Speed painting HeroQuest: Abominations/Fimir

[@lordfred557]

I love how easy it is to follow! It's not like after 3 vidéo you took every one of us as pros. Learning the basics is repeating. Thank you!

[@MidwinterMinis]

Exactly! For these videos, I always like to assume the viewer is still a newcomer to the hobby :)

[@oktalley99]

The fimir having 3 toes on one foot and 4 on the other sounds like a detail lovecraft would add right after he describes how Irish the people are

[@christopherkraken7625]

Huge numbers of fishy bois - not just an a tactic, but an aesthetic, dare I say it... a lifestyle.

[@zukawastaken]

Honestly I think these are THE BEST of all the series so far

[@MidwinterMinis]

Wow, thanks so much!

[@lacreatura6132]

You may not like them, but they are by far the most striking models in the series looks-wise. That blue-green gradient and those big ol' eyes really make the minis pop

[@chester1882]

Daaaamn, you continue to use the blue as a central color in the monsters but it still reads as green to the eye. Highlighting the faces really makes them pop as a whole model, something for me to take away even though I’m not painting along.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Yeah! As you've probably guessed I'm planning on using NO blue for the heroes to make them stand out from the enemies :)

[@undead775]

The eyes, oh my god they slay me! And the one that's looking down has that "oh my god I almost fell down that pit" look!

[@NagashUnbroken]

I actually really love the fish boys. Reminds me of Lovecraft, Bloodborne and Darkest Dungeon. 🐟

[@thalliwell100]

These really do look great, love the blue tones

[@templarknight4353]

I've had Heroquest for a while now and love it. I've painted most of the minis with Contrast paints but ur method is so much more fun. Already done all my furnature thanks to your amazing tutorials and just finished this bad boy. Thank you for bringing the fun back into painting. Still a beginner here though

[@Bluecho4]

For those wondering "what's a Fimir?", Arbitor Ian did a great video on Warhammer's forgotten monster species a while back.

[@Fexen_minis]

You definitely just mentioned my favourite anime of all time that does not get enough love 😁 guyver all the way!

[@WaywardBrigand]

This series actually inspired me to get HQ and a friend got me a few of the expansions. I can't say I'm following these perfectly, but I'm glad these have come out

[@KhorneliusPraxxGames]

those fishy guys look great...I love that sculpt!

[@madmanvarietyshow9605]

Awesome! I've been loving this series since the end of the Blackstone Fortress series! It's really been filling the hole in my heart for this style of content!

[@douglasburdett97]

I think I saw you at a games event in Burmingham on the weekend. They also look really cool well done!

[@agelatinouscube930]

These look phenomenal!

[@MidwinterMinis]

Thanks so much!

[@coreysykes6432]

These are my favourites out of this series so far

[@brothercaptain]

I love(craft) these painting series. I was so inspired by your Blackstone Fortress ones, and these are my new project too. Keep up the great job, cheers!

[@phil984]

Ive painted my ones lightblue with silver plates and yellow fins, looking great!

[@5chr4pn3ll]

It would be really cool to see a speed paint take on Legions Imperialis. Tiny soldiers are tricky.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Maybe one day!

[@iain.sm.c]

I like the new fimir models, they've clearly had a lot of work put into their design, with great detailing and energy. But the old ones are just so much more unique and interesting than generic fish bois. You did a great job bringing them to life nonetheless, Guy. Keep it up.

[@darthkek1953]

The old sculpts had charm, the old Warlock & Chaos Warrior with their nipple-ring helmets. Pure fun.

[@willmendoza8498]

Love the blue shadows

[@TooMiniModels]

What a wonderful calming voice!

[@MidwinterMinis]

Thanks so much!

[@sXeAndriex]

If you want to go a step further, carefully cut off the eyes with your hobby knife and replace them with googley eyes.

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Very nice video. Love these little green guys with they big goofy teeth 🤣🤣🤣

[@joshuaedley5191]

The finished models looked awesome. Great paint work really like the techniques.

[@janfranc7427]

Love the minis mate! Great vid!

[@diyfireking]

Beautiful piece of art 👍👍

[@colbybastian17]

I LOVE those models! They're great Fishman models, very in line with DnD monsters

[@Darkreaper1982]

I'm so use to playing with Firmir that these feel a little odd to me as well! Nice paint scheme as I wasn't sure whether to paint them either blue (cause they look like fish!) or green as Firmirs are green. Never thought to do/combine both!

[@neilandrews2995]

You inspired me to get the new heroquest box, I got it super cheap off 'evil smiler' it's my way back into mini painting after a 15+ year hiatus. Cheers

[@darthkek1953]

Fantastic series, dropping in to say I've seen these painted with pure gloss black eyes and they look terrifying.

[@warp-smith]

Ayyy fishy bois! Love the paint job Guy!

[@WarhammerWings]

Cracking job!

[@anneperchard3477]

Love them, especially the eyes and teeth.

[@SynthWaghhMinis]

Not quite what i was expecting clicking on this video from my notifications. Bit of a shock seeing those things

[@MidwinterMinis]

I know right? Gross boys!

[@VAB0L0]

These came out amazing!

[@timhutter5316]

Finally, a good Tau tutorial!

[@Scubasgamecorner]

These came out great

[@isaakeveritt9599]

Oh this is useful! I'm more of a D&D player, but I'm planning a nautical campaign... So I had some Sahuagin minis laying around. Just never had a decent idea of how I wanted them to look, now I know!

