Painting HeroQuest: Episode 6 - SLAP CHOP Speed Painting the Skeletons

In this video I show you the "Slap Chop" method of speed-painting the Skeletons from the 2021 version of HeroQuest by Avalon Hill, including the figures from the Return of the Witch Lord expansion and the Mythic Tier bonus sculpts. This tutorial is geared mainly towards beginners, but experienced painters may still find something useful here.

Very nice. One minor nitpick: The "sharp part" of a scythe is on the inside.

[@boardwithpaint]

You're right, on a typical scythe that's true. But for whatever reason, these sculpts put the sharp part on the outside. This also matches the card artwork. I guess I really didn't think about it at the time...

I got mine a month after the Kickstart sadly missing those cool extras but weirdly i am painting them finally and finding so much less detail on mine. I think my Skeles were a bad cast. Some areas i see detail on yours, mine are almost smooth like the backs Are straight flat and my scythes didn't come to s point like yours i had to file them :( going to paint mine like yours except do the metal rusty and thy skirts dark red

[@boardwithpaint]

That's a shame your models are messed up. Is it just the skeletons, or are other models also missing detail? You might try reaching out to Avalon Hill. It's possible they'll send you replacements.

[@s7r49]

@boardwithpaint I bet they would have but ive been sitting on the set since like a month after the Kickstarter lol. My fault. The other models are okay.

[@boardwithpaint]

@@s7r49 You don't need to tell them how long you've had it :). I say give it a shot. Worst case scenario they say no, best case is they send you some new figures.

Good info just speed up the delivery dude.

[@boardwithpaint]

Thanks for the feedback - by delivery do you mean you want me to talk faster, paint faster, or release episodes faster?
