The wash was one of the inclusions that helped to further set Heroscape apart from other pre-painted games on the market when it was initially released.

I think the wash would be good as a minimum, like they do with the Unmatched miniatures. But I am also wondering is different plastic colors, matching the general colors (and similar to Arena of the Planeswalkers) plus an ink wash would be even better for differentiating figures during game play.
I come from the early HeroQuest days, and I really liked how simple color coding was used for monster types. Classic Scape obviously spoiled me with pre-painted, but I think just gray miniatures may be too bare-bone for the new-player ease that a game like HeroScape lean towards.
