Recently, I was fortunate enough to spend some time there. This photo gallery includes a dozen photos taken inside what Hasbro game designers often refer to as "The HeroScape Room"

Lack of visual detail on your castle set got you down?

You see, nearly everything that comes out for Heroscape employs a technique known in the painting world as: Washing. "Washing" is a technique in which you add thinned-down paint or ink to a figure to emphasize the deep parts -- effectively creating shadows where there really aren't any.
