Don't let Sjeng around any orc maids. Those frilly outfits will set him off and I don't think his wife would like that. :P

I'm a fan of these two gobbos from Freebooter Miniatures:

Not quite HQ style but very funny and characterful minis. They are a part of a whole goblin pirate line.

They are pretty cool. Its easy to get models o fit in with a theme if needs be...throw any figure on a heroquest bevelled base and it instantly becomes a heroquest model :)

I was however thinking about modding the base set figures...might be a nice touch to have some variation to those monopose figures...but i cant let that distract me..furniture and the heroes are top of my agenda at the moment. And sculpt some new doors...would anyone be interested in replica doors made from resin ?

I doubt very much they would be free. But a few have mentioned now about casting or making replicas of some of my creations...an well doors seem like the perfect choice really. As ill need to replicate them myself anyways. I planned on sculpting an open and closed door. That could then be cast to make as many dupes as needed. Just a thought really. I wont be maki swinging doors ala advanced heroquest though...them thing break too easy

I had to try for donations. What would the cost be on them? It would be a while before I'd be able to buy some. Would you still be doing it 6+ months from now, or later than that?

just something im musing with at the moment. as for costs..i have no idea currently. its not something i regularly do. im sure there are others around this forum that could clear that up.
but im going to need to be able toi duplicate the door i create...or i will have to make each and every 1 by scratch..and i dont fancy that hehe

will i be doing in in the next 6 months? lol im working on a game that ive been working on for 23 years..i would safely say thats a yes :)

as promised earlier on a step by step tutorial thingy.
http://somethinginthedungeon.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/heroquest-fireplace-step-by-step.html

nothing painted. just the creation of the fireplace. which in my opinion is the most challenging of the furniture in HQ to create.
hope you enjoy. and ill post up pics when the painting has completed :)
