I’m sorry I’m lazy, you may have done this already but the 2nd edition blood bowl is a game you should take a look at if you want a retro game to mess around with.
Haslab is supposed to release a new version of this game (though from what I've seen it is mostly just upgraded minis and art work...... maybe some upgraded rules). But they also said they would be releasing some expansions that never got released back in the 90s plus new ones at later dates.
THE BEST THING ABOUT HEROQUEST IS THIS CRACKING CAMEO
😆
THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS CRACKING CAMEO IS HEROQUEST!! HEROQUEST IS THE BEST THING, AND ANYTHING ELSE IS THE NAIVE CONJECTURE OF PHILISTINEABLE FOOLIGANS!!
Damn straight it is 💪🏻😊❤️
THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS VIDEO IS THIS COMMENT!
@@professorbrix Look at the MUSCULARITY
Look at the Muscularity!!!
Broadswoard!
dang it brent, I was going to say that. Also really love your vids keep up the great work and positivity
Looks like these Heroes never skip a day of working out. Heck I think may have doubled up on leg days and arm days!
You hero, Brent :-D
*Brent's bicep in every goober intro*
The only thing better than Heroquest - is MORE HEROQUEST! and you even got the Bard in it :D
Legendary UA-cam Video!!!!🤩🤩🤩
He literally did buy two, as directed by the Bard. nice
You need three for Tower O' Peril or Gravity Land though.
I own two copies
Ah, I see high culture has finally
made Its way to the Internet.
Another cracking unboxing of HEROQUEST!
Glad to see Bardic, the absolute legend.
"Right...now that the peasantry are gone, the best thing about Hero Quest is the Dwarf."
THE BEST THING ABOUT HEROQUEST IS THE DWARF
BRAWD SWARD
@@SatomiForward BRODE SODE!
BROUWD SORWD!!!
Hell yeah, I played the dwarf.
Forget about the Barbarian, he is for beginners only!
Could this be the best cameo? Yes, I think so. It's great to see some looks back into the past, without talking down on the quality of the old products, and just being excited about things we loved, or didnt get the chance to experiance before.
The best thing about this video is that it is good for anyone with back, neck and face problems
The best thing about a new Squidmar video is the high-quality, enjoyable content. Now with more bearded bards!
Damn, a lot of nostalgic stuff in this episode. Pirates of the Dark Water, heck yeah!
I got HeroQuest for Christmas when I was a kid. I never played the actual game (as no one would play it with me ffs) but I spent hours and hours imagining my own rules and adventures.
Same story for me! 30yrs later, I finally talked my girlfriend into trying it and it was actually fun :-)
@@georgekaiser class!
Same. I had loads of board games and no one to play with. :/
Me too finally had 2 friends to play with one afternoon. That was it. I decided to paint the whole box .... with posterpaints!!!! Burried in the attic for 25 years .finally brought it out when my kids were about 9-10 ... 30 years later they still hold up !!!!
The Best thing about Heroquest is that I still own it!!!
Yes! This game is still one of my childhood treasures and I've only recently started to paint the miniatures after having played blank ones for over 25 years.
The Bard! Wish he'd upload more, love the cameo!
I am so happy that miniature-related hobbies have such an awesome family of youtubers. Squidmar, Miniac, Goobertown and Midwinter Minis are my Chaos Undivided
Oh wow! This is where it all started for me aged 12. Happy happy memories. Wonderful nostalgia, thank you Emil! And now featuring BardicBroadcasts, that is guy is the best, miss his videos!
The greatest of all cameos!
I think it's high time for a proper rerelease of this game keeping a similar simple aesthetic and accessibility for the kids and all the parents to enjoy together. Up vote to #bringbackheroquest !
Ok... So I should have specified that availability should not limited to only the US and Canada (except Quebec)
#bringbackheroquestforthewholeplanet
Yes! Maybe big warhammer youtubers should push this! I would 100% buy one straight away!
There was a 25th anniversary revival project at www.heroquestclassic.com/en/ but it doesn't seem like they've been active for a while. It's a shame because I was really looking forward to it. :(
@@ren_bee I backed that...all of 6 years ago! A lot of people have written it off as a no show, some day it might show up on my doorstep but Im not holding my breath.
There has been whispers and rumours of a rerelease, but there always is :D
Its not a GW controlled license so GW won't remake it and they'll sue anyone who does. So its going to remain dead.
