Heroquest the way it's meant to be

[zoggin-eck]

Man, I hate seeing that 'Eavy metal page. I'd much prefer that skeleton over the "bigger than a living man" one I have tons of. Ha, kind of like how different the models in space crusade were, with the prototypes shown.

OK ... this thread has caused me to dig out a set of Heroquest to have another go at.
I hate you all.
(Not sure when ... I have a few projects on the go already. )

Harry, I just posted some of my own HQ shenanigans on my blog.

How I wish the Orks and Gretchin looked like their prototypes/on the side of the Space Crusade box...

Looks rather similar, don't they? I mean, all the models look similar - but the gargoyle especially. I'm curious if he has a plastic variant or if he just did a conversion to get near the metal prototype in appearance. Could someone with a better grasp of french than "fromage" ask?

The question intrigues me too, as I happen to know some french, I took the liberty to ask, let's hope he answers.

If I had to bet, I would say he has the metal version.

Come on guys, haven't you ever played "spot the difference" I'd say he has a plastic version but he's converted the whip and sword. Either that or he's converted a metal version to look a bit more like the plastic one

leg armor too

his matches the prototype but I think you're probably right. it looks like he added rings to the chaos sorcerer as well.

Yeah, it's no question a plastic version (just look at the wings, dead give away). Just wondering if there (possibly) was a different plastic version. Not very likely with the costs of plastic tooling, 3-up sculpting and so on...

He's gone to great lengths duplicating the McVey paintjobs (and trumping ol' Mike on several accounts). Modding the weapons of the gargoyle isn't that big a deal in comparison. =) I'm a bit impressed by the whip though, it's very close to the original even if there are a few differences. He should've carved the sword to better match the curves of the original prototype.

Wonder how many of the metals were made, btw... Anyone know?

 

[mbh]

it looks like he made little changes to a few of the models

crazy

 

[Asslessman]

He replied and confirmed it's a converted plastic model to match the metal prototype.

the guy who paints this heroquest set is a professionnal sculptor...and also a god painter...who has won multiple Demons and a Slayer Sword (well known in France)

Sure...he's gifted
