I play HeroQuest. Never played OldHammer (Warhammer). I actually like those sculpts. They look "HeroQuest" to me.

For the first sculpts, Id agree that picking 2-3 from the most common base quest set would be a smart move. More people would have a use for these base game sculpts. We can explore the expansion models in another batch later?

I'll set up a poll. Options for the initial sculpts of:

Sir Ragnar (wounded/ captured)
Ulag the Orc Warlord
Grak Orc Warlord
Wardoz, Zombie Wizard
Balur, Fire Mage
The Witch Lord

Any more poll options needed?

I still think a female barbarian should be on the list.

Do have this lass coming out soon (with some minotaurs for beauty and the beast! )

Ulag and Grak could be represented by the same mini. One "Orc Boss" should be good.

I've seen that one before. That's a Morcar/Zargon mini, right? Do you know who made it and if it's available anywhere?

I read somewhere From Daedalus that Geoff Sims made it.
He's got a site and maybe still takes commissions.
I'll link you to the discussion.

For example, SIR RAGNAR! We need a model of this guy, captured version and released version!

Suggestions welcomed on what to create!

Both Ragnar's would be awesome, but if there is a limited number I'd think one version of a haggard Sir Ragnar would do the job for the base game. Of the other suggestions, I like a single figure for an Orc boss and the Witch Lord--they both see multiple Quest use.

There is a suggestion I'd put ahead of all others, however. Mention of a female Barbarian and Dwarf have been made, but I'd think Oldhammer female versions of all four Heroes would be most useful. Female Heroes would not only serve female (and male) players well throughout the entirety of the base game, but they'd also retain their usefulness beyond into all later expansions. The original female Barbarian, female Elf, and concept art for the female Wizard (see the link below) even provide a starting point.
[Oh yeah . . . I just saw the Beauty and the Beast topic and recalled you've already created the four female Heroes. Maybe Oldhammer versions aren't so needed, though it would still be nice if they got added in some day. -edit]

Wouldn't it be a HeroQuest miracle if Mr. Naismith said "Yeah, I actually have some old concept drawings from Game Workshop or Milton Bradley laying around somewhere". Dear Lord the hysteria.

Toco has previously posted stuff at his blog about concept art he found for the unreleased Wizard's and Dwarf Quest Packs. It was headed up by the US branch of Milton Bradley, so it wouldn't be likely a UK-based sculptor across the pond like Mr. Naismith would have been involved.

4-ups (enlarged versions of the figures) for the unreleased DQP and WQP were in fact made and lie under the protection of some very fortunate Heroscapers. Toco opened this thread at Old Scratch's Heroquest Forum and got some interesting verifications from Skyknight.
