Back at the beginning of November, the eponymous Ash from AshQuest debuted an excellent video on YouTube about using the miniatures from Talisman 5th Edition in the latest iteration of HeroQuest from Avalon Hill.
I’d recommend giving the video the once over, but the answer to the age old question of “Will it HeroQuest?” is a resounding YES!
Enter Fernando ‘Odanan’ Prado and his fantastic card sets for HeroQuest that use the characters from the base game of Talisman and after a little chat, we decided to put together a bunch of character sheets using various miniatures from HeroQuest for use in Talisman!
Fernando supplied suitable artwork in the correct format and I cobbled together a selection of heroes, some of which were basically copies of their namesakes, and others which have a little twist on the original ideas. Some might need a little work, some might have a bit of an edge, but all of them should be playable in your next game of Talisman.
There are multiple cards for certain heroes, for instance the Barbarian, that use the same text and attributes, the whole point of which is that you can use whichever miniature you fancy during that particular adventure.
If possible I have a mind to create cards for the Mercenaries from the game and perhaps make some cards up for the heroes that are doubled up in Talisman, like the Dwarf, Elf and Wizard. I’ll ponder that some more in the coming weeks!
