Yeah, that's a great price. Not wasted if you consider that you will need them for Kellar's Keep. And can afford to wait a while before needing that set completed.

Now try to find dice. :skull: :whiteshield: :blackshield: :skull: :whiteshield: :blackshield: or the gargoyle or chaos sorcerer or the heroes. :( to proxy these guys will not be cheap either and the value of a complete set should become clear as you add everything up.

I bought extra dice and a second set of wizard cards... I realized too late that I should have just bought any 95% complete set instead!

Happy hunting

While looking through the auctions today I noticed the lack of dice on there. I guess those are rare!

I'm also keeping any eye out for a half or more completed set as I'm happy to add to it and build the set back up. :orc: :skull: :roll6:

Just another quick question!

The HQ PDF manual says there are 12 Chaos cards in total - http://www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/HeroQuest.PDF but most sites say there's only 11? Is there an extra card somewhere?

Thanks

I believe it is in fact 12.

The list per the NA info page here at the inn includes:

Ball of Flame
Cloud of Chaos
Command
Escape
Fear
Firestorm
Lightning Bolt
Rust
Sleep
Summon Orcs
Summon Undead
Tempest

It's been so long since I have had my cards, can anyone confirm this?

I was wondering how far along Flamecrest has gotten in rebuilding his set. Since the rare combat dice were brought up, it bears mentioning that dice from Hasbro's previously produced Battle Masters, Heroscape Master Set: Rise of the Valkyrie, Heroscape Master Set: Swarm of the Marro, Heroscape Marvel: The Conflict Begins, Heroscape Master Set: Battle for the Underdark, or the currently produced Magic the Gathering: Arena of the Planeswalkers and. Magic: The Gathering – Arena of the Planeswalkers: Shadows over Innistrad games all contain a set of six combat dice suitable as Hero Quest proxies.
