Love this game! My solution for the door tactic is simply to let players and monsters do a push roleoff based on strength and then be able to push characters away and pile into the room.
Love it! I see what you mean about using printable sticky sheets! Much easier! Going to adopt that idea :D My solution for the door jam combat is to use the Warhammer Quest method of not setting up the models until the heroes are in the room. Worked wonders in the campaign we started before the world went weird.
Great idea!!
i'm old school as well.. nothing like having a book
What's a PDF.....is it some kind of parchment??? Is it a book with invisibility cast on it??? If I can't hold it in my hand, it does not exist.
May interest to know that there is a mod for Tabletop Simulator on Steam that recreates Advanced Heroquest. A much cheaper and easier to obtain option for those unable to get hold of the real thing or easily recreate it.
HeroQuest was pretty damn cool. None of my buddies would get into D&D but they would play HeroQuest. My mom threw mine away when we moved to another state and it broke my heart. I had hand painted all of the figures too. Great video btw.
you painted all the minis and she threw it away??? OMG, my heart just broke!
@@captcorajus Yep! Each one was different too. Took me all summer to finally get em done.
Great video! I was also thinking of printing out my own dungeon tiles but then your video reminded me that... frustrating programs either don't have those options anymore or they keep changing them or they don't work properly even if they do have them. It used to be so easy when those settings were in the printer options. It's amazing that these companies have actually made their programs harder to use than easier.
Had a lot of fun with this. It really revitalized our “DnD” experience.
I never realized that GW expected players to have Hero Quest to play this, but that makes a lot of sense. A friend had AHQ when we were in school and we struggled with only having Skaven minis. Having HQ would have made it a lot more fun!
Did you ever play Dark Tower back in the day? (1980, 81?) I think Orson Welles did a commercial for it. I loved that thing, even though it needed to be rebooted a lot.
Did I play Dark Tower back in the day? Of course I did. In fact, I built a Hirst Arts Tower for my old android phone so I could play it again. See my video on the topic here:

Bryan Boyle Now you mention it, that probably predates Fighting Fantasy as my first fantasy game prior to D&D in 84/5... I’d not considered that. It was quite a mind blower back then for me.
Actually found a flash version online. Pretty fun. Damn brigands. And that Dragon noise!
@@udasu man I found that flash game several years ago, played it n loved it but didn't book mark the page n never could find the dang thing again. I poored through google but kept coming up with sites that were bogus or the game wouldn't load/ crashed instantly. It was a cool experience though and I end up beating it my 2nd play through
I scanned all mine. Printed on card stock then laminated them. Thin light weight & durable. I also laminated all the cards. I found replacement plastic dice w/laser print as well.
Thanks for the nostalgia. I had many adventures on those tiles in my childhood! My box definitely came with figures, though.
I didn't mean to imply it didn't come with any. It came with Skavan, some adventurers and henchemen. But to play the adventures included you had to go out and buy a lot more minis, or at least have the heroquest set.
Whereas the original Heroquest came with everything you needed to play in the box. This upset quite a few people back in the day.
I'd be a minor miracle if I could figure out how to scale and print the tiles. Good thing I still have my old copy.
Nothing like finding something like the Hammer of Sigmar then losing it on the trip back to town from an random event.
Nice door and stuff from Litko.
another awesome video! thank you!
I remember this! I wasn’t happy either but luckily I had miniatures from 1st game. Outstanding video! 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
Yikes! The Barbarian and Dwarf are ninja-ing the treasure while the Elf does all the fighting.
The term ninjaing did not exist at this time. You were called a thief for stealing the treasure.
I've been making my own version of Advanced Heroquest for solo and group play. I've replaced nearly all the cardboard tiles with resin 3D printed tiles. And they look magnificent.
I got the original at KayBee for $10! I only played it with the supplied rules a few times; mostly I got it for the big box of Games Workshop minis!😎
I swear after commenting on your last Hero Quest video, the youtube algorithm decided to spit allll the Hero Quest videos at me... which is to say, I bet I can craft a game out of Reaper Bones minis, foam board, and card stock! After seeing HO/railroad scale Talisman boards, Hero Quest is so doable.
More down the rabbit hole videos, please! 😀
This just might be a new video series topic: "Down the rabbit hole with...."
This is really great. I do need to learn more about quality printing for tabletop gaming.
Looking forward to Orcs of Thar! That's such a fun read.
Hail the Heroes! Avenge the king, avenge King Halav!
Cool stuff. I remember having Hero Quest when I was little, and was confused about the game board, so I never played it heh.
Nice review. I forgot about the enhanced rulebook. I recently played a game using Fat Dragon dungeon tiles that I 3d printed.
Wanted to say I am enjoyng your videos, I watch but never comment. I aim to fix that.
Please do! Great to know that you like them! Thanks a lot!!
You can use a dry eraser on the laminated pages so you can use them over and over.
You need some 10mm fantasy figures, 8x1mm disc magnets for bases, 10mm Hex paper, and Fantasy Trip Rules.
N Scale Model Railroad is just about a perfect match for 10mm Fantasy Miniatures. This opens up a lot of more affordable terrain options.
