Just wanted to show some pics of my newly finished Advanced Heroquest Ratmen. had wanted to paint these guys for years and finally had chance to add these to my collection..

Took a lot of time to try and give each one a bit if unique feel even though they are mono pose, combination of mixing of clothing colors and alteration in style I think helped achieve a good ragtag vermin look but also keeping close to the early 1990's box art look of advanced hero quest..

Ah AHQ - the most punishing economy of any RPG. Really went out of its way to illustrate why no one would want to do this job and why only the desperate would...

Just finished painting up the advanced hero's quest wizard painted up in style of the box reference image..

Good work on all the rats and the flame design on the wizard's cloak.

All this looks very good, well done. Wizard's cloak and the Skaven shields particularly.

Got the next two warriors done up, only left to do is the dwarf and then I will do the henchmen for each warrior.

Got dwarf painted up and added to the collection

I like how freaked out the Empire swordsman looks! First time seeing a horde of ratmen

Yeah he does look rather shocked and wide eyed lol

I am really pleased with how these turned out and that now I finally after all these years have the main mini's all painted up and to a very decent table top gaming standard. The ones I painted when I was 12 were nowhere as good as these one turned out so returning after all these years and trying a redux on these old sculpts really put to test a lot of the skills I have learned in recent years..

Working on the Henchmen now and since I wanted to give the henchmen the rounded shields like on the promo pics for AHQ I did up these 3D shields for the henchmen.

Got first set of Henchmen painted up, hoping to have last of them done before end of week.

Wow, very nice. Always surprised more folks don't sell nice retro shields on etsy or such. I would love a giant pack of Skaven ones.

I wanted for the elf henchmen since the three shields sorta is hard to do different patterns like other shields since its a nature scene I wanted to do something that made the different shields stand out so since there are three I thought best do three time settings Daytime, Sunset and Night but keeping the woodland nature of the shield

That's incredible, well done

More work in progress, only 1 dwarf henchmen left to do and the last two henchmen for wizard

Finished last three henchmen which now completes all 12 henchmen

They look great all massed together. I like how you have a riot of colour while still maintaining a coherent theme.
