Paint Heroquest FAST!! - Undead and Greenskins - RUSH the WASH

In today's video I revisit one of my favorite board games ever and teach you how to paint the greenskin faction (goblins, orcs and fimir) along with the undead one (skeletons, zombies and mummies) fast and easy with washes.
The doors I've used for my Heroquest are from zealotminiatures.com/. But there are other good alternatives there:
Wizkids doors: amzn.to/3kSLtok
Mantic doors, double and single, perfect for customizing your Heroquest!: amzn.to/34bn4Vr
Mantic also has a great set for dungeon furniture: amzn.to/2Y8ih2Z
Daler Rowney FW Ink Sepia 251, one of my favourite inks EVER:
amzn.to/3gF7HIg
For protecting your nicely painted miniatures, nothing beats Testor’s Lacquers:
• Glosscote: amzn.to/3kznAlF
• Dullcote: amzn.to/3itIy3r
• 2 x Glosscote + 2 x Dullcote + Set of Brushes, ABSOLUTE BARGAIN!! amzn.to/2XS5lOy
Want to start painting? Although I mostly use Citadel paints, I STRONGLY recommend Vallejo colours for painting miniatures. They are great, their bottles are the best and the price vs quality is phenomenal!
• Vallejo wash set:
amzn.to/3a0ylsp
• Vallejo Game Color set:
amzn.to/33wrUMn
Quite decent and affordable brushes for beginners and RushtheWashers alike: The Army Painter brush set:
amzn.to/3iebvQP
And if you want a good brush without breaking the bank, Da Vinci Maestro Series 10 is for you:

Overall I'm so thrilled with the minis, I never realized as a kid and it just dawned on me out just how detailed these minis were until I started to paint them. I messed up trying to highlight the skeleton with white paint so i'm not thrilled with his ribs and on the Zombie I was a bit to heavy handed with the Dark Tone Wash (AP equivalent of nuln oil, but I think citadel washes are superior) I ended up re-painting the blue gems on the Fimir and Orc to purple as I didn't like the red/blue contrast for the gems I think on my next batch of goblins i'm going to give some of them purple shirts and give one a gold axe if I want to use him as a "King Goblin" These are literally the first 6 minis i've ever painted and I'm so happy with how they came out, thank you so much!

I've just got my HQ set and expansions, I'm looking to paint in the NY. I've watched lots of other tutorials but OMFG do they love to GRIMDARK these up with Nuln Oil. HQ is not 40K. It's Warhammer (ish) but RETRO Hammer. Old Hammer. BRIGHT Hammer. And especially this game, a toy. Not an Underdark diorama. I love your brightness and will look to other models. I saw someone do 4 doors in 4 styles, the last was Masters of the Universe cartoon inspired, green and purple. It looked AWESOME. So Greyskullish for me...

[@rushthewash]

Grimdark is an easy way out, and it looks quite decent, if not outright beautiful. But, as you said, it is Oldhammer looks that made it iconic, hence why I painted it that way. I have several tutorials for the new one, so check my channel videos, and you will find how to paint all the monsters there!

Greetings, beautiful painting of your Hero Quest miniatures! I have ordered most of all the paints you used to paint your set, but was not able to find the Boltgun metal paint. What other color besides Boltgun metal can I use?

[@rushthewash]

Leadbelcher!

[@kevind.k7512]

Hello, just noticed that you listed boltgun metal in the video for painting the goblins, i wondered about that bc it used to be a paint i owned yet it is no longer made by GW for a very very long time now i believe. I even think they discontinued the paint they made to follow it up so its from before the last edition of paints sets from them even.

[@rushthewash]

Man... I am old and my mind miles names from so many editions... Any dark metallic paint will do. In fact I recently discovered that you can basically paint metals by doing agrax Earthshade or similar, Basilicanum Grey and then highlights with a medium-tone metallic. The name of the paint I used there is Leadbelcher. If you want a very stable range that doesn't change colors often, then try Vallejo!

[@mahari7285]

Thank you sooo much for these tutorials...! I wonder how you got the greyish tone on the zombie's hair with Drakenhof Nightshade? Because my went all to light blue which looks pretty weird..! :( BTW: I primed them all with Corax White. Happy Gaming from Germany!

I owe you, man. This video inspired me to finally get myself a Heroquest-game(two, actually) and also start painting. This tutorial is amazing and the results I'm getting as a total newbie to the hobby are...quite good. Question: Do you think there are shaders from the citadel line of paints that could be used in place of your inks tho? Hobby / painting shops where I live are...limited, but ordering online from GW is simple...

[@rushthewash]

Some people mix paints with lahmian medium (there are videos out there on how to make your own medium, check those out!) and make washes with those :) You might want to give it a try!

[@Fastwinstondoom]

@@rushthewash I mean, that is probably something I should learn...but I just picked up a brush for the first time 5 days ago :P Is there a color code or something for the inks you use (both for this and the hero painting video) so that I might find something roughly similar? Turns out there is a local store selling daler-rowney inks but they have names like "antelope brown" and "red earth" which doesn't really tell my newbie brain much :) Sorry to bug you with more questions!

[@rushthewash]

@@Fastwinstondoom just to make sure I can help you somehow, you mean different from GW range? I have a video on what inks I use, beside the FW Dailer Rowney ones, which I have several, but end up using mostly sepia, raw sienna, flame red... these work great, but my color schemes are based mostly on GW's range because of the way their new washes work.

