HeroQuest Lockdown Revisited
Lockdown 2 - Starting the Furniture
It had been a while since we had played but during the winter lockdown Heroquest made its way back to the tabletop.
It had been my intention to address the Furniture at some point. Now seeing the panted miniatures moving around the unpainted scenery, I decided it was time to make a start.
Some of the scenery elements were damaged or missing parts so I decided to tackle the u damaged ones first, in order to make headway as quickly as possible. Here we have the Wardrobe and Bookshelves, the two Tables, three Treasure Chests, Fireplace and Weapons Rack. They were primed in the same khaki primer I had used for many of the heroes and monsters.
I wasn’t planning on spending much time on these pieces and jumped straight in with contrast Skeleton Hoard and Wildwood for the wooden areas. Iron breaker was used for the metals.
Skeleton hoard followed by a Screming skull dry brush was used on the skulls. The rats legs were picked out in Vallejo flesh tones before Wildwood and Black Templar Contrast were used to colour the fur. The stones of the fireplace were painted Vallejo Green Grey before being washed with Agrax and Nuln Oil. A light screaming skull dry brush brought the details back and added a dryness to the stone.
Although the paint jobs were very basic, the pieces looked so much better once the cardboard components were back in place.