@@ren_bee Licensing issues i believe it was.
"Loads of enamel paint and gloss varnish!"
I feel...struck...
This is absolutely AMAZING!
I loved playing Hero Quest when I was a kid. We sadly never finished it cause my brother lost interest in playing after a few days . So every few months we just started from the beginning each time.
My father was always the dungeon master. I played the Barbarian and either Alf or the Wizard (we always played 2 chars at once) and my brother always took the Dwarf and then either Alf or Wizard as well obviously. And my mother loved painting the figurines for it. He still has the game laying arround somewhere so maybe I will finish it someday with my kids. That would be great.
Love this game, major part of my childhood with my brother. I have my original set plus some expansions, and also found a mint copy in a opshop... so very happy.
Cool video and I love that you got BardicBroadcasts to cameo as well.
Yep this was my gateway game. I got for Christmas of 89.
Always love to see, those memories getting reanimated in what ever kind of way.
I grew up with board games like hero quest and star quest. To see those miniatures painted on such a high level is quite awesome.
As a kid, I neither have the skill or the money/stuff to paint em all.
So I really love to see if you could paint at least one of every kind?!
You did a great job on the first few btw.
Keep it up!
Fun fact: in Brazil, the game came without the minis.
The characters was printed in a better paper and put in a base to make them stand.
Is as crappy as it sounds.
Always awesome to see collaborations... you got the bard in here. Love that guy! Nothing will ever top the nostalgia for Heroquest, even though better versions of it have come out since. (Descent 1st edition is my all time favorite?
This is so great! I hope you're able to finish the whole set and you daughters enjoy the game as much as you!
Brilliant video! I have not thought of HeroQuest for decades. This brings back memories from when I was a kid playing it with friends. Now I'm getting all nostalgic.
Great work as always, love your channel!
I actually still have this game, with the expansion sets, and recently started playing it with my kids. The figures were the first ones that I had ever painted.
Whenever I paint my marines, my kids paint some of the remaining Hero Quest models. It’s a family affair!
Riktigt snyggt! Ser fram emot fortsättningen
So pleased you made this vid - I hope you and your girls enjoy HQ as much as I did as a kid... much love
Great vid. You’re a cool dad getting your kids Heroquest and then painting the minis so awesomely. My son is nearly 4 and number 2 is on the way soon. Thankfully my original copy of HQ is in my attic waiting for them to be old enough to play it 😀
Watching you paint these minis reminds me of the fun I had painting Tehnolog minis from Russia. I would buy those minis in bulk to practice in my early painting days but I just loved the cartoonish look!
One of my all time favorites.
Your showing the Milton Bradley edition.
GW had “Advanced Hero quest” prior to that. The floor/board was modular like dungeon tiles. That was our go to game back in the day.
Yah baby!
Thank you for sharing.
The best thing about Heroquest is the GARGOYLE! Great video! I love how well you painted those heroes and the test skeleton!! I did play this game back in the early 90s and actually have the base set and the first two expansions with it. Always lots of fun. Havmt played it in years but I have been inspired to now break it out and paint the miniatures! I hope your daughters will enjoy playing with you as much as you are eager to play with them!! Its a good intro to D&D really since you have a games master running it. Personally, I moved over to Warhammer Quest which I liked a little more because you played against the game instead of needing a games master. But they are both great games.
Right on Emil. So pumped to see this video, and your take on painting these tiny pieces of gold up. I love playing this game with my kids. Enjoy!
I LOVED messing around with the miniatures when I was a kid, though my father got furious whenever I took it. It was simply too awesome.
A good friend recently gifted me this plus 2 of the smaller expansion packs, the timing of this video perfect to inspire me to paint them. Thank you for posting this video.
This was a bittersweet video for me. My older brother had this game when I was little. He was never into mini's or war games, so the game sat on the shelf. I would occasionally get into the game and play with the pieces. Over time the pieces of the game got destroyed form me playing with them. When I was 12 I discovered Warhammer and got into the hobby. As an adult I learned more about Hero Quest and really got a good understanding of what I destroyed. I have never been able to play this game and I probably never will now. SO thank you for this video, it hurts but at the same time I am so happy to see that people still remember this game and someone gets to enjoy it.
I wish Bard was a regular uploader he's genuinely got a talent for comedy. He could have been a really big channel.
