3D Heroquest Boards

[zstu1979]

30mm squares are a great improvement over the standard 22.5mm squares but you may only get away with a 2.5D board with 30mm squares. The reason I say this is I have 38mm (1.5 inch) squares and the miniatures are still quite tight in the central corridors with the taller walls so some minis like the chaos warrior need to stand at a 45 degree angle which isn't all that bad but the gargoyle mini definitely needs to stand side on. Having a 2.5D board would mean that you could face the minis in combat with parts of the figures overhanging the walls if you know what I mean.

Have a think on it and let me know if you still want the 30mm squares.

I'd be happy with 2.5d walls. Yeah if I'm gonna do it, the bigger the better. 30mm it is!

[Maldeev1911]

Looks great! I'm looking to do something similar,
if it turns out half as good as yours I'll be thrilled.

[Figomurphy]

That looks absolutely brilliant. So neat. Well done.

Thanks Maldeev1911, Figomurphy. Was thinking on doing a board based on the advanced heroquest tiles but going to wait until I finish off the original quest book which I am currently battling through.

Yes please to the 30mm files if possible?

Hi Khimbar

It doesn't seem to have come through?

Looks amazing! Wondered how you handled the doors until I got to the pics that included them. Very cool. You mentioned the tight corridors--what about visibility issues?

[zstu1979]

I would say that having 40mm high walls does cause a bit of a visibility issue if you were sitting low at a table but As I play mostly solo with the HQGM app I find myself standing most of the time so it’s not really an issue for me. I prefer the taller walls as it gives a more ‘closed in’ Dungeon feeling. I chose 40mm high walls so that my doors would sit directly over the top but you could go with 30mm high walls And craft the doors slightly different and that would give you better visibility over the walls.
