Checking now, but I can confirm that the Portcullis comes from AHQ. The Treasure Chest posted does not, but DOES seem to have been done in the same artistic style of AHQ.
In fact, I believe that upon seeing the MWS (not that I ever knew it existed before Ye Olde Inn) my first impression of the Hazards were how they were mostly all done in the artistic style of AHQ. I think the Wooden Treasure Chest may actually BE from AHQ. The Closed Zombie Tomb seems more like the Tombs from RotWL, but the Open Zombie Lair is more like the Pit from AHQ.
The listed Trap Door seems to be the Grate from AHQ. if I recall correctly, there was also an actual Trap Door tile in AHQ.
Finally, and somewhat ironically, the Death Reapers are NOT from AHQ. AHQ included Skull tokens for tracking monster wounds, but they were a lot less cartoonish than the Death Reapers provided.
Thanks for the replies! Yes, that PDF for some reason only works if you download it (rather than clicking to load in your browser) at the moment. So clearly inspired by the same artstyle, a kind of cross promotion. I just wondered if they were just dumping AHQ material straight into HQ classic.
I also didn't realize that Advanced HeroQuest was purely Gamesworkshop without MiltonBradley (Hasbro) being involved. I wonder if that means there would be any chance of seeing a revamp of AHQ? I suppose it wasn't nearly as popular to get nostalgic about. Then again, if they DID remake it... boom, we could get some quality GW minis to swap into the Hasbro remake. I can dream...
