Did these versions of the Heroquest figures ever make it to sale? or where they just prototypes?

they might give you ideas

Them thighs on the barb look weak sauce I think thantos' sculpt is way better get your eyes checked :gargoyle:

at least thantos is more original anyone could regergatate a old hq to look like them. The elf is the only one I found mildly amusing. :2cents:

I have a feeling mako-heart was thinking of your Hasslefree Wolf mod with the head from a Space Wolves pack.

That elf has a gleam in his eye like he's going the probing this time. Those minis all seem pretty clunky and awkward in design.

Are you talking about the minis in the image below? Because to me those just seem 'wrong' somehow. I'm not even going to comment on the kind in the picture.

Ampersand sculpts, I cast

I also prefer the prototype minis there, some dynamism and detail was lost when they were changed for injection moulding plastics. Would love to get my hands on that warlock... hmmm

I agree. Tha chaos warrior might be less impressing than the final version, but all in all, the prototypes have natural poses, not the bodybuilding muscle-flexing, awkward-angle poses we're accustomed to. E.g. orc and goblin. And elf. And practically all others.
