Ye Olde Inn

Long as we're colorizing stuff...(thank you Hasbro!) based on the likely choices they'll be using.

I have a sinking feeling that they'll probably make all of the Heroes the same shade of red, but I'd really love to see the females in blue (like EQP/BQP). "Mentor" would probably be red, but I think he and the Witch Lord should be midnight blue, like the "Wizards of Morcar" boss figures.

The Dragon isn't happening, but I wonder what color it would be? It's tempting to say Gray, but he called it the "black dragon" so maybe it would be the soul "black" figure, which was a very rare, but apparently canonical Hero Quest mini color (I own a set of Mercenaries which are in unpainted black plastic, unless they're really high quality bootlegs). Perhaps it can have new life in a fantasy chess set...

Sure, there is no pronunced bosom, but I was thinking, if it's based on a Bat design... female bats don't have very pronounced mammary glands (mostly covered up by fur anyway). The unlock Gargoyle was going to have smaller horns and smaller feet than the default one. Not every species has the males being bigger and more muscular than the females, but given the humanoid form of the monsters, it's not that surprising. Oh well.

The feet on the alt (not) unlocked gargoyle actually looks like it was influenced by the feet on the original Bloodthirster models, which also had cloven feet.

When they first revealed the remake Gargoyle I thought it looked like a generic demon. This one looks even more generic demon, but I guess those are Gargoyles for you...

I'm wondering how tough it will be to saw off those "Dread Warrior" horns, rotate them upward, then re-attach with a ball of green stuff between them.

That particular helmet was only one of a multitude of helmet options that have existed for the Chaos Warriors.

Yeah, but for Hero Quest, that's what we've always seen. It's less generic...

(still, cool looking painted figures from Gamesworkshop)

Having all the models have the same helmet isn’t very chaotic. It’s rather ... orderly. :ugeek:

But I suspect it would help inspire...

It's organized Chaos! Modding the sorcerer helmet too.

Could be my imagination, but I see what appears to be jewelry and bikini bottoms.

It's ironic Hasbro branding has managed to create a gender-inclusive female monster literally wearing a chainmail bikini . . . at least it is well-named. :roll:
