Hem the Dwarft

I had a chance to play Hero Quest this past weekend and I got inspired to do some painting. I have not painted to many dwarfs before, they were very challenging. There are a lot of tiny spaces and hard to reach areas. I think it came out pretty good, you can leave a comment if you disagree.

Hero Quest Barbarian

I started painting my barbarian. I did not do a dip job on him. I started with a base coat and did some brown wash on his skin and boots, a dark blue wash on his loin cloth and black with a dark gray dry brush on his hair. I am still learning how to do eyes well but they came out pretty well i think.

HeroQuest Orc Dip Job

I recently got HeroQuest for the third time. I don't know why I have sold this game ever it is to awesome. I started playing with some friends that are all table top newbies. The playing has went well so far. To make the game more enjoyable and also because I like painted figures better; I have started painting them. If you look back in my post you will see figure that I painted in the past for this game. I used a dark undercoat and dry brushed the colors to give depth. More recently I have been experimenting with washes and inks; I have also learned about dips. I have never used a dip before so I decided to try it out on the orcs.

I put a quick base coat not to detailed.

Then I dipped each one and held them with a pare of pliers to shake off the excess. I took a brush and dabbed of the extra that pooled up in areas I did not want it.