Heroquest was my first step into both the Miniature Wargame and RPG hobbies in 1989 when I was 8 years old! loved it so much as a child, but lost and/or broke components as I was growing up.
A couple of years back I was awfully lucky and managed to get a complete set of the Heroquest: Advanced Quest box that had the core game and several expansions plus extra miniatures included. I keep meaning to sit down and get them painted up, maybe to get my own kids to give it a try too.
Looking forward to seeing you complete these and loved the cameo from The Bard :D
Take care :)
I saw the thumbnail and I jumped for joy. I grew up with this game. Even tried painting the models (and made a horrible mess of it). Its what started me down the road of getting in to DnD and other tabletop games.
Edit: "The correct way: with enamel paints and gloss varnish!" Oh god that killed me. Right in the nostalgia where the only paints that existed in my area were Testors and hobby paints.
Love this! I am looking forward to seeing all of it painted! Or maybe even a LP with the kids for the first scenario or so? With their own painted minis? :D
Came to say I love your channel. I bought Heroquest last week (for ridiculously expensive) and ended up here. Would love to see you paint Heroquest the minions. I've been browsing your tutorials and want to thank you for the tips and tricks I've learned. Keep up the good work!
Great video added bonus for getting Bardic Broadcasts involved. I was lucky enough that a friend has this game growing up. This was my introduction to tabletop RPG.
Great vid, a blast from my past, just dug mine out of the attic, and advanced heroquest. Both are a tad dusty, you have inspired me to give mine a paint job.
Too much nostalgia. Like so many people around my age, getting this box at Christmas set me off on the hobby path. Still remember seeing the minis for the first time.Give me a bloody time machine now!
Hero Quest had a massive impact on me as a kid and got me into Warhammer and fantasy in general. This video hit home and really made me reflect on how awesome this HQ truly is. I'm definitely going to pull out my game and paint the models. Thanks!
Painted miniatures look amazing. Outstanding job. Mine are still as I painted them when my parents bought me the game thirty years ago (they were my first miniatures). Maybe one day I will give them a second try.
Nice video!
For anyone who hasn't heard, Hasbro (Avalon Hill) is crowdfunding a new edition of HeroQuest along with its expansions. 10 days left before the funding deadline closes. The deadline to get in on pre-order exclusives is Nov 6, 2020.
Heroquest is THE best game of all time!! I had it when I was young and I kept it all the time! I was lucky enough to find an unpunched version of the game and your video make me wanting to painting all the set to play with my kid too!!
Thank for this video, I didn't cry you did!
I got this game under the christmas tree in 1989, I was 7 years old and it was the most wonderful christmas present I ever had. I still own hero quest with all four expansions available in europe. I love it and have so much wonderful memories with this game. It is THIS game which made me the nerddad I am today. Have fun with your kids playing it, my kids rly enjoyed it. It's so great!
I just started painting my old set that I've had since 89. Really wanna see you paint em all Squidmar, furniture and figures. So please do one or more episodes of that mate. I'm a beginner and could use all the tips I can get from someone good like you. Tack för alla grymma videor som hjälpt mig än så länge I mitt målande.
One of my favorite games growing up!
Man this really takes me back I gotta find a copy Love This Game !
Please make more Heroquest video's! I love these!
Still have my set from 1989 played it with my kids when they were young it’s a gateway into a D&D
I can't hit the like button enough on this. I owned a copy of this game when it came out. Got it as a Christmas gift the year it came out. I have a double set and one of the modules now. There are ways to get downloads of the expensive modules free and be able to play them.
I had the chance to play this wonderfull game when I was a kid, with a couple of friends. As a brazilian kid with no real chances to play these kinds of games, I felt lucky and enjoyed like crazy those days. Now, I can't afford to buy a used one in here, because they are crazy expensive and most of the times, incomplete, so I'm 3D printing mine! I have 35 years, have played A LOT of board games since then, but HeroQuest still has it's special place in my heart!
Love it! Funnily enough dug out mine the other day too, I’ve got the “advanced” heroquest too which is equally great!
I had the biggest smile while watching this. This was my first intro to mini gaming and legacy style board games.
I had Hero Quest when it came out originally - sadly I don't have it anymore. I loved it! I hope your kids dig it. Love the paintjob!
Please do a painting tutorial for some of the Heroquest minis !!! We know that you love orks for instance ;-)
This is awesome. Ive painting my copy but it’s been taking me quite sometime. I was going to paint and sell it but now you have me seconding guessing that. I also have hero quest advanced :)
Best collab ever.
