Interesting ideas there Drew.
The mythology angle would make for a nice theme. The adventure could be set far away from the usual Heroquest Old World, much like the Elf and Barbarian packs were.

I think the Sabretooth wouldn’t have been in either of those two packs though, as it’s been confirmed to have been dropped from MOTM in favour of the giant wolves.

Also, we have to bear in mind that one of the 5 figures in each pack would probably have to be the boss (aka Sinestra, Frozen Horror). I’m thinking that the Stone Golem, and the Dragon would have been the bosses.

So I’m guessing;
Dwarf pack; female Dwarf Hero, Stone Golem boss, and Skaven, Chaos Dwarves & Rhino dogs as monsters.

Wizard pack; female Wizard Hero, Dragon boss, and Minotaurs, Spiders & Centaurs as monsters.

But I wouldn’t bet much money on myself being right...

Im pretty sure its a fact that the WQP would have lots of things from greek mythology, so thats where im basing everything.

There are no dragons in greek mythology, plus as I said before there is a dragon symbol in the female dwarf's shield, so im 100% sure the dragon would be on the DQP, even as the boss.

Minotaur has to be the boss, let me explain why. In greek mythology there was only 1 Minotaur, it was THE Minotaur, its not like its a species. Whereas there were lots of Centaurs or Spider based creatures. Also Minotaur is in one of the most popular greek myths, so im putting my bets he is the Boss.

As I said the dragon has to be on DQP, which means one of the other ones to be for the WQP. None matches the greek mythology theme though, maybe the rhino dogs or the stone golem? Idk to be honest, but skaven and dragon are too irrelevant, Rhino and Golem are more likely.

I like the idea that the dwarf with the hammer is a Chaos Dwarf by the way, nice guess, itd be cool if u got it right.

Were the quests/rules ever found and leaked? Would be really cool to see them.

The quests exist! Probably the rules, cards, and tiles do too. They haven’t been leaked though. But I now live in much greater hope than I did before that they will be one day.

I do not have a FB account. So I browsed all pictures there. oh, my Goddess, somehow I'm glad these expansions were never published. Some terrible sculpts. A few nice ones.

That Rhino! Ugly. That dragon/centipede. Serious?! ...

I had the same thought when I've seen them!

Man im pretty sure there are a few people that might even have a couple official unreleased complete expansions. The only problem is that they cant release them if they wanted.
The only thing they could do is "leak" them if they care enough for the fans of this game cause we all know for sure that they are never getting an official release.


Correct. Famous designer Richard Borg shared with me that he has written an official expansion for HeroQuest. But he could not share any details for obvious legal reasons.

Edit: It was an email from 2010. Just found it again. He literally said he had written the story for the Wizard expansion. And that it was never released. He later also wrote an expansion for D&D Boardgame that did get released: Forbidden Forest. (That expansion was not bad in my opinion.)

I've just read better what Rod wrote in one of his post and he confirmed in the comments that Sabertooth is from the Wizard Quest Pack, not an early concept for the EQP. He did a mistake on the post.
Also a female Wizard exists but he doesn't own her but sayd he knows who have the sculpt and is trying to get a photo.
He sayd the wife of an employer at Hasbro saw the Yet sculpt and asked to take it; so he is missing that piece from the Barabarian set and seems she also took another figure, I guess it may be the female Wizard.
He also sayd he has some writings and waiting for permissions to scan and share.

Rod Phelps wrote:...So far from the Wizard quest we confirmed the sketch provided by Toco (still looking to see if I can get photos of the fig), the sabretooth tiger, and the Skaven. I believe these are all part of the Wizard quest. If I can get the scans of those quests I will verify.
Couple disclaimers, one, if I get those quests I am not sure if I can share them. There are a few people to check with and it would take me some time. I enjoy sharing with the community and adding something new for you but at the same time I’m not looking to cause any issues for anyone.
Second, I know everyone keeps asking for 3-D prints. Same kind of scenario as the quests. While I do own these sculpts and I am not currently on an NDA, there are still folks I don’t want to stomp on. So for now these will have to do unless your in southern Florida someday and want to play a game or two ;)
Alright, into new business. It appears that each new expansion set that came out had five figures in it. So far we have seen three, that means two more are still waiting to be seen.
I’ll just show this one since it was guessed at earlier and also Toco found the drawing of it a few years back...


Talking about the Barbarian set and his missing Yeti:
Rod Phelps wrote:...Anyways, as was eluded to in an earlier post I also have this set. Glaringly obvious is the fact that the yeti is missing. Just before I got my hands on this one of the wives of the employees got him because it reminded her of the bumble on Rudolph. Is what it is...


Talking about unreleased quests:
Rod Phelps wrote:I see Toco talked to Richard. So yes, there are some quests drawn up. I know who has them, I’m not sure what his thoughts are on releasing them. Could be complicated.
I’ll ask.

I hope they leak out. The community around this game is fantastic! I bought a gameboard and screen and was able to print everything else needed for the game (including the miniatures). Just played for the first time with my kids yesterday and they loved it. Really REALLY hope this stuff comes out.

I'd love to see the quests and cards and tiles for the expansions. But having seen most of the figures now, as blasphemous as it sounds, I'm glad we didn't actually get them. That skaven is a monstrosity in the worst way. The minotaur is okay, I guess, and the evil dwarf is fine. But good god, that female dwarf is terrifying. I know that some of the EQP and BQP figures don't really match the style of the original, but these seem to veer so far from the old hammer style that it's almost a travesty. I'm far happier just using WHQ figures instead. At least those match.

But we could definitely make the quests, stories, and rules work if we could get a hold of those.
