Heroquest remake by Hasbro - The BIG discussion thread

We also see a couple of orc heads (not severed, I mean above the crowd of guardian knights) in the background of the (Stephen Baker narrated) "knight trailer," so friendly orcs are being acknowledged here not just in the mythic tier materials.

BigBadToyStore's pre-order page for heroquest says:

General Safety Warning: Products sold by BBTS may be intended for Adult Collectors. Products may contain sharp points, small parts, choking hazards, and other elements not suitable for children under 16 years old.

Pokey swords, I'm telling you...

We've thought about that. The older ones seem to know enough to be careful, but there are plans to keep the small stuff away from the younger ones. And our first game went well, aside from the occasional eathquakes due to too many people on one small table.

Do you roll your eyes at me, friend, or just the words I say?

The words you say, not you!
The whole "orcs are just like us" is so cringe it's almost funny. It's a kids property, what's wrong with good and evil? Plenty of room for nuance in the human/elf/dwarf factions, why can't monsters be evil?

Whew ! My little nephew (age 4) loves monsters. "There's no such thing as monsters" he says, but he draws them anyway (reminds me of myself at that age). I wanted there to be "good" monsters for that reason so I can see the appeal there. But the good monster still gets to fight significantly more numerous bad ones...

Opened my stuff today. Only things off were that the rack's gluejob is pretty janky but not enough that I need another one, and a female mummy is missing a hand. Whatever, that one will be "Queen So-and-So the One-Handed" or something in the quest where there's a Mummy Lord in Perpetual Darkness.

A LOT of the minis needed the hot water treatment to straighten them out.

I'm not a painter. I find it tedious. Is it possible to just do a "wash" layer of paint to accentuate the details straight on the plastic or does that look like trash / not work?

A simple wash will indeed help show detail

use a contrasting color

for the grey ones use a dingy white

Dear Donuts, I LOVE this! This is a perfect solution for me! The details of paint without giving up the elegant simplicity and color-coding! THANK YOU for sharing this!