Very nice. I see pieces from Mage Knight, I use those too - I love dungeon dressing. So I must know, where did you get that statue at 14:21? I don't recognize it. Very cool!
That is a Hirst Arts plaster mold piece. :)
@@captcorajus I assume you mean Hirst Arts. I don't see any statues on their website!
@@grishnakh303 You're right. I can't seem to find it now either, but I've had that statue for a decade or so, so my memory could be fuzzy. It is made from a plaster mold, though. Not sure which one now. Sorry.
could you share the tiles?? the ones from regular hero quest and warhammer quest? I own both but don't have the time or know how to convert and make my own. do you have them on your Patreon? Page?
Seems that Heroquest and Advanced Heroquest is on a lot of people's minds during this season. I just started construction on a Heroquest 3D reconstruction.
Nice!!
advanced HQ can be picked up in UK for a fairly sensible price - £120 - £150 ish.......however terror in the dark goes for more like £400!!! I realy do want these.......hmmmm
Kewl project I dot to try chip board more often
I cannot find these tiles anywhere could you please set a link to a PDF of all the stuff that you have I'm trying to find me advanced heroquest tiles that look like the original hero Quest board I can't find them and I do not know how to use Photoshop
You could always try an AI upscaling service like Waifu2x to up the quality of low resolution scans.
Most of these covers seem vaguely familiar from what must have been casual strolls through board game sections when I was 6-10. Maybe I'm just fooling myself, it's hard to tell in such cases. I couldn't even imagine pen & paper "roleplaying games" back then, by the way, I was only there for normal board games.
Chipboard = lurk around entry level art drawing classes at your local college. Chipboard appears in the trash near the end of the semester.
I'm 54 years old. I might get arrested for being a creeper or something! lol
@@captcorajus I am 40. I feel that way just being in class.
I wish I had the Heroquest miniatures. :(
They've just got so much personality.
They’re easier to get than most old GW models
And really fun to paint
Wouldn't it have been better to get vinyl labels? They'd last pretty much forever that way
Just laminate the sheets printed out on common printer paper. You can cut them to size so that they fit together. Think smart.
Advanced HeroQuest is awesome, I've ran games of D&D where we just ran through random dungeons the AHQ dungeon generation tables would create trying to escape with as much gold as possible. If you're looking for other solo games to keep yourself sane, check out "4 Against Darkness" and "Ruins of the Undercity"
Awesome! Thanks! Will do!
DARK TOWER had the most gorgeous art, I loved it as a child and it haunted me to the point I became an artist... the artist who made the illustrations had done beautiful work, the name escapes me this second but he has been documented by his family for posterity.
The statement about it assuming that the players already own HeroQuest is patently false:
"If you own a copy of MB's Heroquest game, the following rules tell you how to use the Heroquest components in Advanced Heroquest. These rules are optional, and all players must agree the rules will be used before the game starts." rulebook page 45
Pertinent words being "if" and "optional"
No sorry. The game comes with only SKAVEN and the heroes minitures.
No orcs, no mummies, no skeletons. Sorry brother, but if you did't already own hero quest, you must then purchase a BUNCH of miniatures to make full use of the game.
@@captcorajus That point is technically correct, as with several games at the time you (Bloodbowl, Space Hulk) you were expected to use identical models with different colour bases to distinguish between say a Skaven Sentry or Plague Monk or Sorceror - but you wouldn't get those from HeroQuest. Even the HeroQuest section itself only went so far as saying you could add a maze level to dungeon using the HeroQuest board and monsters - and even the latter was an option, with the default being to use the standard (all skaven) wandering monster chart. At no point did the core campaign ever require the player to have access to HeroQuest. Also note that although the monster section did include the monsters that were in HeroQuest it didn't use HeroQuest models for them, but the regular GW metals - and the 'Alternative Monsters' section directed players to check out Citadel Miniatures and White Dwarf magazine no suggestion of tracking down a copy of HeroQuest.
That fact that the game did not come with the miniatures needed to play the game was one of the key elements of its failure, despite it being a pretty great game. Certainly GW's expectation was that the purchaser would get miniatures elsewhere, and logically, where else would someone purchasing ADVANCED Heroquest get their miniatures than from Heroquest?? :)
Also, the fact that statement was INSIDE the box meant that buyers couldn’t know they needed the original game before they bought it. They could only discover that news after the fact, and after wading through 44 pages of material.
Talk about a lot of disappointed kids on Christmas morning...
@3:20 d12's? UNSUBSCRIBED
Wow, but d12's are so cool! I love them! :P
@@captcorajus He's just unsubscribing because of PTSD caused by stepping on D4s at night. We've all gone through that.
@@angrytheclown801 Yes, completely understandable.
advanced Hreroquest is a very good game, but rolling thousand dices and look at tables for everythings is a bit boring after 30 mn gaming but the universe based on warhammer world and rôle playing game is fantastic. Warhammer quest from 95 got horrible drawings and box art.
I'm combinging Advanced hero quest with the dungeon tile 'card' system from Warhammer quest. lol
They totally missed the appeal of the original with this travesty. We never bothered with it, thankfully.
I like the d12 system as you can tell. Combine with the Heroquest box and whatever kitchen sink thing you want. lol
Do you have .STL models? I use TTS.
