Entering The Cursed City (Warhammer Quest)

Time for a wizened old wizard! This fellow was a lot of fun to work on although I had to try and puzzle my way around a dodgy purple paint pot!

I always like painting books as well! There is something satisfying in the finishing of them!

By contrast – this miniature, Qulathis The Exile, was a lot of fun to paint and mainly because I know one of my friends will be clamouring to play as her.

It was cool working on the different colours and trying to marry them all together. I had a lot of fun with the antlers on the “crown” and the skin here.

As possibly my favourite character from the game, I was a bit dismayed with the outcome here on Jelsen Darrock.

I think it’s because there is so much brown. He is very dark compared to the other characters and I maybe could have done more to highlight various areas of the model. His face was also a pain to paint!

I think of all of the characters, Brutogg Corpse-Eater was possibly the biggest challenge thanks to his sheer size.

I enjoyed the process of painting him but there were a lot of different stages involved in doing so. It took me a good few hours to finish him between working on other characters.

The second hero I attempted, this time clad in heavy armour, Emelda Braskov.

Another fun one considering the amount of armour on display at that rather wild cloak topper too. I also liked playing around with the hair and facial details here.

The first hero I painted from the set, the dashing Glaurio ven Alten III.

He was a lot of fun and an interesting character to start with considering all the different elements to him.

I will get to the heroes shortly but I was also drawn to some of the key villains from Cursed City that you’ll face on your adventures. First up, we have the impressive Vampire Ogor Radukar The Wolf (I don’t care GW…he’s still an Ogor).

He was a lot of fun to work on, especially when it came to getting his vampiric flesh looking right when contrasted with the pale wolf cloak.

We also have Captain Halgrim here of the Ulfenwatch…

…and Gorslav The Gravekeeper. I wanted to add a bit more to this fellow but I might come back to that. I think as it stands he works nicely and dies into the zombies.

At the time of reading this, I will probably be working towards the Vargskyrs and Torgilius next before attempting more of the rank and file monsters in the collection.

I did spend some time tinkering on some more of the monstrous creatures that the heroes will face. One such pairing is the duo of Kosargi Nightguard who have been given an unending task by Radukar The Wolf.

These were good fun to paint and I think they have a nice presence to them on the tabletop. Again, nothing too fussy but just enough to make them stand out!
