About the Project
This is hopefully going to be the year that I finally finish painting the Warhammer Quest game I bought many moons ago. I remember coming home from school and ignoring my home work completely as there was a big box of goodness on the table. I slammed my cassette of Type o Negatives then new album October rust in my stereo, ripped off the plastic from the weighty box lifted the lid and basked in the new box smell and took in the sight of a box bulging with models and crazy cool dungeon tiles and big chunky 3d plastic doors. It was at this point that I vowed to my younger self that I would paint all the models in the box... Turns out that never happened, flash forward 22 years at Christmas time I visited my parents and ventured into there loft it was there that I found my Warhammer quest box in all its glory (still unpainted) I thought all my shame that I had left when I moved out had been lost in a move. The old memories of how cool the game was came flooding back, I opened the box and looked inside it did not disappoint all the cards were there and a wide selection of models some from the game original game and others that I added as I liked them , I took it back home with me with plans to paint the models. Flash forward another two years and I still have a box of mainly grey plastic the spring clean challenge is the perfect excuse to slam some music on the stereo and finally finish painting this project.

The dungeon heroes
It turns out i did paint some of the models, im pretty pleased with how they look i may add a flesh wash to the barbarian and maybe rebase the models with floor tile bases to match the monsters. At the moment they are based with gravel that i liberated from my dads train set back in the day
The box of shame to be completed
This is the collection of models, its mainly gw plastic and metal figures but with some reaper bones additions.Starting the Orcs
Thought I would start this project by finishing the Orc warriors, they are not the single pose dudes that came from the set.
I had previously got as far as undercoating them and making putty stone slabs for the bases, rather than stripping the paint and starting again I gave them a good dust and just carried on painting them from where I left off.
I am painting these green fellows as a homage to my first space ork army that used to loot and pillage the universe in their fine yellow trousers and red shirts with bright goblin green skin. 90s colour schemes were cool if a little on the bright side.
I gave contrast paint for the leather boots and pouches it makes things a lot faster. They are not lying when they say one thick coat you can splash it on and it highlights its self.
The Orc boys getting ready for dust and a fresh coat of paint
