Hero Quest Painting Guide Ep.74 Explorer

Love the saturation with your miniatures

[@MarleneSB]

That empty hand is crying out for a flaming torch, preferably made with an orc femur dipped in pitch. Nice work x2!

[@notyourmothershobbies]

Oooh, yeah that's a great idea for some kit-bashing, and would really make it your own.

[@Octopugilist]

Excellent job! I really love the skin tones you did. Wyldwood is usually to dark unless I thin it. Gargarak's Sewer is a nice warm brown that goes great over off white if you're going for more of an South Asian or Indian skin tone I wonder if the skintone of the Dwarves in Avalon Heroquest correspond to the skintones of the humanoids of the lands above them like Dragon Age, or if it could be a response to pockets of radiation/heat/magic from the planet's core. Dwarves in fantasy almost always live in some kind of diaspora, so the original reason could be lost to the ages

[@notyourmothershobbies]

It very well could be part of their lore :o Yeah wyldwood can often come out very dark, it's one you gotta watch out for when using. Too much and its basically black, too little and it's too tanned.

I'm looking forward to painting this model, almost as much as I await the BS my players will try. 😊

[@notyourmothershobbies]

Oh yeah, they'll find a way haha!

[@whiterabbit2029]

They always do, but I've got some bs ready in turn. 😆

Really nice work. I will paint the bottle red as it reminds me of a health potion. Blue reminds me of mana, but really you models came out great!

[@notyourmothershobbies]

Yeah, a potion of healing is probably much more fitting haha, I think I was just thinking "water" and went with it. If I painted another one, I'd for sure take that idea :)

[@Myrth535]

@notyourmothershobbies water makes sense as well. Glad you mentioned that, helps open the mind to more possibility and logic.

[@aleopardstail]

for what its worth with the contrast paints, I found when painting horses that if you thin it with the contrast medium 2:1 or 1:1 then apply a couple of coats the blotchy ones go on a lot better. also trying to resist painting mine as Dora

[@notyourmothershobbies]

Thanks for the tip, I'll try that next time :o Zargon, no fighting!

[@Deadduck2pt0]

Ok, the beard has inspired me to possibly try to match it to Saberfang. Maybe thats why its a companion. It thinks the Explorer is another kitty.

[@notyourmothershobbies]

Haha! Great idea!
