The Painting Guide from HeroQuest

This is of course the back of the HeroQuest booklet with some gorgeous painted samples from Mike McVey. I was truly stunned to see these and as to how the hell one could paint them that well and so smoothly.

Mike’s paint jobs for these samples on the side of the box lid are still some of my favorite miniatures that he has painted.

I would like to try and emulate this degree of detail in my own miniatures but have less of the bling in brightness and tone them down in contrast like the cover art by Les Edwards.

 

Here are the fearless heros ready to face the darkness and all the shite it brings to them in the depths of god knows where 😉

In short, I will start with them first as they are the best ones in the set.

The elf’s sword will have to be cut off and replaced with a new blade that an elf loving mate will provide me soon.

I cleaned up the barbarian first and washed him with some detergent and an old toothbrush. The applied a Dark Grey primer using an airbrush.

He is now ready to begin painting. The card art is what I will be basing the colors on for the miniatures in the set. I really like the Les Edward’s art and choice of colors.
