I think the cover gives off a heavy TORG vibe. For me, that's not a bad thing!

I think if the book is titled well (HeroQuest still seems to conjure up fantasy motifs - to say nothing of
fantasy-with-nifty-plastic-miniatures motifs - for many people) with it's identity as a genreless or "any genre" or "cross genre" type game then the cover really works.

I personally like it a lot and find the image very striking! I start a bit of a conversation about it on a local (to Canberra) forum where people discussed their views of its pros and cons. It did seem that many of the opinions there are inadvertantly echoed here.
