Painting HeroQuest: Episode 5 - SLAP CHOP Painting the Orcs

In this video I show you the "Slap Chop" method of speed-painting the Orcs from the 2021 version of HeroQuest by Avalon Hill, including the figures from the Kellar's Keep expansion and the Mythic Tier bonus sculpts. This tutorial is geared mainly towards beginners, but experienced painters may still find something useful here.

Hi. I just want to say that your videos have been a great help to me. I have been painting my whole HeroQuest set using Army Paint speed paints and I have used your videos as reference. All my minis are looking great so far! Thank you!

[@boardwithpaint]

Happy I could help!

[@erinweatherly6539]

Orcs definitely know how to slap chop

[@manna33]

Hi, great video. I will see all your videos about Heroquest. I will start painting next month. I'm just buying stuff for now. I think that i will paint all with slop chop method. Jus one question. Do i need to use varnish after the painting? I will play with may games after paint all miniautres. Thank you.

[@boardwithpaint]

Thank you! Yes, I always varnish after painting. I usually use Testors Spray Lacquer (what used to be called "Dullcote"). You can purchase it here: amzn.to/3MGNW4U
I've also used AK Interactive Ultra Matte varnish (amzn.to/46w9Pex), but you'll need an airbrush to apply that.

great video! PLease put my mind at ease... was that Warcraft 2 music?

[@boardwithpaint]

Thank you! And yes... Can you think of more appropriate music to use when painting orcs?

[@The-Advent-Sabre]

Haha I was thinking the same thing! Very nostalgic too.

goblins look better with orcskin lol xD

[@s7r49]

but i like me some colorful goblins

[@boardwithpaint]

I haven't decided how I want to do the goblins yet, but I was considering doing a broad mix using greens, yellows, and reds (maybe even some blue ones)

[@s7r49]

3/4 done with my orcs. Yours came out better I can tell you have more experience with underpainting xD
