With 2022 coming to a close, I wanted to compile a nice presentation for every alternate hero skin. Alternate heroes are something I'm strangely passionate about, despite how inundated we are with them now and the fact that I don't even play Hearthstone anymore.
This is a visual list of every alternate hero skin organized by release order, as well as the year they were released. To qualify, the hero has to be a different character than the base hero, and only one character per portrait is counted. That's also including the two that are in the game but not currently obtainable.
EDIT: Apparently Whitemane and Mal'ganis are currently purchasable. My bad. Like I said, I'm not playing the game.

That's a very cool thing to do and to share with us, especially considering you're no longer playing HS! Thanks a lot!
If I may be so bold to suggest an improvement: Could you add a little number to each character so we can see how many portraits they got? Like 28 Nemsys, 1 King Rastakhan, ... and then add a sum at the top of the chart, next to the class icon with the total number of portraits for each class. That would complete the picture for me :)
Great job!
Sure.
This looks considerably more jank because I made it in Paint.net (I made the first one in a sandbox using assets from the Hearthstone wiki). If I do this again next year, I'll put the base heroes on the original list.
If you want a visual list of every single portrait in this style, this page on the wiki has one, albeit not as cleanly arranged.
Amazing work, thanks a lot! This really puts things into perspective. With the amount of complaints on reddit and twitter I'd have expected far more nemsy portraits than there actually are in the game lol
You should totally post this on reddit as well, I bet many people would find it interesting.
I don't have a Reddit account, but you have my permission to post it for me if you give credit and a link back to here.
Done!
