Looking forward to this one and waiting for it to land in Australia! The quality of sculpts are improving. It was a slog to paint all the Mythic Tier, Kellars Keep and Return of the Witch Lord but when I thought these would be great doubling up as D&D miniatures, it helped with the motivation to get them done!
Apparently the designers have just ported over the main 7 quests from the original European release in a pretty much unchanged form...HOWEVER the new Heroquest uses the american rule set, which means the monsters are likely to be WAY over powered as in the Euro version all monsters had only one body point! If you do a playthrough will be interesting to see how the Heroes do!
Hey thank you. Great stuff. Got the original one. Beside this Arena mode, even the tiles are almost exactly the same. But I am amazed by the new stuff that's in it as well. Nethertheless I am a collector and be committed in the new set as well so ... Shut up and take my money! best
Wicked review, Ash! Love the Ogre and arche4 models in this one. All the components to the expansions look gorgeous, and they're kind of hard. I found The Frozen Horror Quest Pack extremely difficult and the new enemies almost too lethal. The Frozen Horror model is a real beaut, too! In any case, HeroQuest is still the best game ever! Haha
I had HeroQuest back in the late 1980's, the board and miniatures were made of stronger material. Then most things remade today are'nt as strong as the original, especially if over 20-30 years old.
@@KentKaliber Yes I was in ok. Ogre and Wizards were by a million miles the best expansions as brought new rules and new monsters. Keep and Return were just more of the same.
If you do this playthrough, (and please do!), please think about getting the 'Rogue' Hero pack and maybe some of the others (Knight? Monk?). They're really fun and can really vary the game play. Many thanks

One of the BEST HeroQuest expansions of all time!

I had the original Ogre Horde as a kid. The miniatures were a step above the other Hero Quest bits from what I remember
Me too. It was one of best expansions imo.
Crazy you owned that back then! You must be in the UK?
@@KentKaliber That’s right mate. I wish I had kept all my Hero Quest bits.
THE BEST PART ABOUT HEROQUEST IS THE GARGOYLE

This is cool. Getting the Original Ogre Horde box was next to impossible unless you were willing to sell your first born.
Ash my lovely fellow, so great you reviewed this expansion with your face painted Ogre style 🙂
As I finished painting my Core Set, this was the first expansion I picked up. Great addition and adds new dimensions to the core game.
I’m up for Playing! Love HeroQuest
Great one Ash, thanks for the review

Cool box set. I hope GW goes with the barbarian kings design of the ogor refresh in AoS.
If I could I would my man! This looks super fun. Can't wait to see a gladiator battle man. Looks so sick.

This is the first expansion that I am looking forward to picking up.
Rise of the Dread Moon and the others are amazing too!
"What do you mean, "They drank the potion"? How could they drink the potion man? They're animals!"
I'm pretty excited to get this, though I know if I wait Amazon will blink and start charging $30 for it in a couple months.
Saturday morning review! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎉🎊🥳🤩
Oh man this could be fun

It would be awesome if you had a group playing HQ on the channel.
Yes the Original Ogre Hoard was probably the best of the expansions. it brought so many new rules.
Wizards of Morcar was also excellent.
Were you in Europe? How did you play these before ?
@@KentKaliber Yes I was in ok. Ogre and Wizards were by a million miles the best expansions as brought new rules and new monsters.

I’ve got all of them (and the Orc Bard) from the crowdfund!
I volunteer to play on a remote screen xD
What? No complaints from people yet about how their wolf can open doors?
I KNOW RIGHT??!
hey man! The video title is misspelled, it's Against the Ogre HORDE (not Hoard) hehe, could you correct it for us traveling bards?
I’m up for Playing! Love HeroQuest
