In this post I'll show you the preliminary sketches for the Nature Spells, drawn by Luis Octavio NB.
The Bear Strength spell was originally featuring the barbarian. I was considering to use this set as a II level spells for the elf, so asked him to change the barbarian for the elf. Also, this spell can be used only on yourself and the barbarian can't cast spells.
Custom set of Nature Spells, inspired by the new release of the game but in the classic style. I will use them while waiting the new release to be delivered. The concept of this spell set is by Nikki Dawes.
The set can be useful for a Druid or any spellcaster character.
- Forces of Life is just a standard healing spell, recovering four lost Body points, like Healing Body or Water of Healing.
- Pixie can be a healing spell or also useful to reveal traps when there are monsters, so no searches are allowed and the Heroes may trigger some trap while fighting against an enemy.
- Bear Strength is instead a power up spell, giving the Hero one extra die in both attack and defense. This spell has the particularity that may be used more times during the same quest because the Hero can regain the spell after recovering all his lost Body points. Used in combination with the other two spells or a healing postion, this one can be used at least 3 times per quest!
Artwork painted by Luis Octavio NB, you can check the original sketches tomorrow in another post.
Took a picture of three classic Citadel Chaos Warriors, with a HeroQuest base.
The first one is Azoth the Faceless (Heroes for Dungeonquest), I just had another layer of paint on him. Looking much better with his robe that was brown and is now turned purple, while his helm is now golden. I am preparing a mini questpack featuring this sorcerer as the main character, with new spells.
The figure is not an original, it is a resin recast that was made and gently gifted by Granpasso (RIP) years ago.
The one in the centre is a Chaos Warrior (another resin recast). He had some bubbles and some missing parts were resculpted with green stuff.
The third one is a Chaos Champion. and is one of my favourite miniatures. The Chaos Champion was made and painted many years ago and one of my first attempt at making resin recasts. A big thank you to Woreno from the Italian HeroQuest forum for providing this and other miniatures to let me have the chance to make my hands on them. Unfortunately you can see part of his pouch missing and the bottom of the sword is also missing a part (it was a skull knob).
I just had fun measuring all the HeroQuest bases using an electroninc caliper.
It ended that not all bases match the same size perfectly.
Curious that even two miniatures of the same type measures different sizes; possibly they come from a different production or from different editions of the game (country, year of production) or maybe just the plastic used may be different and shkrink more or less than the another one.
The Dwarf seems to be the one wigh the biggest base.
A nice artwork by Pablo Sanchez, a HeroQuest parody.
I found this in my hard disk, but can't find the original source anymore to link the artist page.
Fortunately I usually save files with name of the author so at least I can credit him.

A funny and ironic quest I made about 2 years ago.
It was originally made in Italian but it's available also in
English, French and Spanish, translated by Sajungzak, Le Nain Rouge and Danstructor.
Cover artwork is painted by Christopher Lue-Quee.
Here is a sample of what you will find inside:
"My friends,
Once
again I have called upon you in an hour of great distress. I need your
help. It‘s been a while now since the pages of Loretome have begun to
turn gray, and day by day more writings seem to fade into nothingness.
Within
its vanishing pages it is yet written that this is caused by the
actions of Dionisus, a Chaos mage. Although infamous for his ability to
manipulate time and minds, he has never been considered a real menace...
until now. Dionisus is working to create a copy of Loretome...
The time to
act is now. Located in a land that in ancient times was called the Land
of the Gnomes, known now as the Gnome-Zone, your task is to find
Dionisus’s Manor, discover what his plan is..."
While browsing my phone I found a photo of my cabinet I took about two years ago, so I decided to make a new one and share it, because my blog needs an update or just because I like to share it with you.
In the cabinent there are some of my Heroquest and other Citadel figures, plus a few Grenadier, HHG and Ral Partha pieces too.
Wonder if I will ever find the time to paint them all...
Here is a mini questpack from an idea by mitchiemasha, a YeOldeInn member:
Purely as a homage to the rarity of sets that still have the Sorcerers Candlesticks in true original form, lit and burning. Like many, not only are mine not lit, there's no stick!!! Someone needs to write this Quest...
It features 3 Quests:
Quest 1 - “Quest for the Burning Candles” written by tb55555.
Quest 2 - "Candle with Care" written by Lestodante (yes, that's me).
Quest 3 - “Candle in the Wind” written by Maurice76 (requires 20 Blocked Square tiles and 10 Pit Trap tiles).

I recently had a lot of fun doing this conversion. This was a gift I prepared for the Ye Olde Inn Christams Exchange 2017 and my recipient was... Thor-in! Of course this post was hidden so he can not read this before receiving his gift. So, reading his nickname I guessed he must be a Thor fan and decided to have a try at converting the HeroQuest Wizard in a Thor miniature. The main body is taken from the Wizard, the arms are from a HQ Orc (hmm, maybe too big) and the hammer was gently gifted by the Advanced Heroquest Dwarf while some green stuff did the rest.
Mixing some words, Odin (the King of Asgard) and Houdini (the famous wizard) plus Thor and the word sorcerer, I named him "Odinì the Thorcerer".
