Flashback- Heroquest Board Game

By Rob Baer | September 28th, 2013 | Categories: 40k Flashback, Warhammer 40k Articles & News

Welcome to 40k Flashback, where I dig deep for something cool that I have from back in the day.  Which according to the comic Dane Cook was a Wednesday…

You always hear the question: “How did you get into the hobby?”, and for me it was getting bored with assembling fighter jet models.

I could never afford the good jet kits either, lol. Plus those things had a ton of components, we’re spoiled by Games Workshop when it comes to piece count, believe me.

I’m sure a lot of you have fond memories of this game as well, but what you may not know was that the miniatures inside, like Space Crusade from last week, again were supplied by Games Workshop/ Citadel Miniatures.

Checkout the styling on these guys, it practically screams Citadel mini, right?

I guess the idea behind the set was to be like the mainstream Dungeons and Dragons in a board game form. I don’t remember what store I bought it at, as Wal Mart was still expanding out form the central US and hadn’t started it’s domination of the retail scene yet, but it was at a department store for sure.

Regardless an awesome game at what seemed to be just the right time! -MBG
