Hero Quest: Zombies

Hero Quest was part of my childhood introduction to the hobby. Now I play it sometimes with the kids. I’m loosely planning to play Rangers of Shadow Deep sometime, so I decided to paint up some of the models. You can always use more zombies!

Hero Quest Zombies (group one)

I took this opportunity to try a different undead flesh recipe. The center is my standard (Secret Weapon Stone wash over an offwhite), widely used in Malifaux. The others use a Secret Weapon Cool Grey instead. Having some variation is nice, but I don’t love the blue.

Arcanists: Mecharachnids

These mechanical spiders continue my fleshing out of Arcanists Versatile models.

Mecharachnid (blue)

I followed pretty much the same pattern as with the Soulstone Miners. Wave Length blue and silver, with some brass for highlights. It’s simple, but it’s clean.

Mecharachnid (silver)

I had a heck of a time figuring out which leg went where. On the blue one, I think I got it right. Not so much for poor silver here. I even had to use a rock to cover up how uncoordinated the legs are.

Arcanists: Soulstone Miners

I may be late to the party, but I’ve finally added Soulstone Miners to my collection.

Soulstone Miner (blue)

I used this as an excuse to play with my other TurboDork colorshift paint, Wave Length. It’s a really nice blue/black metallic. I quite like it.

Soulstone Miner (siler)

These are pretty simple models, so I also broke out the weathering pigments to add some depth where the miner breaks through the ground.
