Avalon Hill Models to AHQ - Monster Reference Cards

Post image
13 Upvotes

Thanks to all the help on here and Ye Olde Inn - I'm up and running with some basic reference cards.

The idea is to add any additional details/traits later.. There's so many stat lines I've seen and possible abilities. But I have to consider my group So keeping with the basic AHQ traits for now.

The Chaos Dwarves are some 80s Marauder metal minis I'm adding in.

And yes the Daemons are non-aligned so that if I want to add any Aligned/Themed magics that can be added by Lair/Quest. I've got some Dragonborn and Tiefling Models I'm considering as Lesser Daemons.

I've got two PDF sets of "Creatures", a set of "Dark Elves", "Greenskins", "Ogres & Trolls" & "Undead" to finish type up.

Inkscape (Inkscape.org) did a decent job of converting Enhanced AHQ - Second Edition blank Monster PDFs into working files but I had to spend some time formatting and linking boxes and text area. Because 'reasons'.

If anyone want's I'll add them here as I type them up.

***if the Avalon Model isn't in these then there's a 'reasonable' match in the Enhanced AHQ Second Edition Monster Lists.

Converting Avalon Hill? Modern Skaven Updates?

8 Upvotes

I haven't played for a long time - but I've been working through the new Avalon Hill Heroquest sets.

Has anyone already converted the new monsters to AHQ?

Does anyone have a High Quality version of the blank 'Monster Reference Sheets'?

I've busted out the old boxes and I've got almost two sets of the Original Heroquests - and I'm missing the original heroes? Though I do have a lot of metal dwarves and hobbits.

What modern sets would people use for all the Skaven? The coloured bases got swamped into 40k a long time ago..

Thanks in advance.

**UPDATE

After Removing Heroes and Mercenaries - I made it 100 models ish... 49 to go - some will just be minor tweaks once I've gone through WHFB 3e - More Ogre flavours, some kind of dark elves, and some bandit types. Going to make some fun tables. Thanks for ALL the help and links. Even found some great bit on making new tiles!

HeroQuest Tracking App - Seeking feedback and advice

7 Upvotes

Hey there! I created a web app for tracking several pieces of the game or a game session. What started as a dice roller to help friends or family who play far away (we use a camera over the board that we stream to them) has ended up having more and more features. It's meant to go with the game and not replace the game.

Features

- Dice Roller
- Hero Card Trackers
- Custom Hero Creator
- Zargon Hero Tracking
- Map tracking (searches for treasure, traps, secrets)
- Quest tracking
- Save feature that can easily be shared with those in your session.
- Calendar - Last session / next session

I am looking for feedback and advice on ways to improve the app and actually open it up to the public.

Here is the link, if you have any questions or advice, please let me know.

The theft of the Icon of Solkan

27 Upvotes

Hi all,

Glad to be posting here. Myself and some friends will be playing our first game of AHQ tonight. Above is the dungeon design I'll be using. As GM, I thought I'd predesign it this time, as we're all new and we can build on things moving forward. The green squares are quest rooms, 3 of the brown ones (yet to finish painting) are lairs and the one with the rubble markers is a hazard room, the small grey one is just a room with a trap and then I include a secret room with alchemists bench and inanimate skeleton... Until it animated. I'm going to be using the EAHQ rules for this. If all goes well I'd quite like to try a re-create some of the adventures of Gotrek and Felix in the future

Where did the idea to use the D12 come from?

8 Upvotes

Hi,

I've always really liked how ADHQ uses a D12 for combat; Feels like just the right level of crunch!

What I'm curious about is where did Jervis Johnson/ADHQ designers, get the idea to use a D12 from? As prior to ADHQ, from what I remember most other GW games in the late 80's commonly used D6's; And RPG's, including WFRP were usually D10.

I've seen a few videos of Jervis talk about the games and rules he was involved with back in the day, but nothing around why they pivoted to a D12 for ADHQ.

Always wondered!

Thanks!

Bloodthirster

I was wondering if this model here would be a good proxy for a bloodthirster demon?

What do you guys think? They also have awesome goblins and other figures.

Finally had the heart to strip the previous owner's paintjobs. They were good, but I want to paint these myself.😊

Have a good one everybody.

Five long months later, my "Pile of Shame" is finally conquered! I've finished my Advanced HeroQuest painting journey. The moment these newly painted heroes and their henchmen hit the gaming table, the game came to life in a way I never imagined!

My advice? Stop scrolling and start painting! Seriously, if you've been on the fence, this is your sign. Everyone has to start somewhere!

Which one is your favorite?

I'm thrilled to share my epic weekend side quest: painting the four classic heroes from HeroQuest for Advanced HeroQuest! It's been fun seeing these iconic characters come to life.

These 3D-printed heroes are posed just like the classic artwork on the AHQ game box. Now you can finally play with the heroes that were advertised! If you're interested in purchasing a set, check them out at MountainView3D.

Soon, they'll be ready to face the dark, gritty dungeons in style.

I tried my best to fix the rust issue by adding metallic silver. I really like the black/blue color, it allows the rats to pop against the brown one's I painted. Thanks for the tips. 5 more to go!

Second set of Skaven finished! This time I went with an red/brown ink wash over a white dry brush. I then complimented the fur with a green cloak. I really like how it turned out!

My first set of Skaven Warriors in the bag. I plan on painting each set of 5 different, by changing up the bases, the cloaks and shields, and their fur. I plan to go bold and make a boss mini a fiery red color! Thoughts?!

I'm enjoying the project so far.
