Hunting the Unreleased Quests

[JCool]

And the response:

Justin regularly refers to HeroQuest as "his great white whale". That game in particular has a variety of people involved with it, so the legal holdups are generally just getting the sign off from everyone involved, and then finding anyone else that might pop up later.
And all of that before you even start working on the "Restoration".

So no plans--describing Hero Quest in terms of a nemesis isn't a good sign, to be sure. However, Ahab was obsessed with defeating that nemesis, so Justin (the full-time owner) still hasn't given up on the prize. Call me Ishmael.

It's good that the game is at least on their radar. Kinda nice too that they haven't cracked it yet, proves just how solid the original game is! That said, I'm sure we'd all like to see what the crew at Restoration Games could come up with. Who knows, maybe one day we'll catch that whale

I'm trying to remember my Melville. It all worked out alright for Ahab and his crew in the end, right?

Lol, Ishmael was the only survivor! Him and the whale, of course.

That guy from boardgamegeek that owns the unreleased expansion (Wizard/Dwarf Quest Pack) after long time of waiting has finally posted some photos of the unreleased stuff he has on the facebook group!
Link here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/officialheroquest
So they really seems to be some kind of demo stuff, in my opinion the qualtiy of the sculpts is not so good, they look more like children toys than miniatures.
There are a male and female dwarf (with hammer and with club) a skaven, a minotaur, a chinese dragon, a golem, a sabretooth, a giant spider and one strange figure looking like a small rhino-dragon.
The sabretooth is the only good figure for my tastes while all the others look a bit weird. But ayway they are unreleased official stuff so is a good thing they have been finally shown to the community.
I guess the sculptor stle in the 2 dwarfs is recognizable, he should be the same guy who sculpted the Frozen Horror figure. Just wondering if a female wizard also exists.
I'll ask if I can share all the images here too, but can't resist to post a few here right now...

That’s quite a find.
I can’t see this stuff at the link you posted though, which is awful because I’m itching to see these.

Because there are several posts on the group. Go to the "search" option of the group and type "Rod Phelps". You'll see all of his posts (but also other posts where he left a comment), but scrolling down you will easily recognize his images with the yellow miniatures.

Awesome, cheers

In one of his posts he sayd that each expansion is featuring 5 new sculpts, exactly like it was for Barbarian and Elf Quest Packs.
I guess the Wizards of Morcar could be included into a WQP too, like it was for the Ogres with the EQP and the Man-at-Arms in the BQP.
Till now he posted the following sculpts:
1. Sabretooth
2. Skaven
3. Dwarf (male)
4. Dwarf (female)
5. Minotaur
6. Golem
7. Rhino
8. Chinese Dragon
9. Giant Spider

So at least one more is missing. Or even two if both Dwarves are replacement figures for the original Dwarf Hero?
Seems the Sabretooth was an early model for the Giant Wolf, replaced at the end in the EQP. So in this case yet another model is missing.
And a female Wizard figure should also be there and not yet posted, except for the sketch...

I suppose there’s also the possibility of the male dwarf being one of the monsters, in a similar way to the Elven guys in MOTM.

damn this is so interesting. Its so amazing stuff get out after all these years. I like the idea that the male dwarf could actually be a monster. Also I dont think the guy has the female wizard figure. And based on Toco's research there is also a Centaur figure for the WQP. So based on the fact that each expansion would get 5 minis each id go:

Wizard Pack: Female Wizard, Minotaur, Spider, Centaur, Sabertooth

Dwarf Pack: Male/Female Dwarf, Rock Gollum, Dragon, Rhino, Skaven

The ones im certain of are Minotaur, Spider and Centaur go in the Wizard pack, cause it was based in greek mythology. Even though Skaven seems fitting with the others it has nothing to do with greek mythology so Ig they go to the Dwarf. Sabertooth seems more fitting. Im greek by the way so u can trust me on this.
Also Im pretty sure the Dragon goes to the Dwarf quest pack cause u can notice in the female dwarf figure that there is a dragon symbol on her shield.
The thing is there is a total of 11 figures considering this dude showed us 9 + female wizard + Centaur. Im not sure which one would be left out, my guess would either be Centaur since we have no figure of his, BUT he is 100% greek mythology material which makes him perfect for the WQP, or the male dwarf, who seems kinda unnecessary unless he is a villain.

Just throwing my two cents in
