Having recently unearthed my copy of Advanced Heroquest from a parent's loft, I've been thinking about how this fascinating-but-flawed game introduced me to the Warhammer world and thus to many happy years of playing Warhammer Fantasy Battle.
HeroQuest before it had some elements of Warhammer in it (such as Fimir and Chaos Warriors) but AHQ was the first game I came across that was emphatically set in the Warhammer world, featuring the Skaven in a starring role and referencing oldhammer elements as the World's Edge Mountains, the Chaos Wastes and Solkan, God of Vengeance.
If anyone's interested, I wrote a little retrospective of the game on my blog - see the link above.
