HeroQuest: The Black Orc (a Warhammer Fantasy Battles Homebrew)
The classic Black Orc will likely never see a return in modern HeroQuest due to being a wholly Games Workshop product, but that doesn't mean we can't homebrew our own!
Here's a look at what the Black Orc was -- and how we might incorporate it into our HeroQuest game!

Perfect 28mm for HeroQuest, Warhammer Quest || OtherWorld Miniatures (UK)
1/64 is Matchbox car scale. 1/56 is Bolt Action WW2 size. 1/48 was O railroad scale. 1/87 was HO railroad scale. Sooo back in the old days...wargaming armies were primarily 25mm or 1/72. Metal. A Napoleonic period game could have several hundred figures on each side. WW2 guys could have tanks, artillery and planes in 1/72 as well as plastic soldiers at an affordable price. D&D was played with 25mm because it was based on Chainmail, a fantasy wargames rule set. Citadel and Games Workshop shifted to 28mm and 25mm was sidelined.
1/56 is 28mm
Having a new d&d group I’m playing with, have thought of doing a HeroQuest campaign. This would definitely be a great addition to that
15:48 Spell Mix plays best when you have additional spell sets such as the Elf Spells from EQP - Mage of the Mirror (I guess Elf players prefer to select their own spells), or if you have the Wizards of Morcar expansion featuring Spells of Darkness, Spells of Detection and Spells of Protection. Other custom spell sets such as Nature Spells or Ice Spells may come in handy (and if Zargon allows it, also Bard, Warlock and Druid spells). Same consideration for 10:17 Arcana Study which also gives a boost to 9:38 A Magic Moment skill, 'cos the Wizard may have a higher number of spells to cast during that turn.
More!
3:50 Master Stroke skill is intended to be a "long shot"! I guess no Morcar or Zargon player would like to face heroes with super powers, so the chance of a succesful roll is limited to 12.5% here to balance the high power this skill has to offer. But imagine the Dwarf with only 1 or 2 Body Points left and facing an Ogre boss with 10 Body Points. Would it be worth to use the skill or no? Would you run away from the dungeon (if possible) or would you take your only chance to kill the boss with a single hit? This card also make the Hand Axe worth to be in your equipment.
Another consideration: during the Quest you may count how many times you roll 3 skulls on 3 dice (being equipped, for example, with a broadsword). The lesser the times you rolled 3 skulls on all 3 dice, the highest the chance you'll have a successful roll using this skills.
Black Orcs without Chaos Dwarves (Dread Dwarves)??? Bring on the Blunderbuss!
The Chaos Dwarfs are definitely tough to source affordably! I don't want to 3d print anything so it's more of a challenge to get these models for my various games!
I'll proudly announce it here, I translated Mound of the Beastmen into English. Looking forward to a video to see if it has changed and how it's been received.
You're the english translator for MotB? That's great! ☺️ thanks to the English translation, I printed this off some years ago but haven't gotten the orange dice yet. I need to order them right away.
@@AshQuest I translated several fanmade expansions back in the day from French and Italian. I do not know how I used to find the time, but it was fun. Have you seen ghan's Champion of the Empire?
This is amazing. Does it give backs to the cards too?
Where does one buy the black dice? If you have a link let me know! Thank you.
All you need is this link. :] www.etsy.com/shop/ReproQuestshop?ref=shop-header-name&listing_id=1497658379&from_page=listing
@@AshQuest Thanks brother!
Love vids like this . I like to know how people homebrew so i can get inspired .
love it!! come up with some bosses and some quest for the show
the chance of rolling 3 skulls is 0% because you will never use that card.
Great video, Ash! I've been doing the same with most of my Warhammer Collection. More please!
Absolutely LOVE this kind of content bringing even more creative factions to the evil ranks of HQ! Cannot wait to see more in this kind of series 🤘🤘
I liked the deep dive into the homebrew process. I'm looking forward to more homebrew monsters. I think its a valuable skill for Zargon to have- as with a small tweak to the monster you can effectively rerun a dungeon and get a new experience. Re-killing zombies is all fun and games until the Gargoyle Tyrant busts through the wall. 'H.E.R.O.E.S' ;p For the black orc ability to amp other green monsters I could see it between an aoe aura or 'spell' that gives other green monsters anywhere between rolling an extra die (attack or move or defend) for a turn or using the black dice instead for a turn if you use the monster as a singular elite unit. The extra die one could get spicy if a monster can be effected by more than one instance of the ability at a time. Personally I think I would go with the flexible extra die for a turn as an ability in most cases, but for a more elite version use the aura. I found the insight about the HP really useful as I wouldn't have really thought about the extra time that could add up just in trying to get damage thru. Though I've mostly run the early quests in the book.
definitely want more of these... and maybe to see your retro warhammer collection
Please sir, I want some more.
Black Ork Movement 5 Attacks 3/3 (2 att) Defense 3 Body point 3 Mind 2 Waaagh ,use once, all orks roll 1 extra attack and defense this turn
Waaagh!?
I told a chick I wanted to show her my dragon and she smacked me
We used the big orcboss of battlemasters wich was made in 1992 by MB in our homebrew HQ. You could guess the stats of this monster. It was insane. The model is also insane. We use the black orcs as luitenants.
