Hero Quest Painting Guide Ep.11 Abominations

[@davidmorris6707]

Painting my Kellers keep mini's. Came back for a reminder as busy few months. THOUGH need to say, using this method I painted one as Flounder (Little Mermaid), one as Marlin (Finding Nemo) and as Luca (Luca). My journey continues...

[@notyourmothershobbies]

Haha that sounds fun. I love that for these guys, just throwing in some silly fishy homages haha.

[@PinkAwesome]

Love the variants, that adds so much to a group of enemies with the same model. Gorgeous work.

[@notyourmothershobbies]

Thanks! I think it's good to show you don't have to follow the official artwork to get something cool, and using all the same techniques just different colours :)

[@michaeldirlingjr4589]

Very awesome.. These minis became fun to experiment with trying new techniques and color combos.

[@justingriffith6564]

great series man!

[@lessthanpopi]

Man, been waiting for this video for a long time! Fantastic paint job dude, looks professional with no effort. The alternate sculpt is crazy, love the added purple - it blends well with the rest. Great video as always!

[@notyourmothershobbies]

Glad I can fill some of the void for minis/sculpts that seem to get glossed over when it comes to painting tutorials. Seems sometimes that half a games minis just don't get the love (maybe for the algorithm ;p).

[@lessthanpopi]

I ended up trying something a little bit different, frostheart is a bit too bright in my opinion so i did a layer of space wolves grey first to darken it a little bit or at least give it a grayish undertone and it worked very well, it’s a little bit more like a shark blue. Not entirely sure if it gives the right idea but i’m satisfied with the result

[@MrJopanti]

Holy Crap. I watched all your videos and normally come back when I am painting mine. The alternate gave me a headache just to look at it lol

[@chaosxcaliblitz]

Adding that dollar store white dry brush was such a great touch!! Looks awesome :)

[@ARBAL_]

Good fast painting!

[@Levowitz]

Oh, no! The Sahuagin have found me!

[@The_Rising_Ape]

I really like the belly skin technique, looks great and will work well on Lizardmen type mnis.

[@notyourmothershobbies]

Totally!

[@Northern_Viking]

Looks great man.! I have been painting with layer and base paint, almost exclusively, and only using contrast as an extra part on some things. But then again im new to painting minis. I think i will try to use contrast paint some more in mobs. Just to speed up the pint time a bit.

[@notyourmothershobbies]

Absolutely :) Nothing wrong with learning the true basics of building up colour/shade/form, that's how I started. These new paints are definitely time savers, but I don't think I'll ever use them exclusively.

[@Warghoul]

Solid. I’m doing one like the card art, the rest will be different

[@N00b_Bot]

I'm taking the chance for the 3 fish things to practice diff techniques (mini is great for wet blending) and colour schemes. Keeping an eye on my potential tyrannid colour scheme which I cannot decide.

[@notyourmothershobbies]

That's a great way to tackle the backlog while strategizing for what's next. I do that too, whether with reference or minis I have, "cross training" between haha.

[@AsianViking27]

Great stuff. The Abominations have such a divergent look to the rest of the line, it was cool to see your take really explore that and embrace their uniqueness. I mean, I will always prefer the design of the classic Fimir, but licenses are a thing, eh?

[@notyourmothershobbies]

Yeah, honestly I'm with you there. The Fimir are such an more interesting looking creature. It's very distinct, can't miss it, and I liked it for that. Oh well, fish people it is haha.

[@wildblueenergy]

where do you get the alternate sculpt?

[@notyourmothershobbies]

Originally they were only available from the 2021 pre-order campaign. Now you can get them from the Prophecy of Telor and the Spirit Queen's Torment expansions.

[@Browndog34]

What contrast colour did you use for the warmer one?

[@notyourmothershobbies]

It's been awhile but I'll give it a shot remembering hah. I think for the Magikarp I used fuegan orange, and for the other green one I used dark angels green for the chitin and mantis warriors green for the skin. Hope that helps!
