This game is a kick in the nostalgia... remember it being my gateway into Dungeons and Dragons and Warhammer.
Just got my Hero Quest box set yesterday. I'm glad I found these videos, as I look forward to adding colour and life to the game. 😊
Really enjoyed your guide and tips and have been one of my beacon to get all my HQ furniture painted. I paid you homage in my very noob-ly made video :)
This is fantastic! I LOVE that you showed two completely different techniques and compared them simultaneously along with the realistic number of layers (and time). The time and layers is something usually missing from most crafting and painting videos. Subscribed and looking forward to more!
Love the idea for the fireplace portrait
The music in the background is terrifying! 👻
Really well done! Nice to see such solid results with craft paints and old fashioned dry brushing.
I used to paint all my minis with craft paint for the first decade of painting so it definitely works!
Love it, I've been watching some painting tutorials and found yours really honest and helpful. I like the techniques and the results, encourages me to start doing some painting myself :)
Yeah, your gaming group are going to be impressed with any paint on your minis/terrain vs just mono-color plastic!
Great tutorial once again, GG!
Very handy for some bar furniture that I'm working on for D&D.
Wow, Im bookmarking this as a guide for when I paint mine
Fantastic work! Can't wait to try some of these lessons out myself. Cheers!
Great job. Looks fantastic. Thank you for sharing. Received my order can't wait to start creating the life in the minatures as I did with the originals.
Keep on gaming.
Awesome work, my mini collection is growing, just need to create a good area for painting and get some paints.
Good god this is some artistry
Really nice! I love the altar.
For a beginner like me this is absolutely amazing, thank you! I really appreciate you comparing different techniques and paints too. So useful! The only thing I find distracting is the soundtrack in the background, but that's just me. Great video, thank you!
Yeah, others mentioned they didn't like the background music so I stopped adding it in my future videos. Glad it's helpful for you!
I'll save this one for my incoming Conan stuff. It is always good to get a reminder that not everything has to be a 20hr super detailed project. Dry brushing breaks are fun and can produce results to boost the painting spirit. As a side note: The music was a little loud and a bit irksome on repeat (personally I would rather not have it at all).
Yeah, perfectionism is the hurdle to getting any progress done. Thanks for the input too on the background music--I'll tone it down in the future.
Yes the video is fantastic but this type of music should be kept for the last shots for the whole recap
Great Tutorial!
The music really gives a "The Barbarian Hordes are approaching, but you need to finish this redecorating" vibe.
Whenever I paint a bookshelf mini, the first three books in it are always the colors of for the Player’s Handbook, Dungeon Master’s Guide, and Monster Manual for whatever edition of D&D I am using at the time. It’s a cute little reference that only I will get. I often give some extra XP to the first player to guess that. I guess 25 gold coins for HeroQuest.
That’s Awesome, lol gives me an idea. Helps your games break that 4th wall.
Very nice work!!!! Thank you for the inspiring tutorial! Your techinques are really helpful! Could you please help me with the size of the image for the fireplace? Any dimensions or tips would be really helpful, as i tried to get the correct size but without positive result . Thank you in advance.
Love the tutorial, really outstanding. I might suggest more mellow bg music for this kind of thing, though.
thanks heaps crazy good
Please do a play through video with the app! It would be sooo amazing with your painted figures!!!
Lookin good sir!
Super top bravo !!!!!
Great video man and I did what you did with the base primer - flat brown and slate gray and i didn't lose any fine detail at all as another commenter suggested. Question for you good sir - Are you thinning your chocolate brown / ochre craft paints before dry brushing them on the wood parts, or just straight from the pot? I couldn't tell. Definitely following your suggestions, though! 👍
How are you storing your painted minis? Would be awesome to see what solutions you think would be good
Another great video!! I have been really inspired by your tutorials.
What Contrast colours do you recommend for the furniture?
Any of the browns and greys work.
Dragons Rest have just released a new version of their HQ board for both the new and old version of HQ
Thanks for this guide. I think it's interesting though that you say the contrast paints and drybrushing take about the same amount of time. The contrast paints took you a single layer, you were done very quickly and had a good result. The drybrushing took you 3 layers for every base color. From here it would seem like there's no comparison on speed. The contrast paints took a heck of a lot less time on that door.
Yes, I agree that the contrast colors was faster, but not by as much as you think. Having a base color already on there saves time even though you are drybrushing highlights onto them.
If I send you my HQ box, how much would you charge for a full on paint job? I clearly don't have any arts skills, I love what you did!
Any recommendation for any kind of seal coat? Or do you recommend against that?
What are those acrylic boxes you use to store the minis?
Bellissimi
wonderfulio!
I feel the contrast door looks better than the layered door. If you did the same black iron on the contrast door, the lightness of the stone would've tied in better.
I'm surprised that you don't mount your smaller objects - doors, skulls, rats, etc. - on to corks or bottle tops for easier handling while painting. Nice work, though.
