Heroquest was my gateway drug to miniatures, roleplaying and everything! Also the first thing I painted. A friend of mine had some hobby paints, some really glossy acrylics, so we painted the minis with that. They were awful, but we were pretty happy. I still have some of them, though some were repainted with Citadel colors a few years later. I also had Talisman, the plastics in there were great for the time. Painted most of the heroes, they were the top of my work back then. Still have them in my attic.