Hi I want to see you playing it with your daughters!! Very nice painting as always,thx Emil for making such great videos
Great game my dad got us the game in NYC when visiting my grandmother. We played the game for years all together with all the expansions. Got me into painting and we even molded minis ourselves using the figures.
Funny Story. My father is a big fan of Hero Quest and even created hours of own Campaigns. At a young age, maybe 6 or 7, i got in touch with Warhammer. And it was this masterpiece, that brought me into this hobby. Thank you for showing this masterpiece to the younger ones
Yes! As a father of 5 daughters, the youngest is 3, Heroquest is loved in my house. I too never play it in my younger days And I am now enjoying the rewards of Playing it for the 1st time with my own children. Game on!
Godspeed to you! I have 3 sons and plan to play this with them when they are a little older!
Oh my gosh - you got Bardic Broadcasts on! It seriously made my day to see him show up!
I still have a German copy, once the offspring is old enough, indoctrination can begin...🤓
The bard! Gah, I miss his videos - glad you managed to get him for a cameo:)
I was thinking before I even clicked this video about BardicBroadcasts - that intro was a real treat.
I'm actually in the middle of (finally) painting up my old Hero Quest set that I got for Christmas 30 years ago, so this was a ton of fun to watch :-)
I would love to see how you paint them, I love the over done style on such simple minis, makes them look like the art!
Superb video! I approve of roping the Bard into from his reclusive lair. Absolutely hilarious because me and my friends are playing Heroquest online together. Thanks for sharing the leads on the female miniatures too!
I love the mummy. Great work. I've been fancying digging one out on eBay and doing one myself, actually. 😊
This is nostalgia! Damn I liked playing that... Memory lane active 🤣
The best thing about Heroquest is finding out it has a Swedish version! (And Bardic Cameos!)
I had this game as an 80s child. Unfortunately I never had anyone to play it with and just enjoyed painting the figures. It got stored in my parents loft and when I moved out it must of gotten thrown out when they cleaned. I have to say I love watching your videos as a father myself and it takes me back to my love of Warhammer Fantasy, I just wish I had friends who were into it instead of me losing interest. You are very inspiring, keep up the videos please.
I'm 47 and still have my hero quest and all the expansions from back in the 80's. My son, daughter and wife still pull it out and play a few games now and then. The best thing about hero quest is..... playing this old fantastic game with your family.
No way ive got so shocken !! My parents also have that box here and me as a child loved it so much and found it facinating, also the game was really fun to play !
Such a pure video. Simply lovely. Subing
I love this game! Played this and Heroscape quite a lot in my teen years!
I love this game and I search for this game to show my Sun this game like you. You are so lucky. 😊
Just bought one very cheap in a flea market, and here you are
Great video. Felt very wholesome.
Best crossover ever
got this for my son back then still have it also expansion sets we painted it and still play it great game
You know you have arrived to greatness when The Bard graces your video with an appearance. Well done, sir, well done.
i had this, i played it with a friend that sadly died, i had some extension packs too, but i never had the heart to ask for it back from his mother and father, to see folk enjoy this game today is great, it creates memories that are priceless, its the game that got me, eventually, into gaming
Nice Video, lucky you found versions available. I have two daughters, not even in school yet, but interessted in boardgames. We started with Andor junior and Aftermath, tiny critters are fine :)
But I am looking forward to play more complex games with them. I have frinds with copies of HeroQuest.
The best thing about heroquest is that you're now reading this in The Bard's voice!
Truly the best voice to laud praise upon one of the greatest games to ever be boxed.
The best thing about heroquest is the entry level!
Many a lad (or lass) cut, their adventuring teeth, on this cracking adventure.
And well they should have, as it is the finest adventure in all the land!
I couldn't believe the title of the video when it came out ! I played Heroquest all the time with my father when I was a kid, and I've been looking for a complete copy for almost 20 years...
That’s more like it Emil. Upbeat and fun. Bravo.
So glad to see the cracking cameo. The guy is hilarious
What a fantastic crossover!!
I painted up the elf a while back. Turned out better than I thought it would. It's lots of fun to take old school or pre-slotta models and give them a modern style paint job. Some of then have a simple charm that's missing in a lot of current stuff. I would love to see a video where Emil paints up some really dodgy seventies lead.