There isn’t an orcboss in battlemasters 🤔 do you mean the Ogre Champion? He’s indeed great😊
As always, great video! Cannot wait to see more of your monsters! Also we definitely need a video on power dice!
I want to do a Vermintide inspired heroquest campaign with the family. They might enjoy it but it will be a passion project for me.
I have the beginnings of that exact kind of project on this very channel! I think I call it Skittertide, but it's one of my earliest one or two vids!
@TomCruiseRisky Bern working on something like that myself, as well as a Beastmen themed questline.
HeroQuest and Warhammer are peanutbutter and chocolate.
Cannot create a comment better than Ash's introduction to this video. I do find the wolf abilities inspiring and expect many are already hacking the the JoD companions.
How do you structure encounters in the Outdoor areas?
outdoors in heroquest is like the wild west - officially (at least on tiles that represent outdoor areas in the expansions), it's handled no differently than indoor encounters within a boundary. So to me, an outdoor is just like turning that room boundary way up, like 24x24 in terms of line of sight, but state what objects (trees, caves, boulders, houses, fence wall etc) will block LoS. Still, it becomes more wargame-y if you place everything down at once, so I like to select maps that have a lot of concealment so the heroes can discover things. I really need to get back into LokeQuest.
I got a variation of this recently. As a kid I would of loved it honestly.
ABSOLUTELY NO COMBAT Thru Doorways!!! Simple, Super Effective! Best House Rule Against Superheroes, At the beginning of the encounter Zargon rolls 1 Combat Die. If it's a Black Shield 🛡️ Monster's Go First! 🤯
Ninja, ninja rap. Go ninja go ninja go
Depending on the rest of the range these could be good for small scale Kings of War.
Sooo the wolf can use the tempest sword?
the wolf is an "animal ally", not a "hero". It cannot wield a sword
If his name is Sif
They're really not small, they're standard 25mm (1:72), and would fit in just fine with other 25mm miniatures. Sure they'll look small when you compare them to 30mm (1:60) or larger minis. They would also look small if you compare them to life-sized statues.
Came for the toys, stayed for the a capella
Please translate to spanish, great job
You must involve HispaZargon for this 😊
Comment
28mm is 1/56 scale
This ninja seems to be modelled after the Ninja Tori-Jima from the Heroes for Dungeon Quest Expansion 1987.
😉🤫🥷🏻
They are italian actualy, but you are right about the favorite creator part
The animal ally skill cards are def a must have for those of us that cant get more than two people in a game. Its a great buff to have for the wolf, ill def make some custom ones for the non HQ animal allies i have. Also.. that Chaotic Sword is pretty sweet.
Wait...I can recharge that axe with scrolls? That's soooo overpowered! 😂 Overall, great video!
Axe of Destruction, Tempest Sword, Chaotic Sword and Magic Horn were all featured in the quests published by the Brazilian magazines back in 1994. They were only listed in the quest notes, no cards existed for them.
As a small artist, thanks for supporting artists!
Hi Ash! Fantastic video, sir. When I did my first Dreadening Deck, I did use AI for some components. I do all of the composition myself always, but i did have a little help with assets back then. This was months before the story about how AI actually worked. The AI scandal was a HUGE driving factor in why Advanced Armory went to a second edition. I did a lot of overtime and invested a ton of my own money into real art assets from real artists. I refreshed my own skillset as well just by virtue of experience through working on my system. I create a lot of my own assets now as well. Since then I have remade that deck with fresh human creative goodness. One must be careful though, when shopping asset packs. As you mentioned, some asset creators have a little help. Most of the time, it's really obvious. Just be sure to screen a pack before you buy or download.
Wow, lucky. Mine took 7 months to get here
Hi. You can use them i warmaster. 😊
Those mummies could be like a little terra cotta army of killer dolls, swarming whoever opens the room
LOL awesome suggestion!
I love these, :)
The 3 skulls roll is not 50%. It is (1/2)•(1/2)•(1/2) = 1/8 ~ 12.5%
This idea is great. But to me, it is over powered, if applied to some of the expansions. I would suggest, Zargon/Morcar has to roll a red dice and only by chance he is allowed to draw a card from this deck. This will reduce the number of cards he is able to use.
Nicely done. I've seen the Home Brewed Heroes on Ye Old Inn, and I like the level up system they use. I use their system as a guide line so not to overpower my Home Brewed Characters.
Thanks Ash, very much appreciated. I'm too far in on Cthulhu Quest 4, but will definately check this out for book 5 onwards. I think there will always be an element of AI in what I'm doing though, for unique looks I'm after (especially for an RPG I am working on with its take on Orcs especially). Having said that, this is most definately more than just food for thought, especially if there is an artist out there that fits that RPGs style. Any artists wanting to get in touch, especially for the RPG, let me know.
I haven't tried out Cthulhu Quest yet, how many art pieces go into a project like that? Do you go off of prompts and free form depending on if you have something quest related in mind to fill relevant space to evoke the mood you are aiming for? I do like the kind of inviting open door framing you use on the covers. I'm not very good at buildings so haven't done much with that kind of theme or the painterly look. Most of my recent work has been greeting cards with construction paper for holidays and such but those covers are giving me some ideas to play with so I'll have to set some time aside to experiment. I could see something like a 'wish you were here' or 'welcome to' card could be fun to make.
