Thanks, Diego! 
As promised, here you have my AAR. Can't remember when I last played this game, but I guess it was about mid 90's, some of the expansions. Anyway, I was so eager to play this again! :
Doesn't look that impressive so fat, I know, know
. Just give me some minutes...
We tried the first scenario in the booklet, The Trial. he adventurers must explore the dungeon and eventually get to kill the Gargoyle.
As the rules are reeeally easy, I didn't have any problem catching them up again. That has become an issue for me, as it seems I have lost my ability to get any concentration on complex rulesets along the years
. Fortunately this wasn't the case, all went smooth and easy .
The characters found the Gargoyle and tried to slain the beast
Using the power both of magic and sheer muscle
Hooray!
As the game was so quick, we decided to play a second round. For that purpose we went on the second scenario, The rescue of Sir Ragnar.
Back to battle again!
As we were now familiar with the rules, the game was even quicker (not that it was difficult or anything, just having to manage a couple of rules)
Will our heroes be able to rescue Sir Ragnar?
By the skin of their teeth!
You can find both (complete) reports in the blog:

I must say I enjoyed it just like the very first day. You may say it is nostalgia, but my mates were newcomers to the game and they pretty much enjoyed it too! So I can say HeroQuest still rocks 25 years later!

You thought you had seen my last on HeroQuest? Ha!
Once I had all my core game ended, it was time to get on the next stage of the project, the expansions! I have gathered the Ogres first. These models are a slight challenge for me, don't find them particularly easy, not having precisely a wide variety of poses or pieces. I was trying a different approach than the usual, the ugly-poor-bastard-giant-guys, using just a couple of brownish colours and nothing else. I had already gone through that way in the past, but I didn't want that this time. What if I tried a more civilized, distinguished style, just as the very box illustration suggests?
This is what I got with this new approach:
The use of arabesques and trimmings resulted in an interesting option. Suddenly it made the clothes look much more opulent and stylish, almost silky
Not really sure if the inspiration is just medieval European, Byzantine, Arabic or what, but it seemed to work...
So I guess It's a deal!

My next step should be the Wizards (if I ever get to find all of them, I'll have to delve deep in my boxes...)

Yep, those Ogres are awesome.
I'm really impressed by the patterns on the shirts

I would have guessed the inspiration for your shirt pattern was Midwestern American Tourist . . . which is to say me. I think I've owned half those shirts at one time or other. Very very nice job.

Back to the project again! You had already seen my Orc Shaman, but I still had to bring the rest. I've been able to find both the High Mage and the Storm Master within my old lost boxes, but haven't been able to find the Necrromancer, I needed some eBay help... sigh.
Nevermind, here they are!
The four of them:

The mercenaries also came in that expansion set. I've been able to find the minis, but still trying to locate all the weapons, they keep on appearing wherever but where I expect them to be!

Just a month later!
It took me some time to muster again all the minis and enough weapons, but I finally somehow managed to get this:
No complicated features, as usual, just an efficient paintjob, enough to deploy them on the board.
Besides, I found this other gentleman in one of my bits boxes; he looks more than ready to lead the mercenaries to glory or death (or both!)
With these I have finally painted all the original minis, both from the core game and all the expansions. Hooray!

At some point in the future I must begin to look for alternative minis in the Oldschool fashion to expand the ranges. That will come, that will come...

A friend recently handed me over this lovely guy, a Citadel Barbarian dated 1985.
I've fulfilled the Commandments of Oldhammer and have included some checkers and at least one pice in bright red
.
I'm using him as an alternate Barbarian for my HeroQuest.
You can also find him here:
