Re: Would you still love HS if you had to paint your own min
Not a chance.
I would still love the game and play with the pieces I have but that would be it. I wouldn't buy anything new. I can't even color between the lines, the idea of painting a mini scares the life out of me. I'd quit buying heroscape if I had to paint the figs. (Somewhere my girlfriend heard that and she is cheering). 2011 most played: 1. Heroscape/Monsterpocalypse/Quarriors. 4. Warhammer Invasion. 5. Last Night on Earth. |

Re: Would you still love HS if you had to paint your own min
I would die a little inside. I have no experience with painting figs, and if I tried, the perfectionist in me would come out and I would eventually drive myself into madness over every little flaw. I just can't do it.

I have been tempted to drybrush a few of my figs (Abomination, especially just screams for it), but so far I've resisted the temptation.. Brandon I'm HipHoppa on Urban Rivals!

I probably wouldn't have ever gotten into it in the first place.
-- I'm hooked now, so I'd stick around. I've found I actually enjoy doing repaints for the GenCon promos. So I'd keep buying. Even if I stopped buying, I'd be enjoying the old stuff for a long time. |

Re: Would you still love HS if you had to paint your own min
I prefer the prepainted minis because you can tear 'em out of the box and play. It allows those without artistic ability to still have decent looking stock figs, and those with skill to have good looking custom paint jobs. It also adds artistic credibility to those who repaint their figs, showing that they took the time to realize their vision instead of painting them because they were blank.
Strong arms and sharp steel rule this world. Never believe any different. |

There is no way Hasbro would do this, so the question is moot. This is a game targeted at 8 year old, and most 8 year olds are not going to be painting miniatures. It was the painted minis that was the original big selling point. Remember the packaging? What was the one thing they wanted to make sure people saw? One of the painted figs! I don't view pre-painted figs as Hasbro "carrying the load" any more than preprinted counters is GMT "carrying the load." Heroscape without pre-painted minis is no longer Heroscape. Painting my own exclusives is bad enough. Saying good-by to Heroscape Get Real! http://www.reallifenow.org Check out some of my songs: www.myspace.com/rlccmusic |

Re: Would you still love HS if you had to paint your own min
unpainted minis would mean that i would no longer buy heroscape.
i have no desire to buy all the paints and other supplies to do this by myself. bleh i would hazard a guess that unpainted minis = death of heroscape |

Re: Would you still love HS if you had to paint your own min
No. I suck at it.
I'm a gamer, not an artist. I could pay some guy $300 for a decent painted Warhammer Army, but I'm not gonna do that. Prepainted and no blind purchase is the only reason I've invested so much in this game! |

Re: Would you still love HS if you had to paint your own min
Wouldn't matter a whit to me.
We have played HeroQUEST for years without taking a paintbrush to the figs. the painted figs are a plus - Yes - but not a huge part of the game to say that I wouldn't buy it if it weren't painted. but if "they" didn't paint the figs - maybe we could get more in a wave? >ducking and running now, before I get hit with a stone< |

Re: Would you still love HS if you had to paint your own min
I've got boxes of unpainted figures stored away in my basement. If Heroscape had been produced with unpainted figures I would have bought it for the hexes/terrain and thrown all of those unpainted figures in the boxes with my other unpainted figures, most likely to never see the light of day. I probably would have read through the rules over lunch one day, but I doubt I would have even ever tried to play it.
