Wow, that's a whole farm worth of scythes. I'm always impressed with how much nicer these old models look with a skilled paintjob.

Here is some Mummies and Zombies from Return of the Witchlord.....

For those following along at home, I got a copy of Mage in the Mirror so, this thread will continue to live on into 2025 as I start painting that.

It has a whole new set of Elven furniture, some Elf minis, and even some more Ogres! More to come on that soon!

Nice! Maybe I’ll paint my trove of HeroQuest this year.

Great work. I really loved playing HeroQuest. These mini look a lot better than the ones I had as a kid. Keep it up.

It looks like Dread Moon uses a lot of the same sculpts as Mage in the Mirror. Maybe I will pick that up so I can paint all the sculpts as once?
That is something I will need to think about.

In other news, it will be too cold to primer in the next few weeks, so it might be a bit before I get to this expansion to paint at all anyway.

Still on the Quest.....



This came in the mail, and I put some thoughts and a lot of photos of it up on my blog.

Did I need this? No. Am I glad I got it? Yes.

I just got a package in the mail..... it was the Path of the Wandering Monk! More to come on that once I get the Monks painted up.

I have pretty much given up on getting the Rogue Heir though.

So, it is time to move from painting into going out on Quests for Heroes.



You can see me take on the first two Quests from the Core Quest book at BloodandSpectacles.com on the blog.

Delving back in the dungeons on the Quest for Heroes! This time we descend into the Lair of the Orc Warlord and then search for Prince Magnus' Gold!



You can read about the latest exploits of the Fellowship of Destiny on the blog here:

Fear not, the painting is not over either. On the painting Desk I have the First Light heroes, the Wandering Monks, and the Mage in the Mirror Elf. I also have a review for Mage in the Mirror coming up.

Stay tuned on this Quest of Heroes station!

Next on the painting desk in the Mage in the Mirror supplement.



However, before I start painting, I figured I would show you the supplement and talk a bit about what is in it.

You can find the overview here.

The Fellowship of Destiny delves back into the quest by exploring Melar's Maze and then dealing with the Legacy of an Orc Warlord.



Can the Fellowship remain unbroken? You can find out on the blog:

The Quest for Heroes is back! This week I paint up a bunch of heroes to embark on epic quests! This time I am painting models from the Path of the Wandering Monk, First Light, and the Mage in the Mirror Elf.



Here they are all ready to be painted. Take a look at the blog to find out how I painted these models up and to get my thoughts on the Path of the Wandering Monk.

Very nice Easy E.
