A Quest for Heroes..... a Heroquest!

[Easy E]

Greetings all,

For Christmas, I got a nice, shiny, new Heroquest core set.  In theory, I could have opened it up and started playing it that morning.  However, I put two restrictions in myself as soon as I opened it up. 

1. No playing it until it was ALL painted.

2. No expansions until Core Set was done

Sadly, I could not get to painting them right away, as I was still finishing up my Battle of Kadesh project.

However, with all being done, it was time to jump in and work on my Heroquest Core Set. I am documenting is all on the Blood and Spectacles blog as I power through the painting process.  I will mostly be using Army Painter Speedpaints v1.0, Armypaint Washes, and Armypainter regular line.  For prime I use Grey Seer from GW, and my Matte coat is a Krylon spray.  There are a few departures, but when I use something different I call it out on the blog.

For some odd reason, I started my painting journey with the Heroes!  Normally, that is not the approach I would taking, saving them for last.  In addition, I painted them all 1-at-a-time.  Again, not my normal approach at all.  For the minions, I got back to batch painting them in a group, but even then I tried to make them all individuals, but with a common theme. 



That is the results after my first couple sessions with the Core Set.  I was impressed by the models.  They were way better than some Hellboy Board Game pieces I had painted early last year.  In fact, I enjoyed painting them better than some Wizkids or Reaper Bones models.  I will probably use these for D&D minis as well as Heroquest.  The material is solid and the detail is mostly good.  They take well to speed painting.

Have you painted up your Heroquest models?  Feel free to share them here.  Let's go on this quest together!

What you've done so far looks good. keep it up.
I admire your resolve, I agree with Oscar Wilde, 'I can resist anything...but temptation'

Hey, that's still going to arrive some time...some time.

Nice work there, good to hear what the minis are like as well. Any chance of close ups of your paintjobs? I'm looking forward to seeing the rest as well.
