Seldon9 Is Painting HeroQuest

Here’s the centrepiece in my opinion. I went through almost every colour in the Scale colour skin tones set.

Same concerns as painting the dwarf. I wanted the metallics to stand out but I’ve never been keen on shading them. NMM always looked better in my opinion. But I’m pleased with the result.

I didn’t matt coat any metallics. It has too strong an effect on the TMM so I left them glossy.

So I finished the core box. It’s all packed up ready for a courier to pick up. I have a couple of expansions to paint but their content isn’t different to what’s in the main box. I’ll keep this going and see if it’s worth updating with new paints of the same sculpts.

I asked my friend to take some pics of the figures on his board. We don’t live that close to each other so only catch up every so often. He’s given each floor of his 3d print a different colour. I’ve chosen one pic where the floor was a closeish match to the colour of the flagstones I painted. I’ll include the other pics in the gallery.

I have a couple of expansions to complete and this project is done. My friend bought his copy at retail so I don’t believe all the KS expansions were available. The two he got are pictured.

It’s a shame that these expansions only have repeats of the minis in the main box.

Kellar’s Keep has 8 more orcs, 6 goblins and 3 abominations. Actually there are a couple of doors which are different.

Return of the Witch Lord contains 8 skeletons, 4 mummies and 4 zombies along with the same two doors as Kellar’s Keep.

I’ll be honest I was flagging a bit with this project. Something a bit different would have helped boost motivation a lot. The KS had some big bosses which appear not to have been available.

Orcs and goblins from the expansion done. I tried to make the zenithal a bit less shadowy to make their finish a bit brighter that the last set.

Last part of the Kellar’s Keep box had 3 Abominations and a couple of reinforced doors. They’re done and that’s the first expansion complete.

Half of The Return of the Witch Lord expansion contains 8 skeletons. They’re done along with a couple more doors.

The other half of The Return of the Witch Lord contained 4 zombies and 4 mummies. They’re complete now. It was nice to finish on the mummies as they required the least effort of all the units.