[@michaelcapone175]

Miguel - I'm a newb so please excuse me if I state something wrong. You suggested a Winsor & Newton Kolinsky. When I look these up they seem to have rounded (pointed) tips. The brush you use in the video seems to be flat (no pointy tip). Is there a difference when it comes to painting miniatures with washes? Also, I see many people say you only need one or two brush sizes. Which size(s) do you suggest for painting these types of miniatures with washes? Thanks!

[@rushthewash]

Round always, unless you're using it for drybrushing, and in this case, NEVER use a good brush: old or cheap ones only, because this technique destroys the bristles. I use size 1 for most things, that's where you should put your money in. Anything bigger, go for cheaper brushes. Smaller, like a size 0 or 00, pay money for it, because those are worth it.

[@RowanDT]

Hi Miguel, sorry about this but how many parts water to ink are you using for the dark brown and flame red Daler Rowney inks? Thankyou!!

[@rushthewash]

Sorry for the late reply. I use "eye-o-meter", depending of what I want to achieve. It is not an exact science: if I want a darker stain, then less water. If I want a dash of color, more water. It is easy to correct, nonetheless: if your ink is too "thick", clear it off while still wet, and do it with more water. If it is too "bland", repeat the wash!

[@makiskijken4092]

Little question: Is there a way to wash off messed up paint to repaint a piece?

[@rushthewash]

You mean stripping a model off paint? Sure! Use isopropyl alcohol, soak the minis in it for some hours, use an old toothbrush and scrub it away!

[@lindt26]

“Wine always helps”

[@patrickmasse7159]

I love your way of painting with wash but Citadel is very expensive . Could we find the same quality with Vallejo or Army Painting ?

[@rushthewash]

I haven't checked those, to be honest. There are videos of people that make their own washes with mediums and other stuff. I think you should check those as well!

[@jeremiahembs5343]

Vallejo has a set of inks that are very good and a whole set is pretty cheap. You can mix with a little thin medium to make them work more like a wash. There are tutorials on youtube on how to make your own mediums and washes. But usually for washes and inks I just put a little regular paint on a paper plate and just wet my brush and rub it on a bar of ivory soap, dab it a bit on my paper towel, and dip back into the paint and use that for a controlled wash. It flows pretty nicely without any more expense. You can control how wet or concentrated the stuff is by using more paint or more water or more soap or having a mostly dry brush or mostly a wet one. Cheap way to have fun.

[@ninseineon]

Hi, watching this more than 2 years later and trying to paint my own HeroQuest set, do you have some recommendations for replacements of some of those key colours that don't exist anymore? Like Waywatchers Green, Bloodletter, Lamenters Yellow, etc...

[@rushthewash]

Waywatcher, Bloodletter and Lamenter's yellow probably could be reciprocated using medium mixed with Warplightning green, Blood Angels red and Casandora yellow respectively. It is a pity GW seems to have this need to change random colours everywhere from time to time...

[@rushthewash]

If you want to have a good brush for minis, never buy acrylic brushes. Natural hair is the best choice, and of those, sable and kolinsky weasel is the even better choice. I'd practice first with a decent but cheap-ish brush, until I get the knack of it, and then invest on a good quality brush. I'd recommend Raphael 8404 or Winsor & Newton Kolinsky, but add some brush soap to your basket and learn how to take care of your brushes before doing anything with them! Enjoy the new hobby!

I was with you until I saw /how many/ paints you needed per model. Does anyone have a painting guide for those who only use say 6 colors per model?

[@rushthewash]

What colors do you use?

[@crumbum2]

@@rushthewash Same as you. Mostly Citadel paints with a few Testor pots for odd colors. They are upstairs.

[@rushthewash]

@@crumbum2 so you would have the materials to do this, but you'd prefer using less? There is a point in the middle of the video where you see an intermediate result without detailing.

Where did you get this game?

Ebay is the place to go if you got the $$$. Thrift stores if you feel lucky!

The Quest Book from the EU version.

@@rushthewash Thanks for the info! The U.S.A. version is not as nice looking as that one.

I noticed near the end of this video you said that you would go over how you painted the bases but i looked at your part two of heroquest and you never went over it.

So I was going to try this technique until I found out that GW no longer makes a lot of these washes!!!!! In fact they replaced most of them with the new contrast colors. Of course the company out to rob you of your had earned cash pumped up the price as well. They always pump the price up. So what was once $9 is now $11. Going on Amazon or Ebay to find these colors ends 2 ways, 1.) Can't find or 2.) They are anywhere between $20 to $50 a pot!!! The pots are only 0.4 ounces!!!!!

[@rushthewash]

Which colours do you want to find? There are some that are very similar nowadays. And, yeah: discontinued paints and price raises are my two least favourite things about GW, for sure.

[@Sophie1Lynne]

For the non art student... why start with yellow?

[@rushthewash]

With washes it is like the other way around: you go from lighter colors to darker ones. Yellow is one or the two basic colors that make green, and it also makes orcs look brighter and more 80's paintjob-like. Or course you can do different types of green, with pure green or a base with diluted red or magenta to have a different finish, but this is a type of green tone I like to achieve with my greenskins and it really makes them pop on the table :)
