Heroquest Restoration

Step 6 – For the next layer, starting with reaper Tanned Skin for all the exposed skin.  For this color I just went over the higher parts of the models, not total coverage.

Step 7 – used Reaper Sapphire Blue on all the blue sections.  This was mostly covered, but left the darker blue in near the edges to hair and other cloth, to simulate a shadow.

Step 8 – Went over the higher areas with a thinned Blood Red from reaper.  This was thinned enough that I could go over the highest points again once the layer dried.

Step 9 – used Reaper Flesh Wash on all the skin areas, took care to put into the deeper areas, as I didn’t want to just completely wash out the whole faces and hands.

Step 10 – Used Vallejo Desert Yellow to go over both models hair.  For this color I did do deliberate paint strokes that would follow the strands of hair, using the color to add depth to the hair and variety in color.

Step 11 – Layered up the leather bits with Reaper Muddy Brown.  I noticed at this point that the male had bracers, so I went over them with this brown.  Since those were based in red before, it didn’t look too bad, so I went with this instead of rebasing them.

Step 12 – Used army painter strong tone wash in deliberate strokes on the hair to darken it up a bit and again add some more detail.  Also used this wash on the metal bits to dirty them up.

For now I’m calling these done.  I will redo the base color after some thought on what colors I want to use for heroes vs the evil minions.

I may come back and add more details later, but I still want the paint to be quick so I can get through the entire set in less than 20 years.
