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.

Dungeon Quest for Android

Here is the new game I have been playing for the last few days. I randomly down loaded it just to kill some time, but it turned out to be a lot of fun. Its called Dungeon Quest. There are a lot of pop ups and in game purchases, but you can play the game and get great items with out paying any money. It seems like the stuff they charge for are more fluff items. they include avatar costumes and little glowing icons over you head so you really don't need them.



You get to play as a wizard or warrior and think there are other classes. I am not sure if you have to unlock them or pay. I am playing as a wizard.



you play trough 4 randomly generated floors and then do a boss battle. Sound generic but the game play is really fun.

Heroclix

When I started this blog I was getting a warhammer army together to play. Now any one who plays  knows its an expensive game to play and im not that close to a place to play, that coupled with most people where I live play 40k Im trying a new game. Seeing the price and the fact I work in a place where they sale heroclix was a good motivation to try it. One thing I do like is you can play online so even if you cant get a game going or you just need to get a hang of the rules you can play. There are simple and advanced rules so any one can play plus you can make make any dream team of super heros to play with. There so many pices to use and diffrent versions kf the same character you can spend some money here as well, but you dont have to with starter sets for about 20 dollars you and a friend can get with it quick and cheap. Most new sets also have a code to get the figures for the online game so you can practice with them. Over all a fun little game that has been out for a while and has a following.  You can check there site at heroclix.com to find a local retail location in your area.
