I'm not at home at the moment to count the pieces and I think I was mainly interested in the rooms and corridors, and the rules of course, so a selection of unpainted figures was a bonus. Heroes, a lot of henchmen and Skaven? - check. I'm not sure if I have six doors though - will check when I get back (or look closely at photo - below). I think it's all there and playable. (Okay, I know I sound like a bit of a dope but the chances are that whatever I play next will be a sort of hybrid game with pieces and rules stolen from here and there and I can always claim that it was -ahem- research for floorplans, honest)
Here's the link to the set I bought:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=200352648030
(hoping that works)
It was slightly more than I expected but after looking about a bit at the ridiculous prices AHQ and accessories go for on ebay I think I got a rather good deal. I think the £8.50 p&p put a few people off. In fact some bids for rules and board sections added together went for more. Astonishing!
(Did I mention that I also acquired Warlock of Firetop Mountain boardgame
- again bought for the lush map/board - although with that one I have to work out what the missing counters are - the seller claimed that he'd never played it so he wasn't sure, but at least the heroes and mazes pieces are all there. Ebay is a very dangerous place if you're feeling nostalgic!)
I am now resisting looking for an HQ game set - for completist sake - but that's just silly because I have similar figures (and I have the D&D HQ clone boardgame), but still... However all the rules with the weapon racks and cupboards would make for interesting play along with those maze rules. Last year I spent some time playing a downloaded HQ game - it wasn't bad, ridiculously small file size, ran on anything and felt very much like a turn based Gaunlet or Nethack.)
Fimirs are pretty tough, aren't they?
