Mako Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Oo, shiny! I do want a raspy crew eventually, theres some really nice models in the fluffy set. And a sexy retro deck. Jealous... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 The plastic seems to be the same quality as that from the old HeroQuest game, among others. Which, although I'd never bothered to paint the figures for the game, they've certainly held up to several years worth of play and rough handling during my many moves from one apartment to another, aside from the occasional weapon snapping off due to poor storage conditions. As I've said on another thread, be careful when removing the models from the sprues, as thin pieces, like the ropes on both of my Hanging Erics, have a tendency to break (one before I opened the box; one while removing it from the sprue). To minimize damage, I use a top cutter to snip the sprue, then cut the remaining flash off with an Xacto knife. Thanks for sharing! ...we need to give you a nickname. Yours is too long to type.

Mister Monkey Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yeah I do all his painting so will end up doing these too .... and the retro deck is sexy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I really need to paint aRaspy. Or just about anything Malifaux. No, wait, that's right, I'm holding out for Misaki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Well, we could use IWLY, that's a lot shorter. Or Sally, but I think that might be harsh! *wink* Ahh, hero quest, I remember that. Just! Good solid plastics, though I'd hope the details were a little better on this stuff than on those. Technology has moved on a fair way. Always handy to have someone prepared to buy you stuff to paint, then get it out your way when it's done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Like my heroquest models aye ... thanks for that ... may finally have to invest in some little side cutters though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I miss hero quest, I suspect it got thrown out many years back after being played to bits then forgotten in a cupboard. Sad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Pretty sure I will end up with a bunch of peoples Relic Knights to paint May next year ---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ---------- Plan a trip here, I got heroquest, nobody ever want to play it though...

Mako Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Dear me, relic knights. A fair amount of skintight clothing and no clothing on those, no? Fun times! ---------- Post added at 06:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 AM ---------- Ed, you missed out, it was hilarious. Cheesy as hell, but great fun.

Mister Monkey Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yeah broke down and signed up to the kickstarter.... Wait.... you never played Heroquest Ed? How on earth did you get into gaming then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 40k at a mall, actually. It just kinda spiraled from there. ---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 AM ---------- I have to admit, the Paladin Order models from Relic Knights do look like fun. Sadly, I'll never get anyone to try the game, much less play. Lots of resistance to anything other than 40k here. Starting to get really annoying.

edonil Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Ha, that'd be a blast! Maybe we can arrange that sometime, lol. There happen to be a Vassal mod for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I hear you on the trouble of trying to ween people off of the Games workshop games Ed they seem to be so entrenched in too many peoples lives they seem unwilling to give anything new a try.

edonil Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yeah, that's what I'm running into. It'd be less annoying if the GW crowd didn't view themselves as the only 'important' group in the shop. I'm gonna see if I can rearrange my schedule to show up on Thursday nights and try to tempt some of the board gamers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Monkey Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Still remember one conversation I had with a fantasy player who was busy telling me that fantasy was the best game ever and every other system sucked. So I asked him what else he had tried and the reply was nothing, they all suck..... sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yeah, I've seen that before too. Always fascinated especially when I hear 40k players say they don't like Skirmish games...I just kinda stare at them blankly, because 40k is a large scale Skirmish after all.

Mister Monkey Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Ha ha yeah, I really dont appreciate being told that a particular game is better then all others when you have no frame of reference. Am quite lucky at my new club there are a lot of the fringe gamers who play all the different stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_was_like_you Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 If you haven't tried HeroQuest, feel free to pick up HeroScape instead. Same rules / stats for the most part, except Quest was meant to be run by a DM versus 1 - 4 players, whereas Scape is PvP. Oh, and Quest was played on a board with approximately 1" squares, whereas Scape has much larger Hex terrain. All they had to do to make the change was change the dice. Quest had Skulls, White Shields, and Black Shields (for the DM to have the monsters defend). Scape has Skulls, Shields, and blanks (add Black Shields where the blanks are and they're the same). There's even an app for HeroScape dice. [Most monsters were meant to be mooks, weighing in at 2/1 or 1/2 with only 1 wd. 3/3s with 1 wd and 4/4s with 2+ started to get scary.] Malifaux stats can work handily if you want to give it a go (if dice won't curse your Fate). To attack, roll a number of dice equal to your character's Cb versus your opponent's Df dice (or other appropriate traits). Each Skull you roll is a hit. Each Shield they roll is a block. Any Skulls leftover are applied as Dmg, armor, etc. is factored in, it's converted to Wds, object, etc. takes effect... [I've also Scape dice in a game of Magic, where each creature was treated as having only 1 Wd.] That being said, it shows how we can take our Fate decks and go the other direction, using them with the stats for HeroQuest or HeroScape. ---------- Post added at 02:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 AM ---------- Johnny it is! Welcome to the OTT, always glad to see a new face. So, how's it going? Not bad. Life and warmer weather have kept me from painting, or even playing 'Faux, but with GenCon's releases and the soon to be cooling weather, I have some fresh motivation.

edonil Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I did play Heroscape once, wasn't a bad game, honestly. Kind of an 'intro to wargaming' thing that I thought was interesting. Whereabouts is Akron in relation to Erie, out of curiosity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
