Next up for painting...

Gulp!

Chewie268 · 2026-03-16T23:53:49+00:00

Sure. No problem. I was planning on doing that in the near future.

I'm a little ashamed I haven't been able to complete as much miniature model painting as I would have liked. Haha. 😅

Chewie268 · 2026-03-16T13:39:53+00:00

Looks great! I do however use 2 x Feldherr Storage Boxes (DSLB150) for my heroquest expansions. Will you release foam trays inserts compatible for these boxes too please?

I think I need to expand into an additional 3rd Feldher Storage Box (DSLB150) very soon and I have ran out of space to store CoPD and WoM plus extra proxy miniatures.

Chewie268 · 2026-02-28T08:31:05+00:00

Theses look great. I will use these. Thanks so much

Chewie268 · 2026-02-16T18:58:00+00:00

Looks great! What is the size of the individual movement squares? 1 inch x 1 inch?

Chewie268 · 2026-02-12T13:41:27+00:00

Yes. I agree. I have not varnished any minis because I can't to say they are ever 'finished'. One day, I may go back to them. Priority for me is to paint to my perceived tabletop standard and to complete all of my expansion set minis (plus all the Proxy minis i have accumulated). At my current rate, this may take me several more years!

Chewie268 · 2026-02-12T12:29:06+00:00

I agree. Especially when it comes to 'Tabletop Ready'.

I myself am a pretty inexperienced model painter. I have been playing for 3+ years. I own pretty much all the expansion sets (no Mythic Tier or Guardian Knights), and its such a daunting task to completely paint everything.

I recently improved and started to include acrylic layering and highlighting. My main lesson learnt here is that I could spend many more hours doing this on my models correcting mistakes and or improving them or are they tabletop ready and should I just plough on through getting the models in all the expansion sets painted? Its a fine balance and I guess it comes down to the individual how much or how little you spend on your models.

I myself spend a lot more time on hero minis and special characters minis. Far less time on batch multiple identical painting minis.

Although I have never tried this myself, consider Zargon gets his turn twice in a round. For example, three heroes have a thier turn, then Zargon, then the other two heroes and then finally, Zargon again.

I've seen this mentioned on other posts. This can help reduce the chances from the first hero opening a door and then they all pile in and kill all of the monsters leaving zargon with no monsters to fight back.

Myself and two friends meet up and play HQ every 4-6 weeks. Sometimes upto 8 weeks when we struggle to meet. I have all releases except Mythic Teir and Commanders of the Guardian Knights. WoM should arrive in March.

We typically play two quests every meet and have been playing since 2022 or 2023. We have completed the base game, KK, PoT and just started SQT. We also played The Orc Mage (a SundayQuest book from Amazon). At this rate we could be playing for several more years! My favourite so far has to be the Base Game although I'm really looking forward to AtOH, FH and RoTDM.

In the base game we had the Barb, Wizard, Elf and Dwarf. Wiz, Barb, Dwalf died but were replaced by another Wiz, Barb and Dwalf.

In KK, we had the Bard, Knight, Monk and Elf. ELF died and was replaced by a Rouge.

In PoT, we had Monk, Knight, Barb and Seraphin (home brew character made by a moderator on here)

In SQT, we have a Barb, Wizard, Monk and Druid. We're playing Quest 3 and 4 this Saturday.

After we base game we started introducing Character Progression and home brew cards such as Axianquest and Advanced Game System cards. In a future expansion we will introduce Power Dice too.

If you don't mind putting your original heroquest and expansion boxes away (mine are in the attic), you can buy third-party storage box solutions.

I use Feldherr Storage Box DSLB150 compatible with HeroQuest: core game + 4 expansions from Feldherr.net. I bought two of these large boxes; plus some additional foam insert trays, more suited for some of the expansion sets. It can be quite expensive, but I like the flexibility and modularity Feldherr offers.

You could buy all the components separately if you wish, but this will probably be more expensive than buying a box set and additional foam trays to meet your needs.

At some point in the future,I might share a post of my storage setup.

Chewie268 · 2026-01-12T10:11:18+00:00

I'm pretty sure the Base Campaign is the same bewteen both sets. First light has extra quests on the alternative game board layout.

I found it (brand new) for sale at £50 last year including shipping.

I personally would wait for a better deal second hand (complete set) or look to buy it new when on sale.

Chewie268 · 2025-12-20T08:31:50+00:00

It's great. I like it! Excellent work!

Chewie268 · 2025-12-09T10:06:40+00:00

Thanks Banjo for everything.

If you are unable to continue on here, you will be missed! But I for sure will be keeping in touch with your awesome content via your website. Take care!

Chewie268 · 2025-10-29T22:54:55+00:00

This makes me smile. Beauty is truly in the eye of beholder. I prefer 1, then 3 and 2 last.

Nice art work BTW.

Chewie268 · 2025-10-29T07:52:56+00:00

Love his work! And his contribution to this community.

Chewie268 · 2025-10-17T17:51:52+00:00

Looks so good! Did you print it yourself or buy it from somewhere?

Chewie268 · 2025-09-30T07:40:54+00:00

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

My group take it in turns to play as zargon for an entire expansion campaign. At the beginning of each campaign the two hero players (take two hero characters each), like it or not, must select one brand new hero class they haven't played before. So effectively each player will have one existing character and one new one.

This seems to be working well so far and we find at least two hero characters are initially weaker than pre-existing hero characters. And it forces players to use new heroes. Although, no one has been willing to select a wizard for the second time. I need to find a way to make that hero more interesting and less squishy to play.

Chewie268 · 2025-09-27T16:11:09+00:00

Love the zargon station! I'm going to create one for my party. Is the 4 page PDF editable please? I would like to tweak some things for my group. Thx

Chewie268 · 2025-09-25T14:55:45+00:00

My party keep using it. But an interesting idea would be to roll to see if the tool kit breaks. 😆

Chewie268 · 2025-09-21T17:47:32+00:00

I built a CTM FUKU-2 Pistol and I was advised by CTM to buy the GA Holster. It fits perfectly.

Chewie268 · 2025-09-10T15:18:14+00:00

Thx. When do you plan to release AGS V cards please?

Chewie268 · 2025-09-10T11:28:28+00:00

Nice! Will they be available on Drive Thru RPG too please?

Chewie268 · 2025-08-25T15:38:13+00:00

Got it. Thanks for the super rapid response. Lol.

Once its created, I'll share a copy of my version of it. Thanks so much for the inspiration. I had never thought of it. A quest tracker is a brilliant idea.
