Not a stupid question at all: no, it's not. Warhammer quest was an "advanced heroquest plus" that Games workshop put out after developing the orginal baord game for MB.

Heroquest was proposed as a name for a role playing game set in Glorantha shortly after the first such game, Runequest, debuted in the 70's.

It was never completed, and GW/MB produced the boardgame of the same name (drawing from the random fantasy word pool "sword dragon hero world quest dungeon wizard"), which had nothing to do with Glorantha.

The first version of the rules discussed here were publilshed as Hero Wars: the release of HeroQuest as a copyrighted term from GW/MB co-incided with the schedule for a heavily revised rule set.

The current game titled HeroQuest is a pen & paper role playing game set in one of the oldest FRP campaign worlds, Glorantha. I happen to think it's the spiffiest game out there, but I'm very biased.
