Warhammer Quest Miniatures |
Warhammer Quest is a game that was put out by Games Workshop in 1995. It was supposed to be a heavily miniatures-based role-playing game. The basic boxed set contained 10 plastic doorways, 4 plastic hero miniatures, 87(!) plastic monster miniatures, dice, cardboard floor tiles, cardboard counters, cards, character sheets, and rule books. Games Workshop released numerous character expansion packs, each of which contained a brand-new metal miniature to represent the character. They also released 2 quest packs with new adventures, each of which contained several new metal miniatures to represent the main monsters. Support for the game was pulled in just a couple of years, but it's still one of my favorites, and my wife and I play it occasionally. |

Alternates, Conversions, and Specials |
Sometimes the minis that came with the game and its supplements just didn't do the trick. Occasionally, the official miniature didn't match my mental picture of the character. One character I play frequently never had an official miniature at all. Often my wife wanted to play a character as a female and needed a mini to match. We both wanted a greater variety of monsters to fight than the box sets provided. These special cases called for special miniatures. I dug up old, discontinued miniatures, bought current (at the time) figures from Games Workshop's Warhammer and Mordheim ranges, and bought minis from other companies--whatever worked. I then got to work converting and painting. The results, with notes (on the off chance that anybody cares), are at the link below. |
