Why I love my wife .....



There's many reasons I love my wife, but today she pulled a blinder. Some of you may remember about my xmas fail where my wife got me Heroquest from MB games on ebay not realising it was Advanced Heroquest that I was after.

For you younger hobbyists, Advanced Heroquest was a game produced by GW a long time ago. It's basically a mixture of Dungeons and Dragons, and Warhammer Fantasy Battle. It was so popular that MB games did a spin off simplified versions called Heroquest. Although, it was a long time ago, so it might have been MB games who did it first. I'm not sure, but I do know that I lost many hours of my youth to this game.

Well, this morning, she woke me from my duvet day comfort with a package. Yep, Advanced Heroquest. So, I am a very happy chappy. It's virtually brand new, so I think I've found the miniatures I'm going to be using for my miniature a month project.

Finally, didn't get any hobby stuff done tonight, it snowed here heavily for the first time in years, so as all big kids, I headed out with the son-in-law to be and we made this .......

I'm 99% sure Advanced came after, thus the advanced bit, though they did come out the same year (89). But regular HQ is great fun, funnily I just blogged about it.

But still, nice you got what you were hankering for and have some new painting to do :)
