Ogres are dark blue in the EQP, Red or Dark Blue in ATOH. Hence, my curiosity if it was painted.

I have quite a bit less than most here … No expansions, etc. But I have got two full sets and then some … and one of my sorcerer's tables is well-lit!

I have enough minis given my two sets to play Kellar's Keep if I make some tiles and bits. I have an extra set of undead which gives me enough minis for Return of the Witch Lord if I do likewise. And I have a bit of extra furniture since a number of quest packs people have made require two or three sets worth of furniture, so I'm good on that front. What's left? The minis from both US and EU exclusive expansions … I'll need to either decide to bite the bullet and buy those or find proxies. Proxies are most likely since I could have a printer and wash/cure machine for LESS than the cost of just the US-exclusives, and I'm in the US!

I am starting to need to think about storage though. I don't like the idea of throwing things in the box at this stage. Particularly since I have two boxes and more than was meant to fit into them now.

(I also have AHQ and the AHQ paint set, which I am not counting here. Not Terror in the Dark unfortunately, but I may proxy that as well if I find it useful to do so.)

Oh interesting... to match the Mercs I suppose. I had up until this point never seen one, so I didn't know!

If you're afraid about hoarding, check this pic someone has recently uploaded on BGG: :o

Wow, that box … I haven't seen it in ages. EU first edition I guess.

Would love to have one of those for the memories. Would love to have the stuff for The Dark Company and the exclusive expansions too. As I said, I've got all I need but the cardboard bits for KK/RotWL.

Speaking of, to clarify … those tiles are one-sided are they not?

ETA: Space Crusade! Kinda wish that was ever a thing in the US. :( The only way I'll be playing it is to homebrew the entire game most likely. Not impossible I guess if I can find a resource like the Inn, but I haven't yet.

The KK/ROTWL tiles are thing and single sided compared to the GS tiles.

That pic above isn't a HQ gamer, that's a pizza delivery guy who got creative with the boxes. I'll take a double pepperoni and cheese with a 2 liter of Heroic Brew please.

One guy gets all those pizza boxes, and here you are with only a craving. It's not fair! Oh well, maybe he will offer a good price... (not for me though I've already got what I sought after).

Reminds me of the person (sorry I forgot your name) who said he got a bunch of HQ sets back in the day because he couldn't afford a warhammer fantasy army and so used those minis instead. If that was the goal then it kind of makes sense. But buying them now, sheer insanity, unless you raided some old warehouse or something...

US version of this tiles are thinner than the GS tiles, while the European versions are thicker, like the others.

Ah interesting. I meant to say "thin" above, oh well. Double sided too?

That reminds me, were the EQP/BQP tiles double sided, because it kind of looks that way on the scans.

And what's this about the "German board" being bigger than the others, does anyone have a picture?

The German board being bigger is homebrew, just like the myriad dice colors.

German players started making their own boards and found it easier to make a symmetrical board with double-wide corridors to the center which made the central room 6x6, and they doubled the width of the outside as well. It changes player tactics a bit. So does having more double doors in the game (which is not necessarily done by German players.
