I love classic minis. I don't know why exactly, but there's something charming about older miniatures that I'm really fond of.

Often, when someone does a dashing job on a mini, we say "You've done justice to that mini." On that line of thinking, I feel like with older minis, the painter is doing them a favor.

I hope I've done tremendous favors to these old Heroquest minis. Client chose the color schemes:


Barbarian:


Wizard:


Fimir



The littlest little Bloodthirster. Or gargoyle, since MB didn't want demons in their game:

Awesome! Must redo mine!

Thanks.

It is a lot of fun to do these very old characters.

They look awesome

Oh man, I'm 12 again! You did these old fellas proud, well done

Lovely work on some classic models.

These look boss, man! I've only got as far as doing three goblins from the set I picked up last year. My wizard's missing a hand so I need to put my sculpting pants on before I get into the heroes.

Sculpting hands sticking out like that can get tricky. You'll probably need to start off with a thin bit of green stuff that you let dtry so that it can act as backing for you to sculpt the fingers.

yeah,
These are amazing! Are you doing the full box?

I recently bought a box and painting it up is on the to-do list.
I don't think It'll be anywhere as nice as these though.
three colour and dip I think!

Looking forward to seeing the rest!?

Panic...

Excellent work. You definitely did those old sculpts some favors!

So many memories. Nice paint job also

Those Fimir look amazing, and the barbarian is fantastic.

Thanks.

These minis were painted for a client, and he is painting the rest of the set.

(I wish I had a full copy of Heroquest to paint up, you know?)
