Blast from the Past: Hero Quest Chaos Warrior

Hey all, another quick Hero Quest update. I finished one of the Chaos Warriors that came with the game and decided on doing a Khorne scheme for this guy. I think I'll paint each one for a different god. Stay tuned for more updates. Comments welcome!

Blast from the Past: Hero Quest Mummy

Hey all, another Hero Quest update, this timeone of the Mummies. This one technically isn't a repaint since it was a bleached bone color plastic originally. Comments welcome!

Blast from the Past: Hero Quest Orc with Choppa

Hey all, time to dig into the Hero Quest repaint project! First up is one of the Orcs from the game, this one wielding a very early choppa. Nothing to fancy here, just a few highlights and washes. Eventually I'll go back and base all of the HQ minis. Comments welcome!

Blast from the Past: Hero Quest!

Hey all, time for something a little different. I managed to dig out my old Hero Quest box for some good old nostalgia. Looking at the old old GW minis in there and the then seemingly 'good' paintjobs I was able to pull off reveal quite a bit of progress compared to my painting level now. Having had these long before I ever discovered Warhammer and concomittantly the 'GW Hobby' (whatever that is), and not knowing much about painting at the time, I just went ahead and painted them with cheap oil-based paints. I didn't know about basecoating, highlighting, drybrushing and various other painting techniques. It's both humbling and refreshing to look at them. So, without rambling much more, the goal for this litle project will be to repaint them all - giving them a much needed facelift. What about you guys? What were the first minis you ever painted? How do they stack up to what you're painting now?
