Project HeroQuest: End of Stage 2. Mercenaries

Another step in the long run! In order not to loose too much sanity, I need to totally switch projects from time to time (Or work on overlapping projects so I don't get stuck doing just the very same thing for months!)

I had these pending for a long time. It has taken some time to find all the minis and enough weapons to make this work. But I finally managed to delve into all my boxes, some of them lost for years. I gathered the twelve Mercenaries...

Driven by my enthusiasm, I totally forgot to take pics of the WIP. My bad

 

These were all the weapons I was able to find:

 

More than enough, but I think I have some extra swords or crossbows and I'm short of halberds and shields

As you can see, they are enough to take some adventure!

 

Ooops. Extra blurry pic... :(

 

I also found this other mini from the Advanced HeroQuest:

But now he's the leader of this Company

I used that colour combination for no particular reason, I just found it nice for the minis. That livery has a lot of tradition within both the Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 universes (Talabecland province and the Howling Griffons Space Marines Chapter, respectively) and I believe it works good for these.

With the Mercenaries I can declare closed Stage 2 of my HeroQuest project. I have re-painted all the original minis from the core game and expansions. At some point in the future I'll think of having a look at other companies' ranges; there are some really sweet options out there, in a perfect old school style. Some of them will become part of my HeroQuest. But that will be an issue for another day...
