@Tfmonkey If you've never seen it before, you can't tell how large it all is without something to compare its size to.
@BowsacNoodle The box is about 3 times the depth / thickness of a typical board game box. Definitely fatter than the D&D starter box, and about twice as wide.
@RoninGrey @BowsacNoodle If you plan on collecting the expansions, you can 3D print custom containers to store all the minis, furniture, tokens, etc so you can at least fit the 3 main expanions (Kelors Keeps, Return of the Witch King, and the Frozen Horror) in the main box.
If you plan on owning more expansions than that, you won't be able to fit everything in the main box. I use the main box for minis, another box (Ogre Horde) for furniture, another box (Jungles) for tokens, etc. within a tote
@RoninGrey @BowsacNoodle here is an ad-hoc tier list of HeroQuest expansions (I own them all).
1. Against the Ogre Horde
2. Jungles of Delthrak
3. Mage of the Mirror
4. Frozen Horror
5. Rise of the Dread Moon
6. Return of the Witch Lord
7. Kelors Keep
8. Prophecy of Telor
9. Spirit Queen's Torment
B:
@RoninGrey @BowsacNoodle There is an undead tree golem called a Skullblight in the Jungles of Delthrak expansion, but no.
I did homebrew an Artificer class with some 3D printed automata to use in battle. There are already rules for animal companions, so you can use those for something equivalent.
I also recommend 3D printing replacements for the tokens, but the tokens are fine if you don't have access to a 3D printer.
