Model Review: Heist Expansion with Princess Delores


Today we take a look at the Heist Expansion with Princess Delores. Delores is a Gunner class hero in Riot Quest and a Mercenary solo for Warmachine.


The Heist Expansion is a new game mode for Riot Quest, which involves the security bots represented by the three miniatures and the card deck which controls their actions.


Delores comes in two parts, this main body has fantastic detailing especially on her dress which should make it really interesting to paint. I think I will ask my daughter to help me pick what colour to choose.


She is seriously well armed. braces of pistols can be seen here.



More pistols on this side too.



In game terms I hate these miniguns... they are more powerful than the chaincannons on the Stormwall... it makes no sense to me.


Her head, left arm and the bazooka strapped across her back is the other part of her. The way they connect together is interesting and has allowed for a more interesting angle of holding her arms out.





These are the main body parts for the three different bots.


This is the alarm style bot with a big megaphone looking attachment.



This one looks a little like a Scutter from Red Dwarf. This alone has picked my colour scheme for these bots! 

For some reason I lost the pics of the zap bot. Not sure how that happened, sorry...


They each have two of these mini tank treds which are the same regardless of which side they go on which makes it easy to assemble them. 


Here they are fully assembled.


And with Professor Pendrake for scale.


I like the look of the bots but I will be putting them on 30mm bases like I have for other Riot Quest tokens and non hero models.



Delores is one of the Riot Quest models I think doesn't fit in well with the Warmahordes aesthetic, but does fit in really well in Riot Quest.



Over all these are really nice sculpts with hardly any clean up. I am really looking forward to painting up the Princess as I can see there being a lot of scope for trying out new colours or techniques.
For Warmachine players it is annoying that a solo as desirable as the Princess is tied to a Riot Quest add on which is understandable.
