...
Fun times are ahead. What is your budget? As for female Heroes, the classic female Barbarian and Elf will cost you a pretty penny. It's feasible to get a pretty decent HQ game system for $100, if you're patient. If you lack a 3D printer, there are some quite excellent
female Barbarian, Dwarf, Elf, Wizard and a few other characters on Etsy (shipping times are long). Reaper Miniatures (Bones series is the cheapest) has some quite good female characters that you might consider. I used quite a few of them in my own sets. The personal touch is awesome, but if you need help I have some character cards already made for them (as have many others of course).
If you're trying to blend into the original set more, that can be done, if you're going to kind of make your own revamped look, that's good too. We're here to help and welcome to a cool little world of fans. Of course if you really want to wait a year the 2021 remake includes a bunch of Female characters, but you may have to order through the Hasbro Pulse website (not sure if those bonus heroes are still going to be available now that the fundraiser is over).
Female Hero character cardsSuggested Reaper Miniatures including female HeroesI have some pics below, but I will caution you, while they look great, the custom resin printed Elf and Wizard variants I've gotten are very fragile, so maybe not the best for a little tyke to play with. Reaper is probably a better choice since they're a kind of hard rubbery plastic. You can stick them to a base easily enough either from Zealot or use my solution in my signature (uxcel pipe end caps are really cheap and easy to modify).