[@alexlaurent409]

5:20 I have the correct number of toes thank you very much... Four on each eh?

[@marcopritoni7182]

I kinda like the new models. They are a little Lovecraftian

[@mikemcculloch7118]

Wow, a Guyver reference... maybe they have bio-boosted armour? Awesome tips. Cheers.

[@danitbelle6136]

I think it's just because I play in a LARP largely rooted in Irish mythology, where our fomorians (inspiration for GW's "fimir") are very fishy-coded, but I REALLY like those fishy models...! On the other hand, I'm not a massive fan of the other minis in the new set, so... I don't know, what have we learned? Different brush-strokes for different folks, I guess. (I love my old retro set)

[@buckyohare9993]

Some shade going out to Guernsey there!

[@SgtHouse]

Great video and very helpful too! Please keep it up!

[@nickdavis5420]

The old school reminds me of my childhood. However i love fish people!

[@chrisashcroft2111]

I like this, but any chance of finishing the start collecting deathmatches, or the second edition starter sets please?

[@Marconius6]

For the eyes, you could literally just use a pen too. You can get a micron pen for just a few quid, of varying diameters.

[@chrisreilly6061]

This would be great for Seraphon!

[@mrgiggles247]

I was just absent mindedly humming the Start Collecting DEATHMATCH intro music and what should I see when I open KZbin? Why, it's a Midwinter Minis video of course! My mind was obviously influenced by something in the void, calling me...

[@RevanR]

2:58 I feel there's a miss of chance for coral-rusted metal texture paint to paint deep sea creature

[@MidwinterMinis]

That would look really cool, yeah!

[@kmykz]

the OG Firmirs always remind me of Gargoyle's Quest, very nostalgic

[@basileerla]

Thanks!

[@joemacleod-iredale2888]

4:05 chocolate starfish?

[@ProbablyNotThatGuy]

Love the content bro

[@gearsofwar94]

All I can hear in my head when I see those fishy bois is Warcraft Murloc noises

[@GinevraMakes]

They're cute!!

[@Jjgm69]

Heard me out with what I'm going to say, the fimir I understand that he is in the dungeon but the abomination ? an aquatic monster in a dungeon that has no water ? What happened there ? my theory is (which I hope isn't real) is that they didn't add another one-eyed monster because games workshop would maybe say something like, oh it's a one-eyed creature, you can't do that. and that's why the abomination exists, it's strange also do we really need so many miniatures of the abomination in the box ? not even the gargoyle has that many miniatures and is supposed to be a more important enemy.

[@krodis735]

Lol, I use my Fimir to test flesh tone contrast paint all the time. It's probably time for me to give them the proper respect they deserve

[@CharlyEcho35]

I don’t see the silver as armour plates ! More like scales from a sardine or a thuna !

[@matzpfadfinder]

most easy going follow along videos 🤩 love it. still I must admit I dearly missed the outro song :/

[@horuslupercal2385]

Have you stopped making the battle reports, Guy? 😪

[@jsyjay]

That Guernsey reference 🤣

[@jessicabalser7892]

Cool

[@TheCotzi]

i have 2 classic versions one remastered but i dont know about this version the fishmonsters are so off in myx opinion theyx shoud had kept the femir

[@VaultBoy13]

Yeah, the abominations look like something that'd be in a Lovecraftian horror not the traditional fantasy setting of HeroQuest. I'm kind of surprised that they didn't go with trolls for the reprint.

[@TheCotzi]

@@VaultBoy13 yxour right with the lovecraft thing that would be easyx a creature from him i have the complete collection of lovecraft

[@JonSteitzer]

Hey Guy, is this series ongoing?

[@thelonelybolter8245]

Did not know HeroQuest had lovecraftian squishers.

[@martyshobbyisland]

Maybe he’s from Guernsey only jersey people will get that joke

[@eddiecrawford3962]

Guernsey slander !?!?!

[@anneperchard3477]

Channel Islander friendly banter.

[@SirTetley]

Another 🇬🇬 comment 😂 thats fighting talk! *adds Ork Corpse to blood angel base

[@SeasideWitcher]

Top Marks... you have doubled the asking price for all Hero Quest on Ebay 😅

[@RevanR]

1:33 heh He said "bushy brush"

[@MidwinterMinis]

All day every day

[@gaborboth3602]

You don't like that they have three toes on one foot and four on the other? What are you, lack-toes intolerant?

[@Sup3rH4ns]

Oi! 5:19

[@ChaseDaOrk3767]

If I may ask, why aren't you a fan of their designs?

[@Impo8816]

rahh funni fish people

[@MidwinterMinis]

Big sushi

[@popburnsy3207]

Manfish!

[@jellysandjamz250]

GUY!!! Please get wet pallet 😆

[@LinkiePup]

Fim mentioned. Bottom text. (Inside joke with an IRL friend who likes Fimir.)

[@BloodintheAir]

Guy's paint palette gives me anxiety. 😅

[@franeksznura9500]

G'day.

[@MidwinterMinis]

Howdy!

[@erikmuise2849]

Those eyes are.. upsetting

[@willwyatt9300]

Typical crapaud painting!😂

[@eduardotapiasaez]

Gracias por el video, estuvo excelente!

[@MidwinterMinis]

¡Gracias por ver!
