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.

Hero Quest Pics

Here are some random pictures of my old Hero Quest Game. I never really got to play it and ended up trading it for the Battlemasters set that I am now converting to a WarHammer army. LOL gate way drug I guess.

I started playing Hero Quest with my cousins when I was younger: trying to capture my youth.

But who could not love a game that looks like this: with all the doors and furniture it really captures the imagination. 

I had started paiting them but never finished.

What do you think of my smurf of death? I have a unit of night Goblins painted the same way.

Battle Masters

I started playing BattleMasters and Hero Quest with my cousins when in was about 10 or so. We would also take the pieces to the games and make our own which was just as fun. Both games where licensed by Milton Bradly from Games Workshop from there Warhammer lines and worked as a gate way drug as they used the same molds for the figures all of which are out of print now. They came out in the early 90's and you can still find both on Ebay just about any time but the price jumps up and down. I was in a mode of nostalgia when I got 2 set to make an Empire army to play Warhammer.

I started painting some of the figures a while back I have to find the motivation to finish the set.

I got the table set up, trying to talk my wife in to playing a game with me.
