Great expansion, the only downside is the insert that holds the figures is very tight and will probably rub the paint off them or maybe weaken them over time, shame the insert isn’t of the same quality as the main games one.
his is prior to playing the quests, though after reading
first up, orange models: why? I had been asking this and not seen a clear answer, one of the quests has monsters powered by a fire spell, thats about it, its all monsters in that quest, and its not in any other so there is no confusion if you paint them. its a nice touch though as you will have enough at this point not to need them.
models generally: nice, and different sculpts for common monsters, which is very welcome and the plastic will be able to be painted if you paint others so they match and provide some interesting alternatives
Warlock: a curious addition to the heros stable, a sort of mic between the wizard, though with only a limited range of spells, and a lesser fighter character, though a fighter can equip to be better. Shes a curious one, powerful out of the box with what amounts to a weaker crossbow in the wand – pity this cannot also be bought for the wizard really, or his staff powered up the same way. shes has a spell to turn into a monster, which you also get a model for (but don’t really need, its nice its included though).
the quest adventure looks really good, very much a single story in many parts with a nice narrative through it and a sense of gradual dread building
so why not five stars?
well it feels like there are a few things missing, simple bits that could and really should be here, that would not have added much cost but seem to be curious omissions.
firstly you get a set of translucent orange combat dice, these are nice and very welcome, but are missing a matching pair of normal d6 for movement so they become an incomplete set which is a shame, will have to try and find some suitable orange D6 to match.
secondly there is no sheet of card tiles and markers, this feels especially bad as there are a couple of rooms here crying out for a mapboard overlay to avoid having to “ignore walls” as rooms are combined.
as a plus though, for those who like such things, the box itself is really nice
