HeroQuest Painting Guide Ep. 6 - The Dread Sorcerer

Episode 6 of my painting guides for HeroQuest. In this episode I tackle the Dread Sorcerer, the closest figure the monsters have to a character from what I can tell. I decided to add a bit of interest by mimicking the artwork from the games master's board and adding the spell effect.
HeroQuest published by Avalon Hills/Hasbro.
PDF guides for the monsters can be found on my Facebook & Instagram pages.

Wow, it´s really nice!

[@BrushWoodMinis]

Thank you ☺️ Glad you like him.

[@raffaellaV]

Really a beautiful work, especially for the details, I really like that magic effect on his left hand whose light softly hits part of his body, really thank you very much for these videos 😊👍

[@BrushWoodMinis]

You’re very welcome and thank you for the kind words. 🤗

[@raffaellaV]

@@BrushWoodMinis It's always a pleasure for me 😊

[@Rekkless]

Sensational!

[@BrushWoodMinis]

Thanks man, my apologies that’s it’s taken so long to get here.

[@SamuraiSquirrel]

Wow great work! That lighting effect you did for the spell was amazing, I will be trying that 100% 👌🏽

[@BrushWoodMinis]

Thanks I really appreciate that and glad you enjoyed it. I’d love to see the results when you’re done. Feel free to pop them over on my Facebook page.

[@wj_owen]

Just done this little project. Really happy with it. Thanks. Great tutorial.

[@BrushWoodMinis]

Awesome I’m glad it helped and thanks for getting in touch 😊

[@RAWxxx07]

Is the painting for the Orc and Abo also coming up ? Love your hero quest series :) and this one looks incredible!

[@BrushWoodMinis]

Wow thanks for those kind words 😊 The Orcs and Abomination were covered in the PDF series that you can find linked on my Facebook page. The Orcs in particular are very similar to the goblins for techniques to be fair. Any problems viewing them just let me know. 👍🏻 facebook.com/BrushWoodminis

[@daz0612]

Excellent vid ☺️ I did a slightly different colour scheme, used Purple Eater by Turbo Dork on the cloak...did create an amazing glistening effect which I've not seen before 😊

[@BrushWoodMinis]

Excellent, I’d love to see that.

[@daz0612]

@@BrushWoodMinis can u share pictures on here? Otherwise I can show u what it looks like 🙂

[@BrushWoodMinis]

I’m not sure you can but feel free to add it to the comments on my latest post over on FB. I’m trying to encourage some of my followers over there to share their wip’s on there.

[@daz0612]

Also did u do a vid for the Abomination model? Can see it in your vid intro but can't find the tutorial?

[@BrushWoodMinis]

Not a video no, but you can find links to a pdf guide I created over on my Facebook page. They’re pinned at the top of the page 😊

[@daz0612]

@@BrushWoodMinis downloaded and I will be following that - thank you. Quick q - does the Ultra Matte Varnish have to be that specific brand? Vallejo be ok? I've not varnished any of my models - assume its advisor to do that? Doesn't take away any detail? Just to protect from usage?

[@BrushWoodMinis]

Not at all re the varnish Darren. That’s just the brand I use and have good experience with. The question as to whether or not to varnish is completely personal to be honest. I do so as to protect the paint job in transit and from handling during gameplay. Just be mindful of not applying it too thick, therefore ghosting or greying out the work below it.