Looks amazing. Do you keep them in different custom trays to protect them?
I dumped the trays because they are too tight for painted furniture and minis and keep these in my display case.
Battle Foam makes foam cases for them you can put in the boxes.
Hello is there a digital store front to purchase the new hero quest painted furniture from you and figures or have my games miniatures painted by you?
Sorry, I don't do commission painting but you can check on Fiverr or your local game store for commissioning.
Can you link where you found the painting image that you used over the fireplace?
I just bought an old Heroquest fireplace on eBay, I’m going to cut it off and glue it to the the new fire place with pva glue.
Greetings , is there any list of the products you used to paint everything available?
I do have a list with the miniatures painting guide if you look in the video description: ua-cam.com/video/m3b_4FR2KjM/v-deo.html
I’ve never been so interested in painting minis. And the lack of colors from the missing cardboard from the vintage set leaves something missing.
How were the red chair cushions painted before the red highlighting was applied?
IIRC, I applied a darker red base (almost burgundy) and then highlighted with regular red.
I would expect that using flat matte primer as a base for Contrast Paints would hinder the paint’s characteristics - ie: colors won’t pull/pool as well because of the matte texture. Would be nice to have a video that tests this theory!
The primers I use are matte/flat and it seems to work fine but I've never tried gloss primer. I wonder if someone already tried this?
Music used in video?
games been out for less than a month, and he's pretty much done with the minis. ive done a door...
Well that's a start at least! 😂
I was gonna drybrush my doors but i do have a grey primer i dont use, now i think i will do speedpaints on them.
Nice little video, Thank you for that.
I do also think that HQ is an intro to complex board games and if you end up with a bad paint job it just adds to the childish magic of getting into role playing and gaming. Not that that stops me from painting the characters and monsters to the best of my abilities, i take big chances and try out different techniques that i would be hesitant to do on my nicer gw models.
On another note.
Has anyone else had issues with paint pooling (hydrophobia) on these models? I primed them directly from the box with citadel grey primer but parts of the models have a hydrophobic surface, on top of the primer. If i rub the paint around with my brush it sorta mixes with whatever is causing the problem and then the paint can adhere. Should i toothbrush them in soapwater before priming or use ipa to clean off mold release?
Yes, that sounds like mold release. You can mitigate it with washing your models with a toothbrush and some dishwashing soap and warm water before spray priming. But I'm lazy so I just did the same as you and just rubbed in the paint on top of it.
Im so glad this problem is bigger than me. Im gonna wash them and remove the mold lines, having copy number 21k and change it kinda needs the love and attention. Had hoped to get this game done quickly, but my kids are gonna be playing this for years, and i want to try to inspire them to aspire for greatness even when it means brushing teeth on orcs and zombies.
Im gonna challenge myself to do it in two days (or evenings rather).
At 10:31 what kind of brush did you say? Hopster brush?
Hog's hair brush. Like these: amzn.to/4em0ESG
@@gaminggeek241 thankyou very much!
Is Rustoleum satin brown ok for the furniture?
Yes, any brown is fine as a primer--the reason I like the really dark ones is you get higher contrast. But experiment with just one piece before spraying everything so that you like the final effect.
@@gaminggeek241 thanks
Hey there! If I MAIL you my Heroquest pieces, can YOU paint them all for me? I will pay too!
I wanna get this game but $125 for the base game is outrageous
Amazon UK had massive Black Friday deals. Keep an eye open.
@@darthkek1953 im us based not uk unfortunately
The background of the fire should not be pale grey.
Love the video but the music doesn’t match the video.
Anyone in USA or Canada that has a GameStop, this game is $25 off. Just got mine for $100 with free shipping.
I got mine for 94.00 there was an in store sale, and I had some discount coupons from my power up membership
i like the content, but the background music is so stressful 😫
Yeah, sorry, I'll cut out background music moving forward.
Wow your printer is loud.
After seeing this I’ve taken 4 weeks annual leave to try to replicate your work, with nowhere near your detail✌️
you killed TONS of the detail with the brown primer. The white primer kept all of the wood grain. not sure why you suggest the brown primer
Totally subjective--that's why I showed both methods so you can pick which one you like better. Using Contrast Colors is actually quicker so go with that if you prefer.
Probably very informative but I couldn't get past the ear-grindingly repetetive background music, mixed waaay too loudly compared to your voice. 🙁
I don't want to paint them!
Backed this early and now had a email telling me I won't be getting anything butni can have a refund.
Very disappointing.
What?! Why can't they deliver?
@@gaminggeek241 no explanation. Gave me a courier number the company said didn't exist then just offered a refund. Pretty pissed off about it
Little update. Still no refund and no game .
@@stevepickford3004 oh man this is crap
I just don’t get the excitement of this game. It’s so repetitive stand in the doorway, fight monsters as they come out repeat and rinse.
What was you 3D printing at the time?
I can't remember... Probably more terrain.
Very Vincent Price house of usher feeling
