Yet in the Great Arthur Campaign you get the main protagonists stats, why not with HQ and all its scale-ability. HQ has been out for years now. So much for moving up the scale.

Are they an important group in the oncoming Hero Wars? Will they be significantly featured in future products?

To me HQ should be all about the big picture: the Hero Wars. Publications should provide chance to heroquest, mix it with the big names, and make history. It still feels it's a role-playing adventure game, lacking in confidence to take on the big picture stuff. Roll on the Great Argrath Campaign.

Too much minutae detail.
